One comment from Frum’s site.
Chekote wrote: The best lesson from Bristol was when she said that abstinence only sex education is not “realistic”. To me, it is not a question of upscale or downscale voters anymore. It is about the fact that social issues are not electoral winners and the sooner the GOP recognizes that the better. Obama won a majority of Catholics despite his stance on abortion. Blacks and Latinos voted heavily for Proposition 8, yet supported Democrats overwhelmingly. If we want to expand the party, we need to push social issues to the back burner.
Sursum Corda
Mr. Frum, who is paying you, Planned Parenthood?
How about making a moral stand for courage, integrity and timeless PRINCIPLES?!?
This person shouldn’t put pen to paper - he demonstrates his ignorance when he does.
Personally I don’t want to see any young people get married because of a child. It can be a miserable experience for the child if the parents don’t get along. I lived in that situation till I was 14 years old and my parents were smart enough to get a divorce.
That said, Bristol won’t be living on welfare with the child and I suspect dad will still play a big part in the child’s life.
I never thought they’d get married, and they didn’t. It’s a shame that her daughter was so disrespectful to herself (by getting pregnant while unmarried) and to her parents for putting on the charade just to stumble through the election.
Can’t imagine what the sharkfest will be with the RIM regarding this “breakup,” what with the nasty-pants at MSNBC, etc. Another chunk of meat to chew on to discredit a very lovely and highly qualified governor.
I guess it won’t be long before we see Frum go after Trig Palin. I think the Obama Tingler has got to him.
Frum, otoh, envisions a Republican base that's as socially liberal as the Donkey base. ...in his dreams.
I have developed such a repugnance for Frum that I can’t even bring myself to click through to his site.
Imagine viewing issues of what is good and bad for society, for young people, for our country only in terms of whether it is a winning election issue; whether it will get you into power.
We all know the damage that Cultural Marxism has done to this society. Vichy conservatives like Frum are all but useless in reversing that destruction.
I find it worse than pathetic that this intellectual runt thinks he has any right to comment on the life of the daughter of Gov. Palin. I can virtually guarantee that no one is interested in hearing his opinion unless it is one of his Neo-Marxist buddies.
Why is this the business of any person in America, other than the families of those involved.
The John Edwards’ affair, far more serious and pertinent, got the 10-foot-pole treatment from the media. There was a candidate for president, cheating on his cancer-stricken wife and lying about it. Ah, but he had Democratic immunity.
The guy starts off with some statements that he can not possibly know are true but he treats them as if they were. Just plain dishonesty.
One little girl regardless of who her Mother is, is not proof on anything.
HIs premise is wrong. Specifically, he believes that a poor white woman who has a child out of wedlock won’t be conservative. That’s like saying that nobody who has had an abortion can be anti-abortion, nobody who has had sex out of wedlock can think it’s a bad idea, nobody that has seen pornography can support censoring obscenities, and so on. None of that’s true.
Of course if she was not a Republican’s daughter none of this would make a difference
Get lost, Frum.
things won’t look so bleak when the Democrats don’t have an ill-gained 10-1 spending advantage. With Bush hatred gone, Obama’s celebrity faded if not tarnished, and Republicans not accepting the horse collar of public funding thereby forfeiting the fund-raising war to the Democrats, Obama’s young and downscale multitudes are likely to find something better to do on election day. If Hannity’s “man on the street” interviews prove nothing else, they show it isn’t issues or a whole lot of deep-thinking that drove Obama’s victory.
Frum is part of the Romney's anti-Conservative and anti-Palin attack squad.
David Frum, demonstrating once again what an ass he is.
We do NOT have to appeal to the round-heeled unwed mother set to win elections.
