Raise your hand if you just can't summon a single shit to give about Palin and all this baby blather

[WilliamPitt]

*hand*

The GOP convention is either about to begin or about to be postponed because New Orleans might get destroyed again.

And college football has started.

And the NFL starts next week.

Let's see...mmmmm, yup. That pretty much fills up my tank. Palin could have given birth to her sister's daughter's cousin's milkman's wife's grandfather's daughter's half-moose freak-baby after an illicit affair with Bullwinkle...who was later shot and devoured by governor Palin. Not the freak-baby, I mean, but the back-door moose guy.

Tittilating.

Don't. Care.

You?

[billyoc]

1. My "ignore" list looks like it's about 7 million fucking months pregnant.

[Kookaburra]

2. OOOO, OOOO, ME, ME!!!

I'm raising both hands and standing on my tippy-toes.

[DJ13]

3. I care, but only because it would be a lie

Other than that, nope.

[flpoljunkie]

55. It's not about a baby, it is about possible abuse of power.

[NEDem]

4. I don't care

[CakeGrrl]

5. +1 - If Obama's oppo research team decides it's worth giving a damn,

THEN I'll consider it of interest.

[Prefer]

6. Yeah, we better help McCain win instead

This is suppoased party of "family values" and they haven't even gotten out of the gate yet and they are exposed as a FRAUD?

You think that is nothing?

Unbelievable....

[tosh]

7. Present - and hand up.

[justiceischeap]

8. No offense meant Will but at this point we're seeing an equal amount of

"Are you tired of the baby posts?" Which end up doing the same the baby posts do, bump the good stuff off the front page of the discuss link. But yeah, sick of it too.

Maybe we should suggest they make this it's own little world elsewhere.

[Cha]

9. I got more important things to

blather about!

I Like this quote.. "By choosing Palin to be his running mate, McCain stapled his entire campaign to a woman whose shiny right-wing Christian credentials cannot obscure the fact that she has slightly less foreign policy or executive experience than a ham sandwich in the pantry of Air Force One." Will Pitt

[WilliamPitt]

22. Hee.

Yeah, that and the mooing cows thing made me glad I worked today.

Thanks. :)

:toast:

[Cha]

52. It's brilliant... everyone can relate to the

obvious truth of this comparison with humor. You wipe out her foreign policy and executive experience fallacy with one ham sandwich in the pantry of the Air Force One:patriot: :toast:

[vaberella]

35. Beautiful...sums her up perfectly!! Link?!

:D

[Cha]

59. Yeah, I wanted to post this..thanks for asking!

<snips>

"There are several very good reasons why McCain would like to keep all debate and discussion in this presidential race right there with him in that slow lane. First and foremost is the simple truth that the man basically has nowhere else to go. His dilemma brings to mind that old maxim trial lawyers have lived and died by since time out of mind: when the law is with you, pound on the law; when the facts are with you, pound on the facts; if neither the facts nor the law are with you, pound on the table. That is John McCain's entire political reality in a nutshell.

The facts reveal that Mr. McCain has thrown his support behind just about every asinine and idiotic decision made by the single most unpopular and unsuccessful American president there ever was and, God willing, ever will be. The facts reveal that he has boomeranged away from so many policy positions he once espoused, going so far as to denounce a whole sheaf of legislation he had personally authored, because the Republican base despised those issues; but since he needed their support if he ever wanted to have a chance of winning, it was whiplash be damned and the Devil take the hindmost.

The facts, along with plenty of photographic evidence, reveal that while the city of New Orleans drowned beneath the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina, McCain was snuggling with George W. Bush beneath the very same blanket of willful ignorance and sadistic indifference that has defined this administration. By a horrifying coincidence, the city of New Orleans now finds itself in the crosshairs of yet another deadly hurricane, not only on the anniversary of Katrina's destruction, but also on the eve of the Republican National Convention that will officially nominate Mr. McCain as the GOP's candidate."

Agree with Frustrated Lady.."Great Read"

10. Only because Trig Palin could beat the Patriots

Hee hee!

I'm now entering the Witness Protection Program, Will. So don't go looking for me.

[WilliamPitt]

43. Sleep with one eye open.

;)

[Bonobo]

11. -1. Hey Will, I care about LOTS of stuff. Lemme see...

politics, my kids, gardening, hurricanes, football, weather, flying ants, etc.

AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

WOW!

[Speck Tater]

12. Are you kidding!!11!! This is HUGH!!11. I'm SERIES!!!111 nt

[Prefer]

15. How is it NOT important?

I don't get it?

