Know what REALLY upsets me about Babygate?

There were several ways she could have addressed the "Who is Trig's mother?" situation. She could have:

1. Produced Trig's birth certificate, showing who the parents are;
2. Produced the delivering doctor, who could have definitively said Sarah was the mother;
3. Produced the delivering nurse(s), who could have said the same;
4. Produced her medical records, showing examinations from her pregnancy.

All of these would have left her daughter's current pregnancy a private matter.

Yet, she and McCain CHOSE to reveal Bristol's pregnancy for the sole reason to combat the Trig rumors. And let there be no doubt - it was McCain and Palin that released the news of Bristol's pregnancy. NO "libs" knew about it.

Basically, Palin threw her daughter in the grease so that she could keep her medical records private.

That is poor judgment and HORRIBLE mothering.

NOTE: Here is McCain's spokesperson confirming it was Palin and McCain that revealed Bristol's pregnancy:

I feel so bad for that girl, first she finds out she's pregnant, then she has to tell her mother, who is the governor!

THEN her mother tells THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!


poor baby

BUT
I do agree we need to leave this alone, and concentrate on bigger issues of the campaign ( what the hell is her fiscal policy?). This is yet another distraction

I am so tired, I'll be glad when this is over.

We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.

This is a disgusting set of affairs, and the more I think about it, the madder I get.

Sarah Palin threw her own daughter in the grease. Unbelievable.

The McCain campaign says they were "forced" to reveal Bristol's pregnancy. Force by who????? Utter BULLSHIT. Sarah Palin is a disgrace as a mother, IMHO.

Can you imagine doing this to YOUR child?

And think it through: If the Democrats/"libs" had revealed Bristol's pregnancy, the McCain/Palin campaign would have been fully correct to condemn that and to paint those that leaked the story as vile humans.

But they didn't do that. THEY revealed the pregnancy, and the worst part is THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO.

Palin had many other ways to address the "Trig's mother" BS.

I wouldn't vote for Sarah Palin under any circumstance. This is absolutely the lowest thing I have ever seen a parent do.

What about the baby's father? Maybe he doesn't want to get married, but now he is in this position of getting married. In a way.. this is a very passive-aggressive "shot-gun" wedding!

And now, I read the baby's father and her daughter will be appearing tonight?

Why... so Palin (and the rest of the Republicans) can parade them around?

I'm glad I'm a tennis fan and Rafa Nadal is playing tonight at the open! I think the Williams' sisters are playing, too!

And before everybody jumps on my case for NOT watching this woman: I don't care is she is Mother Theresa incarnate, I will not be voting Republican. In fact, it's the Democratic all the way for me, so I'd rather watch tennis. I cannot wait to vote all Democratic! It will be so much fun. Just one selection for the entire party, cast ballot, and it's done.

Besides, I'm sure Palin's speech will be all over the news and the internet tomorrow!

Oh, come on. The girl is 5 months pregnant. How much of a shelf life do you think that secret (which, by all accounts, wasn't really a secret) had, anyway?

What should they have done? Locked her away somewhere so know one would know? (Like people wouldn't ask, "Where's Bristol?") Treated her like her choice (to bear and keep her child, while marrying the baby's father) is something to be ashamed of?

Or should they have forced her to have an abortion to spare everyone the "shame?"

No, on all counts! They should have raised her the Republican way! NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE!!! Whatever happened to VALUES & MORALITY???

Where the hell did you get that the Republican Party takes any stance on premarital sex? That's just asinine.

Does "abstinence only" ring any bells?

Some Republicans might. Just as some Democrats might. This might come as a shock to you, but political parties are made up of individuals.

It might come as a shock to you but your president supports abstienence only and your party has assaulted sex education and foreign funding that dares to include reality based policies when it comes to reproductive health. Your party has a clear track record when it comes to this and you know it.

As I said earlier, abstinence-only deals with children. Not all Republicans agree with that approach, either.

Reality based is what? Handing out condoms? Yeah, that works well, too.

We should ban the term Babygate.

Actually, saying that a lady with kids can't be President is kind of sexist. We need to be honest about that.

Wave your wildsigns high!!

You know what? Her husband is staying home with the kids, right?

It has nothing to do with her having 5 kids or whatever..

It has everything to do with her "beliefs," and not agreeing with her.

Plus.. I am sorry..

Doesn't anyone in this world value education anymore???? Barack Obama has a law degree from Harvard.. taught constitutional law.. In most other situations, this accomplishment would be admired.

Why isn't his educational background ever brought up?? Why is always about McCain's military experience?

As far as Palin.. she may have been mayor.. She may be governor, but what about her "understanding" of the constitution and social issue? Obama may not have been a mayor or governor, but Obama is highly educated. In any other profession--most other professions.. we look at education... oh but not for President of the U.S.

I value experience, too,.. I value both. But what about education? This woman has a degree in communications and minor in poli-sci.

I dunno. It just makes me so mad.
