Mike....Are you becoming a hypocrite, all of the sudden?

Where was your objection when the "Soccer Mom" paraded out her family for the media to see and photograph in an attempt to portray herself as a conservative, religious mother, wife and Governor?

She is the one to introduce her family to the public....does the public not have a right to look beyond the Norman Rockwell portrait she tried to present?

When she portrayed herself as the successful wife and mom....she left out her husband's DWI, her daughter's pregnancy, and a few other details that ... while not all that uncommon among American families....certainly does not set her as any kind of successful role model.

When the Republicans were making fun of the bucktoothed homeliness of Chelsea Clinton (and we did, on many occassions) we felt no remorse when the Democrats called that out of line.

No, Sad to say, I've been a hypocrite most of my life - and you?

I'm not OK with the media using one's family members to ruin a candidate. Apparently you have been in the past and are willing to now.

And before you post regarding my posts on Obama's half brother, that was a demonstration of Obama's hypocrisy on being his brother's keeper which Obama actually stated.

James you're making it up. Perhaps it's a case of transference.

Are you okay with a Candidate parading out his family, kissing his wife, rubbing the hair on the top of his son's head, pretending to be the all-American Dad (or Mom)?

If not, why did you not object when she did it?

If you are okay with it, do you think the world has an obligation to swallow the photo-op at face value, or are we entitled to see what lies beneath the smiles, hugs and kisses?

[James H. Bushart]

Additionally, the VPILF is on the record as being against sex education in schools. She believes that the national policy should be to teach abstinence.

Is it not clear to you, as it is to the rest of the country, that the policies she endorses for a nation have failed in her own home? What does this have to say regarding her abilities as a leader and her judgment?

I think that, in these terms, the pregnancy of her daughter is directly related to her positions as a candidate and is not an invasion of privacy.

It would be no different than if she were a hardliner against economic relations with Cuba and smoked Cuban cigars in her home.

(Not to even mention the possibility of her membership with the NRA being related to the pending "shotgun" wedding.)

When have you ever know a politician who avoids photos ops?

That is certainly less that remarkable.

The savaging of Sarah Palin by left wing bloggers, nervous Obamites, and now the NYT, along with the Democratic leadership means there is probably very little of substance with which to make a case against her.

This has effectively put Obama's qualifications his associations and his lack of experience on the table.

ANY decent parent grieves when they see their sons and daughters make choices that go against the way they were raised.
That's true for you and me as well.

No way, no how. But if you insist then Sarah Palin's reaction and support of her daughter's decision to keep the child and marry the father are what is relevant.

It would be no different than if she were a hardliner against economic relations with Cuba and smoked Cuban cigars in her home.

No it wouldn't and your prose cannot make it so.

(Not to even mention the possibility of her membership with the NRA being related to the pending "shotgun" wedding.)

Now you're just being silly. I have come to expect much more from you.

[James H. Bushart]

No matter what your take is on the VPILF and her pregnant baby....John McCain screwed up.

Today is the second day of the Republican convention when the Republican party is supposed to be putting forth and selling its agenda to the nation....and no one is listening.

Instead...it is the nasty little tid-bits about the VPILF that is hitting the airwaves...in between reports of the damage from the hurricane.

McCain is a POW again, but this time he is imprisoned by his own inabilities to conduct a proper campaign.

You think he would have learned something since his last failure of eight years ago.

[Michael Larson]

Very sad Jim.

Things are often not as they appear or how you imagine them.

What a shocker.
A frustrated liberal woman that hates conservative women.

The party of peace, unity, hope and change is sure busy spewing hate these days.

Just in case some don't read it all, I couldn't let this bit of writing go by without a quote. Great stuff.

"The legacy of Geraldine Ferraro was supposed to be that no one would ever go on a blind date with history again. But that crazy maverick and gambler McCain does it, and conservatives and evangelicals rally around him in admiration of his refreshingly cynical choice of Sarah, an evangelical Protestant and anti-abortion crusader who became a hero when she decided to have her baby, who has Down syndrome, and when she urged schools to debate creationism as well as that stuffy old evolution thing."

Not hate, Mike. Humor.

You see, no one is taking the VPILF seriously. At least, not me.

I can see why many of my Republicans are going to hate to see her lose, after spending so many hours holding up her poster with just one hand....but lose, she will. Not because she isn't hot enough...but because the cancer ridden liberal Republican she is connected with does not have the strategy to win (or to lead).

Yes...a liberal Republican is John McCain, who led the ultra conservative columnist Ann Coulter to declare that she would personally vote for Hillary Clinton before casting a vote for John McCain.

He is the only one of the Keating Five still in office...still bearing the shame from being censored by the Senate for his "poor judgment". His selection of the VPILF is nothing more than a continuation of a long string of "poor judgments".

It will be over soon.

A bit sensitive today, is your time of the month? Try a Midol.