This woman is a clear liar and is probably breaking the law. The baby has a right to accurate information and not forged official documents.

There could be health concerns that need proper and accurate background information.

This is a grand slam for the democrats, so I am surprised so many are ready to try to kill our own victory...

[Speck Tater]

42. For the record, I agree with you. NT

[ruggerson]

13. Watch out, the kiddie brigade will accuse you of stifling their right to free idiocy

[uberllama42]

46. Yeah, well.. well.. Goebbels didn't approve of sleazy attack politics either!!!11!!

:crazy:

[ben_meyers]

14. Tell ya the truth, I haven't seen anything else

More compelling to read here today anyhow.

[niceypoo]

16. Raising my left hand...

...while raising my cat's, 'hand,' with my right.

[question everything]

17. Well said. And using the baby as an example of "anti-abortion"

is a cheap political manipulation that we can, and should object.

[Mz Pip]

18. Count me in

Wild speculation that isn't backed up by anything other than internet rumors really doesn't accomplish much other than make us look as ditsy as the folks who believe Chavez is funding Obama's campaign or that he is a "registered" Muslim.

[David Zephyr]

19. The baby story is not a hill we should die on. It can backfire and it hold no interest for me either

I'm glad you weighed in on this. My credibility after my Hillary for VP suggestion is gone, but I completely agree.

I don't care about this story either. One bit.

Thanks, William.

[ruggerson]

26. David no one gives a shit about your choice for Veep

and your credibility was just strengthened by declaring that this baby bullshit does us more harm than good.

[dkf]

20. I was texting my friend the whole troopergate, babygate,

extreme fundie thing and we are simply cracking up at how incompetent McCain's vetting was. When he first saw the announcement all he thought was, hot and likes guns (yeah he is a pig). Now he thinks she is a nut.

[Duer 157099]

21. It's OK Will, because you're not the demographic

The exact demographic that they hoped to appeal to with the Palin nom, is the same demographic that indeed does care about pregnancy and motherhood, mostly because so many can relate to it -- the timing, the days, the physical state, everything about pregnancy is more interesting to women, in particular mothers, than it is to most men.

Yes, there are exceptions, but we're talking about "in general" (so no "I'm an exception" posts necessary)

I could give two shits about football, and yet those are two items on your most important list -- see how that works?

[WilliamPitt]

27. "see how that works?"

Yup. It means you're wrong, because footbal is great.

Works.

;);););););) <------- KIDDING.

:toast:

P.S. Football is great...and is played by armored men on Sundays, in case there's any confusion.

;)

[Duer 157099]

34. Viva la differance!

:toast: backatcha!

[krkaufman]

105. That Milo toon is bang on ...

... though the first image that came to mind was Peggy Noonan.

[seaglass]

132. Sorry, I'm a mother of two and the only way this story interests

me in the least is to see that Democrats are just as judgmental as Republians re: women's roles, work/life balance and what qualifies as being a "good" parent and what does not. It's been eye-opening, and not in a good way.

[gatorboy]

23. Considering that she enjoys mooseburgers

Would that mean she ate the father?


I'm off to Youtube with the scoop!

[ZinZen]

24. This story should not be out there

it makes us look desperate and gossip prone. Hands off the family members.

[Prefer]

25. SOme of us don't spend every fucking second of our waking life on DU

I just got on today and JUST heard about it,

Now you want to tell everyone we can't talk about it?

For Fuck's sake, why not?

[WilliamPitt]

30. Because I said so.

Because I haven't slept in nearly seven years.

Because I spend every moment here.

Because I'm insane, OK?

*twitch*

;)

[Prefer]

37. Wow - you are so clever and cool

we are just lucky to have the graces of your awesome formula writing.

[WilliamPitt]

45. Thanks. I'm here all week. Try the veal, and be sure to tip your waitress.

And don't go fuck yourself or anything, because that would suck.

[Prefer]

51. It's funny to see who is really who when the shit goes down.

As far as I can tell, I came in an hour ago and heard a rumor that will SINK the McCain campaign.

And along with that I see all kinds people running a fire drill to make sure that doesn't get talked about.

Why would one be desperately trying to keep people from find out about the meme that destroys the credibility of the pick and of the entire campaign?

Because you haven't slept in 7 years? What the fuck are you talking about?

[WilliamPitt]

56. "desperately trying to keep people from find out..."

Desperately?

Dude, I don't even have pants on right now.

You need to get out more.

