I just love how some of you think that one religion has "crazier" followers over another.
Its obvious that her daughter did something that she has moral qualms with. She did what she considered was the best option given her situation: have her daughter have her baby.

Alaska has an unconstitutional and unenforceable criminal ban on abortion.
not the case in most civilized states, where the govenor/your mother doesn't get to tell a teenager/woman what to do with her body 9/9/2008 1:40:53 AM |

WASHINGTON - A new poll shows Republican John McCain — riding a wave of enthusiasm for his vice presidential pick Sarah Palin — pushing past Barack Obama, wiping away the advantage the first-term Illinois senator enjoyed coming out of the Democratic National Convention.
Palin, in her first term as Alaska governor and the Republican Party's first-ever female nominee for vice president, electrified last week's Republican National Convention with a sarcastic, slashing speech that denigrated Obama's readiness for the U.S. presidency and energized the deeply conservative Republican base.

Quote : | "New polling shows that John McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, is pretty popular. With a favorable rating of 58%, she beats both of the frontrunners. On the one hand, this is good news for Team McCain, who are now enjoying a post-convention bounce in the polls. The bad news is that political common wisdom holds true -- people don't vote for things, they vote against things, so high favorables don't mean a lot. Add to this that people don't tend to be very influenced by the second slot -- 55% say it won't influence their decision -- and she's pretty much a wash. In fact, polls show that if there's any effect, it's a negative one. Support for the ticket has gone down among women, thanks mostly to Palin's extremist views on abortion.
But popular is popular. The reason for that popularity is easy to explain; the only thing most people know about her is what the McCain camp is telling them. Sarah Palin isn't a candidate, she's a projection cast by the Republican propaganda machine. The words she spoke at the RNC weren't hers, but those of former Bush speechwriter Matthew Scully. All Palin really did was read it well from a teleprompter -- not much of a challenge for a former TV sportscaster. We have yet to see Sarah Palin as Sarah Palin, Governor of a state with a population the size of Baltimore.
It's said that familiarity breeds contempt, but it might be more true that ignorance breeds acceptance. If all the world knows about Sarah Palin is the glowing bio put out by the campaign and words she read on TV, then it shouldn't surprise anyone that people seem to like her. She's an advertising campaign; she's designed to be likable.
So the McCain campaign is going to great lengths to protect that ignorance by keeping her away from the media. At this point in time, Sarah Palin hasn't been asked a single question by the national media. She has never said a word in her own voice. Palin handlers, not wanting to screw up their marketing campaign by letting people see that she's an actual person, have been very careful to protect the ignorance that's working so well for them.
[Jake Tapper, ABC News:]
Rick Davis, campaign manager for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., just told Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace that McCain running mate Gov. Sarah Palin won't subject herself to any tough questions from reporters "until the point in time when she'll be treated with respect and deference."
Davis assailed the way the media had discussed Palin and her family in the last week and said the campaign would wait until a less hostile media environment.
Deference? What is she, the Queen of the North? It may just be a poor word choice, but I don't think it's the media's job to defer to a vice presidential candidate. This is a job interview, not an infomercial. Not surprisingly, Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, agrees.
"She's a smart, tough politician,” Biden told Tom Brokaw on Meet the Press Sunday. “So I think she's going to be formidable. Eventually, she's going to have to sit in front of you like I'm doing and have done. Eventually, she's going to have to answer questions and not be sequestered. Eventually, she's going to have to answer on the record.”
Sooner or later, she's going to have to cut the marionette strings and come down off the stage. But Team McCain has a cunning plan. Put Sarah on TV for a fluffball interview with a friendly interviewer.
"Sarah Palin will be interviewed by ABC anchor Charlie Gibson later this week in Alaska, her first time facing the press since being tapped as John McCain's running mate Aug. 29," writes Jonathan Martin for Politico. "Per AP, the campaign offered the sit-down to the network a few days ago and it will take place after Palin returns to her home state this week."
In agreeing to sit down with Gibson, they managed to find the one network news guy most likely to ask, "Gee but you're awesome. Why is that?" Bill O'Reilly must've been busy.
It was Gibson who asked George W. Bush, "You took a lot of doubting and rather skeptical questions about the surge. I'll give you a chance to crow. Do you want to say, I told you so?" And it was Gibson, with George Stephanopolous, who turned the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary debate into an attack on Barack Obama. In fact, Gibson's performance as a moderator in that debate was so transparently biased that he was booed by the audience. Anything's possible, but I doubt anyone will describe Gibson's interview of Palin as hard-hitting or tough. No other interviews have been scheduled.

Nah, just tell me to shut up and it'll all be good.
Remember kids - if someone brings up an inconvenient truth - just tell them to shut up. It works for Republicans, so why not you?

