Why is ok to talk about Bridget McCain but no ok to talk about Bristol Palin at the RNC?

Question

Last night at the RNC, they spent one segment talking about how Cindy McCain 'saved' Bridget and some other foreign child from an orphanage. It was supposed to be in-line with the evening's theme of "Service".

This happened on the day that people claimed that family issues has no place in politics.

So, having said that, why is ok to talk about Bridget and no ok to talk about Bristol? Shouldn't it be all or nothing?

Isn't this a bit hypocritical?

Thoughts?

Answer 1

Even though I don't think that ANY children should be brought up nor discussed during the political campaigns on either side...

It probably has to do with the fact that Bridget isn't shrouded in controversy and it "shows" the character of Cindy McCain.

Answer 2

Have you not been paying attention to the TV and newspaper? Bristol Palin is ALL they are talking about.

Answer 3

The story is about Cindy not Bridget.  Cindy brought Bridget home from the orphanage.  

Sarah did not get Bristol preggers.  

Answer 4

I guess you call that "Liberal Logic" right?

Answer 5

Let's see if I can put this simply so you may be able to understand it...

The Bridget story is an uplifting one of compassion and love.

The Briston story is one based on lies and innuendos and was thrown out to the world by a left-wing dump site and has no truth to it at all.

If your theory is correct, then why did Obama bring his two small children on stage to give his acceptance speech at the DNC?

The sooner the libs move on from this non-issue, the better off their party will be.  But keep yapping about it...can't get much lower than you are already.

Answer 6

Thought: Saving children, even foreign ones, is in line with the topic of "service." Talking about Bristol is not.

Answer 7

Children should be off limits to any of this

Answer 8

Why can't we hear how Obama took his little girls to hear Uncle Jerry swear and hump the podium.  

Answer 9

Because John and Cindy McCain adopted her... showing that they actually have a heart.

They tried talking about Bristol when they were being HONEST (a word democrats don't know the meaning of) about her pregnancy.  Maybe if the democrats didn't blow the situation out of proportion and spread HATRED (a word democrats know all too well) she'd be talked about a little more.

If you think about the views of a democrat, there's going to be a lot more teenage pregnancies with one of them in office.  Health care paid by everyone, abortions made legal - Obama is just making it easy...

Answer 10

I saw Sarah Palin giving a speech and right after her speech, she had her small kids signing autographs!!! She doesn't want the media to talk about her kids, but she doesn't shelter them from the media but puts them on front street for exposure?? Makes sense!

Answer 11

It is in keeping with introducing the candidate and family to the public.  Barak Obama has two daughters.  No one asked if they are still virgins.  Your poison liberal mind can't fathom something as deep as that.
