Steph is an idiot who makes things up out of whole cloth

why is she so bent out of shape over Bristol Palin.... a young woman who has ZERO political influence.....?

Bristol probably does have close to zero political influence, but I do hope that she reaches a few young people on the outer edges of political awareness, the way that someone we don't like, such as a pop singer or distasteful stage comedian that we know isn't greatly influential, but that probably has a little negative influence on high school kids and a few 20 somethings.

Bristol has been a pro-life spokeswoman when she was well known, and an abstinence spokesperson when she was the famed single mom daughter of Governor Palin, she did very well and was popular in Dances with the Stars, and she is a New York times, bestselling author.

My hope is that she is reaching young females and being a positive influence on them, and either making them republicans, or making it easier for them to grow into republicans.

Remember her mom's influence on the young females of America.

Bristol has also been spreading seeds of strength and conservatism among America's girls.
