But I don't think the pregnancy will be negative for the 'values voters.' Firstly they think women are baby machines, and the wedlock thing (what kind of a word is 'wedlock' anyway?) is always optional, as long as appearances are preserved.
Which they will be here - the shotgun is ready and the cake is being baked. (As it were.)
But more than that it shows that Palin can be compassionate and forgiving of an all-too-human lapse, which will cement the love in the family and make everyone stronger.
Or some other bucket of Hallmark of that sort.
None of this is bad. It's only liberals who believe that family values are about families and values, when really they're just a redneck excuse to keep women barefoot and pregnant.
Remember - abstinence is better than sex, but getting pregnant is better than any form of contraception.
It's what women were made for, and god totally approves. And at 17 - well, that's actually kind of wholesome and sweet.
But, no, hear me on this: Among middle-aged fundies, this is not damaging. Among older fundies, the Republican ticket just turned itself into a billboard for all that is wrong with America. Now they compare that to the Obama family, which America is now in love with, and what do they think?
Key differences there. The unprincipled fundies are a larger group, but the principled ones are not insignificant. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
Old fundies simmering in a good way ... what an odd concept. Leaves a strange taste in the mouth. Will have to let it sit, pop some corn, and watch. In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
As Altemeyer teaches us, authoritarians don't do logic or consistency. A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith
Throw in the shotgun wedding and it's back on the trail for the Palin VP.
I, for one will not mention her name again. I'd like to hope others will do the same keep to the Fen Causeway
And there's more where that came from.
Purely politically, Palin comes across as one of those control freak middle managers who turn up, stir things up with a dose of pointless drama, suck up to the higher ups, and are terminally useless at getting anything productive done.
I'm guessing it's going to be another bad week for McCain.
He needs a good week.
If he has to throw Palin under the bus, he may well be dead. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
This is an absolute disaster for McCain. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
Palin, truly Sarah is funnier than Michael. keep to the Fen Causeway
Again, Palin is insane. The evidence is mounting. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
God, I love this place! LOL! In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
Obama played under the radar with his statewide ads and built a national message without us seeing it. McCain has to somehow counter that. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
It is?
