This discusses a comparison the GOP has done in their description of Vice Presidential elect Sarah Palin’s unwed pregnant teenage daughter versus other minorities.

Lately, the GOP has tried hard to downplay the fact that Governor Palin’s daughter is a pregnant, unwed teen mother. I meant, if she were of African-American descent, than the father would be the “baby daddy”. Where’s the scrutiny here? Since her mom is a governor and vice presidential elect, he’s what all others should be, the child’s father or her boyfriend. Face it, Palin’s daughter is not marrying this guy.

It’s just a jaded effort to pull all the skeletons out of the closet instead of leaving them in. The more the American people know, than they will not hold against you. We all know this political move. I will say that irreggardless of their race, it is important for her family to support her. I feel she is being brave to have this child and not having an abortion. But think, what about all the tens and thousands of African American teenagers who made a choice to keep their babies. They had families whom gave them the best support they could. The only difference is financial resources and they are not the governor’s daughter. So I say to the Republican elite, even your daughters can make the mistake of becoming an unwed teen mother.
