Palin's kids are off limits. <BR/><BR/>However, with Palin's stance on abstinence only, the media and her opposition are going to use her daughter's pregnancy as "proof" that her idea of sex ed doesn't work. At this point I hope they stop raking the daughter over the coals, and approach this with her dignity in mind. I'm not sure how the issue will play out without pointing to the obvious... abstinence only does not work!<BR/><BR/>I hate this for her daughter, I don't want to see her made a sacrificial lamb because of her mother's politics. So I think one of the questions becomes how do you address this with such a huge elephant in the room, without actually mentioning the elephant's existence, all while honoring that she's a minor and does not deserve to be man-handled by the media or McCain opponents? It's a fine and delicate line, and I hope it's walked with extreme care!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086740613832715808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28442606.post-78467342821703819692008-09-03T09:37:00.000-07:002008-09-03T09:37:00.000-07:00I don't know a lot about Sarah Palin. I can say I ...I don't know a lot about Sarah Palin. I can say I was disappointed with McCain's choice of candidate. I think there are many, many others who were much more qualified for this position.<BR/><BR/>And while some praise her for going forward with her acceptance of the VP nod, I as a mother feel that this was a bad choice. The press cuts people to shreds regardless of what they are for or against. But to represent conservative Republicans and have an unmarried pregnant teen...I don't understand why you would want to subject your child to that kind of publicity. <BR/>The decent thing to do would be to leave Bristol out of all this....but the press, Democrats and comedians are not going to do that. And if it were me...I would have passed on the VP so my daughter could have my grandchild in peace. No job is worth what this poor child is going to have said about her.<BR/>But that's just me.must not be blankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831516641760106212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28442606.post-83715873400630820682008-09-03T04:49:00.000-07:002008-09-03T04:49:00.000-07:00I agree wholeheartedly.

I am not in her political camp, but I do agree that there is a justifiable line of no crossing that must be established...if we are to remain a decent society.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722162542135510165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28442606.post-40773607128786158012008-09-02T19:36:00.000-07:002008-09-02T19:36:00.000-07:00A-men to THAT.A-men to THAT.MamaGeek @ Works For Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09563543041234527282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28442606.post-47698669197895894282008-09-02T18:02:00.000-07:002008-09-02T18:02:00.000-07:00I agree...Let's leave the kids out of it!

I couldn't find the right words other than "shut up and leave her alone" but you did...thanks :) <BR/>I am not sure who to vote for, but I do know that her daughter will not make a dent in my decision! <BR/>Glad to see you back posting!
