Since when is a pregnant teenager a national issue? She may be the daughter of the Republican nominee for vice president of the United States, but she's the duaghter of the Republican nominee for vice president of the United States. It's not like the preggers one is up for election. Just her mother.
But everytime I turn on the radio, someone's gasping over a girl's mistake, like it has some bearing on the next eight years of anyone's life but her own. And she's beating herself up for it already. It is ABSOLUTELY necessary for the global media to join in on the fun.
People may think I'm ornery for not wanting to hear about some Alaskan seventeen year old's oops with birth control. But I just don't see how that tidbit of controversy is pertinent to who shall be the next President of our nation. God forbid that the media should expend their time & effort analyzing the candidate's POLICIES. (That would be frightfully dull.)
"If her mother didn't want her in the media spotlight, she shouldn't have taken a position that she knew would expose all the UGLIES." OHMYGOD!!!!! Someone who would govern our country isn't PERFECT???? *faints* Honestly, you'd think people would have gotten that message after George Bush took office. But, somehow, it's still a lump of shit underneath the Christmas tree.
As much as I am loathe to agree with Obama (Though I do it quite often), he's right. The girl having known a man in the Biblical sense is a family matter (or at least none of OUR business), of inconsequential bearing upon our government, except for insomuch as the Republican candidate for VP can now be called "Grandma".
So... What are McCain's straight plans for health care, and how effective might they be? (Don't rightly know, since an unwanted pregnancy is all the media seems to see.)
