I agree. I would not let my 17 year old daughter marry not even to legitimize a pregnancy. I would do everything in my power to end that relationship with a young man who calls himself a redneck who wants to kick ass. What kind of husband and father figure will he be.

I can't get over the image of them parading and using that baby for backdrop either. I'm sure he should have been resting, even if he were a baby without challenges he should have been safely tucked in bed after a warm bath and bottle and sound asleep by 11:00 p.m.

Your question begs an answer, what kind of woman/parent is she. Her children are paying the price for her and John McCain's desires.

So is Bridget. She will forever be remembered as the baby that they “brought home”. My mother said she wouldn't want to hear that every time her name was mentioned.

This stuff is unbelievable.

And if McCain so wants to change things, why hasn't he? He's been in Washington for 25 years – what has he been waiting for?

I keep thinking if it was my daughter, I would be beside myself for her to marry at 17…pregnant or not! Don't you think this is compounding the problem? But in Sarah's case, that doesn't jibe with her ambitions. Heaven forbid that her family should get in the way of the right wing agenda.

Then there's a Down Syndrome baby that being passed around at 11pm at night, in a noisy auditorium. No blanket, no carrier…just passed from hand to hand. A special needs baby exposed to a large crowd, in a public place, full of bacteria and viruses. This is perverse. But everyone is so caught up they can't see it….or maybe they're afraid of being called sexist.

What kind of woman is this that doesn't protect the most vulnerable members of her family? Can she then be expected to protect the American people? This is a woman who will shoot animals with a rifle, that's who she is. Everybody thinks it was a joke when her husband said “she's not wired right.”

The black republican is also speaking the gospel truth. What a mockery that was parading that pregnant CHILD around for the entire world to see.

And if there is a marriage between those two children, Bristol will be another statistic.

And what ever happened to the issues?

I would vore for a stone who wanted to get out of Iraq. In this election that person happens to be Barack and yes we share a skin tone but I swear I would vote for an alien if that was the only way out

What about the state of the economy?
They have yet to offer an economic policy that does not smell like Reaganomics. UNTIL McCain does that even if he resurrects MLK to prove that he was a Republican my vote will not get anywhere near the Republican party.

I am sorry I cannot be for a platform that is not about itself but against the other guy. I listened to Annie Oakley and heard nothing but derision for Barack Obama (whose name she never mentioned once!!) What are the Repubs going to offer? Crickets….
America is soo unsafe we need a VET to handle the country. Has anybody answered the question of who made us unsafe in the first place? Who invaded Iraq? Fucked around in Afghanistan? Who got soo distracted pursuing shit wars that her opponents started to take advantage? Now North Korea, Iran and Russia are all having a fucking field day. Good job. Now you want to protect me from the world you created? No thank you. You know FDR did a very good job of being commander and chief in WW2 and the last I checked he wasn't a veteran.

What about healthcare?
I am not talking about a handout for the professional baby mama.
I am talking about the family that thought they had insurance only to find in their time of need that they weren't as covered as they thought. Or poor 3 yr old Bob who didn't ask to be born to dead beat parents. Excuse me if I dont believe that he should be punished while Bristol Palin and her lovely son get healthcare because they are rich and dare I say it WHITE!!

You know what, politics never has been the answer to a community's problems. We are going to have to do that for ourselves using the help of those community organisers that the Repubs used to wipe their asses last night. But to the extent that my vote is my voice I will be damned if I will use it for Karl Rove and friends

The Black Republicans have gotten their N—er Wake-Up Call. And getting one of those “wake-up” calls is a byotch.

I tuned out after she started attacking community organizers.

Blogroll – Rush Limbaugh and Fox News (nothing but hate)

Yet has “Black Men…” in the title

However, the comment was interesting…

Two points:

1. That story has YET to be told! Oh! Wait. . . It NEVA will be!! :>)

2. The RNC Convention had LITTLE to say about HIV/AIDS!!! Is this on their PLATFORM?? Got ta do some “Field Trippin' ” :>)

Good post! :>) :>)

The fact that this poor girl has been forced by her mother to eschew birth control and then ‘take responsibility for the consequences’ is not good parenting. It’s f____g child abuse.

This is it. Ignorance is passed off as intelligence. This mother has permanently altered the trajectory of her daughter's life. The Enquirer is reporting that Palin tried to force her daughter to marry quietly before the news got out, but Bristol refused. Bristol could have been dealing with HIV, instead of pregnancy. There are 2 crimes here. The denial of birth control, and a forced marriage. Sarah sacrificed her daughter on the altar of her political ambitions.

In A More Diverse America, A Mostly White Convention

I repeat!!: “Where da People Of Color!!????”

Whew Exhausted Deep Breaths!!!! :>) :>)

Just saw Michael Steele [re-run] actually mouth the words COLOR-BLIND SOCIETY!! HA!! Is that the same thing as “I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE THIS COLOR!!”???? :>) :>)

I'm just askin' . . . . . :>) :>)

Gov Palin meet Candidate Palin. After last night with the straight out u-turns now on video /audio tape the ads should be out no later that Noon EST on national TV and the WEB(if you can make them your self do it.). She just drove a stake through the heart of her party. Do the Republicans realize the Democrats don't have to call on her?(I take it back I want the garlic lei around Hilliary's neck, the mirror lining the coffin, the stake back in her heart and her returned to the 8th level of hell so the Democrats do not have to deal w/ her -all the other Democratic women I called on to call Gov Palin out please report to the trenches!)

ARE WE GOING TO LET THE OFF THE HOOK?
