I also like to describe them as "poor communicators with a small vocabulary and no tact." Often uneducated with pent up emotional issues that cause them to be so abrasive. They have to resort to name calling because their grasp of the English language doesn't allow them to make intelligent points.

What a joke.

Re: Breaking News -- Governor Palin's Daughter

I want state I don't support killing babies (abortion).

Abortion is nothing new, it will be business as usually no matter who voted in! Bush along with other men who've been elected throughout history have voiced the same promises !

You think by now we as Christian would get it and wise up, we get so caught up in this one issues (abortion) we tend to forget there are other issues on the table and overlook some things that will put us in worst shape then we are now as a nation.

They ( those in command ) know it! So they dance that one issues in our face hoping will overlook their true agenda! Once again we all buy into this so called no more abortion agenda , we need to realized majority rules!

And Government is not godly, never was, nor will be! Nor do they really care what you or I think, we are small fish in comparison to the groups they are really focused on!


I'll ready to be fire on...Aim fire....

I can of course see where your coming from. And I realize it makes us look "simple" to a degree, focusing on the abortion issue. Babies out weigh any other issue by.... so much.... that it's in another category.

I know politicians are liars..but my conscience would never let me vote for someone who supports abortion. I do not care what they say about anything else. There is a special place in hell for baby killers, and people who support (vote) for them. I know thats harsh.. but ohh well.

If the right person gets in the Whitehouse.. I really believe in 2-10 yrs. Roe vs. Wade could be overturned. I know it sounds far fetched.. but we need to pray against abortion. God cannot truly bless this country otherwise.

This may be my first, I'm thinking about not voting. I can't pick either candidate! My feeling is this, once again "we the people have no real choice", there both evil!

Re: Breaking News -- Governor Palin's Daughter

Politico.com has an interesting take on the issue.
New Palin Details May Help, Not Hurt

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Fishing permit violations. A blue-collar husband who racked up a DUI citation as a 22-year-old. An unmarried teenage daughter who is pregnant and a nasty child custody battle involving a family member.

All of this, to one degree or another, has surfaced in recent days as a result of efforts to discredit or undermine Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. But these revelations may have the opposite effect: In one sense, they could reinforce how remarkably unremarkable she is.

So far — and it is hard to tell what the future may hold for Palin’s unexpected national candidacy — the travails of the Palin family probably seem awfully familiar to many average Americans. It is this averageness that makes her such a politically promising running mate for John McCain — and such a dangerous opponent for Democrats. Many voters will find it easy to identify with her family’s struggles — a significant advantage in an election where the voting calculus is so unusually and intensely personal.

Nobody will ever know should Obama's daughters end up pregnant before marriage. They'll have an abortion before it leaks out!

It is not a good situation, however many of us have been touched close to home with this type situation. How they handle this is a better sample of their character than the fact that it happened. My niece married her child's father and though some rough times, they are following after the Lord.

This forum would have exploded with people talking about his parenting, his family, his values, the example his family sets, etc...
I am starting to hate partisanship. I am consider myself neither Democrat or Republican because I am starting to see how partisanship is just a way for politicians to play both sides against the middle...the "middle" being America, her culture, people, ideals, best interests, sovereignty, future, etc...
Tstew, as usual, nails it on the head exactly. Look, I feel for the young lady and am glad she's made the right decision to keep the child and marry the young man. Obama was clear he wasn't interested in playing politics in the matter. McCain brought this on himself by picking an unvetted individual whom he'd met twice in his life to become his Vice President at 72 years old.

That said, when these type of issues come up on the Republican side it's always, "oh this is family business and they need to be left alone." It was the same way when the "family values" candidate David Vitter (R) of Louisiana was caught hanging out with prostitutues. It was a family matter and how dare anyone ask questions about it or get to the bottom of it. The poor fella was trying to take care of his family and work through a "family" issue.

When it's a Dem, like say Bill Clinton, well it's time to turn the hounds loose and let them subpeona and ajudicate to the fullest extent and ruin people. Conservative talk radio will burn them at the stake and ask questions later. It's time a lot of these Repubs made up their minds on how they feel about these types of issues and stop the flip flopping.

I think this statement vividly highlights the gap in thought processes.
