McCain/Palin: The Pro-Pedophile Ticket
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dan-sweeney/mccainpalin-the-pro-pedop_b_125333.html

<snip>

But, of course, there is always a kernel of truth in the best attack ads -- after all, an ad entirely based on lies gets ripped up in the press far more easily than one in which caveats must be tossed around. In this case, a piece of legislation that went through the Illinois Senate, one that was not authored by Obama, and never became law, would have mandated teaching kids in kindergarten to look out for sexual predators. It would have explained the concepts of "good touches" and "bad touches." It would have given children the knowledge they need to guard against some of the most terrible monsters out there. And if parents had a problem with the lesson, they would have had every right to pull their kids out of the class.

So, given that -- and to turn a phrase often bandied about by that Great American Sean Hannity -- America has the right to ask, "Why are John McCain and Sarah Palin enabling pederasts?" After all, if they're against this legislation, then who are they looking out for, exactly? Who benefits? In this case, the primary beneficiaries appear to be molestation enthusiasts. Clearly, McCain and Palin are going after that all-important pedophile vote. There is no other explanation.

3. Here's the Bill (I'm pretty sure).
Maybe Bristol would've benefitted from this legislation

4. And it ought to be mentioned that

1) Palin is against sex education. (and that has worked out well for her famly, hasn't it?)

2) Wasilla has a very high rate sex offenders - 135 in a town of 6000.
(See http://www.city-data.com/so/so-Wasilla-Alaska.html)

3) As mayor, Palin charged rape victims several hundred dollars for the rape kits that were used by police--I assume this included those under 18.

4) She heself was warned by judge that what she and her family were doing in relationship to her brother-in-law was a form of child abuse.

5) She doesn't belive that victims of rape or incest should be allowed to have an abortion.

6) She hired a sex-offender to replace a state official she fired.

Weave that into an attack ad about their pro-pedophile position!
