"If Family Values are one of their huge selling platforms, you'd think they wouldn't pick a candidate with an unwed pregnant teenage daughter. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. Heck, I coulda been pregnant at 17. But I'm not using my great virtue of promoting abstinence to get elected to national office, either."
Ever do the math on her own wedding date v. first child's birth date? this turn-about "do as i say, not as i do" is nothing new to her. i don't doubt that she values her family, but please don't tell OTHER people what makes a family (gay marriage) and don't limit how they may try to avoid making one (restricting sex education) if you can't stand as an example of your own principals.
But then I'm embroidering a pillow with "Life Happens" on one side and "Typical American Family" on the other since these seem to be the appropriate excuses.
"For (what was it? 9 months?) Obama wouldn't even sit for an interview on Fox News!! But you think he can sit across from someone like Putin or Ahmadinejad?" Obama was stupid for ever sitting with Fox 'News'. Yes. When he sits across from Putin or any other world leader, they'll know their adversary is just as smart as they are - someone who looks at evidence, has the intelligence to analyze in relation to other facts, the intellectual integrity to wade through the masses of conflicting information, and the courage and tenacity to make a decision and stick with it. And he still shouldn't give propagandizing pseudo-reporters like O'Reilly or Hannity the time of day.
you have heard of probabilities, right? like when the experts talk about life expectancy and they figure your insurance rates? they are betting on the fact you won't become ill/die and you are betting on the fact you will by a certain age?
by being 72, the probability that McCain will die from illness in the next 8 years is much higher than Obama's probability of death from illness. just a guess, not a certainty. when you add skin cancer treatment, the chances go up.
not that i'm looking forward to either outcome. just a statistic.
And the only interviews Palin is doing are scripted. I am sure that will go over well with Iraq, Iran, Russia, and Korea. Before you try to pick the mote out of Obama's eye you may want to pick the beam out of Palins eye.
McCain has had cancer a few times, so I'd be concerned he could get it again. Once you get it, you usually get it again. you can have matastisies in your body and not be aware of it. My cousin has had breast cancer twice, now she is having problems with her kidney.
Choosing Plain was an insult to all American women. Here are a few of Palin's views:
She is against abortion even in the case of rape or incest. Be honest, if your daughter, mother, sister was raped or the victim of incest, would you say "sorry, you have to carry the child?" No!
She is in favor of teaching creationsim in public schools--whatever happened to separation of church and state. Or are we going to teach all creation myths, the Native American ones, the Buddhist ones etc...
Palin has reinstated hunting wolves from the air after 20 years of such hunting being illegal. Alaskan hunters (like Palin)

Hi Zoe,
I wouldn't say I was outraged.
