I agree that the Palin issue isn't on par with the Hurricane, but she is a woman who'd take away a woman's right to choose if she had half a chance. And how 'bout that abstinence training-- is it time to abstain from denial yet? What an excellent opportunity for discussion this issue presents.
GOPs who barbecued Clinton for an affair will insist that the Palin issue is a 'private matter'. (An incident involving consenting adults, nonetheless- no minors involved, and yet impeachment was being discussed and a nonstop media frenzy took place, for god's sake.) And it should be a private matter--- that's what Dems have been saying all along about reproductive freedom, birth control, not to mention gay rights. The government shouldn't be in our bedrooms and in our doctor's offices.
I just love it when conservatives have gay kids, even gay lovers, and pregnant teens. "It's a private matter! It's nobody's business!" they cry.
EXACTLY. Remember that the next time you GOP'ers try to legislate people's private affairs.