You're right. It's about flaws in a particular VP candidate that are manifestly the same in the guy you like.
So, let me see if I understand, here. Sarah Palin is a raging thundercunt for those reasons, but you'll still rage out on anyone who attacks Obama/Biden. Despite Joe Biden having those exact same flaws.
How are you not a hypocrite, now? I mean, you're the one going out and bitching about the exact same flaws found in your slate's counterpart. 9/9/2008 10:12:48 AM |

Last I checked, Biden and Palin were both VPs on their respective slates. Which means you vote for the top, you're voting for the bottom too. And I don't hear you complaining so hard about Biden, despite the fact that many of these things you complain about are exactly the same.
So why so quiet? Not very proud of the fact that Obama picked someone much like Palin in his views for his own running mate? Can't even own up to the fact that you'll be voting for the same goddamned thing you're complaining about (and will be cheerleading for the next two months) in November?

SHE MUDERS PUPPIES
SARA PALIN MURDERS PUPPIES
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cheri-shankar/palin-shows-no-love-for-b_b_124532.html
Quote : | "On a beautiful Alaskan summer morning in July of this year, a litter of 4-week-old wolf cubs were napping in the safety of their natal den, cuddled together, little bellies full of mother's milk when suddenly they were roughly pulled, half asleep, into the light of day and one by one, had their brains blown out by a bullet to each one of their tiny little heads. Who could do such a thing? A group of Alaskan state employees who were helicoptered into the wolves habitat at the behest and with the blessing of Gov. Sarah "Terminator" Palin, that's who.
On federal land it is illegal to kill pups in their den (a practice charmingly referred to as "denning") but the mother wolf had made the grave mistake of giving birth to her babies on state owned land, so Palin's posse had the legal right to kill those pups on the spot.
photo credit: First People
The reason Palin and her mighty hunter pals want to kill off most, if not all of the wolves (and bears) in Alaska is to reduce the hunter's competition for the elk and caribou. Even though generations of Alaskans have negatively impacted the caribou and elk population through over-hunting, logging and other human activity, somehow the wolves are being made to pay the price for the decimation of these herds. What state game officials in Alaska will tell you is that it is necessary to kill predators in order to sustain the elk and caribou population, but what they won't tell you is that they kill wolves, bears and other predators in order to artificially boost the herd numbers so there are plenty of animals for the hunters to shoot. Given that only a tiny fraction of the U.S. population must hunt for sustenance and given the fact that our grocery stores are brimming with meat for our dinner tables, why must we mess with the main source of a wolf's diet?
In her all out war against the wolves, Gov. Palin used the power of her office to help defeat a ballot measure in Alaska last month that would have banned the cruel and decidedly unsportsmanlike practice of aerial hunting of wolves. She approved a $400,000 state-funded propaganda campaign to promote aerial hunting and proposed to pay a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of every wolf killed. She is also helping to pass legislation to make it even easier to hunt wolves and bears from aircraft.
And if you are wondering what happened to the wolf cub's mother, well, she, along with the rest of her pack, were killed by the same state employees, only in the mother wolf's case, she died by a bullet (or two or three) shot from a helicopter.
No one can express how I feel about hunting better than Matthew Scully, author of Dominion: The Power of Man, The Suffering of Animals, and The Call to Mercy one of the most compassionate books ever written about animals. He writes: "Such terrifying powers we possess, but what a sorry lot of gods some men are. And the worst of it is not the cruelty but the arrogance, the sheer hubris of those who bring only violence and fear into the animal world, as if it needed any more of either. Their lives entail enough frights and tribulations without the modern fire-makers, now armed with perfected, inescapable weapons, traipsing along for more fun and thrills at their expense even as so many of them die away. It is our fellow creatures' lot in the universe, the place assigned them in creation, to be completely at our mercy, the fiercest wolf or tiger defenseless against the most cowardly man. And to me it has always seemed not only ungenerous and shabby but a kind of supreme snobbery to deal cavalierly with them, as if their little share of the earth's happiness and grief were inconsequential, meaningless, beneath a man's attention, trumped by any and all designs he might have on them, however base, irrational or wicked."
Irony of ironies, Matthew Scully also happens to have penned Palin's successful and effective vice presidential acceptance speech. How strange a world we live in and all its contradictions.
If you want to help the fight for the survival of American wolves, please visit Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to learn more. And here is a video that will show you all you need to know about aerial hunting.

I'm no fan of Sarah Palin, but I agree with Tenacious J that this kind of discussion doesn't cast Obama supporters (a group I belong to) in a good light. The posting on this message board are largely inconsequential, but it'd be better if the most visible Obama supporter isn't calling Palin "a cock-juggling thundercunt". 9/9/2008 12:34:05 PM |
