People like that are the reason why I hate my party(Republican that is)! I mean come on people it is the 21st century and you can't force your beliefs on everyone else you know. God! I hate this party so much!

Paranoid Conservatives...trying took make the media responsible for the public's interest and surprise at this news.

Anonymous bloggers, or people posting on liberal blogs may have said cruel things about Bristol Palin (though I don't think any of the more established blogs have anything less then respectful of the Palin's).

Are conservative commentators upset that his out-of-wed lock, teenage pregnancy was revealed at all? That's hardly the "liberal media's" fault. The liberal media didn't announce Bristol Palin's pregnancy, the liberal media didn't MAKE Bristol pregnant. So, what are conservatives upset about. That the pregnancy has received attention at all?

Holy,Holy republians almight, non sinful people, when ever you are caught in your sinful ways, you start calling people names, this time around you are not getting away with this. 17 year old pregant out of wedlock, what about that.

Next Laura Ingraham will say its my fault - that I'm the one who had pre-marital sex with Bristol Palin and got her pregnant.

I promise, I'll do the right thing and marry Bristol...just as soon as I get Obama elected.

I hear you David from Texas! I especially liked Thompsons speech.

What's important is not a mistake a 17 year old girl made, whats important is the future of our country.

The RNC crowd was chanting U-S-A! at the DNCC they were chanting O-B-A-M-A!

That tells me a lot.

I think the media is doing the job that Mccain's campaign didn't do: vetting the vice presidential candidate so that we Americans can make an informed choice. Way to go ABC!

Damn straight, Culture Wars!!

Throw down, mfers!

We'll take you a@@holes down hard!!!

You'll be lucky if you can crawl home to your doublewide!

This is insane. This type of rhetoric only divides Americans further apart. The fact is, Palin's daughter is off limits. No one, NO ONE, is questioning her family's decisions. To suggest that Dems would celebrate an abortion is just f***ing outrageous! The real issue is whether or not you think McCain or Obama is better placed to lead this great country.

First to the media - Duh? Of course they are biased (different candidates for different networks) with competing agendas. Who is naive and believes that the mainstream media is impartial? They (the media) are fake and the majority of Americans are blinded by party and incapable of critical thinking; this is, of course, a dangerous cocktail. Neo-cons and neo-libs with their personal media megaphones are playing a good number of the American public like fiddles and fools and laughing along the way. Some day, the American public will wake up...but it won't happen this cycle.

Good Luck.

I am extremely impressed with the Palin family's handling of this situation. The easy road from a publicity standpoint would have been abortion. They are setting a wonderful example to the world of how to handle an unexpected pregnancy--they are choosing love and life over hate and death.

BTW, KB, the RNC crowd was chanting 'USA' because they can set aside politics and know what sacrifice for one's country means. Those shouting 'Obama' sound very cult-ish. Are we electing a president for the nation or for himself? Hmmmm.

The difference between the conservative and liberal families is that a.) the liberal families are less likely to have pregnant unwed teenage daughters since their parents are supporting sex ed in school b.) if there was a pregnant unwed daughter, their mothers would have the good sense not to be exposing their daughter's tawdry sex lives to run for vp, and c.) if you're going to cast the first stone on everyone else's family values that disagee with yours, you better have a hell of a family to protect you from all the stones everyone else is going to throw back at you.

By the way - contrast the RNConvention tonight with that of the Ron Paul "Rally for the Republic" (

Good Luck.

It is most unlikely that The "majority" of the sheeple will wake up any time soon because they are all too enarmored of George Stepanopholis' hairdoo. And Brian Williams dimples and Katey Curics latest face lift. Do you actually think any of them are listening to what the media has to feed them?? Get real

post cut off (moderated?)

...and tell me, McCain supporters, what do you think is the future of the Republican Party?

Before you ask...no, we are not going away.

Good Luck

So Sarah Palin is Pastey McBush's VP choice.  Wow!  What a testament to women and the "no experience" argument.  I know I'll certainly feel calm if he's elected because now we know if the old geezer croaks in office, the most powerful leader in the free world will be pretty AND ready to serve.  After all, the Big Mac lists her accomplishments as:  current PTA member, NRA lifelong member, former mayor, governor of our 48th most populous state, and working hockey-mom.  Whew!  That mayor's job of less than two years is a comfort.  If we get in pothole discussions with Iran or North Korea, she's our gal.  If there is a dispute over the size of business signs in Pakistan, she'll know how to resolve it.  And with her experience in redrawing boundaries and annexing neighborhoods for better revenue, all our Middle East conflicts will evaporate. 

