And I hope you, the actual blog hopper, continue to read how to thwart Democratic attacks, and I hope your Republican bloggers do a better job of informing you about what Palin might be questioned on.

Most of the women I know personally are Leos, Aries, Sags and Scorpios. If you said in front of them that Palin should go home to Alaska, forget about running for VP and raise her daughter, they would tear you a new as$hole.

I never uttered at any time that she should "go home to Alaska." I strongly implied that she should rethink accepting the candidacy for Vice President while she has a four month old.

A good point. And thats why I think Tink posted that picture of Trig in a sling"

Other times the baby would be in the hands of nannies and elder sister and daddy

Relocation to DC may be a pain.

I grew up with a live in Nanny and a working mom. No complaints from my side.

I honestly don't see what's so unwholesome about condoms anyway. They stop pregnancy, they stop STDs. What's so unwholesome and ungodly about that?

Sure you can recommend abstinence first, but when abstinence fails, condoms should be used. If failin Palin' had taught her daugther that, her daughter wouldnt' be a 17 y/o mother. Her life is completely changed now because of it.

You want to talk about women's lib and etc., how about educating women about condoms and birth control so they dont' get pregnant as a teenager. So they can go to college and have careers and grow up to be women like Palin'?

Your nonsense suggestion that I'd line up behind Republicans who were doing and saying the same things the far left are saying about Palin is utter nonsense.

Otherwise, I'm not under the delusion that any of these political distractions amount to much. Fun distractions though! As a general rule, the more entertaining the distraction, the more important that truth from which we are distracted.

The only thing I've read that touches on the truth is this, courtesy of our eternally level-headed Capricorn ...

... if a Republican ever made the case that a mother of a Down Syndrome baby and a pregnant teenager shouldn't go for the office of Vice President, you'd all line up behind that Republican. You would all denounce that Democrat and Democrats in general for not having "family values."

I know it's true silverstone. There are women all over America seething at the misogynist statements coming off their TV screens and in their papers and on websites. Problem is, they can't get to the people who are doing it. God help them if these morons ever let something like that slip while in these women's actual presence.

The unwholesome is the lack of totality of the experience during that moment,don't you think? God is just an excuse. You could have one satisfied sex that moment or continue to have sex until your married with use of condom.

Both you and Obama talk about babies as if they are punishment to the mother. One side of it is truth, I agree. It could also be a punishment to the baby to come in to the world.

Perhaps the conservatives are right too . They don't want to run away from their resposibilities.

I believe , Abortion like suicide is an individual decision.

If ANYONE in my party said a woman with a special needs child should stay at home and was not qualified for a VP position I would have NO PROBLEM addressing that idiot. I find it sick that people here would actually use that argument.

Not only is Palin not a feminist, she's also anti woman....and, wait for it.....

A conservative Republican man in a woman's body.

The feminist blog site menstrualpoetry.com tells it like it is:

"After doing some research on this woman whom I've never even heard of before it became abundantly clear-Not only is Sarah Palin not a feminist, she is as anti-woman as Bush and McCain combined. That is the reason why McCain picked her; not because she is a woman and he wanted to be underhanded (which he totally did,) but because she's a Republican, conservative man who just happens to be in a woman's body."

Yikes, I hate to give to God when its due Caesar.

But I have seen in American politics people ask the candidates their view on God and morality and what not. So I guess I am not going tangential really

When you introduce morality in a society - Immorality is lurking somewhere. It manifests itself at some time. Was it AG that was commenting at some point? I can't remember.

With logic: Statement A and not of that statement can't be both true at the same time. Most logicians are like that.
Hence life is not logical it is dialectic.

It is rare that we are witnesses to the kind of smear campaign launched against Sarah Palin by Democrats, the left, and the media. The shocking virulence with which the attack has been conducted takes one aback with its audacity and nauseating hypocrisy.

The goal of the other side is nothing less than forcing John Mccain to withdraw Palin's name. Or failing that, making things so unpleasant for Palin that she asks to be let go. On both scores, the left has mounted an enormously vigorous challenge to Palin, going so far as to overthrow their own long held political positions on such issues as women's rights and abortion in order to attack her. The smear about Palin's child actually being her daughter's is largely laid to rest - except for those who now insist that Governor Palin was wearing a "fat suit" to fake the pregnancy pictures we saw on various websites.

Those people are beyond hope. But it is amazing how smoothly the left transitioned from that theme to other smears. Now the battle cry is that she is some kind of extremist for belonging to an organization called the Alaska Independence Party. Marc Ambinder debunks that attack quite cleanly by pointing out that the AIP is an accepted part of the Alaskan political landscape and is hardly an "extremist" organization anyway.

Through it all, Sarah Palin has maintained her composure, trying to shield her daughter while going on with the mission at hand - trying to get John McCain elected president. She has handled this very personal yet public situation extremely well.

Unless the left has something more damaging than what they've come up with so far, Palin will be on the ticket in November. Most of what they present as disqualifying evidence is so twisted with bias and outright falsehoods that they are easily tossed aside.

McCain has done his best to run interference for his running mate while Barack Obama has made the statement that the American people should understand that what is going on in the Palin household is private and should have no impact on the presidential race. While this is welcome from Mr. Obama, perhaps a statement asking his supporters to cease and desist in their rancid smear attacks on Palin might also have been a nice gesture.
