No, you are searching for excuses to dig into personal issues
wrong again, buckwheat. Palin made it an issue. Moralizing rightists like you made it an issue. The issue of abstinence only is one of the big planks of Republicans this round. And she's LIVING PROOF of its failure. You can spin it however you want, but that's the simple truth.
The left media can't even get past the fact that Gov. Palin gave birth earlier this year
Bull. The "left" media talks about a multitude of issues. Here's a clue... bloggers and posters on open forums are NOT the "left" media. I hear very little, and I listen to all manner of media... left, right, and center. The people talking most about the Down baby... FOX NEWS. They couldn't say Sarah Palin without touting her choice to not abort the baby. (at least SHE had a choice, eh? - more than she would give anybody else)
As for Bristol, and we "evil" democrats...
I don't give a damn about her kid in the political sense. She's 17, and does what 17-year-olds do... and like many, has become pregnant. The problem I have is with the holier-than-thou Palin and her mouthpieces in the rightist media - and you. She's a failure and if that's not comfortable for you, then too bad. I noticed you didn't bother to actually address WHY I think she's a terrible mother. Be disgusted. You are a democrat like Joe Lieberman is a democrat. In name only.
