Sarah, how do you really feel about your 17 year old daughter who is five months pregnant marrying an 18 year old high school dropout who is a self proclaimed “fucking redneck” and who “doesn’t want children”?
It’s tough to believe that the 'Pubs trotted this guy out for a photo op and people ate it up.
I’m a fuckin’ redneck who likes to
snowboard and ride dirtbikes.
But I live to play hockey. I like to
go camping and hang out with the
boys, do some fishing shoot some
shit and just fuckin’ chillin’ I guess.
Ya fuck with me I’ll kick ass."
The McCain campaign flew him from Alaska to the convention, trotted him out for the photo op and McCain warmly greeted him. He’s 18 years old and what the campaign did makes him fair game. He’s got to realize it’s time to be a man. He knocks up his girlfriend and then QUITS HIGH SCHOOL. Don’t tell me he had to get a job. If the Palin family wouldn’t help out their daughter so that their future son-n-law can at least get a high school diploma then they are scum.
They are all fair game because of the total hypocrisy of the situation.
Your other thread got closed while I was composing a reply. But I think my response is just as good in this thread, so here it is:
I hesitated in bringing this thread back from where it was already halfway down the page with nary a single comment. But let me take you way way way back in the past for a history lesson. It started, oh, two weeks ago, when Palin was announced as Vice President. Immediately afterwards, the story of Bristol broke and both sides went apeshit.
The left screamed about hypocrisy. The right that family was offlimits. The left countered that there were legitimate policy issues to discuss. The right said you shouldn’t denigrate Bristol. You shouldn’t attack her. The left - and this is key - said they weren’t attacking Bristol. The issues here aren’t about Bristol. Bristol is irrelevant to the larger issue. And the left was, well, right.
So what do you do? You search out other sites for your recreational outrage and submit them here. Today’s submission comes in the form of our own hypocrisy. Is Palin’s family somehow now fair game for the firing squad? Where’s the policy issue here?
Is the drug war bad? A legitimate concern that was brought up in neither your OP or the article.
Is it right to use the army as an alternative to incarceration? It’s Hammer Time baby because that subject’s too legit to quit.
But no. The whole fucking point of this rant is to say how fucked up Palin’s kids are. Well wonderful. I’m sure they also impale hookers with moose antlers attached to their snowmobiles. But I’m not really voting for Palin’s kids. So what’s your damn point other than yet one more freakin’ Palin thread?
Yeah, and there should be at least two threads on how you don’t like her glasses, because she wore glasses at the convention so they’re fair game, and it’s such an important issue. You’re right, bullshit x 2.
