The VP Candidates Family

OP, go fuck yourself you fucking hypocrite. Don't dare say this is the most vile thing you've ever seen, if so, then you haven't been paying attention very long.

Personally, the most vile thing I've seen in politics is the smear campaign orchestrated by karl rove agaisnt John McCain in the 2000 South Carolina republican primaries. Rove created phone polls, printed flyers and created local tv and radio ads targeting the evangelical voters of the state of S.C. asking them if they would vote for John McCain if they were aware he fathered an illigitimate black child.

The fact that he and his wife adopted a little girl from a Bangladesh orphanage was an afterthought as the idea that mccain could actually do such a thing was already in the pea sized brains of the voters.

And of course, Mccain is now working closely with rove who no doubt will use the attacks on palins daughter in the republicans favor.

waaaaah

You heard of politics? This is what it is.

If she did not want the scrutiny she coulda told McCain, no thanks.

I don't fucking believe how ridiculous you Bush voters are.

Pretending to be chivalrous over something that is legitimate. If you guys were chivalrous you would be demanding Bush and McCain be executed for killing tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi women and children.

SO......uh, FUCK OFF NUMBNUT LIMBALL LISTENER. DOUCHEY RIGHT WING DICKWAD.

1. It is none of your business

2. The girl is old enough to make up her own mind

3. Who are you to judge another on what she taught her child and what she didn't.

Frankly, it is time for you all to look within because those that judge others will be judged. Those that condemn others will be condemned by your own words.

so let me get this straight, the vp candidates daughter is really her daughters, daughter? and now the daughter is knocked up again? family values at its best.

The issue isn't so much the daughter's alleged sexual activities; many teenage girls from well-to-do families get pregnant. The issue is the coverup. As many have already responded, it's the Republican party's own rhetoric that gets it in trouble. It this story is true, then the GOP (or Palin) must have felt that a pregnant teenage daughter would have made her seem like a bad mother and therefore unfit for a major leadership role in the party. On hindsight, they could have spun it like a true pro-lifer that they claim to be, that is, yes my daughter made a mistake but we are going to stick together as a family and raise this child. I think the American public would have loved that story. But if the allegations turn out to be true, the GOP is ruined for a long time. I can't believe that it the GOP leadership knew about this that they would have put her up for the VP spot. Way too risky.

It's funny because of the ridiculous levels of sexism that's being exposed within Obama supporters with statements like this.

why do you ASSume anybody pointing out Palin and the republicans hypocrisy is automatically an obama supporter?

I'm not even a democrat!

i dont give a shit about obama, politics is a show. i just think its funny. dont get me wrong, i love sluts.

Evidently, "family values" are just so much hogwash. Something to spoonfeed to the masses, but not something that those who preach this malarky atcually believe, or practise themselves.

Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska is known for being attractive, forceful and stickler for reform. Challenging circumstances now also have made her a shining example of personal pro-life convictions. In December, her doctor told her that prenatal tests indicated the child she was expecting in May would be born with Down syndrome, a genetic condition that stems from an extra chromosome and that impedes a child's physical, intellectual and language development. Only one year into her governorship and with four children at home already, a child with Down syndrome would present serious challenges. Studies in the late 90s showed that more than 80 percent of prenatal Down syndrome diagnoses end in abortion. Ending the pregnancy, however, was never an option for the Palins. On April 18, Sarah Palin gave birth to a 6-pound, 2-ounce son, Trig Paxson Van Palin. "We've both been very vocal about being pro-life," Palin told the Associated Press, speaking of herself and her husband, Todd. "We understand that every innocent life has wonderful potential." The day after the birth, the Palins released the following statement: "Trig is beautiful and already adored by us. We knew through early testing he would face special challenges, and we feel privileged that God would entrust us with this gift and allow us unspeakable joy as he entered our lives. We have faith that every baby is created for good purpose and has potential to make this world a better place. We are truly blessed." Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women of America, commended Gov. Palin, telling WND that she "is even more beautiful inside than out. Her proud and warm announcement of the birth of their special child revealed the depth of love and faith of this extraordinary woman. May God give America more women and statesmen like her." Trig Paxson Van Palin gets his unusual name from a number of sources. Grandfather Chuck Heath told KTUU in Anchorage that Trig is named after his great uncle, a Bristol Bay fisherman, and Paxson comes from a well-known snow-machining area in Alaska. The middle name Van, however, may have the most interesting origin. Gov. Palin joked with an Anchorage Daily News reporter that she and Todd have "always liked the middle name Van because, you know, growing up in the '80s, Van Palin would be a really cool name." Three days after the birth, the governor brought baby Trig and husband Todd to her office in Anchorage. There seemed to be little slowdown for the governor who in her short tenure so far has line-item vetoed massive sections of the state budget, taken on her own party's state chairman for ethics violations and fired the Alaska Board of Agriculture. "It's a sign of the times to be able to do this," she told the Associated Press. "I can think of so many male candidates who watched families grow while they were in office. My baby will not be at all or in any sense neglected." Gov. Palin has some precedent to follow. US Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas has a son with Down syndrome. US Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a Washington state Republican, is campaigning for her third term, even while she celebrates the fire birthday of her son Cole, also born the genetic anomaly. "It's in human nature to focus on the negative," Rodgers said, "on what the person can't do. In our mind, we are focused on what he can do, what he will be able to do and do very well." Gov. Palin has a similar outlook. In an e-mail she sent to relatives and friends the day of Trig's birth, she wrote: "Many people will express sympathy, but you don't want or need that, because Trig will be a joy. Children are the most precious and promising ingredient in this mixed-up world. Trig is no different, except he has one extra chromosome."

