Please let's all just drop this Babygate crap. As Gertrude Stein put it: there's no there there.
We all know what Obama meant and there's no reason to organize the Republicans' talking points for them. Make them work for it. I don't believe there's a Clinton or Obama supporter on here who doesn't agree with what he said in theory.

Babygate has no more value than Facialexpressiongate. Can we all move on from the petty tabloid bullshit?

2. Let's take on a social wrong
It IS punishment when our kids suffer consequences like pregnancy and STD's because we didn't educate them.

9. Yes, and it makes me like him more.
A lot of pro-life types think having a baby is a sort of punishment for people, especially young people, who have sex. I'm glad to hear someone put it out there like that. (I realize Oabama is pro-choice.)

5. Is this actually getting traction outside the retardoblogosphere?
I can't say I bother with the TV idiots, so I don't know if this is their current fetish-obviating-need-to-report-actual-news or not.

6. "current fetish - obviating - need - to-report - actual - news "
Yes. Good description of it. There is no news anymore. Only editorializing. I hope it's not getting any traction anywhere and I'm not an Obama fan. It's just low.
