    Republicans are such holier than thou hypocrites

    Sarah Palin´s pregnant daughter would not be an issue if Republicans weren´t such sexually repressed holier than thou hypocrites. Ironically, they are the ones who are usually against condoms or sexual education in schools. Regardless of what Obama says about family being off limits, the media should hit hard on this issue. Why? Because this situation sets a key precedent and goes against everything responsible sex educators are trying to do. Undoubtedly, from here on, many teenage girls are going to say, if it´s all right for the vice president´s daughter to have unprotected sex before marriage why can´t I?
