Palin's Pregnancy Problem
Washington Post ^ | 1 Sep 2008 | Sally Quinn

Posted on 09/01/2008 4:38:24 PM PDT by Mr Rogers

My first reaction was shock. Then anger. John McCain chose a running mate simply because she is a woman and one who appealed to the Republican's conservative evangelical base. Now, with news that Palin's 17-year-old unmarried daughter is pregnant, McCain's pick may not even find support among "family values" voters...This may be a hard one for the Republican conservative family-values crowd to swallow. Of course, this can happen in any family. But it must certainly raise the question among the evangelical base about whether Sarah Palin has been enough of a hands-on mother.

There were women at CBS who were much more qualified than I was and certainly other men. They chose me because they wanted a woman. I didn't even want the job, but I didn't feel I could turn it down. Of course it was a disaster.

Of course. Why didn't they choose one of the more qualified women?

The daughter is going to marry the baby's father! Liberals are really dumb. They think religious values voters can't understand the context and are stupid rubes. There's nothing hypocritical here!

And funny, ANYTHING they say can and will be used against Obama (whose out of wedlock mother had him at 18 years of age)

Absolutely. LOL. It's really quite funny.

agreed

She has done nothing wrong and has proved that she deals with issues like any other average American

I just hope that people sit there while watching the foolish channel CNN and they see the headline that keeps saying Palins teenage daughter pregnant

I hope they sit there and say er what er don’t get it, what news is this, has any laws been broken , this is just stupid

This may not bother some folks. It sure makes me uneasy.

Reagan was an optimist. Learn it. Live it. Love it.

Quinn is pissed because McCain’s choice is a traitor to feminists... a strong, pro-life governor. Had Mac picked a pro-choice women, Quinn would be singing her praises. The hypocrisy of the left, especially some of the feminist left, is becoming so thick that we’ll all need hip waders to get through it soon.

But she [Barbara Bush] said nothing can prepare you for the criticism and scrutiny of being in the White House. Sarah Palin is not prepared for that.

Um, are you listening to yourself? Because nothing could prepare you for that.

My thoughts exactly. I wasn’t sure I was going to vote for McCain unless his VP choice was solid. I am satisfied with his choice of Gov. Palin. This phony controversy does not change my opinion. I feel sorry for the girl being drug through the mud. Libs have no shame.

Didn’t Sally Quinn (in younger days) break up her present husband’s family - and get him to divorce his wife in order to marry her? So what is worse, being a home wrecker, and causing a family extreme pain, or Ms. Palin’s getting pregnant before she married the father?

Sally Quinn is a low life, selfish hypocrite who doesn’t give a damn about the pain she causes others.

“I believe Sally Quinn has one child, who is handicapped.”

That poor child! Imagine being raised by Sally Quinn - handicapped doesn’t begin to describe that poor child’s situation.

I'm not the only to notice that Sally Quinn has NO understanding of religious people

Oh, but you're wrong. Didn't you know - Sally Quinn has suddenly become the EXPERT on religion!

How do I know this? I heard her on the Imus radio show a few weeks ago, trying desperately to cover for Obama's old rev - Jeremiah Wright. (We benighted white folks "just don't understand" Wright.)

Sally Quinn, you see, a "former" atheist who by her own description never bothered thinking about religious affairs in the past (she thought religion was just for yahoos), has taken up a new hobby!

She has joined with that other esteemed "expert" on religion, journalist Jon Meacham of Newsweek, to instruct us typical white folk about real religion. Now she is far more qualified than you or I to dispense pearls of wisdom. /s

Cleft palate, according to a post up the thread. I assume they had the surgery to repair the problem.

The idiots at the Washington Post gave Sally a column in the religious section and she is an admitted atheist.

My question 2 you is: Do you take offense to his (Mike Huckabee’s) trashing Mormons (cause that was classless), or Do you take offense to him trashing Romney??

Cause I trash Romney, not because of his religion (though I dissagree w/it), but because he is a liberal (in Republican clothing..)?!

Absolutely, I support Palin. She has given me reason to work for and to vote for a ticket. I haven’t had that feeling in 30 years.

That said, I was responding to an off topic comment about the health of the “Biden/Obama Ticket”.