Unless you're institutionalized, in which case "getting out" might not be such a whiz-bang idea.

See ya.

[Prefer]

66. Inviting everyone to join you in not caring?

sounds like "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain..."

I am looking for some inkling as to why this is irrelevant, you mentioned college football and Bullwinkle and a bunch of nonsense.

You could have at least made some case or offered some reasoning why you think this is irrelevant, but you just shit some nonsense, smirked about it and that's it?

What was it you were contributing to the group discussion here? Something of value? Because I missed it.

Oh wait, why ask - you've already demonstrated that you're just going to post some smart alec insult because someone called you on your bullshit.

Wow, how far you have fallen Mr Pitt... Pitt-iful

[WilliamPitt]

71. Contributing? Not much.

A little.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6850668

That one? Done with no pants. No pants, I say!

*insert smart-aleck remark you won't get cuz you don't seem all that smart*

Lather rinse repeat.

:hi:

[Prefer]

82. A bit of helpful advice:

Remember when Keith Olberman gave that first editorial against "You Sir, Mr Bush".

It was great. We all loved and appreciated it. Like your writing.

Then he did it again. And again. Last time he started into one of these things, I turned it off. I can't listen to the feigned indignation over and over. It's formula schlock that he is milking.

Frankly, I haven't been able to read your writing for about 6 years, for the same reason. You don't give the reader a reason to read. It's the same old bloviated masturbation, regardless of the topic.

[Starry Messenger]

83. When is your book coming out?

MPK

[Prefer]

84. Oh. Ok, I see

THIS must be the type of productive conversation Mr Pitt was trying to steer us towards with his OP.

"I'm smarter than you", and "you don't have a book"

Yeah, wouldn't want to waste our time on the implosion of the McCain ticket, when we can measure pee pees to see who is the "biggest man on the board".

[Starry Messenger]

87. I don't claim to speak for him...

But it looked like a post to just let off a little steam. There are about 2000 posts in here that deal with the Palin baby issue. It's hardly in danger of being shut down.

I'm sure you will find what you are looking for. As for pee-pee measuring, I'm sorry I can't join in the fun, since I'm a woman.

MPK

[Prefer]

90. So after all that you offer what I aked for?

an explanation?

Guess what. I was making tie dyes from 9 til 3 am last night, and today I was cleaning my house all day. Haven't been online. Haven't read the 2000 posts. In fact, I hadn't even heard about it, except for hearing she went back to work after 3 days and thinking, man I can't imagine that.

Only women I have heard of having a baby without showing are when they are pretty obese in the first place.

I think there is a potential sticky issue with the real father of the baby being legally defrauded of proper parental identification.

This is FUCKING MAJOR if true and FUCKING MAJOR if only something people will talk and speculate about. There are the TWO mysterious details - no bump and back at work after 3 days. This has all the makings of at least a whisper campaign that destroys the capability of this ticket.

To put it poetically - McCain hasn't even left the Aircraft carrier and the entire fleet on deck is burning and exploding - all over again!

That's my explanation.

Will Pitt is a talent writer and a great guy.

[Moochy]

131. Hear Hear

[Forkboy]

126. " Dude, I don't even have pants on right now."

So what's new?

Just yay! :evilgrin:

[mtnsnake]

[redqueen]

28. Nice imagery.

:puke:

[cliffordu]

29. NOT. IN.THE. LEAST.

[marylanddem]

31. I think it is important because, if true, it shows her up as a liar.

Who, just maybe, has created this bullshit myth of nobility - that she gave birth to a handicapped child after choosing not to abort it. And, because she opposes the right to choose, her actions in this area should be particularly scrutinized. Perhaps women get this more than men? Now, one of the more interesting theories I've heard is that the baby may not have Downs at all, but be part Inuit. So passing it off as Downs, perhaps? Probably not true, but possible.

[underpants]

32. It's a no win situation for anyone bringing it up

and most of seems to be based on photographs and trying to gleam medical information from them, what are we Bill Frist?

[Starry Messenger]

33. It was interesting for five minutes.

The next time she gets pregnant there better be a fucking star in the east. I'm sayin'

MPK

[azmouse]

36. I'd rather watch grass grow than see more rumors about that baby.

And baseball still has one more month to go in the regular season. Good stuff.

[Hippo_Tron]

38. I care about it in the sense that it could sink McCain if it turns out to be true

But otherwise I could care less.

[Quixote1818]

73. I am with you. nt

39. Yo.

What Baby?

