Why does the liberal media pays too much ATTENTION to Governor Palin's pregnant daughter? Is that an issue?

Question

BREAKING NEWS: Sarah Palin doubles McCain's fundraising.

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/tim_shipman/blog/2008/09/01/sarah_palin_doubles_john_mccains_fundraising

Answer 1

The media can attack Sarah Palins daughter all they want.   People see Palins situation as a real human problem..and seeing people (namely democrats) attacking another human being for having a very human problem....

Attacking a pregnant teenager is right up there with tripping the elderly...it makes me angry...but..I have to admit...its good for our side ...I just wish it wasn't so disgusting to watch.

Answer 2

Actually they are talking more about Troopergate.  

Answer 3

I agree, "family values" should not be a political topic.

Answer 4

I'm just concerned that with all the new surprises, that maybe she should concentrate on her children and leave the job as VP alone.I know everyone has issues. But this woman has overwhelmed us. A few hours ago they announced that her husband was arrested for drunk driving in the past.Come on, Whats next????

Answer 5

They do it for the same reason why the conservative media bashes Michelle Obama, John Edward's infedility, Reverend Wright etc.

Answer 6

So you're saying if Obama or Biden ran on a platform of abstinence only sexual education, against condom use, against birth control, and then their 17 year old daughter got pregnant, and was rushed into a wedding, you would be upset and ask why Fox News was covering it?

Answer 7

They are desparate.  They think it is the only thing they can attack- a poor young woman in a difficult situation.

Answer 8

The same the media spent a days talking about "are the democats" united" Waste of time and air space

Answer 9

Yes, it would be very helpful to cover the issues. But look at the questions here, including yours. This is so much more fun, huh? Another question for ya'll: What would you be saying if this were the Democratic candidate's daughter (if he had an older child, that is)?

Answer 10

leads to creditability

shows she talks alot about family values, but fails to teach them

shows the great success she had shoving the bible down the neck of her kids

shows you what will become of America if she got any power

I think this it's a MAJOR issue

Answer 11

It is her moral stand. We also look at the integrity of the candidate and one will have to question her actions surrounding all of this.

Why wasn;t she upfront about the whole thing in the first place? Why did she feel the need to hide it all? Keep in mind the Bush daughters got hammered on when they were caught drinking underage.

The way politics is, whatever the children do wrong reflects on the parents. If she can't even make sure her underage daughter doesn;t get pregnant, how can she lead a nation?

Answer 12

I agree it is hardly the major issue of the day - but she only has herself to blame.

When you campaign on family values and support abstinence only s*x education you do look a little silly with an unmarried teenage pregnant daughter.

Beau - perhaps it's not much they have on her - but a lot better than looking an idiot for claiming a birth certificate was forged when it wasn't - or that a convicted felon being paid to smear Obama with puerile stories of drugs and g*y s*x was a credible source - or that Obama is a muslim until suddenly we find we can attack something his Christain preacher said 7 years ago when Obama wasn't even in the church' - or the "quotes" from his book and his wife's thesis that it turned out weren't in his book or his wife's thesis.

Sure if this is all they have on Palin - it's still a h**l of a lot more than the lies your guys made up.

Answer 13

Because they have nothing else to attack her on and they are scared of her.

Answer 14

I do not feel that Palin's teen daughters pregnancy should be an issue for the public or media , it is a private family matter, yet not long ago Bill Clinton's affair was turned into a media circus and hearings and so on. That was and issue that should have been between him and his wife not the public, yet you would have thought that he had committed war crimes or something like a certain other person in office.  

Answer 15

Typical Liberal trash so desperate to find something on McCain  and Palin And pathetically that's the best they can do .Which explains why there talk radio shows get canceled because no one wants to Liston to garbage . They have no creditability due too they would sell out on there country for a CON MAN Obama. Liberals don't deserve to even live in America or call them self's American. It's only a matter of time before Republicans get so sick of there BS that we have a civil war with Liberals and kick there worthless ungrateful @sses out of America
