I was thinking about the lack of connectedness and all you've written about the kids and why Palin appeals to 'those kinds of people.' Why do her kids make every attempt to get her attention including getting pregnant before finishing high school?

Ya know why? Because Palin is the epitome of their pathology. We've read about the type fo mindset that someone has who considers themselves 'right' or 'conservative' – and it's disturbing to say the least. That's the draw of Palin in all her fucked up glory.

He could not understand why he hated Sarah Palin so much. It bothered him that someone so uniformed and silly could be where she was. He is a cynic and is not a great believer in causes or in awe of political leaders. I explained to him, his disgust with her was based on how hard he worked and how hard he knew others worked to get better lives for their families. Then here comes this silly white girl and she jumps in front with no substantial competence.

This is why Track and Bristol turned out the way they did and why Willow and Piper will follow in their footsteps. Poor little Trig will be the only one spared. They've grown up learning how to lie, cheat and steal directly from momma's lap and in the 8 year old's case she's growing up with the spoils of her parents' scams.

True there. Plus the fact that the Obamas do not put their kids “out in front” like the Palins have done with theirs.

Regardless, I've heard very little out of the two younger girls and I'm not going to surmise or speculate on them. It's not about them; it's about Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is NOT connected with or to her kids. You know how I know; she acts in the very same manner my mother did. Absolutely nothing is about those kids. It's all about their mother. She uses them to further whatever agenda she decides is next. The connectedness the Obamas have with their girls is palpable. You see in what they do for their kids, how they treat them in public; I wouldn't know about privately. Here, however, I would surmise the genuineness in which they live in front of us – they treat those kids much the same in private.

Now that is not a race or color issue. It's a parenting issue. I know many persons who are wonderful parents in much the same manner as the Obamas and trust me, it crosses all kinds of 'lines' because it has to do with their children. As far as I can see, the Palins don't have it.

With parents like Todd and Sarah and their older brother and sister's footsteps to follow, Willow and Piper are trash in the making.

I'll go out on a limb and say Piper will be worse than Bristol and Track because little Piper is growing up with all the mad spoils that Bristol and Track didn't get at her age.

NOBODY would be saying “leave the children alone” if these were black or hispanic children. The only reason they're leaving the Obama children alone is because they know they will be in deep doo doo if they get on the Obama kids like they got on Chelsea Clinton.

ONE of Palin's daughter and then, there's Palin her-very-self. The 14 year-old and the, what? 8 year-old – haven't heard too much from them really or about them so don't get all carried away. You're stuck with the family you're born into when you're a child.

Explain the run-on sentences? I think she got a lot of what she got based on her looks, and she IS well-versed in playing the victim card.

How did she get this degree?

But, sadly, we all know what the GOP means when they talk about the “American people…”

Where are the crowds screaming for Palin to show her college certificate of degree, huh?

Those batshit wingnuts are still asking to see President Obama's birth certificate.
