let the games begin.
Republicans cannot afford to allow the main issues, the economy, the war, health insurance, taxes to be the issue right now. They first need to define Palin as a mother, just like "you and me". Once that has been established it is going to be virtually impossible to criticize her for anything.
For now, anyway, the polls and the MSM coverage is showing that people aren't really selling what Palin is buying. I want to see what happens after she delivers what I'm sure will be a good speech tonight. Will the MSM still come down on her or will she suddenly become the new media darling?
Let me also say that the articles like the one by Dr. Laura are not helping. For many working mothers the job is a necessity, many already feel guilty about leaving their children and Dr. Laura is making them feel more guilty. In Palin, mother of 5, they may identify and feel they are validated because the new VP pick seems to have conquered the working mother dilemma.
They have money. They have built in child care with the older kids. They have a proper male/female family with all the perks that ensures. Wife and I are overeducated blue-collar, paycheck to paycheck types with another son 4 years older. Big brother helps lots, but cannot parent. I can't choose to fire the cook to save money, I am the cook. So our pro-choice choice to not abort a DS baby, is it more heroic than a "pro-lifer"'s choice to not abort, or less or equal? I at least know the founding fathers did not write the pledge of akegiance(typing going downhill-sleeping 4 year old just crwled into my lap) , does this mean I'm nearly as qualified as her to be VP?
All I know is that a mom who is raising a DS son, I will honor her right to her choice, but find it personally reprehensible, especially the circus her poor 17 year old is now exposed to. Family values my ass.
The RNC has only 2 more days (primetime hours) to convince the majority middle class what is going to be done for our economy. Last night Bush and others went back to their own tired old talking points once again and addressed the audience about how safe we are from terrorists and freedom is on the march for all of God's children.
Come on guys and gals of the right, vote to save these children and this family...vote for Bob Barr.

Interesting.
Why isn't all the gossip that usually comes from tv pundits talking about the completely debilitating split in the Republican Party? Will it survive?
Can the the good people of American's heartland TRUST a broken Republican Party to lead in these difficult times?!!!
Someone on tv must ask these questions 24 hours a day for a solid week.
There is noting like some fundy woman out in public telling other women to stay in the house- does absolutely no one see the rank hypocrisy in that?
I said last Saturday on here that I use to listen to her.
And I KNEW she would NOT be pleased.
About 10 years ago I was walking thru the Marriott Wardman Hotel here in DC.
There was this big event going on ..it was around 11:30pm.
I walked right in with a friend of mine. The band was playing and we went in and started dancing.. Not more than a minute later, Dr. Laura and Colin Powell were dancing next to me. LOL
Dr. Freakin Laura is opposed to her? Wow, just, plain, simple, wow...
It gets better every day...
Do you plan to watch Gov. Sarah Palin's address to the GOP convention?

Yes Dr. Laura.
Thank You.
Sarah Palin has put "Country First" and not her family first.
Thank You Dr. Laura
Wanna bet she has a beef with that too?
I never would have dared imagine that McCain could blow his VP choice like this. Not only is the woman demonstrably corrupt, with a hypocritical adherence to their precious "values", but any attempt to establish her dubious bona fides puts McCain in the same "inexperienced" light as Obama. It's a blunder of absolutely historical proportions. But they are "conservatives", so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
As much as I may disagree with Dr. Laura on various issues, I at least respect her in this instance not turning into a complete hypocritical shill for the GOP.

you stinking pile of filth, clean up your own house (you know, your shithead son with his sick porno / S&M gore site) before you start talking about family fucking values you dried out husk of a human.
(Come to think of it, given her AIP leanings, I'm not even sure she sees a difference between her state and country.)
However, it brings me great happiness and LAUGHTER to see how the GOP is dividing itself even more.
Living it and loving it!

What a role model for conservative kids. Might as well make Jamie Lynn Spear's Mom the Surgeon General.
How do you tell you teenage daughter that even though Pop Stars find it cool to get pregnant while being a teenager and besides our female VP nominee has a daughter who is sporting the trend, how do you tell them that it is not so cool to get pregnant? Aren't all the cool girls doing it?
Nice Vetting, JOHN!
In Sarah Palin's case, she knew before John McCain made his offer that she had a "special needs" baby at home as well as a 17 yr old pregnant daughter. And yet, despite a home situation where she obviously couldn't be needed more, she accepted McCain's VP offer and did so willingly and even enthusiastically. She's put these two babies secondary and accepting one of the most demanding jobs in the world. As a rising political star, she could have easily waited a few years before getting into national politics, but choose not to.
That tells us volumes about Palin's priorities and her family values?
...The enemy of my enemy who's our enemy = LINKABLE! LOL.
Irony, within an irony, with a cherry on top. - Or not, I guess, the cherry's gone.

Must quote CORRECTLY!
On the flip side, I do believe she has some undeniably great role-modeling going on now. She's been married to one man, gives a strong statement to her prolife commitment, continues to lead her teenage child who made a big mistake, to choose her steps thereafter.
