This is as tacky as when they went after Sarah, and Bristol, and Trig, and Levi, and ....

I know payback can be emotionally satisfying, but it's still wrong. I hope that most conservatives will be decent and honorable and leave Biden's children out of this, as well as leaving even Obama's children out of politics.

A) She's an adult.

B) If this story is true, she's committed a crime. Being the veep's daughter shouldn't give her a get-outta-jail-free card.

Sorry, this isn’t a child. She’s a 27 year old adult breaking the law. Trig is a baby. Bristol and Levi are barely adults, who did something not very smart but not illegal.

I understand your position. It's honorable and noble. Unfortunately, honor and nobility don't win too many elections nowadays.

The Dems, along with their co-conspirators in the MSM, have been making Republican kids part of their election strategy for almost three decades. While at the same time, the GOP has unilaterally disarmed because of traditional good taste, character and ethics. Look what that's gotten us.

At every opportunity, the Bush twins were painted as booze-addled, wild-child, trust-fund babies. It took it's toll on Bush. Perhaps not directly, or even consciously, but it took a toll nonetheless. Conservatives should not be too hasty when throwing away a trump card which can be used to beat our opponent into submission. JHMO.

“I hope that most conservatives will be decent and honorable and leave Biden’s children out of this, as well as leaving even Obama’s children out of politics.”

Not me. I’m sure that the Republicans in the Gang of 14 thought that they were being honorable, by protecting the tradition and comity of the Senate.

What did we get back in return? A Democratic Party that is about to steamroll legislation through the Senate that will MASSIVELY increase the size of government, without allowing for a filibuster. Not even Clinton attempted this stunt with healthcare.

We should treat them EXACTLY as they treat us...or maybe worse, for THEY DESERVE IT and their families DESERVE IT for enabling them.

They savage the children of Republicans visciously, be they adults, teenagers or even infants.

I understand what you say, but that is not going to work any longer. Maybe if their children are trashed, they will get a little more high minded, but I won’t hold my breath.

But no more passes because Republicans are nice folks who play by rules that don’t exist for or apply to the other side.

I agree. Leave the kids alone.

However...if it would have been the Bush daughters, all hell would have broken loose and we would have seen it a million times by now.

In my humble opinion

Ashley Biden is not a child. Her actions are fair game for comment

I think it's quite disgusting to compare snorting coke to what the Palin family was subjected to. OBVIOUSLY, ILLEGAL activity IS "IN BOUNDS".

That I feel that is one reason we are losing. We’re not street fighters like they are.

The difference is that Biden's "child" committed a crime.

So true. That is why you were posting that it wasn't right to smear Palin before... oops...no, you likely were in the DUck pen cheering them on.

Gee, I don’t remember seeing your outrage of tackiness when when Gov. Palin and her family were being savaged here.

Besides, this is a discussion of NEWS, not the spreading and encouragement of lies.