right on!

they never seem to value their own family yet force "family values" down everybodys throat!

I wish I had a dollar for every negative post I have made on GLP against Obama and Biden...LOL.

I was going to vote for McCain.

Not now though.

Staying home! (Something Gov. Palin should try doing.)

You must not be a parent, because it is a natural question to ask if someone can take care of 5 children, including one who is disabled and one who is pregnant. This is an effort that would require 2 parents to be fully with their kids.

I gave up a very important career to raise two small HEALTHY children. I am back now that they are teens. But is this the right time for someone who espouses family values to do this job? It is a question that I know many mother and fathers have but may not want to say out loud.

It is NOT caveman to ask this question. It is a very thoughful one.

So, your statement on "judgement" is one that you could point back at yourself.

For the grace of God go high. It does appear that Obama supporters have a great lack of compassion and unconditional love does not appear to exist. Let alone a conscience, ethics or a moral compass. All I can say is that if I was an American I would be deeply ashamed and if I was Obama I would resign and wish to have nothing to do with it the dems again.

Hey, Jerry Springer called, he wanted you on his TV show for a new episode, "Midget Whores' Baby-Mama Drama by Daddy Leftards".

AGAIN: why do you ASSume anybody pointing out Palin and the republicans hypocrisy is automatically an obama supporter?

I'm not even a democrat!

Well said Mark and Obama is smart enough that he is TRYING to call of the attack dogs because he knows that your reaction is the norm and this could backfire on him

my child isn't on the hospital board either for the year she was born... why? because I didn't OK them taking a picture of her to place on their board. Him not being on the web list is not an assurance he wasn't born there for 2 reasons, celebrity status and Downs-syndrome.

Here's a site that will let you look up peoples birth certificates.

We'll remember you said that, Lotus, especially when you start harping again on what the Muslims are doing and how your culture is being destroyed.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They say Palin's daughter is a private family matter and shouldn't be covered... Then why the fuck should there be national abstinence programs or laws on abortions?


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ANSWER ME YOU MORON RIGHT WINGERS!

ANSWER THAT! YOU CAN'T! SO SHUT UP!!1

Yes I am a parent, I was a working mum that ran a business, as well as bring up a child and do charity work.

It is not a natural question to ask when it is none of your business.

A down syndrome baby is not disabled, they can walk, talk, hear and go to school like other children. They are pure unconditional love and a joy to have around.

Her eldest is in the army, the next is 17 and having a baby of her own. As far as I am concerned an 18 year old is not a child anymore.

So in reality we are talking about two children one of 14, one of seven and the baby that she carries around with her. How do you know that these children are not away at school. How do you know these children live at home the whole time?

Just because you gave up your career does not mean that Sarah Palin has to give up hers. Thank God that God gave us human rights and free will to choose.

The judgements and accusations on this thread apply to people stating them and it is obvious that Sarah Palin is triggering a lot of peoples personal issues. So look within!

I am defending this woman's human right to choose how to run her own life and family.

I live in zero judgement in my own life.

However, I am a Messenger for God and pass on his words and it was God that took me away from my usual work to follow his instructions on the global crisis. It was God that spoke about the cultural genocide etc etc...

So do not judge me and if you have any complaint about his Messenger I recommend that you take it up with God.

