Your post is great! A friend and I have discussed the fact that we baby our kids beyond what is rational. We have put a number on what is considered adult instead of teaching our kids how to be an adult.

"After days of speculation as to why the party’s former vice presidential candidate was absent from the GOP rebranding effort, U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., announced Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, is now part of the national campaign to remake the party Ronald Reagan built."

From "Tarp is GOD" Cantors own office!!!! Disssing Reagan!!!

What is your problem with that? Many people make mistakes.
She had regular sex with one guy. That isnt unusual after the first experience.

I would bet she is practicing abstinence now.

Abstinence works.

Sarah needs to have this conversation with Bristol:

“Bristol! Come here. What’s the matter with you? I think your brain’s going soft with all that comedy you’re playing with that young man. Never tell anyone outside the Family what you’re thinking again! Go on.”

Where are you getting this stuff? You need to be deprogrammed. Bristol was and possibly still is a player. She has an opportunity to make money off her “mistake”. I for one will not speak respectfully of her if she is in the news and my teenage son or daughter are in the room, if anything I have to explain how she got to be the spokesperson and that she is benefiting from her teenage pregnancy and if it happens to you it will not be as glamorous. She needs to GO AWAY!

Why is the MSM so obsessed with Sarah Palin and her family? Are they that afraid of her?

She is just as bad as Levi.

I see. In your mind, publicly talking about abstinence as the ultimate form of birth control is equivalent to going on TV and Radio and talking about how often and where non-abstinent acts occurred?

It did purify her in a way because if you watched the interview you couldn’t help but think she is a sweet and modest person, kinda like her Mom.

“Where are you getting this stuff?”

exactly which part of my “stuff” are you taking offense to?

” Bristol was and possibly still is a player.”

Oh really? You know this how?
Who has she been playing with?

I don’t think this looks glamorous at all.
This situation looks embarrassing and painful.

They announced their engagement to the nation a few months ago and now the so-called responsible dad who was going to step-up is a regular on trash tv.

This is a great teachable moment to my teens.

“See! before the baby they relied on condoms and thought abstinence wasn’t for them.
Now she is caring for an infant while the dad humiliates her.
How could this have been avoided kids?”....

If you hate Sarah so much head on over to Huffington post, you’ll be among your own there.

I can picture the interviews now “ Mrs. Palin, your daughter Bristol is the Teen Ambassador for The Candie’s Foundation, I understand that she is paid for her appearances, how much was she paid? How do you think this makes her an example of the consequences of teen pregnancy? Is this really giving young girls a true picture of teen pregnancy? Don’t you think she is glamorizing and using her pregnancy for personal gain? Then Palin give a canned answer that doesn’t really answer the question. GOP look like a bunch of ignorant hypocrites.

“Believe it or not there were conservatives before Saint Sarah.”

Fair point but who among them are young and viable and who among them scare the libs?

Tom Dachle should go on “tour” on the merits of fileing and paying Taxes on time as a form of patriotism. He could start in the US Congress, and give forum to every state congress.................or is he too busy as a lobbyist and the Obama Admin?

Ever notice, the Left lives in a 50 gal. drum of hypocrisy...but jumps into a ocean of hypocrisy when they have a chance to make the right try and live up to rules.
Alsinksy rule # 7 or something......

They are not obsessed the Palin’s won’t go away, Bristol became Teen Ambassador for The Candie’s Foundation, they hired her for this because of her high profile. The foundation wants publicity and Bristol is willing to use her pregnancy to sell it to them.

Wrong. If you want proof read the news. Look how they (and you) try to destroy her.

All politicians are hypocrites, but most are not held up for Sainthood and have a cult following.

Then they can ignore her, right? They don’t seem to think so.
