” The problem is that all of these “Time-Honored Traditions”, i.e. not coming out publicly on the nomination night of the other guy, not getting the CHILDREN involved, not slamming the President while overseas, etc, are always HONORED by our side but the Leftists have zero qualms about violating these traditions. “

This whole episode is really turning me off completely to politics. And I am not the only one. I called friends, co -workers and colleagues from around the Country today and everybody is as disgusted as I am. I really have a lot of trouble with Sarah dragging the Palin family through this.I realize it is her choice but to me it is a turn off and so does everybody I know universally. None of these are LIBS. The negative feelings of McCain also come out. NONE OF these people like Obama one bit and a lot are very professional woman. But I live in a profession that is geared towards “taking the other side of the trade” - I am EXTREMELY used to people pushing back on “my call” as we say in the biz and it is astounding the universal concurrence I see.

I know the superduper anti-abortion people like Palin because it is “in your face” to the pro-choice crowd and if abortion is your main issue I get it sort of. I am not at all with the others around here that see teen pregnancy as a blessed event.

I am also a bit twinged over Rush doing a moral equivalence. It is disgusting but a fact of life that Edwards and Obama and BJ Clinton get a pass on bad behavior but no reason we should get one or even ask.

I cannot stand to watch this tonight.

I think this war needs to be fought without the children. Sarah has them in it.

Sunnyflorida,

You and I have had some good debates over the issues, but IMO, this is NOT a glorification of TEEN PREGNANCY. I am not sure how many children that you have, but if you have any, you surely know that you cannot control their behavior any more than the LIBERALS try to control our behavior. Kids make mistakes. Period. You try to tell them right from wrong, but they are FREE to make their own choices. The fact that Sarah Palin has a teenage daughter that is pregnant should NOT take away from the fact that she is more than qualified to serve this nation as the United State Vice President.

If you and the people that you deal with are so appalled that Governor Palin and her family CHOSE LIFE then tough! Go vote for someone else or sit home!

Personally, I could not think of a better running mate for McCain then Governor Palin. She is a REAL PERSON who is not afraid to show it. Her family is a REAL FAMILY with real challenges that many families in America have to deal with.
