I just figured out what the sex ed ad was about (well, I have a hunch)

At least I think so. Remember, in the 2000 GOP campaign, how the Bushies used the "black baby" slur to piss McCain off into doing some stupid shit?

I'm wondering if the sex ed ad was designed to generate snide comments about Bristol Palin from anonymous Obama staffers. To which the McCrappies would respond in righteous indignation.

So, any chance this is the (a?) reason for the ad?

1. No. McCain and his bunch are assholes

Mostly because they are Republicans.

4. Yeah, it is.

But I don't think it was to push Obama-Biden staffers to say something about Bristol. That hypocrisy is something we can point out. Remember Obama and Biden said "hands off" to family members and they're focused on McCain and Palin.

Besides, this isn't the first time this has come up. It came up in his senate race against Keyes and again earlier this primary season. McCain has taken a new tact but Obama has handled this before and with dignity. I'm sure they're working on it.

5. Idiots all

What these people are overlooking is that sex education for kindergarteners means lessons about "Stranger Danger" and inappropriate touches to areas that are covered by bathing suits, etc. You better hope we're teaching our little angels about these things. God help them all if we're not. McCain is just using this issue to scare those who don't understand about early childhood curriculum. We've been teaching these kinds of things for years with the approval of school boards all over the country. What a lame argument.
