    RenMan, you are clueless

    wrong again, buckwheat. Palin made it an issue. Moralizing rightists like you made it an issue.

    That's about as laughable a statement as I have ever heard.

    I'm not a moralizing rightist. LOL

    Your problem, and it is a problem, is you view the world with a narrow vision, so you subscribe beliefs to people when they don't hold them.

    If you want to attack Gov. Palin on some of her beliefs, free feel to do so.

    Abstinence only sex education is stupid in my opinion, but you can attack her position on this without having to resort to attacks on her daughter. In fact, politically it would be far wiser, because people can make the connection. People like you attacking a minor just builds sympathy.

    I think I must be the only pro-gay rights, including marriage, pro-choice, including so-called partial birth abortion, moralizing rightist in the world.

    It's obvious, that you view anyone not in lock step with you as an enemy and to be demonized, it is because of people like you that Democrats will lose an Election that should have been an easy win.

    You alienate the very people you want to vote for your candidate.
