Bristol Palin is Getting Married
Two Cents - Your Two Cents!
Bristol Palin broke the news to US Magazine that she and Levi Johnston, the father of her 18-month-old child, will be walking down the aisle in the near future. However, the most interesting part of this story is that at the time of publication, Bristol had not yet broken the news to her parents, Todd and Sarah Palin. Bristol and Levi, 20 -- who famously called off their previous engagement two weeks after welcoming son Tripp in December 2008 said they reconnected three months ago while working out a custody plan for their 18-month-old son.

Now comes the hard part: Getting the blessing of Sarah Palin, who has made no secret of her feelings for Levi. He provoked her fury last fall when he claimed that she had called her infant son Trig (who has Down syndrome) "retarded." She fired back, telling reporters that anyone who posed for Playgirl would "say and do anything for even more attention." Later, during an interview with Oprah Winfrey she dubbed him "Ricky Hollywood" and called his "aspiring porn" career "heartbreaking." Says Bristol, "It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board."

The Palins released this statement on The Today Show Wednesday morning: "Bristol at 19 is now a young adult. We obviously want what's best for our children. Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives."

Question: What do you think about Bristol and Levi's nuptial announcement and the fact that her parents were not told before the story broke in Us Magazine?

Ah - come on. Who cares?
It's likely a story similar to others happening 100 times around the country daily.
This is somehow important because it is Sarah's daughter?
Who cares!

Looks like Bristol has about as much political common sense as her mother

My opinion of Sarah Palin is so low that I feel sorry for her daughter, her husband, her family and anyone stupid enough to think Palin is the real deal. God help the uninformed voters in this country that vote according to looks and vapid statements made by power hungry people running for office. Where are the real statesmen and women? Oh that's right the corrupt media lies on them and the corrupt electorate makes sure they can't get anything accomplished for the American people when they do rarely get elected

I think they are dysfunctional just like the rest of us. Not every mother loves her daughter's husband or BF and its a moot issue.

Who cares? They're both media/fame whores trying to extend their 15 minutes in the spotlight. Can't imagine how much more money they are going to try to wring out of that child, whose welfare should be their concern. Note to Bristol, Levi, Sarah et al Palin: please go away and live your lives in private.

Sarah Palin and her husband will just have to accept their new son-in-law just as every otehr family has in the past and will have to in the future. Personally, I think Bristol and Levi make a nice couple and are thinking of their son Trip which is a nice change of pace from some couples who don't try to do what is right for their children. I really hope it works for them.
Congrats to the Palins

Bristol and Levi made the right decision to get married, they will be alroght. Sarah has and will forgive...all of us have said things we regret...they have all endured intense public scrutiny, criticism, and judgment, and have prevailed smilies/smiley.gifsmilies/smiley.gifsmilies/smiley.gif

Seriously? The European economy is teetering on the brink, we're still outsourcing jobs and our economy is tanking, the entire Gulf ecosystem is being destroyed, and people actually care about this little tramp and her disgusting boyfriend?

No wonder things are in such a state. People: Try to focus on what's important!

Good luck with that. These young people don't have a clue what marriage is. Bristol probably doesn't want to mirror her parents marriage and Levi hasn't a clue to the whole concept of marriage. They both are in need of spiritual guidance, as well as the concept of sacrifice, trust and what they will pledge in the sight of God. Actually they need a divine intervention, not a Sarah Palin intervention. Bristol perhaps shouls wait on this, or she'll find herself a divorced single mother, rather than just a single mother. You don't have to keep making mistakes.
Sad
written by Marty, July 14, 2010
I think its sad that Bristol could not disclose this news to her parents privately and had to resort to a magazine article. If she were my daughter, I would be doing some serious soul searching right about now.

It sounds as if all thoes makeing comments are by the same ones that gets a tingle feeling running up their a** when BHO speaks. I guess when you afraid of the compentation all you want to do is tear it down. I too wasn't fond of my sons first wife I agree so what? unless your into Jerry Jerry or weekday soaps.
SO WHAT?

