I am sorry that is my defense mode.

I feel like that new guy in HS this getting ganged up on because he doesn't know anyone to back him up...

Why is it a good thing this was brought to light? Now bristol and her husbend will be harassed by the media. The reason this was not public already was because they WANTED to respect the young lady's privacy.

I'm sorry, but if you are running for the second highest office in our entire country, your entire life is going to be scrutinized.  This is how elections have been since this country began (albeit we can probe into people's lives much easier now than we could). 

But to act like scandals are a new thing is very short-sighted.  They have been around for hundreds if not thousands of years, same with political propaganda.

Edit: And how is this any less valid a thing to focus on than the Rev. Jeremiah Wright debacle?  He was the pastor of Obama's church, but this is Palin's DAUGHTER.  They obviously have a more direct connection.

It is comparisons like this that start flame fest which then lead to people calling other people childish.

Lets see, Obama went to a church (which usually mean you beleive what they preach there) where the pastor common made racist and anti american remarks, which you compared to Sarah's daughter have a baby... #1 is Sarah had gotten pregnant by another man then yes. This would be a HUGE scandel. If anything this will help many American families identify with her. Her family is facing a challenge that is very common in our country, and they are handling it the right way....

I really do not see the comparison. It is about the same as the Hitler comparison you think I made.

 

Also to Super, the reason political flames escalate so quickly is because the material in question actually matters in the grand scheme of things... In 5 years no one is going to care if KH3 was on the Wii or PS3... but they will care about who is elected.

 



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
