STATEMENT FROM SARAH AND TODD PALIN

For Immediate Release

Contact: Press Office

Monday, September 1, 2008

ARLINGTON, VA -- Today, Sarah and Todd Palin issued the following statement regarding today's Reuters story:

"We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.

"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."

oops HS... did it again

McCain, Obama agree: Don't use Palin's pregnant daughter as political fodder

Maybe Obama should visit PB

justsaynotohypocrites — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:52:56 EDT

Obamas words:

"There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us. I'm hope I'm as clear as I can be. In case I'm not, let me repeat: We don't go after people's families. We don't get them involved in politics. It's not appropriate and it's not relevant. Our people were not involved in any way in this and they will not be. If I ever thought that it was somebody in my campaign who's involved in something like that, they'd be fired."

One more comment in Barack Obamas own words

justsaynotohypocrites — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:34:03 EDT

"I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people's families are off limits," Obama declared after attending a Labor Day picnic here. "People's children are especially off limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories."

He continued, "You know, my mother had me when she was 18. How family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn't be the topic of our politics. I hope that anybody who's supported me understands that's off limits."

I am banning myself - what a bunch of idiots - you should all be ashamed.

justsaynotohypocrites — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 13:48:43 EDT

HERE ARE SOME OF THE COMMENTS I HAVE JUST READ BY THE BRILLIANT MINDS ON PB. A NEW LOW. THIS SITE IS NOT WORTH READING ANYMORE. WHAT A GREAT RESULT TO YOUR CENSORSHIP AND BANNING. I HOPE "NEW" DEMOCRATS THAT YOU ALL ARE REQRUITING DO NOT VISIT THIS SITE - IT WOULD MAKE ANYONE CRINGE.

We learned that Sarah Falin has a 4 months baby with down syndrome. Would you hire Sarah Falin as an ER/Internsive care doctor of a large hospital? You would be faced with the choice of releasing her to go take care of her son leaving over 50 critically ill patients with no help.

They are saying they think her 4 month old is the daughter's as well. Palin did not announce her pregnancy to her staff until she was 7 months along. Then the next month she "prematurely" gave birth.

With a mother who wants to give so little attention to a poor sick child, how could we not have expected this. The young girl would be on her own raising herself form early. If Palin is going to drop off babies for the daughter to raise while she chases her dreams, why not have one for herself...?

I am trashing Palin here if anyone because as mother who has had to deal with this issue and a plethora of others, I find it hard to believe she is showing good judgment by accepting this nomination when your teenage daughter is going to need you now more than ever. Moreover, she has a four month with down syndrome.

I am also concerned about Palin's older children and her husband.
No one has mentioned it that I know of, but what hit me really hard was that through-out Palin's acceptance speech, while her family stood by watching, it was the oldest daughter that held the 4 month old THE WHOLE TIME.
I believe that the oldest daughter is the one who most of the responsibility has fallen on for raising the younger children.'
Dad is to much of a man's man and has stated that he isn't going to be the "house mom" (para)

The Palin's are also uneducated and don't know how to use birth control. If they are against condoms, then just using "self control" is not something that they are capable of either.

On the front burner of feminism, has been "taking responsibility" for our bodies and how to stop bringing unwanted, or untimely children into the world that we cannot or don't want to REALLY care for.

This was/is an inconvenient child

A brilliant trap...an interesting article from NYC newspapers

justsaynotohypocrites — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 10:44:18 EDT

Is she a gamble? Definitely. But so is Barack Obama, who has himself dismissed experience as a prerequisite for leadership, despite his spot atop the Democratic ticket.

At this point, Palin is so unknown, there's no way to make a clear judgment about her. But listening to Obama supporters take to the airwaves to shriek with indignation about her lack of experience is just a little too rich. Where were they when Obama, two years into the Senate, announced his candidacy for president?

One Obama supporter and political operative blogged, "In picking an unknown, untested half-a-term governor from Alaska . . . John McCain is following in a long line of reckless men who have rolled the dice for a beauty queen."

Do we really have to do this again?

No sooner was Hillary Rodham Clinton out of the race, and a new woman is in the cross hairs.