41. You said *titti*

Sexist

[stray cat]

44. I felt the same about speculation that Edward's had an affair but that turned out to be true

and some think it could have affected the election if he were the nominee.

[flamingdem]

47. Smacks of Operation Chaos, a diversion and trouble for Dems nt

[jonnyblitz]

48. People obsessing over this don't realize how desperate and

PATHETIC they look. It's not like Obama is losing and we need to find something, ANYTHING to attack McCain over. :crazy: These SILLY fuckers need to get a GRIP and stop embarrassing themselves. I am beginning to feel sorry for them.

[WilliamPitt]

61. Nobody's really used to being involved in or supporting a campaign that's

actually going well.

Lots of folks around here have Tippi Hedron Syndrome, i.e. they always seem to look and act like they're being attacked by birds.

After the last 2,500 days, you can't blame anyone for it. Shit, I'm out of my fucking mind half the time, and I think Obama's doing all right.

So.

:)

[Prefer]

94. Adding to that...

there is this looming prospect of Republican victory through nefarious means. Yes, it bothers me when I read McCain-Palin leading Obama-Biden, even if I think the polls are bullshit.

For me, it is disturbing that there would even be the myth of a close race, because that's all they need to win.

Happened last two times - we are ahead on election day until 5:00 PM, when the trends are established and they know how many votes they need to steal at the tabulator to make it look like a plausible last minute victory for the republican.

[eleny]

49. Something that could bite us badly in the ass

[Better Today]

58. Not if we attack her on HER FACTS it won't bite us in the ass. See link here!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6850250

[eleny]

62. I will not touch it. Dan Rather thought he had facts, too

I'm in favor of pursuing Troopergate and also her many stated policies. They're bad enough.

[Better Today]

68. These are facts, undisputed. Regarding her lenghty and careless travel during

the pre-delivery period of a high risk, premature labor.

[eleny]

70. Until her doctor stands behind her. I won't step where I perceive a trap

Now, I'm done here. I understand your point and we disagree. Take care, beware, be careful.

[Better Today]

74. Her doctor does stand behind her. But wouldn't any reasonable person question a doctor

who doesn't even suggest a quick trip to any of the number of quality hospitals in Dallas just to check things out before being out of touch (medically speaking) for 8 hours with a high risk, premature, fluid leaking, contractions starting. . . . If you don't see this as an issue, I can't help you.

[eleny]

75. I'm not looking for your help - bye.

[Balderdash]

77. None of our business

.

[Better Today]

80. Her ability to respond appropriately to potential emergencies is certainly my business, since

she will be only one step from POTUS if McCain wins. (i cringe to even think it)

[JeanGrey]

118. It was careless because YOU say so? When her doctor

was in contact with her constantly? This story is going to blow up in our faces. Hell even if the kid wasn't hers, I can see them admiring her for "protecting" her daughter........they love this shit in middle America so keep it up at your own peril.

[Quixote1818]

78. The rumors have been floating around the Alaske legislature for months

It's not like the Democrats made this up. It's been out there for a while.

I actually agree with you for once.

I heard the other babies were actually devoured by her husband ala Cronus.

53. same old, same old....

over and over...
Very.Bored.Now

DU needs to get out of National Enquirer mode...
and get on with the task at hand...winning the 2008 election.

[Better Today]

54. I care because if she was pregnant and took over eight hours and a flight and a drive

before she got medical help, she was putting her baby at extreme and careless risk. It shows really poor judgment and should be shouted out from the rooftops! Take her at her word, and its an even bigger issue.

[JeanGrey]

119. She was in contact with her doctor. Gawd!

[katandmoon]

57. Nope. I find it fascinating. On the other hand I couldn't give a shit about

College football or the NFL.

[Richard Steele]

60. I've really been TRYING to give a shit, but so far...nothing. nm

[blue neen]

63. Actually, I do care. It shows what a hypocrite she is.

Sarah Palin is "pro-life" in ALL circumstances...rape, incest, whatever. They say it's supposed to be a "joy" for a woman to give birth and reproduce for the good of all man and womankind. Why should her daughter be denied the "joy" that these fundies so espouse?

It matters a lot when you think that the make-up of the Supreme Court could be in John McCain's and possibly Sarah Palin's hands. These people want to take away a woman's right to choose, yes that VERY choice that Sarah Palin took away from her daughter.

This is all assuming that the rumors are correct, of course. This doesn't even address the issue that the fundies think pre-marital sex is a sin, and abstinence is an effective birth control method.

