Are Republicans mad that Palin's dirty laundry has been exposed why compare her to Obama?

Question

What's the point comparing her daughter to Barack's mother, his mother wasn't running for VP, no was she a minor, Ann Dunham was 18 years old and in college when she had Barack Obama, not to mention she was already married, so boom-different story completely.

Answer 1

I didn't realize that a pregnant 17 year old could determine an election... oh wait IT DOESN"T!

Answer 2

There will be more dirty laundry to be exposed.  This woman is a virtual unknown, and more will come out about her in the months to come.  That is why this was such a bad pick for McCain.

Answer 3

Yes, certainly

Answer 4

No we're not.

And Sarah Palin's daughter is not running for VP either. By logic, Baracks Mom was 17 when she got pregnant if she had Barack at 18.  

Answer 5

This situation does not alter the fact that McCain had a choice and made a poor one,what happens when he has to make another important choice,can we trust him to make the right one? he should have picked someone with experience,we have a few ladies with more skill in our party,Hutchinson comes to mind,Im not voting this year,I cannot believe the desperation McCain must have felt,but ,He just didn't think,how can you trust someone who doesn't think or reason things out!

Answer 6

Palins daughter is not running for VP either. Obama has tons of unscrupulous ties that he needs to answer for. Rezco, Wright, Ayers, and Obdiga. The list goes on and on...

Answer 7

" when she had Obama"

She was 17 when she got pregnant.  Look at their ages and do the math.

What I find interesting is just days ago you were the same people saying attacking a candidates family showed desperation.

Answer 8

For me, its the free pass that the Obamessiah gets on similar family or character issues.

So Palin has a rebellious horny teenager...OH MY GOD!!  Tar and feathers!

Answer 9

Obama's mother also abandoned him. Palin's family won't do that.

Answer 10

It was also a very different time when being 18 was not really a big deal. Being a female in colledge was unusual beck then. In 2008 to have a child that young out of wedlock shows a person lacking in many ways. This women is a role model just as Michele & Jill & Hillary are role models. Obama's mother was not a model for us. I don't think abortion or birth control were available 47 years ago so comparing the 2 is insane.

Answer 11

I love Sarah Palin for taking the 'high road' in all this. She could have easily bowed out or had her daughter get an abortion.

Answer 12

What was the point in liberal lunatics swearing that Palins youngest child was not hers???? it was you liberals who asked for this! if you can't take it--then don't dish it out! see what happens when you believe c**p for a biased site like DailyKos? I hope you liberals who reveled in the rumor feel lower than the dirt ! You deserve every bit of scrutiny you are getting. If you people would THINK before you open your mouths, the world would be a much more pleasant place.

Answer 13

It's an attempt at deflection.

Answer 14

The Republicans are desperate and will do anything to make the Democratic candidate look bad.  Don't forget, the Republicans were happy to spend 60 million dollars to investigate the Lewinsky-Clinton affair.

Answer 15

this is a non-issue, move on

Answer 16

Her daughter's life is pretty irrelevant to the election.
