Palin's daughter
I heard she was pregnant by a Black person.
Palin for VP
McCain's pick for VP has only strenghtened my decision to vote for Obama. I think McCain needs a keeper if he thinks that sane people will vote for him because he chose Palin for his running mate. Can anyone imagine the chaos that would ensue if he drops dead? If we think that we have been the laughing stock of the world for the past 8 years of Bush & Co., just wait until Sarah Barracuda is at the helm! God help us.
Hipocracy on the right
Teens get in trouble, but if the shoe were on the other foot and this was a pregnant Obama child, the right would be pointing the finger at her parents for promoting promiscuity. I can just hear them chastising Michelle for not being present enough to raise her daughters with good "family values". At the very least we can have a discussion about the fact that abstinence only programs are obviously ineffective in reducing teen pregnancy rates! The fact that Ms. Palin, as governor, slahed funding for programs serving other pregnanat teens without the family and finacial support of her daughter points out the hipocracy of the religious right.
I know that my daughter's best interests will be served by an Obama-Biden ticket that truly supports women's rights - reproductive rights and equal pay!
