1. and if i close my eyes

everyone in the room disappears!! woohoo

[Az]

2. The dem response should be to sidestep the talking points and go straight to the issue

Abstinence only sex ed does not work. Pound this into the ground. They will have no where to run and they can't go to their talking points as a response.

[Bucky]

7. Abstinance-only does not work. Pound this but NEVER MENTION Bristol Palin

The payoff is watching the Republicans get flustered, but not have the ability to counter it.

[Cha]

8. Excellent..they've given that

gift.

[Radical Activist]

3. No, it wasn't tradition for the talk radio crowd that went after Chelsea.

Need I remind those assholes of Limbaugh and others talking about how Chelsea looked in '92? Fucking hypocritical assholes. They deserve what they get.

[calimary]

12. Was it 1992? When did mcsame call her ugly and joke that it was because Janet Reno

is her father?

[Mz Pip]

4. I have no problem respecting Bristol's privacy.

Her Mom's? Not so much.

Her Mom is the one that thrust her out on the national stage. Now she's complaining about the attention. What did she think was going to happen?

5. Now they are bringing the child daddy to the convention

talk about hypocrites

[Occam Bandage]

6. These are all reasonable. Bristol is not our target. Sarah is.

[Bucky]

11. Um, that's cause they plagiarized them from Obama

Kids are off limits, period. Private family matters are private, period. The longer we repeat this, addingthe key phrase "unlike how the Republicans conduct themselves, Democrats believe in and live by the principle of the right to privacy"... the more it reminds swing voters who's stood up for decency all along.

9. Too bad SPERM don't go to church

they run wild and free, and must be captured for their own safety :)

[lurky]

10. "When were you planning to announce it?"

"Did you seriously think you could hide it while running for Vice President of the United States? Did you really think no-one would notice?"

These are questions I would like to hear answered.
