Republicans try to brush off the tempest over Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and turn that other storm in Louisiana into a political prop.

    @RenMan53

    what's wrong, xanthro, is that Palin MADE IT AN ISSUE. Her strident Abstinence Only/anti-education stance has set her up to be shown as a confirmed FAILURE.

    No, you are searching for excuses to dig into personal issues.

    Every candidate includes his or her family. Obama let his daughters be interviewed, does that mean everything is fair game against them? No, it doesn't

    Furthermore, the fact that she'd willingly subject her troubled children/grandchildren to the glare of 24/7 media scrutiny shows that she is indeed a terrible mother.

    The left media can't even get past the fact that Gov. Palin gave birth earlier this year, do you really think the fact that her daughter is pregnant would remain hidden?

    Frankly, the terrible people are you and others who have resorted to the very worst of all types of Republican smear campaigns, and aimed them at Children.

    It's beneath my party and our behavior disgusts me.