Balderdash...it's still all about them controlling women's bodies. If the rumors are true, that's exactly what she did to Bristol.


Edited to say that I still love the Steelers!

[nam78_two]

64. I loathe her because of her environmental record-not much else registers for me really.nt

[Balderdash]

65. OMFG!

You have just restored my faith in sanity and the intelligence of Democrats and Progressives. Thank you!

[roguevalley]

85. yeah. it makes me muy uncomfortable. This is what national

enquirer is born to do. unfortunately for our man, John Edwards. This is bigger game yet for them. I just wanna hide.

[Rowdyboy]

86. The only thing less important to me than the advent of football is the maternity of Trig Palin.....

Who gives a royal shit about this ignorant nonsense?

[democritic]

88. My Hand is Down

definitely down.
I care about this. If Sarah Palin is so pro-life why did she
hide her pregnancy for seven long months???
Surely she wanted to celebrate the blessed event with
everyone. Her hidden pregnancy just doesn't jive.

[Rowdyboy]

89. Well even though we disagree, thank you for using your first post on DU to respond to me......

Welcome and hope to see you again.

[JeanGrey]

120. Maybe because her pregnancy is nobody's business?

Especially since she had a down's baby? Do you think that is easy?

And I think since she was always in contact with her doctor, our opinion doesn't mean shit.

[davsand]

91. She is dumber than shit and the rest is just fun for the kids.

Will I could give two shits about who is the mother of that kid. Makes me NO never mind who carried the kid or who birthed it and that is the gospel truth. I will say, however, that I am less than impressed with her intelligence and her lack of understanding of both Science or American History.

THAT lackwit is supposed to be the second in charge behind a really old man who has had multiple cancer outbreaks/scares? Get real.

This is potentially Forrest Gump's dumber sister with Dr. Strangelove's toys...



Laura

[Bombtrack]

92. I do give a shit, I'm a total whore for this stuff, but I don't buy the "evidence"

you can't just sweep the common knowledge of Downs babies being associated with older mothers under the rug. Nor point to videos and pictures of a woman dressed in the baggiest/most layered clothes imaginable as not possibly being 6 or 7 months pregnant.

I don't like Sarah Palin, but this is a whole lotta bullshit so far.

[JeanGrey]

121. A voice of reason...thank you.

[Kat45]

93. My hand is up.

The only thing I give a shit about Palin is that she's totally unqualified for the office. The rest of it, meh. I have plenty of more important things to care about than the baby, though I must say I don't give a rat's ass about football either. :D

[LeftishBrit]

95. Me- But I DO care about her fundyism, extreme anti-choice views, and support for Pat Buchanan!

And her willingness to destroy the environment and wild life.

[Malidictus Maximus]

96. Nor only do I not give a shit

I don't think too much of anyone who does.

- I didn't care that Bill got a BJ
-I don't care he lied about it
-I don't give a fuck if it's her kid or her daughters
-I don't care if she lied about it.

As a matter of fact I think people SHOULD lie when asked about things that are not anybody elses fucking business, which includes ANYTHING relating to family, or sex except in case of rape or harassment.

I expect politicians to lie. They all do. It's like athelets using steroids, I don't give a damn and consider anyone who does a bore and in need of a life.. The ONLY thing that matters is how well you do the job you're hired or elected to do.

Now, the fact that she's a nutcase in regards to the environment, LGBT issues and Choice (or the prevention thereof) DOES concern me.

[harun]

97. I don't care who the Repub candidate or VP candidate is because we

all know we get the same thing from a win from anyone in their party, and that is NOTHING. They keep everything the same.

[slackmaster]

98. *HAND*

I personally don't care. Politically, I think the rumor-mongering is likely to backfire and make the perpetrators look like a bunch of petty, juvenile, vindictive fools.

[flamingdem]

99. I don't give a sh*t about Palin and her babies... LET'S CHANGE THE CHANNEL nt

[SteppingStone]

100. *hand*

I could care less about the baby issue. However, I care very much about her experience (or lack there of) and her uber wacko RW leanings. If something happens to McPain she could be our next leader - ACK!

[Life Long Dem]

101. LOL!

That about covers it. Just don't quiz me on it. :hi:

[chiefofclarinet]

102. You know, I'm a political nut but....

this is getting ridiculous. There are lots of fair game topics about Palin: her insane religious beliefs, lack of experience in REAL government, her comments that make Dubya and McLame look like geniuses, McInsane's lack of judgment for picking her, even Troopergate. I think the baby is not our problem. It may backfire on McBush/Phalin', but it's not our business until it's official.

