I love this story. Surely even the dim bulbs in LA will recognize Mr. Family Values as a pompous fraud. And you got to dig his jubilant language celebrating his grandfather future. He really knows how to sling it!

“Our daughter now faces a more challenging future than her peers.”

In Louisiana?? Most of her peers will have the same future.

Yup! Opposed to the contraception mandate of ACA? Check! Voted to defund Planned Parenthood? Check! Christian, ie. “Real American”? Check! Opposes sex education, says it should be parents’ responsibility? Check! Opposes many forms of birth control? Check! Karma? Check! Check! Check!

The Louisiana conservs (almost redundant but not quite) love a good sin-cum-repentance to salivate over. This will win over those who just didn’t like him personally.

How’s that Abstinence-Only sex education working out for you Cassidy?

Miserable. Fucking. Hypocrites.

This guy is many things, but “hypocrite” really isn’t one of them. He believes even his own daughter shouldn’t enjoy “recreational sex” without paying the wage of sin. It’s the abortion-for-me-but-not-for-thee types who are hypocrites.

Jeesh. You can sling it pretty good yourself. Why assume his jubilance is a fraud?

Stop it! The kid didn’t have a choice in choosing the father she got.

Have a little respect for the girl.

Like Bristol Palin, young Cassidy will have all the financial support she needs. Her parents will make sure she’s got a round the clock babysitter and all expenses for the baby paid.

Actually, other than being a GOPer, he’s a pretty stand up guy. An M.D. married to another one. He’s done a lot of volunteer work, and set up free health care for the needy even before Katrina. OH, did I mention he was a Democrat until ten years or so ago?

Congratulations and best wishes to the young mother to be and to the Senate candidate. I wish their family happiness.

Some random conservative thoughts in no particular order for Billy Cassidy to consider. The great conservative Republican candidate Prick Santorum recently said on CSPAN that every study has proven that marriage ends income inequality. Separately, during the last campaign Prick Santorum has also said that college is is for snobs and not a good idea for religulous conservatives. Prick Santorum also spoke about the dangers of contraception.

Best wishes on grandfatherhood Bill Cassidy. I hope you get to spend more time with your grand baby in 2015.

Guess the candidate failed at teaching those ‘family values’ the GOP is so fond of preaching about.

Why is this even a story? It’s a 17 year old girl not the candidate. She isn’t the first young girl to get pregnant- cons or liberal and she won’t be the last sadly. Her fathers views didn’t do her any favors but at least he is standing by her. Whoever called the poor girl a slut should be ashamed - you are as bad as those who think women who do use birth control are sluts. Just shows mysoginy knows no party

Well “stuff” happens.
Put a good face on it Cassidy, if you can.
“a challenging future”? Youbet’cha.
I bet when his daughter broke the news he went ballistic.
