As a mother of a handicapped child, I know the attention that baby Trig needs, and it is considerable. That attention will make the difference in his later abilities. How in the heck can she be a real mother, with a handicapped child, a pregnant teen, and other children and still be a good governor or vice president?? Someone has to pay and it is going to be the children. Already you see the result, a pregnant teen.
I know she doesn't believe in 'choice' but when you have children you have to make a choice, and sometimes that choice is work or take care of the children.
The pregnancy of Palin's daughter IS a big deal. Were she the daughter of a (much maligned) Liberal, it would be no big deal. But Palin is so strongly pro life that she is said to even be opposed to abortions in the case of rape or incest. Her solution to avoidance of STD and teenage pregancy is a vow of abstinence.
Girls that young, especially if they belong to the upper classes of society tend to seek refuge in early sex primarily because of parental neglect. It takes little imagination to assume that Mrs. Palin as Governor of Alaska did not enough time for her five children. How much time will she have should she become Vice President?
is reported to be 26 or 27. WTF?? Where were her parents when their daughter was hanging around with a man ten years her senior? Did it not occur to someone in that fruitcake household that it might not be appropriate? I would love to know just how many times in the last year these parents ate dinner with their children - I'm willing to wager that it wasn't too often.
I feel sorry for this kid. Her daddy is a drunk; her mother is a scheming, lying, ambitious whore who doesn't have the decency to decline the offer of the VP; and she'll probably never go to college.
I don't know who has any pull in the GOP these days, but someone has to tell Sarah and John that she will not do. And she should be replaced by someone with some brains - Whitman, Hutchinson, Rice - if they have to have a women. Colin Powell or Tom Ridge would have been great.
First, This really does show how well abstinence-only sex education works. (I know, others have said it before me.)
Second, if it were my daughter, there's no way I'd let her get married at seventeen, pregnant or not! Okay, they're pro-life, but why oh why aren't they advocating for adoption. I guesss they'd rather doom their daughter to marriage and family before she's really old enough to do it properly.
The majority of voters in America, that being the working class sit back and laugh at you network media idiots continuing to feed your bullshit. Would it really of mattered who McCain picked, you guys would cut them down and cry about everything there is to cry about, because you are the LIBERAL press, and that's what you get paid to do. You guys are like Scientist, the world is flat, oh it really is round, the universe was created by an explosion, well maybe. I love the fishing with no liscense, it is hilarious. Guess what, Sarah is a breath of fresh air. She represents the real America rather than the fictious America the networks continue to potray to the people. And, thank goodness she wasn't a sitting Senator with 25 years of experience, because she would be the same old song. I could never run for a political office because my 3rd cousin on my stepfathers side got caught spitting on the sidewalk.
Call me the fortune teller, because my prediction is McCain carries the male vote, Catholic, Jewish, Christian, Hillbilly, small town folks, NRA, Fishermen, armed forces,and now at least half the women, and eveyone that has even has a pregnant daughter. Keep up the good work and this list will grow larger.

Subject: [BMC1968] John McCain's VP nominee
Dear classmates -
As an Alaskan, I am writing to give all of you some information on
Sarah Palin, Senator McCain's choice for VP. As an Alaska voter, I
know more than most of you about her and, frankly, I am horrified that
he picked her.
The most accurate description of her is red neck. Her husband works in
the oil fields of Prudhoe Bay and races snow mobiles. She is a life
time member of the NRA and has worked tirelessly to allow
indiscriminate hunting of wildlife in Alaska , particularly wolves and
bears. She has spent millions of Alaska state dollars on aerial
hunting of these predators from helicopters and airplanes, dollars
that should have been spent, for example, on Alaska 's failing school
system.We have the lowest rate of high school graduation in the
country. Not all of you may think aerial predator hunting is so bad,
but how anyone (other than Alaska wolf-haters, of which there are
many, most without teeth), could think this use of funds is
appropriate is beyond me. If you want to know more about the aerial
hunting travesty, let me know and I will send some links to
informative web sites.
She has been a strong supporter of increased use of fossil fuels, yet
the McCain campaign has the nerve to say she has "green" policies. The
only thing green about Sarah Palin is her lack of experience. She has
consistently supported drilling in ANWR, use of coal-burning power
plants (as I write this, a new coal plant is being built in her home
town of Wasilla ), strip mining, and almost anything else that will
unnecessarily exploit the diminishing resources of Alaska and destroy
its environment.
Prior to her one year as governor of Alaska , she was mayor of Wasilla,
a small red neck town outside Anchorage.The average maximum education
level of parents of junior high school kids in Wasilla is 10th grade.
Unfortunately, I have to go to Wasilla every week to get groceries and
other supplies, so I have continual contact with the people who put
Palin in office in the first place. I know what I'm talking about.
These people don't have a concept of the world around them or of the
serious issues facing the US . Furthermore, they don't care. So long as
they can go out and hunt their moose every fall, kill wolves and bears
and drive their snow mobiles and ATVs through every corner of the
wilderness, they're happy. I wish I were exaggerating.
Sarah Palin is currently involved in a political corruption scandal.
She fired an individual in law enforcement here because she didn't
like how he treated one of her relatives during a divorce. The man's
performance and ability weren't considered; it was a totally personal
firing and is currently under investigation. While the issue isn't
close to the scandal of Ted Steven's corruption, it shows that Palin
isn't "squeaky clean" and causes me to think there ay be more issues
that could come to light. Clearly McCain doesn't care.
When you line Palin up with Biden, the comparison would be laughable
if it weren't so serious. Sarah Palin knows nothing of economics
(admittedly a weak area for McCain), or of international affairs,
knows nothing of national government, Social Security, unemployment,
health care systems - you name it. The idea of her meeting with heads
of foreign governments around the world truly frightens me.
In an increasingly dangerous world, with the economy in shambles in
the US , Sarah Palin is uniquely UNqualified to be vice president. John
McCain is not a young man. Should something happen to him such that
the vice president had to step in, it would destroy our country and
possibly the world to have someone as inexperienced and inappropriate
as Sarah Palin. The choice of Palin is a cheap shot by McCain to try
to get Hillary supporters to vote for him. when McCain introduced her
today, Palin had the nerve to compare herself with Hillary and
Geraldine Ferraro. Sarah Palin, you are no Hillary Clinton.
To those of you who, like me, supported Hilary and were upset that she
did not get the nomination, please don't think that Sarah Palin is a
worthy substitute. If you supported Hillary, regardless of what you
think the media and the democratic party may have done to undermine
her campaign, the person to support now is Obama, not Sarah Palin. To
those of you who are independent or undecided, don't let the choice of
Palin sway you in favor of McCain. Choosing her shows how unqualified
McCain is to be president. To those of you who are conservative, I
guess you have no choice for president. But please try to see how the
poor choice of Palin tells us a great deal about McCain's judgment.
While the political posturing inherent in the choice of Palin is
obvious, the more serious issue is the fact that the VP is, literally,
a heartbeat away from the presidency. Sarah Palin is totally and
unequivocally unqualified to be vice president, let alone president.
I know this is a lengthy and emotional email, but the stakes are high.
I thought it might help for all of you, regardless of political
affiliation, to know something about Palin from someone who has to
live with her administration in Alaska on a daily basis.
