Why would McCain want to threaten a teen mother''s benefits? These girl''s need help, it is not a good time to say, " either go to school or lose your benefits," as if that''s an option for all these girls. It''s not. And so for those girl''s who find it impossible to raise a child and go to school, what are they suppose to do? starve? No, we must make sure that they have enough to eat and that their babies don''t suffer. Give them help and don''t threaten to take it away.

interesting how when Clinton was scre0wing around it was a public outcry on part of these hypocrites. But now that the daughter of his vice presidential pick turned out to be a ho now it''s off limits. Moral of the story, be careful what you preach. She is not off limits and the democrats need to make a field day out of this.

God help us if McCain/Palin win the election. I believe McCain is another rich oil man just like Bush, just as out of touch with reality. For pete''s sake he even said he didn''t understand economics!. And as for Palin, I have no criticism of her child born with DS as I''ve seen some posters do, as the child had no control over how he was born, and I believe children with DS have just as much right to be born into this or any other society and be loved and supported by a loving family. They should not just be thrown away like a piece of trash in an abortion because they are not "normal". However, I''m very concerned about the inexperience of this woman in the political arena.

She has no experience in foreign policy, more experience I think fishing and dressing moose than she''s got in politics. And it sounds as though she''s got a lot, a whole lot, of skeletons in her closet. Like I said before, God help us if McCain and Palin get in.

worth reposting: my god people, use your brains for once! this Palin chick is one of the most under-qualified nominees in U.S. History!

Obama has no experience in Governing, which is what the white house is all about.

EHHHHH!!!! Wrong!

Obama''''s federal and state experience is MORE than NINE YEARS LONGER than this Palin''''s TOTAL experience in ONLY *state* government.

What''''s worse: She has NOT ONE day of federal government experience. What''''s even worse: She has ZERO foreign policy experience. She just got her passport LAST YEAR.

Obama has just as much pre-presidential experience as Abraham Lincoln.

Average life expectancy dictates that McCain will be dead before the end of his first term. McCain thinks this woman can be the head of the United States, including our military and nuclear weapons.

He thinks we can give Sarah a chance to show shes capable to deal with guys like HASSAN NASRALLAH from Hezbollah, AHMADINEJAD from Iran , MUQTADA AL-SADR, HUGO CHAVEZ and all the rest of Americas enemies and she just got her passport.

I will never vote for that kind of leadership.

Oh, and Palin is also currently under federal investigation. Obama and Biden are scandal free.

You won%u2019t like what you see. Levi Johnson is a crude, bad tempered little ape. He describes himself as a %u201CFu*king Redneck.%u201D He claims not to want children and threatens to %u201Ckick your as*%u201C if you ****k with him. Of course, The McCain folks are busy cleaning him up and making him media presentable. Boy, Bristol sure can pick %u2018em!
The %u201Cmarriage%u201D will be a farce, just a respectable showpiece to preserve Sarah%u2019s reputation and Bristol%u2019s %u201Cvirtue.%u201D And Sarah, as we all know, DOES own a shotgun! His MySpace web page has been prudently deleted. Just wait for the next disgusting Republican media freak show when Levi is trotted out, clean shaven and coifed, ready to declare undying love for Bristol and eager to become a responsible family man. Poor guy! He%u2019s gone from swaggering Alaskan teenage tough guy to Sarah%u2019s poodle. And believe me, he will do what he%u2019s told. Foiks, what we will see in the next few days will not be pretty. Shame, shame, on Sarah Palin!

"When school nurses & counselors distribute condoms, most teens see this as approval of premarital ***. I would have, wouldn''''t you? I think there are better ways to provide counseling."

oh for pity''s sake! clearly teens are having ***. (the gov''s daughter sure is--not to mention the gov herself--baby 8 months after marriage) wouldn''t we rather that they not have children before they''re ready, and/or spread diseases which might kill them? or to put it in terms that republican''s always seem to understand; would you rather pony up for birth control or child care? which will raise your taxes more?

I think it''''s terrible that nobody''''s talkin'''' about her baby''''s daddy. He should be pushed into the spotlight and forced by republicans to wear the scarlet letter of shame!
