Palin's Social Views Hurt Ticket

I had dinner last night with a Republican-leaning independent who was despondent over John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. She had been looking forward to supporting McCain as a fiscal conservative with a deep understanding of foreign relations. But all she could now see was that picture of Palin's pregnant 17-year-old looking defiant and stupid as she held mom's fifth baby.

Many religious conservatives are jubilant. They regard Palin as a swell choice because her high-schooler was going to have the baby. The line sent my friend into shock. This is not a matter of abortion politics, she said, but of managing one's own affairs.

"Don't they have birth control up in Alaska?" she asked....

Thanks for those graphics in post 95.

But I’ve got to ask a favor...could you check the linkage?
All I get is “not found” when I click them.

Thanks in advance...for at least giving it a try!

I just dashed off an e-mail to this reporterette, hope to hear back from her. Do you think I was clear enough (see below)

Hey Froma, I want to invite you out to my place in California, I have enough land to do some agriculture and thought you would be the perfect Green source for a significant amount of free fertilizer. Considering how much BS you have in your article, including the old Liberal canard “I spoke to a Republican the other day” I figured you would generate a bumper crop.

Let me know when you can come on out, I will get the tractor spooled up and we can plop your liberal butt on the backside and get er done!

Come on down!

Whacha think?

"Don't they have birth control up in Alaska?" she asked

You know what kind of "birth control" she's talking about, don't you?

"Don't they have abortion services up in Alaska ?"

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment

Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

steve-b seems to share the author’s feelings that Sarah should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

No one seems to be asking why Joe Biden didn't become a stay-at-home dad, at least temporarily, to care for and emotionally support his two remaining and seriously injured children when their mother (his wife) and infant daughter were killed in a car accident. In Palin's case, at least, there is a father involved to help out with the child raising. I can't understand how he (Biden) could have done that.

__________________________________________

"In 1966, while in law school, Biden married Neilia Hunter. They had three children, Joseph R. 'Beau' Biden III, Robert Hunter, and Naomi Christina ('Amy'). His wife and infant daughter died in a car accident shortly after he was first elected to the Senate in 1972. His two sons, Beau and Hunter, were seriously injured in the accident, but both eventually made full recoveries.

Biden was sworn into office from their bedside. Persuaded not to resign in order to care for them, Biden began the practice of commuting an hour and a half each day on the train from his home in the Wilmington suburbs to Washington, D.C., which he continues to do."

Want to see how scared the dems are? They just took this vote away from the people of Ohio today with the promise of everything being taken care of after obama gets elected.

Both the author and her friend are twits.
The left is doing all they can to go after Palin and her family.
It exposes the complete vileness of the Democratic Party.

KEVMO, you’re a good guy and I love your enthusiasm, but please stop spamming all Palin threads with the same content.

Sorry about that, too much a hurry I guess. Try This

or this

Froma Harrop evidently didn’t get the memo to lay off the kid. “Stupid and defiant” applied to the Obama daughters would get her run out of liberal journalism on a rail. And if she knows any “Republican-leaning independents” I’m Mickey Mouse.

I hear that Rhode Island has a Republican governor, who is not too bad, considering what part of the country he comes from.

I’ve seen the future and she looks good.

I live in Ohio. We should be glad the sick days issue is off the ballot. It was going to pass, and not only that, it was going to provide an impetus for Obama voters to turn out at the polls.

The legislature can't do worse than what the issue would have done.

Froma Harop=media RAT. What did you expect her to write?

Stevie-boy is thrilled to death that Harrop wrote this.

[torchthemummy]

LOL!

[ozzymandus]

Ya know, I had dinner with 30 million commieRAT leftards last week, and they’re all going to vote for McCain just because of Palin. (I should be a “reporter”)

[Kevmo]

You know why Free Republic is so slow this morning? Because about a million new energized conservative activists are checking it out. They don’t jump from thread to thread like you do.

So the answer is, for now, no. But thanks for being polite about it.
