Sarah Palin Named Daughter Bristol After ESPN (Sort Of)

I sure agree Jeannie... the media and many other's are so hypocritical when it comes to Sarah Palin... Just look at the names many of the Hollywood Actor's and Actresses name their children and no one is scratching their head or ripping them apart...same for minority groups.... I think Sarah and her husband did a pretty good job of naming their children...Plus, she is now being ripped apart in many areas that have so much to do with the culture issues in Alaska. They do things differently then in most of the other states... but she is being 'blamed' for the culture Alaskan's have lived in for a long time. Ashley Judd is a good actress...and I have some of her movies because she brings out 'abuse issues concerning women' ... and I don't judge her for the type of movies she does...but she has decided to 'judge' Sarah Palin. I for one can do without any of Ashley Judd's movies if she continues judging others. God's word says 'if we judge other's we will be judged' ... sincerely, judi

If Palin would stay in Alaska and take care of HER state instead of hopping around the country sucking up to every political big wig she can find, we might just leave her alone. However, her state is suffering from loss of tax revenue due to lower gas prices, the inuit are having to choose between heat and food, and she is in Washington D.C. at an exclusive dinner that has nothing to do with Alaskan business.

We'd like to leave her alone and stop thinking about her...she won't shut up and go away. People who think she is qualified to be in top office are just uninformed!!!

If Palin would keep her stupid mouth shut, people would forget about her like she should be. I am a female and these stupid men all think she is so hot and they probably are banging her instead of their loyal wives. I think women stand an excellent chance of making a name for themselves in this man's world but not the way Palin is going about it. She is a total moron!!!

Yeah, if Obama had a pregnant teenage daughter the news media would have been all over it but they would have been applauding his support and her 'sacrifice' rather than bashing the entire family...the news media was anything but 'unbiased' this last election!

And personally I think the attack on Palin for having a child with Down Syndrome was extremely reprehensible. No child should be murdered just because the parents don't want to take care of a 'handicapped' child. Everyone deserves to live. Just because we, as a society, see them as handicapped and unable to live a normal life doesn't mean that their life is worth less than the preconceived notion of what is 'normal'. I applaud her love and support of her entire family. I think she is a wonderful role model.

Sarah Palin was talked about by James Dobson, he said he applauded her for family values. I believe one of the reasons she is sooo hated is she represents a life of responsilibility. As Americans we have become a society of people who want to live for today and not think of how our actions do have an affect on others. We want to live immorral, reckless lives and expect the Government( which is all of our citizens) to "bail" us out. There is no such thing as " I can do what ever I want,as long as I don't hurt anyone" That is an outright lie. Whether we do what is right or wrong, we have an affect on people. My life does affect your life and so your life affects mine. I stand behind Sarah Palin and her family and look forward to her running again in 2012. PS I am my brother's keeper.

Sarah is a role model? Please. If she were a democrat you would be all over her so please admit it. As for Sarah getting on the plane AFTER her water broke and flying all the way to Alaska where she got in a car and drove hours to get to her hometown? I don't think that sounds like a responsible mother at all. She put the child's life in danger.

I agree that the baby should have been onstage if the rest of the family was up there, too. However, what I noticed every time the family came on stage with her was that she would make sure that she held the baby just long enough for a photo op and then would pass the baby off again. She never held the baby more than a minute or so.....That's why people think the baby was used as a prop.

The last thing I want to do is have a combative spirit. I think often we so easily criticize without really thinking that we are talking about real people who have real families with real feelings. It's wonderful to live in a country where we can freely give our opinions; however, I do believe that Sarah Palin is a courageous woman who loves her family & her country. I think it's very petty to pick her apart because she stands up for values & principles that many people also value.

If I remember right Obama's kids were on the stage also and no one is accusing him of using them as props or that they should be in bed. Double standard if you ask me.

While we were not talking about them, they should have been in bed too.

M,
You appear to be an idiot and a nobody and never was or will be. I think it just makes your day being critical of people that makle meaningful decesions. Mrs. Palen has made a difference, I've made a difference...what have you done???

If you were smart enough to do your homework before saying things that are incorrect you would know her family takes care of them.

Just curious - why wasn't Obama and Biden criticized for parading their children and grandchildren all over the place - their kids were up late at night - in noise filled stadiums etc. but not one word was siad about them...odd.

I wish that the people who are criticizing Sarah Palin for everything they can think of, would "get a life". Sarah Palin is one of the most refreshing, honest, real person we have had in politics. Start focusing on all the politicians who haven't paid their taxes, and are so dishonest with the public.!!!!! Why don't we , as a society, support a woman like Sarah Palin who defines the modern woman in all ways----- serving her country as the Gov. of Alaska, and having a family that she is proud of and wants the country to see. I am so annoyed at people like Ashley Judd, part of the Hollywood liberals, who finds fault with anything that is the least bit conservative in nature. The wolf killing was done for good reasons, not just to kill wolves for the sake of killing. What is wrong with her???? Maybe, she needs more publicity. Who knows??????? Let Sarah Palin alone and beware, because, I feel, she is coming back and will be stronger and better than ever. Hurrah.!!!!!

Maybe so...but let's face NO matter what Sarah Palin does..there's always a comment about it????? Besides it was a special night....why shouldn't the whole family be there to share in it?

The idiot that said her children should have been in bed, obviously doesn't have a family. This was a big night and Mrs. Palin wanted and should have her family with her and her husband. When you have children you want them with you as much as you can. And as another person wrote, the other guy had his children on stage. Sarah Palin is an intelligent woman and seems to be a good mother. People made so much out of her daughter being a pregnant teenager, that is happening every day in every state in the U.S. What should she have done, hide the child? I applaude her for standing up for her daughter and grandchild to be. All I can say is that I hope she runs again, for President next time. Obama being President is wrong, he is not qualified and some people are already opening their eyes and ears to that.
