Sarah Palin. The good times just keep coming, don't they? Did the McCain people really do their research on her as they said they did? If so, were all of the things we're now finding out about her OK with them?: belonging to an Alaska secession movement, pregnant 17 year old daughter (even though they're all into the abstinence only programs...), being for the bridge to nowhere until it was politically expedient to be against it, actually appealing to get millions in earmarked money for Alaska and then pretending to be independent and a reformer...the list goes on and on.
If they didn't research her and would have found a problem with all of these revelations, why didn't they? What did they look at? Did they just look at her anti-abortion stance and pro guns stance and the fact that she's a woman? That doesn't cut it. Not by far.
If you were the presidential nominee, wouldn't you look under every rock and around every corner and in every media outlet and find out the deal on your possible VP nominee? Wouldn't you have done a better job in picking someone than McCain? What does that say about McCain's judgment?

I'm starting to feel like I almost want to curl up in a news-free bubble...ugh
I just want to give you some food for thought...When you were 17 years old did you ever do anything your parents told you not to do? Just because Sarah Palin's daughter is pregnant, that doesn't mean we should cast stones. I don't know anyone out there who has never made any mistakes. I respect Barack Obama for taking the high road and not judging this 17 year old girl.
Oh, anonymous, I made all sorts of mistakes when I was 17 years old! I'm not judging this girl--at all. I'm judging her holier-than-thou Republican parents who gave her abstinence only information, rather than serious information about her body and how not to get pregnant.
I'm judging the Republicans for wanting to have the basis of education be ignorance rather than knowledge. That's not what education is about and I feel that they really let this girl down.
I do not want the Republicans anywhere near the bodies of young people--not in talking about them or in enacting legislation about them.
How dare they choose ignorance over knowledge and how dare they insist that everyone drink from that cup.
We don't buy it...
