So I have said that I think Sarah Palin is a good thing for the McCain campaign. However, that doesn't mean I necessarily agree with the Republican's platform. This article shows conservative hypocrisy at its best.
"Palin on Monday revealed that her daughter Bristol is pregnant and will
marry the baby's father, adding that she and her husband are "proud of
Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become
grandparents."
The word decision usually means choice. Does that mean that her daughter had a choice? Did she choose to keep this baby? If so, then why shouldn't other women have the right to choose otherwise?
And on sex ed:
"In that same questionnaire, she was asked if she supported funding
for abstinence-until-marriage education instead of "explicit
sex-education programs."

"The explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support," she said."
Uh huh, and how well did the abstinence approach work for her daughter? Or will she blame this on the fact that the schools taught an "explicit sex-ed program"? Her daughter is a teen pregnancy statistic and people really need to consider Palin's record as a parent. I know this stuff is pretty off-limits to the democrats but I hope lots of people are reading it and considering the ramifications.
