Let me be clear I have no desire to see Sarah Palin or her family injured due to the fact that her teenage daughter is pregnant from pre-marital sex! However the issue is how Governor Palin and her fellow travelers in the “family values” Republican Party use smear and fear to win elections then deal with their own hypocrisy! First let’s have a big round of applause for “abstinence education”! Perhaps if the Alaskan Air National Guard, which Gov. Palin commands, should fly “TROJAN BOMBING RUNS” over Alaskan high schools! Apparently conservatism does not make them frigid in Alaska! I am NOT making fun of the kids involved but the parents who need to wake up!
Am I being sick! No not when Gov. Palin demeans the institution of marriage by saying that her teenage daughter plans to “marry the boy”! He just dropped out of high school but he can shoot a gun! Apparently both the NRA kind and the other! Yet Gov. Palin wants her to marry this “boy”! What to appease her warped angry conception of Deity and the constituency that subscribes to this?
Hell you don’t base a marriage on a mistake!
Ok if she insists on not having an abortion and wants to raise the child don’t compound the problem by jailing that poor girl and boy to a life time commitment! (Though there should be a financial commitment by both) How can they make such a decision to marry at that age? Oh sure they can have a kid but the “Sacred Institution” they so whine about should not be based on a MISTAKE by two young innocent people who let their hormones get away and whose parents don’t want to take RESPONSIBILITY for their proper sex education!
I wonder did they have sex education. Where condoms made available to them if they felt they could not control themselves like others before them such as Benjamin Franklin!
(Republicans “CELEBRATE FAMILY VALUES” at their local Airport Larry Craig Toilet Stall)
These self righteous paragons of virtue are the same ones who deny the rights of gays to marry! Oh dear what is going to happen will every conservative male be tempted to become gay?
I am a Democrat but at the same time I urge Gov. Palin to NOT drop out as this is a problem that is rampant in our society! ( I have some other reasons why she may not be suitable but this is not one of them) Both conservatives AND liberals share responsibility for this! So instead of being self righteous why not join forces and be more tolerant. Push for sex education! Yes and maybe drop condoms on high schools with the Alaskan National Guard! An insert could be added urging youth not to confuse sex with love! But at least we have to stop teen pregnancy!
Remember Gov. Palin’s daughter will have resources available to her that other poorer teens will not. I do not begrudge her this only that others should also be respected.
I personally don’t like Spitzer as Governor though he did a good job as Attorney General investigating Wall Street. Unless he used state money I believe he should not be forced to resign. Putting this on the nightly news was appropriate but he did not do anything that Bill “Bubba” Clinton did not do.
Well Bill Clinton did balance the budget and this frugality even touched his sex life! He did not let sex interfere with him doing his job in the oval office even if an intern was doing a “FREE” job on him! Elliot “John” Spitzer apparently spent thousands of dollars on his extra-marital flings! But then again he wasn’t preaching “family values” though he did go after prostitution rings. Elliot next time balance your budget! - GET AN INTERN!
I don’t take this lightly but the real issue is how his wife and family view him and his acts. He screwed his wife not the people who elected him! While I wonder about some of his political activities that made the news in the early part of his administration, I do not believe we are the ones to punish or forgive him. That is his wife’s arena!
Perhaps we should all say:
Bad Bad Bad Governor!
You naughty naughty naughty boy!
For penance he should be locked in a bathroom stall next to Senator Larry Craig! while Rosie O’Donald sings the national anthem!
Now that Newt Gingrich has had a sudden need to confess years after his affair, might I ask a few relevant questions?
Since he waited so long to fess up why should we believe his motivation is anything but politically motivated?
Obviously addressing the issue of being a hypocrite on family values drove him deep into the closet but what would have happened to him if he were pulled out of that closet years ago by a court and had to give sworn testimony under oath? Would he lie and perjury himself?
While having an extramarital affair is not a criminal offense, except under the Deuteronomy style values that Gingrich and his fellow travelers so extol, one must ask would our champion of anti-biases in news media coverage whine and wail that his set up under oath was a pretext to get him to perjury himself (ala Clinton)?
