and another thing-

Palin pimped herself to the special needs segment of our society.

She declared “she would be there…” Why now? Because it serves her needs?

She sure as heck didn’t care about them when she cut funding 60% to the exact same group (in AK)!!!!

Its THIS TYPE OF DOUBLESPEAK that will doom her and the Repub ticket. Its another example of pandering. Its so typical of the Republicans, and its a signal that Washington will be the “same old same old” whether its in a skirt or slacks.

She’s an opportunist and she will NOT be able to talk her way out of this one.

What is wrong with a State wanting to secede?
-
The federal government has broken the covenant with the States; yet the federal government demands fealty from the States.
-
The federal government forcibly extracts money from the Citizens of the several States; then gets around the ‘States-rights’ issue by ‘giving back’ some of that money — only if the State dances to the federal tune.
-
I’m all for the right of a State to secede if those Citizens honestly believe the federal government has violated the Constitutional covenant.
-
Of course, our wonderful federal government would use its ’standing army’ to inflict violence on said State.
-
Sooo, it comes to this: Was joining the Union a one-way deal? No ‘divorce’ possible?
-
Where in our federal Constitution does it say that?

While I agree that attention on the teenage daughter is wrong, the social/moral aspects aren’t. Even more, as the governor cut financial support for women’s support groups in AK, theres a problem. Not all women have family (nearby), and then there’s the issue of rape and abuse.
On this topic, Im bothered that she is ‘forcing’ her daughter to marry the sperm-donor. Is this to ’seal the deal’ or what? Hes only 17, still in HS. The daughter, from what I read, did NOT want to get married. The ground for an abusive marriage?

TA, no, but in a way you helped make my point. The same people who normally would want to sympathize and make excuses suddenly turn the tables and say their family is a train-wreck. You kind of have to laugh at the hypocrisy of it all. The response from the left has suddenly been this righteous indignation. It’s just a flip-flop. Oh, and I didn’t consult the census stats before I took my trip, you can have that one, haha.

I want to know where all the Clintonistas are who whined “just leave Chelsea alone!” a few months ago. They all seem strangely quiet now.

To Wilson: “Is it true that Dick Cheney offered to carry the shotgun at the wedding?” No I think they have already asked Bobby Knight! ;)

By the way. That young girl might finally be okay again after this in her 40’s. Ask any shrink. Her brain is not fully developed to handle this sudden nuclear attack on her personal life being discussed by strangers on all media all the time.
.
It is grave what they do to her and she needs to be in our Country’s prayers.

The media, no doubt, is traumatizing that girl on a national stage.
.
It is SHAMEFUL.
.
It is IMMORAL.
.
It is WITHOUT HEART.
.
And it will serve to wake up America to the true nature of her media machine, for every family has or knows a teenage mother.

How dare they tread there.

Democrats are HYPOCRITES! Governor Palin has a loving husband and his five children. No divorce of record, a working mother. Women should have equal pay for equal work, states Sen. Hillary Clinton at the Democrats Convention. Hillary didn’t sit at home to raise Chelsea while Bill was campaigning. In less than one week, the democrats are saying Governor Palin should stay home with her baby and her daughter. Give me a break! You have single and divorced women across this country working 2 and 3 jobs supporting their families and worrying about adequate childcare while they work. This lady has juggled a successful political career and raised a family in her 44 years. She has more than a 90% approval rating from average citizens in her state regardless of the size. Teenagers today are exposed to more sex and violence today than my generation through Hollywood and television. Stay at home moms are hooked on daytime soap operas. The soaps and cable TV has more acts of sex revealed in its contents and it is accepted.

Irregardless, the values you teach and preach to your children today our young people are influenced by what they see daily. I would guess the pro-abortion group of women would prefer to have their daughters abort pregnancies rather than to give birth. Afterwards, their daughters develop deep emotional and mental scares from the abortion and some have had several, they become candidates for illegal drug use to ease the pain or suicidal. Some young women have had to have hysterectomies at an early age from botched abortions leaving them childless. This is what Democrats want for their daughters. For any women to conceive a baby is a gift from God at any age. Mother Nature controls that miracle biologically. No one is condoning teenage pregnancy, but realistically, teenagers are having sex earlier in all economic classes today. Whether or not she conceives, only the woman knows for sure. How many girls have marched down the aisle in marriage appearing to be virgins and it is a lie to their future husbands because they are childless. Men don’t know unless she tells him the truth. These dark secrets have broken up numerous marriages when exposed. Think about it!
