Sarah Palin and Issues of Pregnancy, Abortion, Abstinence, HIV.
By: bluegal @ 4:20 PM - PDT
This blog deliberately did not cover the internet rumors that have absorbed so many this weekend. None of the children of any political candidate should be held under vicious and unfounded media scrutiny.
That Sarah Palin’s campaign blamed liberal bloggers for “forcing her” to announce the pregnancy of her 17-year-old daughter is another atrocious lie following her “bridge to nowhere” funding flip-flop. The rumor that Palin’s fifth pregnancy was “well-disguised” came directly from a fellow Alaska Republican, State Senate President Lyda Green.
A great many young people in our country become pregnant or worse, contract a sexually transmitted disease, every day. We have nothing to say about the young Palin and her unfortunate situation.
We have a great deal to say about the Republican Party and its POLICIES regarding sex education, reproductive choice, HIV prevention, and let’s not forget their complete hypocrisy regarding homosexuality and civil rights. Sarah Palin’s stands on these ISSUES are contrary to feminism, the health of our young people, and everyday common sense.
Is it a surprise to anyone that Sarah Palin is an advocate of abstinence-only programs, and opposed sex education in Alaska’s schools?
The New Republic reports that earlier this year Palin “used her line-item veto to slash funding for a state program benefiting teen mothers in need of a place to live.”
Again, this is not about Sarah Palin’s daughter. Although it would be if she were homeless, Governor.
It is about a government that has failed to make responsible decisions regarding public health policy, and the completely irresponsible positions the Republican Party takes on those issues.
Sarah Palin should be ashamed, because she is a Republican.

The Biggest Piece of Shit in America:

Steve Schmidt is a veteran campaign strategist and public relations expert. In his career to date he has been (from sourcewatch):

* Communications director for Senate campaign of Matt Fong. (1998)
* Chief strategist in charge of Supreme Court nominations of Samuel A. Alito. and Chief Justice John Roberts
* Counselor and spokesman for Vice President Dick Cheney.
* Member of the exclusive "breakfast club" led by top White House adviser Karl Rove that ran President Bush's re-election campaign. (2004)
* Campaign Manager for re-election campaign of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. (2006)

Currently Steve Schmidt is working as a campaign strategist and advisor to 2008 Presidential campaign of Senator John McCain. On July 2, 2008, Schmidt was promoted to heading up day to day operations of the McCain campaign in response to concerns that the McCain campaign was losing ground to Obama.

Since that point, July 2, 2008 - the Republican attempt to win the presidency has reached new lows almost daily as McCain appears willing to sell whatever was left of his soul and the shine of his one heroic act to win the White House so that he can give his friends more money and fritter away whatever's left of the American economy and its standing in the world in the pursuit of giving that money to his friends.

This was the man who helped Frenchify John Kerry and who seems to understand that his position is basically only made in negative assertion of the other because his own candidate's positions are antithetical to any sane approach to government.

I despise McCain for his willingness to leave important issues in the stink of name-calling and pointless assertions of gym-attending, but it's the Steve Schmidts of the world who I hope to God one day are forced to give account of their actions to an awakened American public. And I hope on the day that happens that after giving account, he will have to climb back into the sewer he's emerged from and is never seen again.

Even Larry Craig voted Yea. Of course, he does like a man in uniform.

Hillary: "Stop me before I bullshit again"

Clinton Desperate to Count Votes, Compares Fla. Primary to Zimbabwe

SUNRISE, FLA. -- Desperate to get attention for her cause to seat Florida and Michigan delegates, Hillary Clinton compared the plight of Zimbabweans in their recent fraudulent election to the uncounted votes of Michigan and Florida voters saying it is wrong when “people go through the motions of an election only to have them discarded and disregarded.”

“We’re seeing that right now in Zimbabwe," Clinton explained. "Tragically, an election was held, the president lost, they refused to abide by the will of the people,” Clinton told the crowd of senior citizens at a retirement community in south Florida.

funny (if it weren't really happening)

Q Is it ever reasonable to restrict constitutional freedoms in the name of fighting terrorism?

MS. PERINO: In our opinion, no.

Speak Out! Give Me $$$!!!

My gmail suggested I take a look at this site:

Neuter Mike Vick T-shirt - nxxxxmv.com/Mxxxk.html - Buy your neuter Mike Vick t-shirts and speak out against Mike Vick.


Isn't speaking out against Mike Vick kind of like being against cavities and clubbing seals right now?

Why do I need to speak out against Mike Vick? Am I making some kind of noble statement? Suffering for my beliefs? With a t-shirt?

Get me one of these anti-defense of marriage shirts - I'll wear that.