What happened to the USA what it represented, its ideals? There is nothing but a shell of hypocrisy that the rest of the world laughs at and in some instants hates. Do any of you right wing Republicans at any cost, realize who has been selected for you. Do you even realize how foolish you look defending McCain and his choice. PAAAAFUCKNINGLEASE. Palin is everything you rail against. Teen pregnancy, unwed mothers, irresponsible parenting, inexperience, and lies. Everything the right criticizes is what this Alaska family entails and personally its alright with me but not you hard hitting righties, but what really grinds my gears is when you all are confronted with this as one of your own and what you hope to be a heart beat from the POTUS you don't say shit. The Right Wing Christian Minister says we all make mistakes, and all can be forgiven unless your from the left wing. Well let me tell you I am not left or right and I despise any who try to group us one way or another. I believe in tolerance. The self proclaimed group called the right wing does not but when they are confronted with a situation such as Sarah Palin for VP they are forced to change there thought process. In Psychology its called cognitive dissonance and that is happening now here in the USA with millions of sad disconnected souls. We the tolerant must pray and visualize what we want to become of these weaker consciousnesses and bring the future we wish to us. IF not this country will become weaker and the disconnect will continue as crime rates will rise and house foreclosures will continue like wildfire and Banks tumble down all around us. There are many very sleepy souls incarnate in the USA and the train has been on the wrong track for 8 years. Its time to visualize 86,000 people welcoming in an era of prosperity as the swearing in of a man that has peace and equality on his mind and his hand on the bible swearing to up hold the key thing that keeps this country great on a mid-evil planet the US Constitution.

I can't believe this shit gets pinned.

Did you care when Whiteygate came out? And they were attacking Michelle? And the story was pinned for days on end despite no proof of anything? Was Barack's family off limits then?

Was Barrack's family off limits when Sean Hannity said on his show he wanted to take up a collection for his half brother in Africa?

No.

McCain didn't say shit.

This self-righteous woman Palin and man McCain want to regulate your life. They want to tell you abstinence only works, when it doesn't even work in their own life. They want to tell you you can't have access to birth control. They want to tell you that you can't have an abortion even if you are raped. They basically want to be all in YOUR PERSONAL LIFE and your family's life but their lives are "off limits" now! More hypocrisy! If you want to regulate my life, let me see yours.

lol @ claims of "hypocrisy" by lib dumbasses

it would only apply if the nominees actually, you know, aborted children.

Governor Palin developed a small leak of amniotic fluid. Small leak, just as my own wife did, 3 weeks before our 3rd child was born.

You small minded, voyeuristic, savages are filth beneath Gov. Palin's feet. You're so low you'd need to take 3 steps up to reach the gutter.

The vile lies & innuendo about her new son are disgusting. Slimy belly crawlers spewing venom about an infant & his mother. How much lower can it possibly get?

To the poster who said America has become a Springer nation, you nailed it.
Thanks to that son of a bitch, the entire world views all Americans as Springer fodder. It's a shame someone didn't take Springer out, years ago.

Unfortunately, what the world is seeing is not a realistic view of average Americans. Millions of intelligent, educated, hard working, family oriented, good citizens.

We can thank every branch of the media for their non stop portrayal of our country & her people as nothing but a bunch of trash.

To the people calling for Palin to release her private medical records to satisfy your morbid fascination with the unsubstantiated rumors, you do not deserve to live under the protections put in place to keep your medical records out of public view.

You people are a huge part of the many problems in this country. Idiot box watching, KOS reading, non thinkers. Lead around by that leash around your necks, behaving like rabid dogs.

The Burning Bush made he write all that krazy stuff.

It took control of her mind and typing fingers.

Hal-lay-loo-yah!

Sarah Palin put her daughter in the spotlight when Bristol made a campaign appearance with her mother (the Dayton thing). At that campaign appearance, Bristol hid her pregnancy by draping a blanket and her newborn son Trig over her belly.

Then comes Gustav day, and suddenly they're not hiding it. What a bunch of bullshit artists. Sarah Palin knows it's a problem, which is why she's trying to be so slick about it.

OMFG, LMAO.

How you connect the hurricane with Palin coming out with truth to stop the rumors is more lib idiocy.
With every moronic post, you libs are digging yourselves deeper into your insanity.

If this was Obama's daughter, the Repubs would be ALL OVER IT. Guaranteed. At least Obama has the class to not even go there as he stated as this is a family matter. I cannot say the same thing for the Republicans who are nothing but hypocrites and liars. Oh, but it's okay per Laura Bush and Cindy McCain. If it was Obama's daughter they would be shuddering and raising issues as to morality. That's the mindset of these assclowns. Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

I don't even want to hear what the evangelical nutcases have to say!
