WaPo: Assessing the Political Impact of Bristol Palin's Pregnancy

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/2008/09/bristol_palin_is_pregnant.html


The possibility that this issue could paint Obama as a bully that is attacking a sixteen yr old kid for a mistake is one reason we all need to get ABOVE THE FRAY!!! This may be an intriguing turn of events but it may make Palin appear a victim. Be careful.

1) candidate for veep lies
2) gets caught in perhaps one of many lies
3) curious people online do research that media refused to do
4) it's all somehow Obama's fault?
5) the most strident, judgemental people on earth consider unwed motherhood in republicans, a sacrament
6) in anyone else, a sin punishable by stoning

seems to me it's up to the MEDIA, to not tell us what COULD happen to US, by learning facts, but instead, to actually start REPORTING those facts so we wouldn't HAVE to..

d'ya think??

If medical bills were covered by insurance, Palin could be guilty of insurance fraud.

insurance will pay for any special care the baby needs. If it's her daughter's it will not. Her insurance doesn't cover grand children.

This could be a felony.

and the birth certificate stories and the muslim rumors? No.

:eyes:

WE are NOT THEM.

THEY are not like WE are.

THEY hold on to things like talking points FOREVER. THEY forgive ANYTHING for their party, right or wrong. THEY do not let go of an inconsistency or a misunderstanding unless it is THEIR misunderstanding or inconsistency.

WE move on to other things with time and let water pass under the bridge. WE hold our OWN accountable. WE recognize when WE have made an error and adjust accordingly.

around the tundra for months even before Sarah was picked for VP..sorry we did not pick this out full blown from our ass..this was a rumor already going around Alaska and they are trying to BLAME OBAMA FOR THE RUMOR...FUCK THE FREY...JUMP RIGHT IN...!

Alrighty.

Seeing as Obama is attempting to stand for me, my family and my country i figured the least i could do is attempt to lessen the weapons against him.

The rumor was in play LONG before we here ever heard of it but now that we know it is nothing but a teen pregnancy and knowing FULL WELL that repugs will ignore ANYTHING (Iraq, illegal spying, McCain's affairs...)for their party continuing to harp on this issue will certainly do more harm than good.

But if you must...have at it.

and smile while shit is thrown in MY face..you can if you want...AND YES VOTES BE DAMNED! Not since Clinton and his butt buddy Carville (rove with a D after his name) have we had a Democratic president and not only that...look how EXTREMELY screwed up things had to get to even get the house back the senate is still theirs as loan as holy joe is the tie breaker!

Fuck all these hypocrites who are damaging young people with their hypocritical values.

which could well be further hypocrisy, another lie.

Where is the incontrovertible evidence?

Sure, though, this one could be left to simmer for a while, while other angles of attack are diligently pursued.

Interesting to observe, though, the kind of material that, for once, does make it into the Corporate Media.

Meanwhile, for example, has WAPO reported or even commented on what's been going down in the Twin Cities (I refer to those outside the convention center), and if so, applying what spin?

Palin refuses to teach her kid about condoms, kid gets knocked up, but somehow it's all OBAMA'S fault???

THE MIND REELS!!!!!!

:shrug:

year old daughter pregnant. They are fucking hypocrites who need to be exposed. The only victims here are the millions of teenagers who are not receiving proper birth control instructions thanks to their fucked up asinine policies which their own children do not appear to be following.

Fuck everyone of them and their supporters. They are in no position to judge me.

If it is clear that doing what we are is possibly HELPING her we should stop now. Repugs let the leaders that are chosen for them get away with (literally) murder. Pointing out their hypocrisy just makes them bite down harder. I say we destroy her on issues that almost everyone in this country can agree on. The economy, the war... Faced with these issues she will not stand a chance.

Or are we talking about her pregnant daughter. Her daughter being pregnant is NOT EVEN INCONSISTENT with her views on sex ed. She wants parents to be able to decide what their children are taught about sex. Apparently she taught hers that birth control is bad.

What DU is talking about today is the fact that Palin's daughter got pregnant. Sex before marriage is what we are talking about. Is it a hypocritical thing in the Palin family to have a pregnant high schooler in light of their religious beliefs. You betcha. Is that particular hypocrisy going to help or hurt our candidate? If our candidate is hurt by this their views will be further thrust on OUR CHILDREN.
