After reading all these posts, I decided to post as well. I think that Beverly and Martha summed up with what I wanted to say.

For those who continue to attack, harass, exhibit jealous hissy fits or who fail to grasp the concept that women can be Independent or Republican (and that does include Latinos, Asians etc….for some reason fellow minorities will want to put you in the "Dem Party box for life category")…all I have to say is look at your own plate, look at your own life and take responsibility for yourself.

If you all were truly happy with yourself why would you conduct yourself to this level exhibited by this thread? Why would you as Beverly Raymond stated "kill off your own?"

If this thread exhibits being a "liberal" then baby I don’t need the hate or anger.

I’ll be with those who want the love, undertstanding and accept the individual. That’s a true independent. God Bless America ladies.

Donna this is a site where no one knows me therefore I was venting so don’t judge.  You have no idea what my son in law has done so I pray to god that my Grandchildren have our 50%.  As for education I have a masters degree therefore I know enough not to put my Grandchildren in harms way.  You insult me with your judgement without real facts.  Again it’s a true opinion of mine and since you don’t know me mind your business.

Excuse me, but Palin did a perfectly lousy job "protecting" her daughter dragging her into the convention spotlight at the onset.  We wouldn’t know Johnston at all had not Palin dragged him in front of the TV cameras, posing as the all American family.  All his tattling is divine retribution in my opinion. 

I say AMEN to Dona and Janna S.  The attempt to paint the Palin family —at the Republican Convention in 2008 — as a tad flawed, but still "wholesome" and "exemplary", was the height of hypocrisy.  I, for one, am glad that young Levi is telling it like "HE" sees it.  Why shouldn’t he?  As someone else has already said, he has been used and abused and then rejected and spit out as a "prop" in the play of the Almost-Perfect Palin Family and the GOP.

I am not at all surprised by what he is revealing.  As a mother and an attorney, my first reaction to the "story" of Sarah Palin was, "If she has 5 kids and is really working as the Governor of Alaska", then she is not doing one or both of those jobs very well.  I figured that Bristol got pregnant so that she could be responsible for only one child, and not the rest of her mother’s children.  Marisa L.

Levi has NO reason to lie and…I would think that Vanity Fair would know whether they were being conned, n’est par?! It’s obvious to me that Bristol’s social/morals (religious) aren’t her mother’s, else, why would Bristol be having a sexual relationship when she and Levi were a couple. It’s called hormones. Sarah and Todd could have made their daughter wear one of those virgin-until-marriage-rings, Promise rings they’re called in the Southern states and other equally religiously moral states. Yes, Levi got her pregnant and maybe neither was using birth control. Again, I guess Mama Palin didn’t tell Bristol about sex and to wait until marriage.  She did get pregnant, end of.  :)

Had Sarah adopted Bristol’s son, that would have made Tripp/Trigg her legal brother as well as her son.  That’s an interesting family dynamic.

It could be that Sarah and Todd DON’T want their former SIL-to-be, to see his child because Sarah and/or Bristol don’t want him to be a part of their lives.

Does Levi having been interviewed for and by VANITY FAIR, mean that Levi’s agent INSISTED he go and do the interview??

As for Levi "going out on the town" with Kathy Griffin…I listened to some of that and also heard Levi’s response to some of Kathy’s questions.  He didn’t seem that disappointed to be seen with her.

Same with his interview on LKL….if he was approached and said yes, well, we know he was on.  I’m sure he could have turned it down…had he wanted to, unless of course, he answers to his agent’s advice.

Their break-up…I believe that that was an either/or situation where Bristol decided she didn’t want to be married or….it was because of Mama Palin’s Srs. influence.  I guess Sarah Palin’s "family values" (religious morals) didn’t quite convince Bristol not to get involved with her boyfriend. Plus, what about Sarah’s public persona? I’m not blaming Bristol here.  She’s a sexual human being, she had a boyfriend and…she got pregnant.  Mother Palin….deal with it, even though you’re a devout christian and a Rep. you’re oldest daughter getting pregnant…that doesn’t and wouldn’t sit well with those whose votes you were out there stumping for.  It’s inconvenient for you that your daughter got pegnant so when the family is out there for all the world to see, Bristol is holding her baby brother in such a way so to disguise your growing pregnancy.  I’m sure Bristol’s younger sister would have been equally as capable of holding her brother.  No….Sarah was embarrassed and ashamed…..of her daughter.

I do believe that what Levi said as to why Sarah SUDDENLY dropped out of sight is based on what has been going on BEHIND the scenes…..
