I agree it is becoming absurd. It certainly is absurd that some would consider not voting for Sarah Palin because her daughter is pregnant. I think the whole thread has become a subject of grace vs judgement.
I think we have a mix of sore losers whos primary candidate did not get the nod and just plain old trolls using them as useful idiots.
Clearly, some individual discussions have devolved into absurdness. The fact that some Evangelicals and other social conservatives will decide not to vote for McCain in November, is not absurd. Its reality. That was the point I was offering from the very beginning. McCain knew about this and still went ahead with his choice of Sarah Palin. Then Palin said, she was okay with it. IMO, that is poor judgment all the way around --- yesterday, today and tomorrow.
That may not bother some folks. It sure makes me uneasy.
