| Republican programs promoting abstinence-only DO NOT WORK. |
Republican theory on “abstinence only” just imploded with the news that Palin’s daughter, 17, is pregnant. Abstinence-only does not work. The Palins are exhibit A. Via
MSNBC:
Will you support funding for abstinence-until-marriage education instead
of for explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics, and the distribution
of contraceptives in schools?Palin: Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support.
As for Palin’s husband and his DUI, well, that was a “lesson
learned.” You know, because Republicans are all about forgiveness.
Yeah, so how are those Republicans “family values” talking points
working for you so far? As for policies in action, they’re a disaster, especially for women.
John McCain must be so proud of his veep. Of course, conservatives are rallying
to this GOP disaster. Cue hypocrisy watch. But no matter McCain’s statement
that his campaign knew about the illegitimate child, you’ve got to sense the
cow manure quotient in that one.
Republican “family values” are now in stark view revealing they’re
not worth the paper they’re written on when put into action. The Palin picture
is anything but what they preach. That John McCain got caught with his veepstakes
vetting down is obvious.
One can only imagine the wingnut hysteria if this story was about Biden or
Obama. The wingnuts would be railing that the Democrat who can’t seek out information
on his own veep can’t possibly keep America safe.
Republican policy for women and young girls leads to these types of train wrecks.
That conservatives are applauding Palin speaks for itself. Oh, she’s standing
by her daughter, who is currently caught in a firestorm, because of her mother’s
combination of ambition and ignorance. She had to know the scrutiny this would
bring. Why she’d put her daughter through it is beyond me. I find it selfishly unconscionable.
The Republicans continue to flail since McCain chose Palin, caught completely
flatfooted by the incompetence of his own campaign. Of course, as usual, everyone
is blaming “liberal bloggers” and the Obama campaign for the story, which is sheer desperation
in the hopes that McCain will once again get cut slack on his own sloppiness, because of those mean Democrats.
Looks like political war to me.
