The only comment I received in return was from thunder who thought her kids names were funny/odd. You know I was kidding about the names. Your mention of Palin was the first I had heard of her. I really didn't think she would be McCain's choice. |

Allow me to put a couple of thoughts down about the media circus. 1 - Take a look at the past weeks worth of headers posted by Harry. Take a look at the past weeks headlines from the MSM. Tell me what you see. Cast yourself in the role of an objective citizen and evaluate what, if any, points are being made about Governor Palin. She's everything that liberals promote as being "liberated" including, oddly, having actually made a choice with respect to aborting or not aborting a baby. The problem is, she is in favor of taking away a choice in that matter for everyone else. She wants the law to force them all to make HER choice. They couldn't flat out say "she was wrong not to abort a defective baby" (although a lot of diarists/commentators on DailyKOS and Democratic Underground did make that point) so they had to sidle up to it from different directions up to and including the most despicable thing I've ever seen in politics - attacking a 17 year old daughter of a candidate for office. Having a baby at her age was just plain ASKING for trouble. She should not have gotten pregnant. Abstinence! Well that certainly would have been a better plan than Harry's cavalier suggestion to kill an unborn baby. She's also dead set against sex education that would inform teens of ways to prevent pregnancy and STD's. That education would go a long way towards achieving what should be everyone's goal - as few abortions or unwanted babies as possible. I guess hat many would rather cavalierly rail against abortion than actual do something to reduce the need for it. I don't know anybody on eiother side of the issue that thinks abortion is wonderful. Teaching prevention is a VIABLE solution that would improve the situation in a real and tangible way. Extremist "all or nothing" attitudes don't help anything or prevent any abortions. In fact, they often increase the numbers of abortions. |

Oh absoutely - and I didn't mean to offend you, but it does make my case about Governor Palin and the complete and total surprize. How would Dims know if knowledge is evil, they have none. |

Teaching prevention is a VIABLE solution that would improve the situation in a real and tangible way. Extremist "all or nothing" attitudes don't help anything or prevent any abortions. In fact, they often increase the numbers of abortions. If you are a simple-minded "religious" rightie, as many are, you believe knowledge is evil. This is especially true with matters sexual. The righties feel that if they keep sexual knowledge secret, their children won't discover their various pieces and parts, won't have the urges that are perfectly normal in puberty and won't know what to do about those urges. But if they discover their sexuality and experiment, and get a disease or get pregnant, why that is punishment for sexual behavior and of course abortion is out of the picture because without a baby, there's no reminder of the "bad" behavior. Sadly, the odds of a successful marriage are against the Palin daughter and the brain-dead boyfriend they obviously are forcing into a shotgun wedding. This catastrophe is entirely the fault of the girl's parents, who figured if they kept everyone's head in the sand, their daughter would be a virgin when she eventually married.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - What a bunch of total ****.. you don't know anyting, and lie about it anyway.... |

And if you could get gas down just a little more, I'd appreciate it. That damn 4Runner gets only 10.7 mpg towing that trailer! |

"hk" wrote in message . .. Frankly, from her performance and from her "rep," my conclusion about her is that she is little more than a snarly bitch. Maybe. But, you have to admit, she's a good looking snarly bitch. Lots more fun than watching Biden sneer. Eisboch Did you catch the Biden "point and shoot"? That was pretty sad stuff. |

Your eye surgery was a failure. Eisboch The writer also referred to a regional dialect as a (foreign) accent. WAFA. |
