How many did things your parents told you not to do ?

How many thought they "knew more" than their parents ?

People living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Who will cast the first stone?

I think the question when phrased as you did is moot.

The bigger issue is how some on the religious right preach about family values as if they are somehow on a higher playing field...when in reality we're all pretty much the same.

To be honest, the story would be a lot more interesting if she was a lesbian.

But then the left wouldn't be saying anything about it.

No the left doesn't run around preaching no sex before marriage like its a plausible form of birth control.

No, we take in and admire the arts while partaking in beverages of the adult kind.

I agree it is moot. It just goes to show that no matter
how much you preach only some will listen. In this case her daughter didn't listen. That to me doesn't mean Sarah Palin can't be a very effective VP.

The DEMS are grasping at straws and trying to make something stick out to voters.

.

Well she was not an effective Mom...perhaps she was too busy trying to get her brother in law fired from the state police when she should have been parenting

Do you tell your kids "don't do drugs" while slamming back some blow in your shop?

Let me guess. You wouldn't have fired him.

parenting only goes so far. Once a child reaches 15 or 16 they start to think of themselves as adults and like to make their own decisions. Some of these decisions may not be the best but try convincing a teenager that... Everyone here probably remembers turning that age. nuff said


And on her brother in law he deserves to be fired. He crossed the line on more than 1 occaission.

Amazing how nobody is defending her Abstinence Only stance.

But hey, try convincing a teenager not to have sex, and don't bother giving them protection or birth control. Fantastic idea.

Also I hear the replacement for the brother in law was replaced with someone who had to resign TWO WEEKS LATER because of sexual harassment.

She keeps great company.

Which "dems" are we talking about here?
Obama? He came out vehemently against talking about Palin's family.
Biden? Hasn't said a word.

Are we supposed to care what anyone else says? If thats how you want it played, I'll happily start quoting everyone's favorite O'Reilly.

It seems more to me that people just listen to whatever the news and media says instead of the candidates themselves. We're not voting for talk show hosts, we're voting for a President.
