 dulios says: Black and white in America. Let's not forget the knocked-up daughter! God, could you imagine if one of Obama's daughters were 17 and pregnant? Do you think we'd be hearing the Right praising her for "choosing life"? I think we'd be much more likely to hear something like, "Do we need ghetto values in the White House?" Oh yes, it would go there, no question. Yet, these are the standards by which our government rules.  I'm sick of the WHOLE situation I think people are growing wise enough and smart enough and active enough that they realize WE -- we the people -- we must not vote for McCain. We must vote for better leaders. In the real world this means vote for Obama. I think it unfair to blame her for her daughter's pregnancy, BTW. Any parent knows kids will screw around and screw up. BUT -- this does point out the fatal flaw in her, Palin's approach to sex education, which is to teach/preach that abstinence is all the sex education provided.

True on, citizen. This election is about issues, but it also seems to be about how we as a nation are going to face the 21st century and the future.

That's the damn past. Even my born-again, evangelical, pro-life, lifelong Republican mom and dad are voting for Obama. Like many parents, they've been listening to their children, and finally came aboard after the Democratic Convention. And they'll be casting their 2 votes in Arizona!  Could you please have a chap with my mom and dad, too!?! The # is 1-800-VOTE-2-TIC-OFF-THE-KIDS. Thanks. katstevens I'd try... I can pretty persuasive... I am sure you are, but you can't get water from a rock. |
