Well, you do have a good point. If I implied they were 100% honest and clean in the "good ole days" then I was wrong. I do think there was more honesty in reporting back then but certainly not completely.

I am referring to the 1940s and 1950s when I talk about the good ole days. And still, they did their share of manipulation back then too.

Only ignorant days the public did not realize their undermining stench.

Very well put!

Think about it.

How much do we know about ANY of the other candidates
kids/family?

They have, rightly, been left alone. But they have savaged the Palins from day one.

If they did this to even ONE of the Rats families, the would be an overnight law passed with stiff penalties.

The media wouldn’t even mention Obama’s EARS

If they did they would blame Bush.

The media put that family through the mill back in 2008. How many great leaders have we lost because of this media machine.

I’m assuming you’re referring to this?

her answer was “the impact on family”, not the reported “media attack”.

Ahhh - she also said 'after what our family has gone through"

Are y'all suggesting the media hasn't been vicious to the Palins - while totally leaving all other politicians kids alone?

Like I said in another thread.. She has my full support until she specifically says, “I am not running”..

OK, concern over media attacks on one's family deters candidates from running, while other candidates enjoy protection from criticism and privacy for their families from the same media.

I actually enjoy her controlling the LSM.. I am waiting for her to announce, but I think she is using this time to her advantage..

IF, she announces that she is not running, then I will be along side her and trust her judgement. (BUT.. I don’t think she will fail us ;))

I hadn't seen that but thanks.

I was referring to the Tweets that were posted to FR during the day. Amazingly unflattering report. Her stretching of the truth started bothering be a couple of months ago. On top of that she apparently set something up today in spite of rules against it. I think the woman is character challenged. I get beaten up here for expressing that opinion, but that is just the way I see it.

BTW, just saw a rerun of Gov Palin on Hannity. That interview looked more like a campaign speech than an interview. Interesting that she gave props to Newt and T-Paw.

I missed the part where she says that anything is preventing her from running.

I haven't heard a thing about Romney's kids.

Perry? Gingrich? Nope...them either.