People, people, people...GET IT TOGETHER, AND PUT YOUR FOCUS ON SOMETHING THAT BRINGS ABOUT CHANGES IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY! Don't waste your energy on this kind of stuff, since it only takes away from the real issues confronting the U.S. and the world, i.e., wars, hunger, racism, high-level greed, obesity in our children, our unwillingness to aid our fellow man, etc.! I could go on and on - but who's listening...LET'S STAY FOCUSED ON THE REAL ISSUES FACING SOCIETY TODAY! YES WE CAN!
NO one cares!

Please focus on issues that matter - don't send this nonsense to my mail box! If this is all there is to talk about you might as well shut down this website - really.

Hard to believe. Given that much of media has less than stellar credibility, I have to ask, did they really tell a magazine before talking to family?

I'm with the rest of the people here who asked the question "Who cares?". This is between Bristol and her Baby Daddy. I'm not a Palin fan and don't know why the woman was ever considered "news" but this is just a waste of time and energy. It's NOT news! Let the kids live their lives.

Like it or not celeb kids often do crazy things. I think they deserve each other. The continued attack on mom, though is not justified. The hatred against Sarah Palin is ridiculous. Almost as disingenuous as the NAACP attacking the Tea Party when their left wing friends openly recruited people to make offensive signs and go infiltrate and while not disavowing, Louis Farrakkhan, Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson and company who have been more racist than even the left wing infiltrators at the Tea Parties. Racism is a problem, but he vitriol out of the black community now is proof they lost the moral high ground quite some time ago.
COME ON !!!!

I think it's great that the baby is going to have a full-time father and mother. Evidently, they love each other, so they are doing the right thing. They'll work out the rest with Sarah and Todd.
Think about it...

Levi needs money, hence the wedding. He has to do something, and, living off of his wife and in-laws seems like a reasonable plan!! smilies/cheesy.gif Why didn't they tell Sarah? Because she would NOT have let that happen!! Face it people. She is a first rate manipulator, and it must really tick her off to know that she has been outdone by her own daughter and especially Levi!!
I forgot to add...

The only way these young people will make it is if they get as far away from the MANIPULATOR as possible. And, I agree; WHO CARES?????

Donnetta The real statesman and woman have disappeared because they certainly aren't Obama, Pelosi, Frank and Reid. Sarah has at least tried to make an impact on the country and certainly knows a little more than O'bama about running things. She may not be the answer but she is someone who understands what real American life is about and would put forth policies that help the people instead of Goldman Sachs, the banks and all the other freeloaders that got stimulus money. O'bama doesn't realize that the government jobs he is creating to look good only create more debt for the American people in rediculious retirement benefits and government pensions. The health care system robs us of future dollars and his failure to secure our borders and fight the people that are doing it is ludichrist. We need to put our lawmakers out of office, make a law that any bill voted on should be no more than 5 pages so everyone can read and understand it and make our lawmakers accountable for their decisions the same as the CEOs of Emron and Tyco. Also they should not be allowed to hold office if they have a criminal record, owe taxes or have refused to pay their taxes. This would eliminate a good portion of our current Senators and Congressmen. Also 2 term limits would give us a better government.
Bristol and Todd - not something for me to judge.
written by Jake, July 15, 2010
This is not really an important issue to me. I have certainly made mistakes in my life. However, I do get a kick out of some of the comments made here referring to Sarah Palin as being a "MANIPULATOR" among other things. You are the ones that can hang out with the Black Panthers, the NAACP, Farrakkan and much of the far left liberal trash. I will feel more comfortable aligning myself with the Tea Party movement - we the people- something of value.
Thank's to Dave

Thanks to Dave for saving me time giving Donnetta the same thoughts he wrote, I would just add, Get a life
Congratulations !!!

Our Best Wishes go out to Bristol and Levi. Their decision on how to tell others about getting married in a few weeks... is a choice they have the right to make. Tripp is a very lucky boy. Everyone should just back off and let this young couple get on with their lives. Congratulations, and may God Bless your Family.

Wow! I can't believe how ugly people are inside to say such nasty things about Bristol and the Palins. Do you ever look at yourselves and wonder, how did I become such a hateful and ugly person? Your comments are so telling of yourselves. Think about that. What is the condition of your heart and soul? God judges what we say as well as what we do. You may not put your name with your comments, but GOD KNOWS ALL. Shame on those of you who take any chance you can, to trash someone.
