    Bristol Palin

    I feel sorry for Britol. I would not be surprised, if she felt her parents were not paying attention to her and her sisters. Her older brother is going to Iraq, and one can assume her parents were concerned. Then her parents have a down syndrome baby. A child who needs special care. So she turns to her boyfriend. So now she is having a baby. Her mom is off campaigning, she is suppose to help care for the baby brother. Plus, in my opinion, the boyfriend doesn't seem that great. She has to get married, stop her plans for her future. I think she caught in a bind. When the rightwingers say she is so great for keeping the baby, I wish they would say the best thing would be to put the baby up for adoption.