Since her state legislature only meets 90 days a year, she’s had time to exercise AND work on that resume. So what if she can’t list all those things on Joe Biden’s vita like: Harvard Law Review, longtime member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, constitutional law professor, author of the Violence Against Women Act (which federalized domestic violence as a crime) state senator, and is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee? Heck, she looks smart, and she’s young, too. We can cross our fingers that she can do OJT.

And thank goodness she has five kids, one of whom is five months old with Down's syndrome.  Can’t beat that. As a 44-year-old who doesn't believe in birth control, maybe she'll even have a few more. Take her “abstinenance only” stand. That sure is the way to go; just ask her 17-year-old-daughter!  Mrs Palin (she’d never go by Ms) will have a big heart about making sure all our children in the USA have health care, and that all our single moms will have the benefit of a husband who can stay at home while they're working out of town. Come to think of it, she'll probably throw in a nanny tax credit for the poor.  Now that's progress!

I'm also so happy that finally we have a politician that hasn't frequented prostitutes or had affairs.  Between salon appointments, she's been too busy seeing that schools teach creationism, and that is just ducky.  Now that we know the Earth has only been around for 6,000 years (it says so in Genesis), no child will be left behind, and their test scores will go way up because they won't have so much history to learn.  Yippee!  

Best of all, she's a former beauty pageant runner-up which ensures that the Miss America and Miss Universe competitions will once again get the major network Saturday nights' exposures they used to have before those damn feminists messed things up.  I'm so glad Johnny Mac realized that any broad is a broad, and what their position on any issue is is irrelevant.  Just think, one can vote against the major women’s issues of the last two decades and still make it to runner-up Prez! As long as dames have designer glasses, good legs and a regular period, they're interchangeable.  And I'll betcha a Starbuck's gift card that Palin can whip up a double light espresso with a touch of cream and cinnamon faster than you can say, "June Cleaver."

Choosing Anita Bryant, er, Sarah Palin was a stroke of genius. That'll show them damn Hillary fans that can't make up their mind. Attention everyone.... good ole maverick John McCain IS progressive and anti-Washington, and when that call comes at 3AM, he has now shown that he’s not afraid to make a quick decision and take a risk.

Lord help us.

Obama believes in the teachings of the Black Liberation Church. Obama believes in the teaching of Bill Ayers, the terrorist. Obama believes in the political/business arrangements of Tony Rezko. Obama does not believe in decency and hard working Americans who chose to live on their own through responsibility. Obama believes in socialism and communism and Black Power.

The Republicans believe they are never to be put under the media review. If you have doubt, look at the way the Bush Administration functioned with a disregard for oversight; they have the gall to disregards Congressional subpoenas. Sara Palin is an unknown and he media has the Fourth Estate responsibility to inform the American people about this person. If John McCain made a mistake, so be it as the media vetting process is working. The Republicans need to show maturity and stop the whining.

--wtf--You are wrong. The AA girls are much more likely to have babies out-of-wedlock and HIV. Teaching sex education in school has done little to help in that area. All people should be taught self-responsibility. Just say no. There are 3/4 more AA babies born than all other races to very young girls and women who can not even providse for themselves, little on a baby.

Candidates families are off limits? Someone should tell that to John McCain:

Just one example:

McCain famously made a tasteless joke about Chelsea Clinton back in ‘98.
A crude joke about a sitting president's daughter.

The Washington Post noted that the joke "was too vicious to print."

You self-righteous, sanctimonious right-wingnuts, get over yourselves, vicious personal attacks and slander of Democratic politicians and their families is really all you do. Laura Ingraham has built her entire career on personal attacks.

======================================

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.”

– Sen. John McCain, speaking to a Republican dinner, June 1998.

Chelsea was 18-years old at the time.

Hey Palin Fans!

Sarah has a nut case Pastor too!! His name is Ed Kalnins.

A review of recorded sermons by Ed Kalnins, the senior pastor of Wasilla Assembly of God since 1999, offers a provocative and, for some, eyebrow-raising sketch of Palin's longtime spiritual home.

That means there are videos!!!!

The church runs a number of ministries providing help to poor neighborhoods, care for children in need, and general community services. But Pastor Kalnins has also preached that critics of President Bush will be banished to Hell...

Questioned whether people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to heaven, he charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and war in Iraq were part of a war "contending for your faith;" and said that Jesus "operated from that position of war mode."

And if the political storm over Barack Obama's former pastor Jeremiah Wright is any indication, Palin may face some political fallout over the MORE controversial teachings of Wasilla Assembly of God.

Gee, I remember the fuss all you Republicans made about Obama's Rev. Hope you don't mind if we do the same thing, OK!!!

Palin, the GIFT that keeps on giving!!!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!
