Since Al Gore's son is a drug addict with an arrest record..?

Question

Doesn't Al need to stay home and make his son mind, instead of selfishly focusing on global warming? Who can trust the judgement of a man who allows his son to do drugs???

That's the argument you Dems use on Governor Palin, anyway.

Answer 1

Gore isn't running for President....you should have brought that point up when he was. Obama's children are perfectly behaved and lovely.

Answer 2

If Palin hadn't been such a huge advocate of abstinence-only education, as well as recommending the removal of traditional s*x education teaching in Alaska, this wouldn't have been an issue. But because of those things, this issue moves into the public forum, so it is worthy of discussion, not with regards to the daughter but to Palin's own inconsistencies.

Answer 3

Sorry he is not running for VP, he is busy flying around in his private "green" jet.  LOL  

It does not matter what "party" you are in, you can talk to your kids about s*x and drugs and  tell them not to do such evil things however, they will find a way to do them if they choose to.  All you can do is hope that the mistakes they make, will not kill them.    

Answer 4

Please stop bashing the kids of politicians!

Answer 5

I care as little about ex-Vice Presidents children as I do about Vice-Presidential Candidates' children. Can we talk about something that matters, please?

Answer 6

Shhhh....you aren't supposed to speak badly about democrats. That isn't allowed. Only democrats can speak badly about republicans...

Answer 7

Mud slingers- go brush you teeth and wash your ***. You are stupid and Gore isn't running for VP. S****y Palin is.

Answer 8

I don't trust Gory Al, but people should stay away from his kids.

And you're quite right that by the leftwing lunatics' own logic Gory Al should step down and go kill himself because of something his kids did.

But of course by that same leftwing lunatics' logic (or what passes for it) leftwing lunatics should never be held accountable for their actions or those of anyone else, no doubt they'll find a way to blame the kid's drug use on Bush or Cheney (they seem to have an infinite imagination when it comes to that after all).

Answer 9

You've totally missed the point.  Now, if Al Gore made his reputation based on being anti-drug, there could be a similarity there, but he didn't.  And is his son 17?

Answer 10

Al Gore's son is a 24 year old adult and his dad is no longer culpable for any decisions he has made or will make. It is ridiculous to think that a 24 year old man should be made to "mind" his daddy.

Palin's daughter was 16 years old when she became pregnant. Why didn't Palin stay home and make her own child "mind"? Maybe, Palin doesn't believe in s*x education in the schools or in her own home. Well, look at how that's working for her and her daughter!! : o

Answer 11

Amen, brother, Amen.  

Answer 12

Good point, now lets move on to the issues.

Answer 13

Why are you so worried about this?  Typical insecure Republican idiocy.

If it wasn't an issue, then you wouldn't care.

Answer 14

excellent point

Answer 15

Look will you people leave all of these kids alone.!

They did not choose for their parents to go into politics. They did not choose which side of politics their parents were on. They could probably ALL have benefitted from a bit more time and attention from their parents.

THEY are not the enemy OK?

EDIT: Scottr I agree Palin's record on this policy is appalling. But this cannot be discussed at this point without involving the girl and she is SO vulnerable right now. I want to get her and hide her away on an island somewhere where she is allowed to learn how to be a mum. This is so sad for HER. How is she supposed to come to terms with motherhood when she is being told she represents all that is wrong with America.

Leave her alone. She is just a baby too!

Deal with mum and dad!

Answer 16

so you are comparing an adult to a defendant child.

Neither cases are relevant, what is relevant is Palin refusal   for government sponsored s*x education, which could have helped Bristol.

Answer 17

Al Gore isn't running in 2008.

Secondly, Sarah Palin is running on a platform of abstinence.  

Now if she can't get that concept over to her own daughter, how in the world can she sell it to a nation?

Answer 18

that was then an this is know al gore isn'tt running this time so whats your point  

Answer 19

I remember that a lot of us condemned Al Gore for his son's arrest... now, we are condemning Palin for her daughter.  I say that both cases are unfair BUT if we are going to criticize Gore then we have to take our medicine too when it comes to Palin.

In this case, what's good for the gander is good for the goose.

Personally, I don't care about personal scandals (and this is a scandal, you can paint it however you want but either side would attack a opponent for this, you have to admit this) but I am concerned with the fact that McCain's camp did not expose this themselves before the story exploded.  That makes me think that they did not know this and that shows what I suspected: that this choice for VP was an impulsive decision and that she only filled 2 criteria... pro-life and that she was a woman.

I am deeply concerned about McCain's motives and judgement with this selection.

Answer 20

Global Warming- HAH!   The Temperture has only risen 1 degree higher in the past ONE HUNDRED YEARS!

NO Such Thing as GLOBAL WARMING>



Yes Al Gore needs help from his son, maybe if Al let his son help him then his son would not be so upset and take drugs..

Answer 21

Is Al running for VP?

Answer 22

I think your a lefty  

Answer 23

lol...yeah...

Answer 24

I do not think how your child turns out effects the way someone runs a country. I would rather someone with a juvenile delinquent child that does a great job running a country than someone who has a "picture perfect" family that does a terrible job.  

Answer 25

you should just delete your question.  you're showing the ignorant side of your party.

Answer 26

Nobody would care about Palin's kid if it weren't for the ironic fact that the Governor is a nutcase fundamentalist who insists upon abstinence only education.

Answer 27

Well since he "invented" the internet and all.......

McCain/Palin 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 28

Didn't you get the memo?

Al Gore is no longer a factor in American politics. That's why nobody cares.

Answer 29

Gore's son isn't 4 months with DS. Gore's 17 year old baby isn't having a baby of her own. And Gore's not a conservative trying to preach morals over health care and the economy.
