Deb's thoughts

lol, when is the media going to let go?...lol... its their job.

I think this is news. Not the biggest or most important story, but an item that should be discussed.

The reason is because I am quite CERTAIN that if this had been the Democratic VP candidate, it would be a completely different matter, but of course! I can hear the charges and the Rush attacks now: Just an example of liberal morals, a mother like this should not lead, what kind of an example are they setting, etc. etc.

But it's okay this time, because it is a conservative, "soccer mom" who loves to shoot high-power assault rifles and hunt cariboe. (Some "average soccer mom", eh?) The same examples of immorality the pathetic religious far-right hammers when liberals do it are just fine when it's good, clean hypocrites who do it!

Just like drug abuse - oh, imagine the outcry if Clinton's daughter had been caught obtaining illegal prescription drugs to abuse! But, it was so okay when the Bush daughters did it that it is essentially forgotten (well, I haven't forgot).

I agree with Obama that family should be off limits, and I am confident he will live by his word. The media shouldn't let us forget, however, that if this situation were reversed, I'm just as confident the right-wing religious extremists of the Republican party would be painting her as having too loose morals to lead the country. It is the Republicans who can never separate public from private lives (i.e. Clinton's famous BJ), so it is only fitting that this issue be brought to the forefront to expose yet another example of conservative hypocracy.

i my self dont think its a big deal, after all obama was born when his mother was unmarried and 18, and look where he is now, i just think that the media reports the news, its their job, why is it so hard to understand for some people, that the medias going to report it if its news.

I agree Rosie its there job. But she also is 17 years old going thru this amazing time and yet a personal one in her life. Its been said now lets let it go. Again she is the first teen to have a child. Why is so big news that she is going to have one.

Most of todays media is nothing , but bought and for left wing nuts . That said the media loves any story that they think is causing someone else pain .
How many fell good stories do we see ?

Had clintons daughter got in trouble the nation wouldn't have known anything about it. the liberal media would have seen to that!

Little and Sik, Please clairify. I thought it was Jeb Bush's daughter that was caught obtaining illegal prescription drugs. Did I miss something?

funny how people like Right Moves always put a spin on it when the focus is on a conservative. Have you ever noticed how many conservative Republican talk shows stink up the airwaves every day? How is that for balance journalism. Gosh...Rush Limbaugh has made a living bashing the liberals every day of the week for years. So now when a Republican candidate is being scrutinized, they cry all day long. Know what? I couldn't care less about Palin having a pregnant daughter but there are a lot of other things that perhaps we should look at...like can a woman whose only experience is running a state for 18 months run the country should something happen to a 73 year old President. What are you all afraid of?

This is the most ridiculuous thing I have ever heard. If you are a republican all you can see is the bashing of the republicans. If you are a democrat all you see is the bashing of the democrats. There is plenty of bashing going on between both.
My personal opinion is to compare Clinton to Palin's daughter is silly. You are talking about something the president did and on the other hand something a VP candidate's DAUGHTER did. When you were 17 could your parents control everything you did? Mine couldn't. Does a poor choice on your part make your mom terrible? I think not.
Is it news? Yes, I think it is. I think we as voters deserve all the background we can have on our candidates. If they leave this out what else are they leaving out on all parties? I personally want to know everything I can know on all of them.
For the record, a pregnant kid will not make my mind up to whether she is qualified or not to be our VP.

Angiewab...You don't need or deserve all information on these candidates. Some things are personal.
The liberal media is covering up many things about your messiah....crooks for friends...friends who hate America.....and I saw no press frenzi about obamers family of half brothers, maybe brothers, his unwed mother, or bis brother who lives in a hut.....Why do you suppose that is? And someone said the media covers both parties the same...Are you kidding me?

You need to wake up!
