Palin's Social Views Hurt Ticket
Real Clear Poltics ^ | 9/4/08 | Froma Harrop

I had dinner last night with a Republican-leaning independent who was despondent over John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. She had been looking forward to supporting McCain as a fiscal conservative with a deep understanding of foreign relations. But all she could now see was that picture of Palin's pregnant 17-year-old looking defiant and stupid as she held mom's fifth baby.

Many religious conservatives are jubilant. They regard Palin as a swell choice because her high-schooler was going to have the baby. The line sent my friend into shock. This is not a matter of abortion politics, she said, but of managing one's own affairs.

It only hurts the tickets in the eyes of the soulless left. I’m okay with that.

Funny, no one asks about Obama’s two daddies who left him...or the bad grades that got him to Harvard Law...

We will vote with our hearts and minds in November, not empty Marxist policy.

Just more liberal-leftist crap.

Run you cockroaches back to the gutters where you belong and leave America alone!

If she hates babies that much she should vote for someone who actively supports infanticide. I know just the man.

Both Barack Obama and Alexander Hamilton were unplanned pregnancies of teenage mothers. This is a losing issue for the Left, and they (grudgingly) know it.

The left will never stop trying to the right what is important to Conservatives.

The press thinks far too highly of themselves.

This AM I heard a call in to a radio talk show that began “I’m a Republican and a Conservative...” and went on to support arguements that were neither. This kind of talk always makes me suspicious.

Looks like YOU need to get over it. This has nothing to do with Romney, who by the way, is spending his own money and his time working hard to get these two elected.
