How low will the Anti-Palin rhetoric go? Will they attack her infant potty training techniques next?

Question

thetalltexan: When did she lie? And why do you assume I am Republican? I am just someone who thinks family, esp. minors, should be off limit in politics.

Answer 1

Obama won't attack her at all.  Why should he when he has the media doing the dirty work.  Very clever.  He will win by 58% of the vote.

Answer 2

It's really anti-hypocrisy rhetoric.  How can the Republican Party claim ownership of family values when parents who are too busy with themselves and their own careers not insure that their children conduct themselves responsibly regarding s*x and alcohol?  Gov. Palin came out against s*x-education in public school thinking that abstinence was the only way to go.  We can only hope that everyone lives happily ever after.

Answer 3

I don't like the Republican party but i would never  attack Palin's daughter or any one in her family. Let's just stick to the issue at hand of running OUR country!

Answer 4

she's a muslim so she doesn't wipe her butt with toilet paper

Answer 5

No. Just her personal judgment in family-making decisions.

You know, things like: Why didn't she teach her kid the difference between right and wrong? Why did she allow her daughter to get knocked up? Why didn't Bristol go through s*x-education while she was in school?

Then I remember: Oh. Right. This from a woman whom doesn't BELIEVE in s*x-education, doesn't believe in contraceptives, doesn't believe in exercising personal judgment over her kids, just thinks that abstinence-ONLY intervention will somehow save teen girls like Bristol from getting pregnant at such a young age.

Yep.

Ironically, so did Bush. And his ideas were proven to be such a failure in matters such as this.

Abstinence-ONLY is not an effective means of birth-control or s*x education.

But Republicans don't get that.

Answer 6

Hey- if you are going to be so pro life that you don't support contraceptives or s*x education and stand behind strong family values- you bet your pregnant teenage daughter will be mentioned.  NO one is saying she is a bad mother.  They are saying she isn't qualified to be the number 2 person in the country and she is a liar and a hypocrite.  Why is it ok to say things about a man but not a woman.  

I think you Repubs can dish it but can't take it.  You are finally experiencing what we have had to deal with this whole time.  All the idiot things you all have said about Obama.

Yeah, I heard Palin was unamerican and if you change the L and the A around- you get Plain.  What could that mean?

Answer 7

Only if her stance on infant-potty training is opposite of what she actually does.  

Since I doubt she has a platform for that particular issue.  I doubt it.

Answer 8

Many people here are missing a much larger context. Her daughter’s situation has been described endlessly as a “mistake”. Let us step back and look at history. For most of human history a 17 year old girl giving birth was considered perfectly normal and so long as she got married before the child was born it was not looked down upon. It was also not at all uncommon in the past for the first birth in a marriage to mysteriously have a less than nine-month gestation. Funny how all the other children would have a normal nine-moth gestation though. Our society today does always match our biology. Our bodies think we are upper Paleolithic hunter-gatherers. I do not look down upon this young lady. She and her boyfriend are set to get married and so long as they do I see no “mistake” here. Consensual s*x is a biological act and in biology the only “mistakes” involve death and failing to reproduce. From a biological standpoint her joining a convent and living a life of celibacy would be a much bigger “mistake” than having s*x without a government –issued marriage license. Family, especially minors, should be left outside political debates. It is reprehensible that the personal life of a teenager has been used by some as political fodder.
