Speaking of integrity, why don't you cite an example where conservatives
en-masse condemned a Democrat with a pregnant teenage daughter? the
very fact that you and I cannot think of one is telling, because you
know good and well it must be happening every week or so. It's a
non-issue, unless there are no other issues.
Your pontifications are bloated with generalities and opinions, and
very scant on facts. I'll bet you have a mirror in front of your monitor
so you can admire your sage visage as you type.
There is plenty of hypocrisy to go around, and you certainly have
your share.


Chuckle...and Teddy Kennedy, who killed his pregnant girlfriend, by
drowning her in a car...is still a revered Democrat Icon

The fascinating element is contemplating the conniption fits which
the left would be throwing, had it come out that MCCain had not chosen
Palin "because she had a special needs child, and a pregnant unwed
daughter."

The fireworks would have been glorious.

I can't speak for the left and I know you sure as Hell can't. But I can say
If you told me a woman had a family to raise with five children in it and
the youngest one has Down's Syndrome, she had to be one hard working woman.
If you then threw in the fact that she was 44 years old AND had a pregnant
17 year old daughter I would think that woman won't get a moment's rest.
That is one heavy load for one person to bear. So if a woman in that
situation said that she had to turn down any other obligations because she
couldn't do her job as a mother and then have to take on even more
responsibilities I would think she was pretty wise. But Palin has shown me
two things; one is that she knew she was pregnant with a defective fetus and
went ahead and had the baby anyway, she also had to know that getting
pregnant at 43 was taking a big chance and what happened was not a surprise.
She also made the decision to have a huge responsibility for that family and
then go on and take on a full time political job too. Both of those
decisions look like stupid ones to me. When someone makes big choices like
she did it shows me her decision making ability, and it's not very good. Had
she decided that just raising that big family was plenty for her to handle
at this time I would have thought she had good sense. Now I don't

In other words, Sarah Palin is able to handle things that would kill
you, and you are jealous of her.