Regardless of your views on Hilary Clinton, why is she attacked for the “Bill Clinton affair” when she was clearly the victim! Why do these champions of family values attack a woman who forgave her husband and preserved her family?
What great sin has Hillary Clinton done in terms of family values? Yet this poor woman has been dragged through the mud. First by her own husband and worst by the hypocrites of the right wing! Oh they argue she just wants to be president and that is why she forgave him! What krap. Democrats being the PC Correct species they are would not go against her for leaving her husband. Besides the conservatives would never vote for her either way! How DARE Hillary Clinton aspire to give the Silent Majority of Americans Universal Health Care and hence freedom from subservience to the CORPORATE COLLECTIVISTS!
The time has come to drag these hypocrites from the right out of their closet! The very same hypocrites, who after six years past 9-11 have still not secured our borders and want to outsource our nation’s port security to the United Arab Emirates! Their loyalty is not to America’s port security but their own portfolio security! These bleeding hearts of the right who don’t care for the dreams and aspirations of the average American but send our technological jobs out from the homeland they claim loyalty to. Well that is except for the jobs they fill here with H1-B Visa workers at lower pay.
The time has come for America’s great silent majority, our Middle Class and those who aspire to be, to take back our nation from these effete snobs of the corporate elite!
I see no problem with the Vice President’s daughter being Gay and wanting to be a single mom. Recently Wolf Blizter, an anchor on CNN, asked the Vice President about his daughter being both Gay and a single mom. The VP got annoyed, refused to answer and told Blizter he was out of line.
Isn’t it amazing how these elite have two sets of values. They rant and rave against gays and try to push a constitutional amendment to define “marriage”. Yet they have no problem with a single mom who is Gay when it is one of “THEIR CHILDREN”!
While I agree that the VP’s situation should be handled respectfully and tastefully, none the less he is a GOD DAMNED HYPOCRITE when he does not speak out against Republicans trying to use Gay Marriage as a wedge issue to cover up their failures in Iraq. Sure it is hard on his family. But the man is in the public limelight and this country has made him rich and given him it’s second highest office. Why should he be isolated and feel safe while many Gays have to be persecuted by Republicans who seek to build wedge issues to cover up their failures. Meanwhile the VP has said that we are having enormous success in Iraq! Now isn’t that a queer thing to say! Vice President Cheney needs to accept reality both abroad and at home. He should tell the Christian Right to just SHUT UP.
Oh they talk about us Democrats using “fear” tactics as if marriages are breaking apart due to the conversion of one or both partners in their sexual orientation. The Vice President and his fellow travelers of effete snobs would due better to out law divorce if they want to protect the American Family. Though I should not write this as I suppose some in the wacko religious right would like to do that also!
Perhaps if the VP were not so latently ashamed of his daughter he would tell the religious right to shut up instead of Wolf Blizter!
Well gang it seemed that sly George was about to pull off another Republican win, by changing the national focus from his failure in Iraq and the war on terrorism, to instead making Americans fear that Gays where about to molest our youth and wean them down the road of homosexuality. Sly George who cut and ran from his obligation to attend National Guard drills as a youth and pointed the finger at Democrats, calling us the “party of fear”, now has his own scandal in the Foley incident.
If the Republicans are so hell fire bent on protecting the family why not out law divorce? What about covering all American families with some form of health insurance? No George Bush wants to play the politics of fear then engage in the psychological defense mechanisms of reaction formation and projection. That is to say accusing others of fear mongering while that is one of his own political strategies!
Meanwhile America’s middle class voters have seen their jobs out sourced to third world nations and foreign h1b guest workers undermining the computer technology job market. Our interest rates are rising because Bush continues the war in Iraq yet North Korea is developing nuclear weapons and the means of delivering them.
Yet George Bush and his fellow travelers whine that the rich pay to much in taxes. Oh these bleeding hearts of the right wing whine and rant about allowing our free market to set prices. Yet they have no problem using “government intervention” to allow foreign h1b guest workers undermine the wage scale in the information technology employment market. Then they wonder why Americans do not want to take the more difficult technology courses in college! Is it any wonder why “Atlas Shrugged” to use their terminology?
This is the party that now asks for your vote this November! Please Dear God just make Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton shut their mouths for the next month so we can win big in this election.
