    Our current Repukeliscum VP nominee

    "Bristol not only owned up and will, hopefully, carry her baby to term but she plans to marry the father. That makes her different from millions of other young and older girls in America and far different from millions of others who bear children out of wedlock and whose boyfriends then dump them and are seen and heard from no more."

    Yeah, really?

    Have the soon-to-be wedded couple stated this, from their own lips? Why, no. What we have is Mommie and Daddie, cramming them into a marriage, to make sure that Mommie's GREAT BIG IMPORTANT CAREER is not derailed.

    Mommie's career is SO IMPORTANT that she is gonna kill ol' Levi if he doesn't make an honest woman of that hot little Bristol.

    That's the usual approach: "You either agree to marry Bristol, or I am gonna take you out right here, right now - me and my trusty aught-six will make that happen. I'll shoot you down like a dog, buddy, and my friends in the Alaska Police Department will ensure that things work out fine."

    Ol' Sarah is playing for all the marbles. She's MORE important than Levi, more important than Bristol, really MORE IMPORTANT than anybody.

    She cannot be stopped. Our country NEEDS Sarah more than anything.
