    Everyone crying "sexism" - you're funny!

    Again, we have the double standard - can't you people see that the reason Bristol's pregnancy is news worthy is because her Mom's party is the party of "supposed" family values? These are the people that condemn un-wed mothers, these are the people who pretend to live in "Ozzie and Harriet" land, these are the people who want sex education taken out of schools, these are the people who want laws determined by their personal views on religion. These are the people who 'name call' and judge others unfairly, all to make themselves feel better by attempting to make others feel worse. Yes, these are the people of the Republican Party and almost everyday, they engage in the same behavior, they are contributors to the same scandals, as the people they claim to be better than.

    Well, this article isn't sexsist. It's about holding the mirror up to their faces and guess what, they really can't stand what they see.

    Sarah Palin and John McCain exemplify the reasons in which the Republican Party will lose the election in November - they're living proof that when you point a finger at someone, you have three more pointing back at you.
