Why do conservatives think that Democrats are "attacking a teenage girl"?

Question

The fact of the matter is (at least in my opinion) that it's absolutely not a big deal that Bristol is pregnant... She simply joins the ranks of hundreds of thousands of other Pregnant Teenagers in America...

She simply shows her mother's political posturing for what it truly is... hypocrisy.

I can't wait to see Miss Palin preach "morality" to the convention...

I'll have to make some microwave popcorn for this one...

Isn't it the lies, scandals, cover-ups and political posturing that are truly under the microscope here?

Answer 1

well you just attacked the daughter,you inferred that she has no morality,also alot of the questions on here refer to her as a s**t.i am not saying things would be much different if it were Dem's in this situation. but any talk of morality in this situation is an attack on the daughter. what is the pregnancy rates in area's that promote contraceptives. just because you teach anything doesn't mean children will listen. do kids still drink,do kids still do drugs. actually the facts are that abstinence is 100% safe,no other birth control is

Answer 2

It's just their typical hyperbole.  It makes them feel better to act as though we're attacking a teenage instead of listen to the criticism of her mothers policy positions.  

Let's face it, it's not easy to defend a no s*x education policy when your daughter is pregnant.  

Answer 3

I could not agree with you more whole heartedly.  Although,there have certainly been some juvenile, and sophomoric attacks here on Y!A.  They need to stop.  There are plenty of reasons not to vote for this ticket.  Insulting a young mother to be is not one of them.

Answer 4

It is her own mother who is making her the "spectacle".

Answer 5

Because they are.

Answer 6

They don't, it's just easier to say then "Uh-oh, the Democrats are learning from past campaign tactics."

Answer 7

The daughter is not under the microscope......Palin is for her failure to educate her daughter on the use of contraceptives.

Obviously abstinence only education does't work.....

anyone else need more proof ?

Answer 8

I am surprised that Ms Palin accepted the V.P. position with the knowlege that she has an unmarried teenager at home.  Surely she must have know the attention and resulting pressure this would bring to her daughter.  Clearly Ms Palin is more career minded than many thought she was.  

Answer 9

Can you imagine if this was Clinton's daughter of some other Democrat.  Rush Limbaugh, Ann Couter, Sean Hannity, Bill' O and other far right media mouths would have field day with such news.  Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Answer 10

This child's pregnancy certainly isn't unusual. What's ironic is that her mother preaches abstinence more than education. Sorta like Newt screaming the loudest during Clinton's impeachment hearings.
