Okay can we now all just leave Bristol Palin out of this election and stick to the real issues?

Question

What are some more important issues?

Answer 1

Politics first.  Family second.  Demonstrated by Palin.  Politics is dirty work.

Answer 2

I have never heard anyone attack Obamas children.

And if they did they are wrong.

We all know that Obama will cut the military just like Carter did. We had almost half our training cut because of insufficient funds back then.

Answer 3

Yes, even Obama asked his supporters to leave the family issues out and I agree!! BUT, not the allegations against the firing of her former brother-n-law...they need to investigate that and they will!!  

Obama/Biden 08'

Answer 4

The debate will soon turn to the issues and then it will be over. People just found out today, give them a break.

Answer 5

Like what?  The debate over Obama's birth certificate?

Answer 6

I have yet to hear anyone defend this.  Obama says he will cut investments in missile defense and slow development of future combat systems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl32Y7wDV...

"The State Department last night said one of the persons responsible for the inappropriate behavior was employed by an information technology firm headed by one of Mr. Obamas foreign intelligence advisors."

"The State Department this evening had not yet released the names of the persons responsible for the unauthorized searches but said two were employed by Stanley Inc. and the third was an employee of The Analysis Corp. (TAC). Stanley Inc., a 3,500-person firm, is an Arlington-based information technology firm that this week won a $570 million contract to continue providing passport services to the State Department, which the company has done since 1992, according to Stanley Inc.s Web site. TAC is a McLean-based information firm that has helped the State Department automate the Terrorist Watchlist over the last several years, the companys Web site said. TACs Chief Executive Officer John O. Brennan is a former CIA agent who is an adviser to Mr. Obamas presidential campaign."

Dear !*Summer's Mommy*!, It's from one of Obama's videos he released.

Answer 7

I agree!!!  How about talking about getting our economy out of the toilet!

Answer 8

No, it's too enticing for the Dems.

Answer 9

As much as I agree that the kids should be left out, the issue still calls into question the hypocritical pairing of the mother's evangelical Christian views/beliefs/claims and the current news...

If this woman wants her views/beliefs to over rule but can't even raise her own kids right, she has no place having any say over OUR lives.

Answer 10

No we can't because the pregnancy of her daughter is an issue. Palin is all about a family value but she isn't walking the walk--she can't even keep her loose daughter from fornication. I do believe that s*x minus marriage is a sin. I think I ran across it in the bible.

Answer 11

Bristol Palin made a mistake. I do not hold that against her. There are a lot worse sins .

How ever , what I do take issue with is the fact that I would much rather see our American tax's in part go to other poor woman who do not have the Love and support that Bristol Palin has . I would much rather see this, then using our tax's for war that kills babies and children.

I would rather see a president at least try diplomacy first . No one really wins with war.

So this is one of the many reasons that I support the Obama -Biden team.

Answer 12

Sure.  Does that mean Neocons won't be calling Mrs Obama and her children apes anymore?

Answer 13

Of course.  

But, if this were Obama's grandchild would Hate Radio (Hannity, Limbaugh, Beckkk, et al... or Fox) stick to the issues?

Answer 14

I think the most important question is when do the trailer-trash Palins get to appear on Jerry Springer?

Answer 15

Can we leave Wright, Ayers, and Michelles misspeak out of it? Now the republicans want to talk issues.

Answer 16

OMG FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME!!! READ AND COMPREHEND!!!

It has NOTHING to do with Bristol BUT EVERYTHING to do with Sarah Palin and her beliefs blowing up in her face. UNFORTUNATELY Bristol is being used as evidence so she can't go back on what she said. d**n!!

AHEM YOUR RESPONSE! *I DIDN'T WATCH THE VIDEO THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE I SAW YOUTUBE HAD YOU POSTED WHAT YOU DID NOW I PROBABLY WOULD'VE PAID ATTENTION IT*

ANYWAY

Janny- That's super smart. Do you know that will stop all these countries from believing that we want to start a 3rd World War? Pay attention. He's basically saying that he will negotiate with this countries. He's not disarming us but more like saying "We're not trying to fight you." Like everyone believes we are trying to do. He's refusing to make anymore military space and anymore nuclear bombs or missiles.

The more and more that we make this missiles and clear military space, these other countries think we are trying to start a war. Pay attention.

Answer 17

Yes, Pleaes, Thank you, finally there is someone else out here with a brain.

The Palin children are off limits.

MCCAIN / PALIN '08

Answer 18

Sure, what at least the first two people said.  Can't have it both ways.  I'd love to stick to the real issues but us Obama supporters are pretty d**n sick of the BS at this point.  

Answer 19

Umm, this is a real issue. Strong family values, abstinence only education, the evils of birth control, the evils of premarital s*x, these are all big things in the Republican agenda. Now we have a real life example of why Governor Palin's beliefs don't work (i.e., the beliefs she wants to impose on everyone and make the law of the land), not just the hypothetical girl everyone assumes just has to be a sluttly Democratic girl from a bad family. If she wants to make these "strong family values" a cornerstone of her candidacy, I think it's completely fair game to question how they can work for everyone else if they can't even work for her underage, unmarried daughter who has been spoon-fed these principles since an early age (i.e., 17, probably after she got pregnant, since we all know that s*x education only encourages them to have s*x and therefore must not be talked about).

Answer 20

NO - not when people are still bad-mouthing Obama's family!

Answer 21

The energy crisis?

Answer 22

lol that is what the democrats used to be saying

Answer 23

No. this 17 yr. old will stand out like a sore thumb against the back drop that the Repubs are trying to lay about Sarah. This shows that she and her family aren't really able to walk on water, like they want us to believe. A pregnant, unwed teen isn't an issue to be brushed under the rug. Expect this to bite the holier-than-thou Repubs in the ***!

Answer 24

No. The libs are getting their jollies.

Answer 25

Yes. I am done arguing about this topic, and I have asked many questions about it myself.

More important issues I would like to see touched upon are Sarah's past ties with the Alaskan Independent party as well as her views on the "bridge to nowhere." I'm more curious to see what she has to say about those issues than the latest family gossip.

Answer 26

The issue isn't Bristol Palin being pregnant.

The issue is that her mother chose to pursue her career ambitions even though it obviously meant thrusting her daughter into the spotlight.

At least, that's how I see it.
