I still can't believe they did it: they paraded sex outside of marriage & REWARDED it with approval

[patrice]

on a national stage.

I'm old and "experienced", but I'm absolutely FLOORED that they would actually do such a brazen thing.

[valerief]

1. They're gonna be smoking joints at their next gig.

[patrice]

4. Yep! and Sex in the halls.

[susanna]

13. I found a really good tie-dye supplier if they need it! n/t

[mnhtnbb]

2. They stole two elections without blinking.

[Kukesa]

3. How does a Repub explain that to a 14-year-daughter? n/t

[patrice]

7. I have absolutely NOOOOOOOO idea! And I'm pretty damned good at speculatin'!!!

[trueblue2007]

25. How do you explain Ms. Upstanding Govenor is messing around???

[trueblue2007]

28. how do you explain Ms. Govenor is messing around on her husband???

They raked Clinton over the coals and tried to impeach him!!! HYPOCRITES!!

They lie to suit their own evil purpose.

[Neshanic]

5. Now maybe, just maybe people get what type of creatures we are dealing with.

[patrice]

12. They are "ends justifies the means" types.

The problem with that assumption is that you have to be GOD to make that kind of judgement about your "ends"/goals. It's BLASPHEMY!

[Neshanic]

23. That and God forgives all. Again and again and again and again...

[patrice]

27. Just like McCan't said at Saddleback; Christianity means "I'm forgiven and saved."

No need to get it right, no need to figure anything out. The deal's done. Don't worry about RESPONSIBILITY.

[Neshanic]

29. It's serial salvation, serial saves. There is not a limit, so therefore...

[Elidor]

6. I keep waiting for Fox's "baby daddy" headline

Oh, wait. That's right. I don't. Because I know better.

[msongs]

8. what does PALIN's family values bible say about unmarried sex? Its the hypocrisy doh nt

[dchill]

17. Don't forget forgiveness, understanding,

and dispensation because IOKIYAR. :hi:

[grateful581]

9. fucking hypocrites n/t

[kath]

10. I still can't wrap my brain around that, either, Absofokkinlutely mind-boggling.

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[patrice]

16. I mean, it's not like we all don't have these experiences, but to ELEVATE it for the ADMIRATION

of others. . . Wow, holy, f-ing WOW.

[Cleita]

11. Yeah and now the Enquirer is digging up an affair she had with her

husband's business partner. I guess that's okay too. Maybe they were swingers. Who knows. The hypocrisy is astounding especially after what the media did to John Edwards where he couldn't even attend the DNC convention because of the shame.

[priller]

14. Because they're members of the tribe

It doesn't matter what else they do, they didn't get an abortion. So all else is forgiven.

[kurth_]

15. They're the Party of Thieves and Liars

Too bad they are not going extinct anytime soon.

[patrice]

19. Right, they aren't. This whole thing is about insuring a block of voters who WILL

vote for whom they are told ABSOLUTELY no matter WHAT.

Ever see the movie Animatrix? I kept thinking of it tonight.

[WA98296]

18. We can't criticize them, they are morally superior.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. Next, they'll let gay people touch their hair for once.

[patrice]

24. ? I don't get it; What's wrong with that?

Republicans will let Gay folk touch their (the Republicans') hair?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. Gay hairstylists.

Because Republicans tend to have that crappy helmet hair look.

I remember Jon Stewart making the joke awhile back when showing the pics of those Republicans: "This is what happens when you don't let gay people touch your hair!"

[patrice]

30. LOL! Thanks! That might not be such a bad idea; maybe they'll learn how to dress and

talk about books and movies and such . . .

[BrklynLiberal]

21. HYPOCRISY as always been their strong suit....

They are consistent about that, anyway.

Just brings to mind an old song..
"How can you believe me when I say I love you when you know I've been a liar all my life?"

:rofl:

[Neshanic]

22. Why would anyone be surprised. Really. They are Republicans.

[Zookeeper]

31. It's part of creating her image as "a regular person like us"

I'll bet that a lot of abstinence-only Rethuglicans have had pregnant minor children. They will see Sarah Palin as reassurance that they aren't bad parents after all; you know, "It can happen to anybody! Even a Republican governor! And her daughter didn't kill her baby!"

This is yet another Rethuglican attempt to appear populist.

[LibDemAlways]

32. Imagine the unmarried pregnant teen daughter of a

Dem candidate for VP taking the stage with her gum chewing boyfriend, and then imagine repuke heads exploding. It would be called "a sickening immoral display" "depraved" "flaunting teenage sex" "displaying a complete disregard for any standards of decency" "showing lack of respect for the importance of the occasion" and anything else they could think of to throw at them. RW pastors all around the country would rally the troops with cries of "Godless fornicators" and "this is what we've come to expect from the liberals." It would be a feeding frenzy the likes of which hasn't been seen since Jaws.

Of course the Dems wouldn't nominate someone with an unmarried pregnant teen daughter because they would consider it too politically risky. They know what the repukes' reaction would be.

It just amazes me that the repukes can get away with absolutely anything and their base will applaud it.

[tblue37]

33. IOKIYAR nn/t

[Algorem]

34. when's the shotgun wedding?is it gonna be on the tv?

them young fornicators better be gettin hitched up right and proper in God's eyes pronto.

[hexola]

35. NO WAY they get married - wont the child get better health care if she stays single? (nt)

[Algorem]

39. plenty of faith healers around

[Tennessee Gal]

36. What will we tell the children?

Hypocrisy?

[Vinca]

37. This must be good news for all the young, black, unmarried women

formerly ridiculed by the Republicans as welfare queens.

[DeeDeeNY]

38. They did quite a makeover on the baby daddy

Cleaned him up well.
