Your love of the Palin family is so evident.
I evaluate the Palin family using the same criteria I would apply to any family. If any Democrat politician’s teenage daughter had gotten knocked up by a teenage high school dropout whose mother is a drug dealer, conservatives would be howling endlessly about how the girl’s parents were both too busy with their careers to bother raising their children properly. Lack of family values, destroying the fabric of society, etc, etc.
I’d have had a lot more respect for Sarah if she’d announced upfront that this was a private family matter, and then refused to discuss it in any public setting. Instead, a fairy tale “spin” story was concocted and fed to the media, and the muddleheaded teens were marched onto the stage at the Republican convention, coerced into serving the interests of Sarah’s political career. Even now, more than 2 months after the election, Sarah is STILL using the media to try to spin the tale of Bristol and Levi into some sort of asset to her political image.
