Remember when John McCain offered his wife up for that beauty contest in South Dakota? (The one that was described as usually turning into a topless event.) Well, now he picks Sarah Palin, a runner up in Miss Alaska. This guy has an attitude toward women that we don't need in the White House. Throw in the fact of his first failed marriage and all the stuff about dumping his "disfigured" wife, and now this teenage pregnancy stuff. Look at that compared to what we've seen in the Obama and Biden families. After we've had "family values" thrown in our face by Republicans for so long, it's time to take that issue back as ours (along with the flag and patriotism).
Of course, what worries me is that these shouldn't be huge issues. On the one hand it's only fair to throw them back at Republicans, but on the other, these aren't really big Presidential issues, are they? I would hope we've moved beyond all this, but unfortunately not. In one sense, the Palin pick brings abortion back to the forefront. Must we keep fighting this battle? I guess so. This woman even believes global warming is not man made. It is unfortunate that we must fight battles that should have been settled by now.
I am so thankful that we have such intelligent and capable men as Barack Obama and Joe Biden to make the case to the American people.
