Couple that with the fact that the daughter was out of school for "mono" during that period? Come on. This IS important. We already know that Palin is a liar (Earmarks and Bridge to Nowhere). If she lied about this, too, how could we ever trust her? SHE'S the one that parades her family around like their props, so she's the one who put them in play -- not the media.Susie Q Publichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157109301278485362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11032459.post-42257355136614749622008-09-03T20:24:00.000-05:002008-09-03T20:24:00.000-05:00It amazes me how little Leftists understand about ...It amazes me how little Leftists understand about conservatives.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149784619342993569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11032459.post-79102839236610007872008-09-03T12:15:00.000-05:002008-09-03T12:15:00.000-05:00Bristol Palin's pregnancy is relative to this disc...Bristol Palin's pregnancy is relative to this discussion because Sarah Palin is running a household, as well as the state of Alaska. And in her household, her 17-year old daughter, while she was out of school with infectious mononucleosis for eight months, was sleeping with someone. And her mother seems to condone it. The level of irresponsibility that that reflects, regarding the safety of others, not to mention common sense, is enormous. I wouldn't want this woman running the local YMCA, let alone the country.For Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943783692319325506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11032459.post-42620955898600799272008-09-03T07:18:00.000-05:002008-09-03T07:18:00.000-05:00It is not that I care that Palin has a daughter wh...It is not that I care that Palin has a daughter who is pregnant. Their family business is exactly that: their's. My concerns are related to the entire shebang, though.<BR/><BR/>First, the Republican Party is supposed to be the Party of family and values. Yet, during Clinton's infamous scandal, they chose to impeach him over lying about a blow job.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, they decry teen mothers as an affront to family values--but when one of their own gets pregnant, they finally see that it is not as clear cut as heathen or heavenly.<BR/><BR/>Third, clearly abstinence only doesn't work if, say, you don't abstain. Had these children had easy access to condoms, though, this may not be as much of a problem. In fact, if her mother had said "I prefer that you abstain, but if you don't, use a rubber," this may not even be an issue.<BR/><BR/>Many of my friends tried to go the abstinence only route. I grew up in a very conservative, very Christian area. Guess what, the ones who tried to go abstinence only ended up having more pregnancy scares than the rest. Why? Because, even though NJ is progressive enough to talk about condoms and BC, their parents made it seem like worse than murder to even consider any other route.<BR/><BR/>So, you're right, Palin's daughter should not be scandalized for being human. However, I think the Right should be a little bit more compassionate to those of us "Liberal Trash" who *also* aren't perfect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11032459.post-56208136006925163082008-09-02T13:43:00.000-05:002008-09-02T13:43:00.000-05:00Who cares that Bristol is pregnant!?

How on earth is she even remotely qualified for being Vice President? She has a bachelor's degree in Journalism with a MINOR in political studies. Does anyone understand just how little education she has on her side? If you take 6 classes in the same subject category you can minor in it. <BR/><BR/>My fear is that Palin is a throw away for the VP candidate. McCain wants someone to show off as a pretty face who looks like a wonderful PTA mom, but really she won't have much to offer in the white house. It seems to me McCain found a woman who will stand by her man... er, President.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11032459.post-25795750044880595132008-09-02T12:36:00.000-05:002008-09-02T12:36:00.000-05:00Cue "Twilight Zone" theme.Cue "Twilight Zone" theme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11032459.post-61917975766226992342008-09-02T11:15:00.000-05:002008-09-02T11:15:00.000-05:00Water Breakgate - Latest Update - New Issues for M...Water Breakgate - Latest Update - New Issues for McCain<BR/><BR/>http://www.politicalbase.com/profile/jnail/blog/John Nailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956101563975326891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11032459.post-74635012294302315742008-09-02T11:14:00.000-05:002008-09-02T11:14:00.000-05:00Water Breakgate - Latest Update - New Issues for M...Water Breakgate - Latest Update - New Issues for McCain<BR/><BR/>http://www.politicalbase.com/profile/jnail/blog/John Nailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956101563975326891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11032459.post-31354281439514627622008-09-02T10:30:00.000-05:002008-09-02T10:30:00.000-05:00Good grief.