[krkaufman]

103. The only reason I'd care if she covered-up her daughter's preg as her own ...

... is if she did so as a political ploy: avoiding the negatives from her daughter having been pregnant, especially if Palin had ever advocated abstinence-only education, and to boost her anti-abortion cred.

I'll leave it to The National Enquirer to look into, though.

[mnhtnbb]

109. It is, hands down, the stupidest stampede I have ever witnessed on DU.

Fortunately, most of the old-time Duers are sticking to issues. It's mostly just tin-foiling chatter from the noobs who crawled out of the woodwork during the primaries.

113. I wish I could say I don't give a shit but the truth is the fixation

on this story annoys the hell out of me. A) I think it could backfire, and B) it drowns out real criticism.

why focus on the baby.

127. I don't really care, but I don't mind that people are digging either.

128. I find it somewhat disturbing and mostly inane.

If it somehow hurt McCain, thats good I suppose, but I don't really want us to end up looking petty and malicious in the process.

All that aside it is completely meaningless. We don't need babies of ambiguous origin to prove that abstinance only education is insane.

129. I think most of these posts were written prior to the "Breaking News", so this is moot, IMO. n/t

133. I had to raise my hand, and then lower it.

No sooner had I decared babygate the stoopidest non-issue ever when out of the blue, kablooie! Baby-babygate hit the fans.

Bristol's unmarried teenage pregnancy most certainly is an issue when the VP candidate:

1) is on the record as wanting to impose sexual abstinence misinformation and sexual terrorism on all of our children instead of actual reproductive healthcare information;

2) decides to subject her 5-months pregnant and unmarried daughter to national media exposure in order to advance her political career instead of simply telling Gramps "thanks, but now is not the right time, I have family issues that are more important";

3) was most likely chosen as a poster-mom for republican family values to draw the soccer mom suburban white independent female vote.

4) is on the record as proud of her daughters decision to keep the child, a decision she is also on the record as wanting to take away from all the rest of our daughters.

Its the hypocrisy, stupid. And it matters.

134. I believe the kids call this self-ownage

We get it... people think all the baby stuff isn't worth posting about. So we generate massive threads discussing whether we should be discussing it.

:crazy:

136. I care Will, I usualy agree with you but as a female who is a target

of her malicious need to ensure she decides what I do with my body, sorry, but I do care, you may no care and good on you but I feel as if this is personal..

[DefenseLawyer]

137. Are you asking if I personally care, or if I care that it is internet fodder?

I personally could care less, other than it is always amusing to note the "do as I say not as I do" aspect of the moral majority. But as nutty internet stuff goes, it doesn't offend or bother me in the least. I just don't see a downside, as it obviously isn't coming from the campaign.

138. Thanks.

K&R as well.

139. Count me in! I don't give a rats ass that her daughter is preggo.

[liberaldem4ever]

140. Personally I'm done with it and I'm ashamed I ever commented on it

There are lots of weird inconsistencies with the baby story but it can never be proved either way for sure. And so what it we did-the RW would turn it around and make us the bad guys.

It's sort of like a short tailed dog going round in circles chasing his tail until he passes out. Can't catch it, so might as well stop chasing it and concentrate on what could be the most dangerous ticket in my lifetime to our precious freedoms in this country. That's more important than who came out of whose womb when or a unmarried teenage pregnancy (I had one myself in 1980).

Besides, Barack Obama told me to stop and I love Barack Obama. :)

141. NO hand here.

If she's running on the strength of being a "hockey mom", then I want to see how her values and judgment stand the test. Focusing more on ambition and politics than family doesn't match the picture she's painting.

Yes, DU has gone overboard, but there are real flames behind the smoke.

[JerseygirlCT]

142. Agreed on the daughter thing

Not in the least interested in football starting, however. Now THERE'S a yawn, lol!

145. Will, I care - I listen to RW radio & the insidious, damaging pressure they put on women & families

Dr. Laura & her constant rhetoric against working mothers & childcare - She should be wondering what the heck this Palin woman is doing working while having 5 children to raise - She should also be stating "if this girl's mother was home supervising her children, none of this would be an issue" - But no, you won't hear this.

Do you think Rush will be calling her a feminazi for leaving her new baby and traveling around the US. - No, you won't hear any of this.

Now just imagine any of these life events happened inside the Dem party - Oh my God would you be hearing about it.

So yes I care. - This woman does not seem to be a good candidate to be one heartbeat from the presidency.
