Quick political complaint
Apparently Sarah Palin, McCain's pick for vice president, has a daughter who is now 5 months pregnant. I guess they revealed this because of all the speculation going around the internet about the youngest kid in the Palin clan (5 months or something?) actually belonging to said daughter. Now, I don't care about all that crap. What I am pissed off about is that everybody seems to be OK with this. Sarah, who has been a strong advocate for abstinence until marriage, is OK with it. The Christian supporters of McCain are OK with it. Why does this piss me off? Because if Palin was on the democratic ticket, there would be no end to the yelling about how the kid is "irresponsible" and such. Hooray for hypocrisy!
I know, the whole thing is stupid when our focus should be on the policies of both candidates, I just wanted to point out just another case of Republican hypocrisy.
I'druther expierence and leadership elected to office with leadership as backing than,
lacking of both elected and only expierence as a backup.
About the sexism? I tune that out. To me, all thats about is static.

caution - website and video may cause offense.
I don't expect her to condemn her daughter. I didn't say anything about what I expect her to do. I just pointed out what I thought was a bit of hypocrisy. That's all.
Here's the hypocrisy:
James Dobson of Focus on the Family approves of unmarried teen pregnancy, as long as it's a white Republican unmarried teen.
If it was anyone else, he would be yelling his ass off about it.
Besides, character attacks - and even worse, attacks on a politician's children - is the lowest form of politics.
