What if Chelsea had gotten knocked up?
Would we not have heard a peep from the reich wing?

Bill might be a womanizer and Hillary a terrible shrill who is motivated by nothing but power and greed (not my thoughts but an argument against them from 1996 to present) but at least they raised a proper daughter....that's family values

I say we attack her family vaules but not her family. We attack her hypocrisy but not her daughter (or kids with funny names).

1. It would have been proof that libruls are immoral creatures.
And the evangelicals would have been up in arms.

2. I don't think "we" would have known.. I don't think that she would have
had a baby as a teen.. AND she was under the guidance of secret service.. how much can you actually get away with?

6. Wasn't it the Secret Service which took Jenna Bush late at night down
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 09:48 AM by Benhurst
to a bar known to serve minors and stood outside while she broke the law?

5. We would have heard the RR conservatives scream like stuck pigs
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 09:47 AM by JaneQPublic
"Dysfunctional family!"

"Liberal permissiveness!

"Absence of family values!"

"The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree!"

"Democrats causing the destruction of the American moral fiber!"

Am I forgetting anything?

7. We aren't "them"
and it's none of our business what Chelsea does or Bristol or anyone. Families are off limits
to us, we're better than they are or we used to be.

9. Which part of "back off" don't you understand?
Not only are children "off limits" but switching the discourse from reason and issues to raw emotion is the best way to have the losers a chance to win!

10. Remember the Republics chanting outside the White House January 2001.

"At last the hillbillies are gone. At last the hillbillies are gone."

If we say something it's because we are elitists who hate the common man. If they say it, it's okay for common folk like themselves to criticize other common folk. Sort of like rap singers and the n-word.

12. obviously a lot of people think this baby story is more important than trooper gate and other issues
and if so we are playing into the GOP's hands because the teen pregnancy is a dead issue other issues are more important and we aren't giving hardly as much time too.
