It's unclear if any of this is related to Levi Johnston's mother's arrest on drug charges, but what's done is done: Bristol Palin and fiance Levin Johnston are splitsville.

All signs, and statements by the couple, pointed to a wedding. After all, Bristol Palin was pregnant with Levi Johnston's baby. But the fact that the two were not married prior to the baby's birth was a definite red flag.

A source told People:


"It kind of just happened. I thought they would stick it out. But I think they can work together to raise Tripp."
If I can be somewhat snarky, I could say: what about family values? Based on that shouldn't they be together, for the sake of Tripp? End of snarkiness.

Interestingly, though this didn't become public until today, according to another source, this breakup is common knowledge around Wasilla.

i heard about it on the radio yesterday our the day before.

i just feel sorry for the kid.(hes going to want to change his name) thats one name i wouldnt name my kid.

I think all unwed parents who break up should be disembowled and the child be turned over to the liberals to raise. Or, there should be a law requiring them to marry, particularly if they are republicans. Personally, being a liberal dem, I prefer the former. That way we could cure the conservative problem. Don't you other liberals agree?

















j/k of course.

I just think its funny because Sarah Palin the VP candidate ran on an abstinance only and "traditional family values" platform.

yeah, it is funny

And those are Gov Palins beliefs. Maybe her daughter doesnt have the same beliefs. No body is perfect. And you cant keep an eye on your kids 24 hours a day.

It kills me you blame this in Gov Palin. Would you be willing to go into the getho and say that about the families there, where the majority of the cildren have pnly one parent? Or is it ok for them but not Gov Palins family?

yeah, that family has some stupid names

I thought Gov Palin was for family values?

I think it's kinda sad to take so much delight in gloating over someone's problems and misfortunes

Isnt that what the "family values" people do?

NO....they don't

maybe some

but then I don't like it when anyone has to be hateful and spiteful

Why do you assume she didnt teach these values to her children? We are our own person and we all do things and yes things our parents tought us and things our parents didnt teach us. And I'm sure some of us went against what our parents tried to teach us was right.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

as parents all we can do is try to teach our children how to be good adults. when they becoming adults.....they make their own choices. sometimes the parents agree-sometimes not. i'm 37 and my mom doesn't agree with everything i say or do. what is she going to do about it though????? ground me?

37? I thought you were............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ much younger than that

just because i act that way????? lol kidding

my son used to tell me (when he was little) that he was going to tell grandmother on me about something i made him do lol. what is she going to do? ground me in my own house? take away MY car? lol

even my mom thought it was funny. but my son is 18 now and all i can do is hope i taught him what he needs to be a good man. of course i will always be there to help him....even if that means he has to learn himself.

my mother taught me lots of things...that went right out the window when i had my own place (sixteen). she's an awesome mother; my brother and sister turned out just perfect, lol...

seriously, though, what about personal choice? bristol made the choice to get engaged, just as she made the choice to break it off. at that age, her mother can't control her every action...and would we really want her to? i mean, what would it DO to this baby (i like the name, by the way) to be raised in a house by two people who had a puberty-induced fling for his formative years?

i'm thinking they did the right thing. i'm also thinking it shouldn't be news.

Well for the record if I were a republican and voted such for the the anti abortion reasone I would be furiouse with the republicans. I suspect it is their bread and butter wedge issue, after all with 8 years of republican dominance in all branches of government Roe vs Wade is still on the books. How else can you explain this except that is they only wish to make it illegal durring campaign seasone and then "poof" the issue is gone never to be mentioned again.
