The National Enquirer is gonna run a piece of an alleged Palin affair. You can't make this crap up.

Lol, ironically The National Enquirer is last to the party rather than first. At least they were the ones who originally broke the John Edwards affair.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Yeah. But they are breaking something no one else, like the Edward's affairs, would report on. What is hella funny is - the GOP were ROTFL when the Enquirer did it to Edwards - and criticized the MSM for not doing more and covering for him. Wow - now, they are gonna sue. Talk about sore losers.

I came up with a good campaign slogan for her. Hypocrisy We Can Believe In!

Nice... but I've heard that slogan be applied to Obama already. Do to his ties to specific special interests and his changing to more "Traditional" politics on a number of issues.

I'm fascinated to know how someone who grew up in Alaska managed to avoid Canada until her 40s. If true, color me impressed. Way to fight teh Canadia Oppression of Alaska, Sarah. Viva la resistance!

As a Canadian, I'm deeply offended. I just bought two pairs of shoes in Massena NY last weekend.
@ Kaz
You can talk about Obama and have stances, but his smudges can't compare to the truckload of McCain/Palin's dirt. Seriously - all the GOP has on Obama is a connection to attending church with Jeremiah Wright and an old tie to an ex-terrorist from the 70s. McCain and Palin have enough crap to fill at least 25, 30 steamy romance novels.
No, Obama's not perfect, nor am I on the Obama bandwagon - I initially wanted Hillary, but listened to both of them and leaned toward Obama. And I can tell you - I'd vote for Gumby before ever voting for McCain, even if Palin is hella hot.

They should just have to roll over in the street and die if there boyfriend and entire family abandons them for the shame they have brought upon their family name. They should abandon all future hope of getting an education and take a menial job which won't even provide them enough money to pay for childcare so they have to leave the child by himself. Then we should arrest them for neglecting their children, and put the kids into foster care. Then we should leave those kids in foster care because it is more important to worry about kids who aren't born yet (Damn those pro-choice bastards!) than the children who are alive right now. It's their fault for being born! Then we should imprison those kids right when they hit 17, because they are going to commit crime anyways. They don't abide by our standard of working hard and moving up in this country with your own blood, sweat, and tears. Damn, I love America. |
Your claim was that she was a hypocrite, this does not support your claim at all ... In fact, it occured to me that all these claims that Sarah Palin's views on abstinence only as being the reason Bristol was pregnant are also horribly flawed (or atleast we don't have enough information to make that assumption).
There are (essentially) three realistic ways that Bristol's sexual encounter lead to her pregnancy
I think we can all agree that #1 is fairly unlikely unless Bristol was prevented from watching television and surfing the internet ...
Now, if it was #2 you could argue that further sexual education would have driven them to take the necessary precautions, but being that teens that are given excellent sexual education still make this mistake it is by no means certain. In general teenagers are hormonal, irrational and have the belief that they will never suffer the consequences of their actions so even well reasoned arguments are often ignored.
If #3 is the case than this would just demonstrate that even the best funded and highest quality sexual education program in the world would have failed to prevent Bristol's pregnancy. In fact, if this is what happened this only adds further support to Sarah Palin's argument that Abstinence is the only appropriate policy for teenagers.

Well, how would we know what she believes? Your'e not jumping to conclusions are you? A lot of crappy policy has been made that is consistent within crappy belief systems. But spin it any way you want, I guess. |
I agree that lots of bad policies are consistent with people's beliefs, and (in fact) I believe that Sarah Palin's policy decision was wrong, this doesn't change the fact that akuma's claim that it was hypocritical was entirely wrong ...
On top of this, I didn't jump to any conclusions ... I made the stament "If Sarah Palin believes ... " which leaves open the possibility that she doesn't believe that.

You're absolutely right, but I think both Obama and McCain have done a pretty good job keeping lobbyists at an arm's length.
But this is politics in America. If you think either candidate could even possibly be 100% clean you are just deluding yourself. That being said, there are politicians who are cleaner than others, such as Obama and McCain, but no politician is completely clean.

Palin is clearly a wack job any way you cut it, her teenage daughter's pregnancy is the least of her worries. The belief that a pipeline is god's will is probably her biggest problem.
The good news for me though is that I own shares in the company that will be building and operating the pipeline, so with a crazy like that supporting it, it's cash in the bank for me.
