A hot governor and mooseburgers and a pregnant, unmarried teen daughter. It doesn't get any better. You wonder: Why didn't McCain pick Bobby Jindal?
Republicans at the convention are saying Sarah Palin's daughter's pregnancy is a private matter. They aren't the least bit dissuaded in their support of Palin. Why should they be? A teen girl is keeping her baby and marrying the father, who by the way, is named Levi (they are refusing to give any other details) --These are all things that conservatives stand for.
They believe there is no other way. They believe they are the moral compass of America. They don't realize that there are teens out there without the support of a loving family (and conservatives don't support those kinds of families). They believe in marriage. A teen at 17 getting married? How sad. Sad, sad, sad.
Who is going to take care of Sarah Palin's children and grandchildren if she's vice president? Did she think of the ramifications of her teen daughter being in the spotlight? Did John McCain really know? Here's another thing to think about. It's okay for a white family to have hordes of kids. But what if Obama's daughter was in the same situation? Can you imagine the stoning?
With the Palin pick, it's apparent that the evangelicals are once again poised to come out and vote in large numbers for McCain. We'll have a Bush repeat if Americans aren't wiser.
The wingnuts have begun casting stones at the Obama camp. But it is the wingnuts who preach sin and abstinence to the rest of us.
Just more hypocrisy. More of the same. I wonder what else Sarah Palin has to offer. She's turned out to be a beautiful distraction, just what McCain needed-relief from his dismal, dusty, old man campaign.
