@ ehillesum and "defenseless babies"

That is the hard part about being a conservative. We believe in taking responsibility for our mistakes and not forcing someone else (like a defenseless baby) to do so.

You have GOT to be kidding?! Oh it just gets better and better...

In choosing Palin and having her accept, McCain is essentially hiding behind a woman and babies, effectively distracting Americans from looking good and hard at HIM. And the GOP still has the gall to call this guy a "hero" and "brave"? Oh yeah, he's a real maverick, paving the way for women on the ticket.

Really? BS! If that were the point he'd have chosen a QUALIFIED Republican woman, one who believes in "country first", as is his campaign slogan, and not one who was a member of and made a supportive video for a secessionist "Alaska First" group the founder of which said he "has no use for America".

If McCain were so "brave" and wanted to put a woman on the ticket for the sake of actually having her be respected he'd have chosen very differently -- but he didn't. He chose this one with all the kids, including the special needs little angel from heaven, as a SHIELD, knowing full well that anyone who's too hard on her - read: Biden, when they have the VP debate - will get called out for being a "bully". Not so if McCain had chosen a QUALIFIED woman without the baby shield.

And voila, just like clockwork, here comes Laura 'No really I'm okay to drive!' Bush the other day, lecturing the left about how they better be careful how they treat Palin. Oh really? Like you GOP'ers were careful with Hillary? Nah --- Hillary can take it, she's a big girl -- she has no extra-special gift from heaven in the form of a special needs baby.

Using this woman and baby (babies, plural, plus a teenage girl --- because McCain claims he knew beforehand)as a SHIELD against getting back what GOP'ers have dished out over and over to their opponents.

It's the most cowardly, pathetic spectacle you people have pulled off in a while, and god knows you've pulled off many.

Laughing? You better believe it. Not at Palin. At that dimwit McCain, your "hero".

HAR!!!

babydaddy: "I don't want kids"

"Besides his hard play on the ice, Levi Johnston was also a bit of a hell-raiser off it - another reason Bristol may have been smitten.

State troopers popped Johnston last year for snagging some king salmon out of season in Moose Lake, records from Alaska wildlife enforcement show. He had to pay $370 bail.

On his MySpace page, Johnston proudly declares: "I'm a f---in' redneck."

"I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing," he says on the site.

He also warns that if anyone messes with him, "I'll kick ass."

The Web site, before it was removed, appeared not to have been accessed for a year.

On it, he admits to having a girlfriend.

On the part where it asks about children, he wrote, "I don't want kids." "
