In McCain’s Arizona, this guy would be in jail for rape.

Excuse me, you were saying?

Possibly, I only have the facts that the MSM has put out. Following your reasoning. Bill Clinton should also have gone to jail. A few times.....

I would rather be ruled by people represented by the first 100 names in the Boston phone book than by the faculty of Harvard. .....William F. Buckley

Only the MSM huh?
That’s too bad.
Why don’t you get one of those new machines for the internets .

Yeah, I heard Clinton killed 528 people just yesterday. Why won’t the MSM cover that?

Excuse me, you were saying?

huuuuhh.....I used one of those square boxy thinks and checked the internet for legal age of consent in Alaska. That would be 16. Seems all those qualified College educated MSM types never bothered to check..............bwah..ha..ha..ha..

Let’s limit this boy’s critics to those who are without sin; to those who have never made an error; to those who never made a mistake; to those who remained a virgin until marriage; to those whose ability to judge others is beyond reproach.

If anyone here fits that description, go ahead.

Why should the 108 be the only one who can criticize him?

Excuse me, you were saying?

Isn’t this what the Republican Party has preached for the last 38 years?  Isn’t this what Family Values means?  Or was Family Values always just a slogan?

Let me get this straight, two 17 year old kids decided to get married before they found out Bristol was pregnant and the parents had no problem with it.  Where is the guidance that parents are supposed to lend to kids?

I wonder if the NRA will provide the shotguns.

Let’s limit this boy’s critics to those who are without sin;

I hate to say this but, those who will defend him are those who are just like him.

Combating Republican dirty tricks since 2002!

He probably resembles many of us when we were 17.

Without an honest exchange of ideas, how can a mind grow?

This should not even be an issue.  Sh@t happens.  They are kids.  Sarah has money so they could raise the child.  I am not sure about the marriage decision though.  That strikes me as rather rushed decision.

Thats just me though.

I was a late bloomer myself.  I only cared about surfing when I was young, and women weren’t something that I saw as sexual creatures until I was 21.

We are in complete agreement!

These are just kids testing the waters.

Actually, RCB is well, again, reality challenged.  Here’s part of the Arizona law that makes it clear that lawmakers did not believe that high school sweethearts letting “nature take its course” is a crime:

http://www.ageofconsent.com/arizona.htm

F. It is a defense to prosecution pursuant to section 13-1405 if the victim is of the age of fifteen, sixteen or seventeen, the defendant is less than nineteen years of age or attending high school and is no more than twenty-four months older than the victim and the conduct is consensual.

And I’m with RichNJ on this; hopefully some hockey-ignorant reporter makes some comments on this one and comes out looking like a goalie who didn’t wear his mask.  I also hope that the couple has (despite an inauspicious beginning) a long and happy life together.

You just might be right bubba.

Here is a more complete cut and paste section from your link though, where some one somewhere seems to have a slightly different understanding.

Age of Consent:

Found an interesting bit of Arizona Revised Statutes [http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ars/] that seems to indicate that if the minor is between the age of 15 and the contact was consenual with someone who was 19 or under but not older than 24 months it is not a crime to have sexual contact.

[EDITOR:  We don’t agree with your synopsis.  There is an important sentence in this paragraph ... “It is a defense to prosecution ... “—which indicates to us that it is still PROSECUTABLE.]

Title 13-1407 Paragraph F

F. It is a defense to prosecution pursuant to section 13-1405 if the victim is of the age of fifteen, sixteen or seventeen, the defendant is less than nineteen years of age or attending high school and is no more than twenty-four months older than the victim and the conduct is consensual.

13-1405 . Sexual conduct with a minor; classifications

A. A person commits sexual conduct with a minor by intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact with any person who is under eighteen years of age.

But this happened in Alaska.
So it really doesn’t matter if it’s rape in another state or not. I just thought it was interesting.

I wish the mother to be and her fiancé well.
