Hurricane Bristol hits Minnesota

Republicans try to brush off the tempest over Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and turn that other storm in Louisiana into a political prop.

    It's who pays that matters

    To FPZ1807 Ebony & Ivory

    What a silly comment! It doesn't matter to me if it's Obama's daughter or Palin's daughter who is pregnant. Those families can afford it. What matters most is when the taxpayer is forced to pay for the consequences of illegitimacy. Have all the children you want, married or not; just make sure YOU, YOU, not me, can pay to support them, emotionally & financially. We taxpayers won't be paying to support Bristol's baby! We ARE supporting the illegitimate offspring of the irresponsible who can't afford to have them yet continue having them anyway.
