11. McCain and Palin each threw one of their children under the bus...
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 06:07 PM by timeforarevolution
for personal gain and power.

McCain threw his adopted daughter from Bangladesh under the bus by hiding her and indeed pandering to the same racist wingnuts who DIDN'T vote for him in 2000 because of her.


Palin put Bristol in the national spotlight with no notice, as she was in the midst of a personal crisis. She was shellshocked, holding her little brother to hide her own pregnancy. Doing what they do best, the repukes spun her out-of-wedlock pregnancy into a hypocritical "blessed event."

I make no judgment about Bristol nor their parenting skills, or lack thereof, regarding the pregnancy.

Would the right-wingers have withheld judgment and ridicule had the same happened to a 17-year-old Chelsea Clinton? Ha!!!!

I do judge both McCains for sucking up to the same people who ATTACKED their daughter. Unforgivable.

I do judge the Palins for having no consideration for their children, at least one of whom was going through a significant personal crisis, in her rushed acceptance of the running mate position. Despicable.

FAMILY VALUES MY ASS.