A favor for a friend

A past PB blogger who was banned for no good reason would like to share this with the PB blog:

More misogyny on the DNC PB website

http://www.democrats.org/page/community ... adboy/CgYm

I find this blog despicable and insulting to all women. If you're ugly, you get attacked for not being pretty enough. If you're pretty, then you couldn't possibly have a brain. WTF?

And the worst part is / Lincoln Park Dem and Thee Shopman and all the others are participating in it all over again. Before the nomination, it was Hillary bashing. Now it will be bashing McCain's VP -- Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), who, BTW, actually has had to run a government, whereas neither Obama or Biden have. She stook up for the citizens of Alaska against the oil companies and negotiated a $1200/month check for each qualified Alaskan citizen. She also is promoting a natural gas pipeline to the lower 48 states, which could, at least temporarily, supplant our need for foreign oil and convert us from gasoline to natural gas-powered vehicles.

And did I mention, BTW, that GOVERNOR Sarah Palin is the only one on either side with executive experience?

Not exactly the "new kind of politics" that Obama claims to espouse. Once again, he is either a hypocrite and encourages and supports this behavior behind the scenes while acting like he wants to remain above all of this in public. OR, he is a weak leader who cannot influence his followers to take his example. Either way, he is a loser, and so are these guys on PB.

Last Night

Last night I had the honor of watching the last of a dynasty that has shaped our country, our society, our history, our party.

Why can't we separate church and state?

illinoismel — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:26:17 EDT

An earlier post tonight prompted me to write this. Why can't we leave religion out of government? Case in point: Gay marriage.

All of the candidates do not support gay marriage and why? Just answer this one simple question and you will find it is church in the state.

I have a question for many of you

illinoismel — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:27:25 EDT

I do not want a flame war, but I would just like to know what exactly you think the slogan "Change we can believe in" really means, in your own words.

Remember, As Sheriff Buck has said, “Never let your conscience be your guide.”

It has been very evident here on party builder. But wanted to say it anyway.

I always liked that quote.

Just one note for everyone with an imminent announcement coming very soon.

Please do not disparage our potential vice president nominees.

This is a serious business on who is to be chosen.

I would encourage all to be positive on any discord on this issue.

It could come back and bite many democrats.

I have a question

illinoismel — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 22:38:09 EDT

Today I was able to read bits and pieces of a blog written by Blueberry in which people were calling for the return of Shopman. Shop is a friend of mine, but I was just confused. When the moderator banned Jack and everyone asked for him to return, he did so, but under a new email address. Ok, fine. So, is the issue that Shopman can't return at all or is it you want him to be known as Shopman again or Thee Shopman as he is currently registered under? Just a little clarification on my part. Thanks.

I think we can all agree

Someonewhocares — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:44:42 EDT

This is very alarming. Reguardless of who you support or what you want. Anyone who has ever been involved in a civil rights demonstration sometimes you do not have to do anything wrong to be one of those who get hauled in with a group who was acting up. Correct me if I am wrong.... this has never happened before.
Here is the story those who are intrested in others thoughts please follow the link and read the comments below.

What a response

illinoismel — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 01:17:06 EDT

"I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish by repeating this over and over, but whatever your motives they are not of a diplomatic nature.

"They" are not "trying" to do anything, except follow through with what she said she would. "She" is not "taking" anything that is not rightfully hers. Furthermore, above and beyond any personal political aspirations they are committed to the democrats.

So just stop badmouthing Hillary and Bill before you swallow your whole leg.

Obama will win with a lot more dignity and integrity if he behaves confidently and generously.

It is just a roll call get over it."

I think people better try other talking points besides Senator Clinton with less than 12 weeks before a General Election.

Spray-On Condoms: Still a Hard Sell Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2008 By CALLIE LEFEVRE Spray-on condoms Tyne News / WENN Edison had his lightbulb, Ford had his Model T, and Jan Vinzenz Krause has his spray-on condom. Inspired by the mechanics of a drive-through car wash, the German sexual-health educator designed a custom-fitting male contraceptive using liquid latex and some materials from a hardware store.
