Bristol Palin's new abstinence campaign shines a light on the Republican Party's unhealthy attitude about sex and desire.
BY MEGHAN MCCAIN
The first time I ever heard about oral sex was during the Lewinsky scandal. Mostly, I remember being confused by President Clintons responseit depends on what the meaning of is is. When it comes to sex, politicians face all sorts of double standards: who is allowed to have sex with whom, what constitutes sex, and whether its appropriate, to name a few. Candies Foundations announcement that they were partnering with Bristol Palin to promote an abstinence-only campaign has caused me to reflect on my own experiences as a political daughter, and the role sex plays in defining the Republican party.
Let me get something straight: Bristol Palin, as an eighteen-year-old adult, is free to make her own choices and decide how she wants her life to unfold. But for whatever reasons, the American public and media remain overly engrossed in our politicians sex lives and, as in this case, those of their families. Theres an especially unhealthy attitude among conservatives. Daughters of Republican politicians arent expected to have sex, let alone enjoy itas if there were some strange chastity belt automatically attached to us female offspring. God forbid anyone talk realistically about life experiences and natural, sexual instincts. Nope, the answer is always abstinence.

I’m embarrassed for you, Meghan. I really am.
BTW, Meghan McCain, the anti-viagra!
I think she is a dumb as her Dad. Now, that said, will some one tell me why people are so hung up on the sex life of others and talking about their own? I personally think it is a sign of trashy up bringing. Next they will be talking about their bathroom functions on line and in interviewes.
What is she, 25 years old? And she has no experience in life except as a professional blogger. And no one would be paying her any attention at all except she’s her father’s daughter. What does she know about anything?
I like megan much more when her mouth is full of donuts than when stupid word come out of her empty mouth as a direct passage from her empty brain.
Hey fatso! Nobody cares if you're having sex, with whom and much less if you enjoy it. You're NOT all that and we're not That into you.
I believe what Meaghan is trying to say is, “I’ll blame anything and anyone I can to avoid the obvious conclusion that I am the reason men aren’t falling all over themselves to know me in the Biblical sense.”
Bless her heart...her bootie’s been blessed enough already.
I know enough about it to have been married for 27 years and have two children, both of whom are nicer and smarter than you, Meghan, ever will be.
My daughter is prettier, smarter, and will do more for herself and thus society than Meghan McCain. As long as the Dims and RINOs don't completely destroy our Country first.
LOL ... You said it! There needs to be a side-forum for this stuff.
Just because the Party supports morality doesn't make Republicans the most pure people in the country. Republicans are sinners, just like Democrats, but in the press, Democrats get a pass for their sexual proclivities because their Party doesn't stand for anything having to do with morality, except of course when it comes to green living, and protecting the Earth is the most moral thing you can do, you understand.
LOL! Great use of that graphic!
It tells me that it is a good idea to avoid the pregnancy in the first place by not being used as a substitute for a blow up doll.
When the country was conservative (40s-50s), the out of wedlock birthrate was a small fraction of what it is today. The number of unmarried women having sex was a small fraction of what it is today. The number of preteen girls having sex was near zero. Birth control wasnt readily available, sex ed in the school was non-existent yet abstinence was the norm not the exception. Then the libs came along and told us that we needed sex educ in school to prevent the few percent of sluts that existed. They also said that instead of taking pregnant sluts out of school they should stay in class. They said that TV, movies and music with sexual content wouldnt encourage such behavior and that we were stupid prudes to think it would. They got their way.
Flash forward a few decades and we have a majority of children born out of wedlock, virgins are rare even among early teens, preteen girls in many cities think nothing of giving oral sex to classmates, schools are full of sex ed classes, readily available birth control and pregnant students. WE TOLD THEM THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
Now we have Megan McCain smugly BLAMING REPUBLICANS for the current situation.
I didn’t bother reading the entire thing, somehow I’m just not interested in anything this McCain or the other one has to say about anything.
Let her be the darling of the Daily Beast, HuffPo, and even Daily Kos if she likes.
LOL. Yep and SHE”S got it.
Meg, I understand sex just fine. Now come over here and let me show you.
