Really? I don't think it has anything to to with Conservative or Liberal.
Certainly not in my world.
All circumstances are different and family dynamics are all unique. If you're suggesting that I only take this stance because she's a conservative, you're off base.
I have teenage daughters. I know that no matter how I parent, there's a risk of them doing something that will change their lives forever in an "unplanned" way.
I'd have to re-visit the Murphy Brown/Dan Quayle thing to remember exactly what happened there, but perhaps there's a distinction between dealing with circumstances in a loving way, and holding them up as a standard as the preferable way.
Issues like teen pregnancy etc can come up in all families. My comment came after listening to interview after interview from the floor of the convention and other political news with people who were most likely very judgemental about the same issues when they were talking about the dems. When it's another conservative, like the new pit bull, then all of the sudden their tone does a 180. There's a lot of hypocracy in politics, on both sides.
for the "clarification." ;-)
Unfortunately, yeah, too much partisan bull sh*& and hypocracy on both sides.
In my time I have seen:
Good kids with good parents.
Bad kids with bad parents.
Bad kids with good parents.
Good kids with bad parents.
It's not easy and I refuse to take glee in the challenges of other parents and I don't think it is a reason to vote against her. There are so many reasons to oppose her that have to do with actions, issues and policy.
