So Palin's drug-dealing son and pregnant teenage daughter

[LynnTheDem]

makes Palin "fit" to run this nation.

My, my. How far the republicans have fallen.

[YOY]

1. I'm just floored that some people consider her some f***ed up role model

FReeps are scary mother f***ers...

[Lyric]

3. More hypocritical than scary.

If Obama had a pregnant teenage daughter and a ne'er-do-well son, he'd be lambasted from every right-wing corner.

Apparently it's fine to be a knocked-up teen, so long as you're good and White. :eyes:

14. That union has the makings of a marriage made in Hell !!!

I don't know which one I feel the most for - Bristol or the "fuckin redneck" I guess the baby - the reason for the marriage in the first place.

18. Free Levi!

30. If Obama's daughter came home with a B in arithmetic

there would be a shitstorm of allegations about irresponsible parenting and the downfall of "urban" families.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. It makes them feel better about having pregnant teen daughters and drug dealing sons.

[MadMaddie]

2. Hey LynnTheDem

Isn't it interesting now that it's one of their own the ole family values line is thrown out the window?

Palin isn't fit enough to run the dog kennel my dogs go to.


And the Repugs are not done falling yet, Palin will ensure their demise.

[LynnTheDem]

5. "911 changed everything"...yeah, it seems 911 changed republicans into

the Democrats they always accused Dems of being.

:rofl:

4. You know you have to consider Track Palin vs. Beau Biden

Track signed up for the military because, from what I've read, the kid was a real loser going nowhere fast and a serious drug addiction to boot. So he turned to the military. Whereas Joe Biden's son, who also just left for Iraq, has everything going for him. Beau has been married, kids, law degree and was just elected as Delaware's Attorney General. But Beau felt a sense of duty to sign up for the guards (probably because Beau is building his political career too).

I will say this much, living in the area, you very rarely heard of any of the Biden kids getting into the serious types of trouble that the Palin kids have done. Mind you the Biden kids have at least a decade or so but still - Joe raised some great kids with strong family values and sense of duty for out country.

10. Lets be very honest here ...

Lets be very honest here, as the children of political figures they will NEVER be deployed in forward positions. They would endanger their unit members as they are prime targets for kidnapping.

[bumblebee1]

13. Joe did alot of raising his sons on his own. n/t

[LynneSin]

20. Only for about 5 years

Jill was a major influence it the lives of those boys- they do refer to her as Mom.

[XemaSab]

31. 5 years in the life of a child is a LIFETIME

Don't discount the work Joe put in as a single dad.

[Sequoia]

34. Exactly!

[Old and In the Way]

6. This is the new face of the Republican Party.

If this was a 40YO guy with her governing history/experience, intelligence, and family background, there's no way he'd be considered. Because she's a perky, attractive female whose demonstrated a willingness to promote the funde-neocon agenda - she's the new face of Republicanism. A fresh face for the same old crappy, discredited agenda.

[BearSquirrel2]

11. Republican game plan ...

The Republican game plan for quite some time is to find some congenial airhead who is unable to handle the reins. Make them dependent upon the puppeteers and get them into office where they are so overwhelmed, they have no choice but to accept your decisions.

[Raschel]

7. I hate the hypocrisy the most.

Her family's is in total dysfunction, she's being investigated, according to the Enquirer, she has had an affair (and I've seen no lawsuit or threats on that one), and she's been caught in numerous lies.

Yet conservatives act as she is the greatest Christian example in the country, ready to save us from the "antichrist" Obama.

And even if they want to say that no Christian is sinless, fine. But then how do they reconcile the fact that she is attacking Obama. Should he not be awarded the same "forgiveness"?

No, there's no way they can honestly admit deep in their hearts that they believe she is what they paint her to be.

The truth is that they just hate Obama that much.

[samsingh]

8. digusting - she's let her family down.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. Have I been asleep?

What is this about Track being an addict? Link?

[Kat45]

15. Drug-dealing son? What's that about? I haven't heard that one.

[DS1]

16. It's news to me, as well

and a few of my friends deal drugs, and they are the greatest husbands and fathers you'll ever meet.

The drug war is the problem.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Levi got busted

and the judge made him enlist in the Army.

[muriel_volestrangler]

25. Levi is the guy her daughter's meant to be marrying

I think this story needs a little more firming up before we run with it.

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. Oops yes you are right

Track is the son in Iraq. Levi is the baby daddy.

17. In 2012, for President they'll run a registered sex offender Megachurch founder

with five wives. And his Vice Presidential running mate will be an active duty General who refuses to resign his commission, does all of his campaign appearances in uniform, and who lives with his aide de camp.

And this, they will tell us, represents the Heartland and Mainstream of America.

[XemaSab]

32. Where is the white collar criminal

making press appearances from JAIL?

'Cause that's the trifecta, right there.

[seabeyond]

21. exactly. not to mention, how dare she criticize schools when obviously she isnt parent enough

to instill a desire for education in her children ect....

[malaise]

22. Perhaps they're looking votes from

the shot gun wedding and meth crowd. It's not only Fundies who love these lunatics.

[dynasaw]

23. Imagine if . . .

the Palins were black but it's o.k. if teen pregnancies, drug dealing etc. happens in families like Ms. Sarah's. The old double standard and wretched racist hypocrisy. :puke:

[XemaSab]

33. My point exactly

Obama admits to smoking a J in the 70's in Hawaii, annd they're all trying to make it out like he's a crack dealer. :eyes:

[bertman]

24. Her appeal is the fact that the reich-wing mouth breathers can IDENTIFY with her and her druggy

son and knocked-up daughter. Makes her real, you see.

[kenny blankenship]

26. Methlab-Moms for Palin!

[bertman]

28. I like that, kenny. Maybe I'll make a poster and ask my wife to take it to the next Palin rally.

[EFerrari]

29. That's perfect! n/t
