This is just a brief update on my last posting made only a couple of hours after the announcement of Sarah Palin’s pick for the Republican Vice Presidents slot. Just today it was announced that Governor Palin’s oldest daughter is 5 months pregnant and unmarried. This has of course caused a feeding frenzy among the MSM, although Obama at least had the good sense to take a strong position (for once without any general nuanced double speak) that all of the current candidates families and especially their children should be “off limits” to media intrusion. The MSM has already seemed to imply that it is somehow the lack of moral standards of Palin that has resulted in her 17 year old daughters pregnancy, along with the not so subtle hints that perhaps if Palin wasn’t so busy pursuing her political career she would have been a better mother to her children.
This of course completely overlooks the incredible hormone driven lack of wisdom and perspective for teenagers of any generation. Palin’s daughter has been “in love” with the young father for at least the last couple of years as they have been boyfriend-girlfriend since about the start of High School. To hear our MSM talking heads speak you would think they had never been young once and had never made a mistake if they were. For people in a huge glass house of their own making it seems mighty reckless to me that they are so free with throwing stones.
Despite Obama’s unequivocal stance on this issue I don’t expect this will have much effect on the current MSM frenzy but it may help slow it up a bit within the next 24 hours or so. In the meantime the Larry King Show devoted at least half his program to whether or not this would have any significant impact on Palin’s candidacy. His guest speakers were fairly split between Republican and Democratic supporters but surprisingly included a “live” phone in with CNN reporter Kyra Phillips, who made her support for the DNC position clear. This is the same Kyra Phillips who would also appear on Anderson Cooper’s 360 program questioning how a mother of five, with her own 4 month old child which was born with Downs and now a 17 year old pregnant and unmarried daughter possibly be able to “juggle” the responsibilities of being the potential VP of the country. Of course no such questions have ever been asked about any male politicians where it is simply assumed that the politicians “little woman” would be tending to the children and daily family issues. Not surprising from our “neutral” media of today.
It shows yet again the complete double standard of the liberal left which is the bedrock of today’s Democratic Party. When Senator Biden’s wife and children were involved in a truly tragic car accident that left his wife and daughter dead and both his son’s in serious condition in the hospital, where were the accusations that Biden would either have to be a terrible parent for taking the senate position – he was after all sworn in while at his sons hospital bedside – or that he would be a terrible Senator due to the requirements of his personal family issues and grieving? Of course no such questions were asked or even considered as he was not a woman running for the senate seat.
According to at least one media report I heard earlier today some 8,000 to 10,000 demonstrators have descended on Minneapolis to raise holy hell with the RNC convention being held there. It is a sign of the times that almost as many demonstrators are showing up for an event that is reportedly drawing only a fraction of the numbers of supporters which attended the DNC convention last week. It should also be noted that only a few “demonstrators” showed up and they were very subdued. Despite the RNC convention basically being largely postponed there were still more than 80 protestors arrested or detained and this will no doubt be only the beginning for these elitist persons who believe that they are right and anyone who disagrees with them can go to hell. Groups like Code Pink fail to see the irony of their demands for love, peace and an end to war, even as they demonstrate their irrational hatred for our country and our traditional mores.
Apparently, since Palin is a woman everything that applied for Senator Biden is verboten for the fairer – and Republican – VP candidate. Either way I would like to make a personal little prediction here and now. If Obama loses his bid for the POTUS position, you will hear the liberal pundits such as the talking head, and CNN political pundit David Gergen, and the MSM in general blaming Obama’s loss on McCain’s “lucky” selection of Palin for his VP ticket which stole the poor misguided and uneducated American voters who were either to racist (but at least not to sexist), or to those bitter “gun toting” Americans who failed to realize what a real miracle they had in the personage of their chosen one, Barrack Hussein Obama. Of course they will also probably point out the numerous flaws in Obama’s campaign but I think you get my point.
In the meantime the MSM desperately continues to try and “pin down” Republican spokespersons and politicians to admit that Palin’s “utter lack of experience” should prohibit her being appointed to the VP slot. This only continues to allow the Republican and conservative base to repeatedly point out that she has at least as much experience as does Obama. I have noticed that most of the interviews are usually terminated at about this point.
On the plus side this has all been without any real response from either McCain or Palin thus far as Hurricane Gustav has severely impacted the first day of the RNC convention but once they do begin to be seen by the American public, I for one am confident that the good American people are going to make the best vote for our country, and the majority of those votes will not be for the Obama bin-Biden ticket. I look forward to the McCain/Palin duo taking the reigns for at least the next four years and the huge and long overdue dismantling of the ridiculous conservation “Green” lobbyists hold over the best interests of America and our vast natural resources hostage. I believe we will see a very bright future for the first time in a very long time and one that will immensely benefit both Americans and America.
The fact that it all started with McCain’s choice of not only a woman for VP, but such a strong woman as Palin, will be hailed as both a historical landmark in American politics and a real sign of the brilliance of McCain, which will no doubt be talked about for generations to come.
