Family values includes the notion that family members are human, make mistakes and you love them nonetheless. Only in your narrowminded liberal world does "family values" mean fire and brimstone and no forgiveness for those who exhibit human failings.mackenzie197https://www.blogger.com/profile/01040468150823277091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-69466423022616287542008-09-02T15:40:00.000-05:002008-09-02T15:40:00.000-05:00I believe that the girl should be left alone-- out...I believe that the girl should be left alone-- out of the press. Sadly, her mother did not and has used her to explain away the rumors instead of simply releasing her own medical records. Watch that poor girl's face the next time you see that family trotted out for the world. <BR/><BR/>I can't believe any loving mother would put her own personal political ambitions ahead of her child's well being -- just as she did when she returned to work 3 days after giving birth to her Down's afflicted son. <BR/><BR/>This has nothing to do with abortion. It has to do with common human decency and compassion for your own family. Or do politicians only really consider that when they have to resign using "family issues" as a convenient cover?<BR/><BR/>This time around, it looks like the Republican "Our Family Values Should be the Law" Party is the hypocritical crowd, while the DEM "Make your Own Responsible Choices" Party ticket has two long standing wonderful marriages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-19318669669188452792008-09-02T14:43:00.000-05:002008-09-02T14:43:00.000-05:00No one holds it against the 17 year old....it happ...No one holds it against the 17 year old....it happens in lots of our families...the shame is the double standard of her mother and the fact that her mother is allowing her to be used......where are her family values that she preaches about so often???? hypocrites!!!artfugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364503656694166926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-2213655179779870202008-09-02T13:56:00.000-05:002008-09-02T13:56:00.000-05:00Although Julia Porter was born out of wedlock, she...Although Julia Porter was born out of wedlock, she was quite legally married to Sam Carson when she had her own two children...Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/14214029150233485312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-10190070199483510842008-09-02T13:07:00.000-05:002008-09-02T13:07:00.000-05:00The only dirty laundry will be diapers after the k...The only dirty laundry will be diapers after the kid is born.<BR/><BR/>No one, not even Andy Jacobs Jr, held it against Julia Carson that SHE had child(ren) out of wedlock.<BR/><BR/>Nay, she was a hero for beating the odds.<BR/><BR/>What we have here is a double-standard being applied by the Dems.Bart Lieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294734264133374462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-86449408198660348252008-09-02T10:12:00.000-05:002008-09-02T10:12:00.000-05:00That being said, I think it's sad that her mother,...<B>That being said, I think it's sad that her mother, knowing all this dirty laundry was there, subjected the girl to the scrutiny of the public eye, especially after months of seclusion from school and society.

She is choosing to give life, the essence of humanity, the continuation of humans on this planet, and to liberals, that is "dirty laundry" and "shame." Only to liberals would an aborted fetus be something held in such high regard, while a living, breathing human being be considered "dirty laundry" and "shame." Chances are, somewhere in your ancient historical past, some relative had a baby out-of-wedlock and/or at a young age. Would you consider that "shame" and "dirty laundry?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-6815447449865811182008-09-02T10:06:00.000-05:002008-09-02T10:06:00.000-05:00Many people, especially on the Left as those you d...Many people, especially on the Left as those you describe, are just plain evil. They are no better than Nazis.<BR/><BR/>They need to be called out, hauled out, and exposed to the sunlight. Including The One.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, this will backfire on them.<BR/><BR/>This really reminds me of 1988 during the Quayle rollout. Right before the convention, Quayle stumbled badly, Dukakis was riding WAY high in the polls. <BR/><BR/>The Quayle controversy spiked public interest in the convention. GHWB answered the bell and gave the speech of his life, and came out ahead.<BR/><BR/>Here, all this Palin "news" is serving to drive up rabid interest in her speech, and the shortened GOP Convention as well.<BR/><BR/>The thing is, she is no Dan Quayle (vbg). She is MUUUUCH more polished and tough on the stump. And Obama is ahead by single digits (5-8 points), not the 17 or so Dukakis was. And John McCain can deliver a great acceptance speech. One only need to look to four years ago when he gave a GREAT speech laying out the case (in retrospect) for moving to take out Saddam.<BR/><BR/>Palin's speech tomorrow night will be great, and will be viewed by a lot more people than would have had all this "news" not come out. She is very likeable and can relate to millions of average Americans.<BR/><BR/>And you can bet that John McCain will deliver when it counts. <BR/><BR/>And Obama's single digit lead will vanish along with the dying winds of Gustav.Covenant60https://www.blogger.com/profile/00778037319510838719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-26538847087899875432008-09-02T10:04:00.000-05:002008-09-02T10:04:00.000-05:00Pretty good article, along with some rebuttal to a...Pretty good article, along with some rebuttal to all of these "Palin believes abstinence only" claims I have seen flying around:<BR/><BR/>http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1837862-1,00.htmlCrizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218669425864287860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-59510090162761792362008-09-02T09:20:00.000-05:002008-09-02T09:20:00.000-05:00Gary, if a major plank of your Party platform is F...Gary, if a major plank of your Party platform is Family Values and you lord it over others as if you're better, then watch for the stones.
