This guy nails it on the head -- such bullshit from republicans right now and their fake backlash and charge of sexism...

Quote :

"Chris Hayes of The Nation: One of the most bizarre spectacles in modern politics is watching the Republican Party attempt to reverse engineer the Chris Matthews/Hillary Clinton-in-New-Hampshire-moment as a means of stoking some kind of feminist backlash in favor of their extreme-right-wing, Eagle-Forum friendly, pro-life, creationist candidate. The same one who called Hillary Clinton a whiner when she pointed out the sexism of the coverage she faced."

"CNN) -- It didn't take Republicans long -- and even some Democrats -- to try to dissuade the media from focusing on the news that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter is five months pregnant and plans on marrying the father. Aides to Sen. John McCain quickly took to the airwaves to deplore any conversation regarding Bristol Palin, saying the issue is private. Even Sen. Barack Obama made it clear that the children of candidates are off-limits. But of course, that didn't keep some folks from trying to score political points. "This is the pro-life choice. The fact that people will criticize her for this shows the astounding extent to which the secular critics of the pro-life movement just don't get it," Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, told David Brody of the Christian Broadcast Network. "Those who criticize the Palin family don't understand that we don't see babies as a punishment but as a blessing." Now, for everyone on the left and the right, please, shut up for a moment and consider the broader issue here. We have a crisis in America and Bristol Palin exemplifies that. She's an unwed teenager who is now pregnant, forced to raise a child far too soon. She is a teenager who chose to have pre-marital sex, which I thought many of these same evangelicals deplored based on biblical reasons. She is a teenager who had unprotected sex, and should thank the Lord that the young man she was with didn't have a sexually transmitted disease. According to The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, 46.8 percent of all high school students say they have had sex, which is a decrease from 54 percent. That's the good news. But we shouldn't be satisfied with almost half of our children making the decision to have sex. Many of them are doing so without any protection, and we have seen an explosion of STDs among teens in the country. In fact, Alaska has one of the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases among teens. I can't forget the young woman in the CNN documentary Black in America who talked about having sex for the first time, only to be infected with HIV. That one decision has altered her life in a significant way. It's worthy to examine the issue because Gov. Palin said in 2006 that she was dead set against any federal funding for sex education, but was an avid supporter of abstinence-only funding. But it's clear that abstinence-only didn't work in her own household. So, should she and her supporters re-examine their position? On my CNN Radio show yesterday, Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn, of Tennessee, wasn't too thrilled to discuss the issue of Palin's daughter. But when pressed, she said she still supports abstinence-only funding, and not sex education funding. "I think that is the way we have to work with our children and you have to engage parents in this issue," she said. "This is something you talk about at the kitchen table and you sit down with your children.""

Really good article from Roland Martin.

If I join the Democratic party, will I get to discuss such important political issues like the sex life of a child? Man that sounds like a great party with real priorities.

9/3/2008 10:25:30 PM

sure, why not. or, you can be a republican and be a closet homo.

9/3/2008 10:27:22 PM

Since you're such a liberal, can you show me which part of the Democratic platform deals with this topic?

9/3/2008 10:35:22 PM

you too must have been under a rock the last few days...maybe to protect your head from sunburn, who knows (and who cares)

9/3/2008 10:37:32 PM

I don't see how you have any room to talk about people being thread busters when you make posts like that.

Please, I'm trying to stay on topic here. Tell me which part of the Dem platform deals with "being above talking about being "intellectually above prioritizing a teenagers sex life".

I'll be waiting.

man with all the shit with myspace and facebook pics getting people in trouble, you would think that someone in McCain's camp would made it clear to remove any pics from community websites as such before your mom tries to run for VP.

This is a disaster for the republicans.

It does kind of show the trend for the future. Esp since kids are such fuck ups now. This is just foreshadowing how involved the kids of politicians are going to be in the running in the future
