The Palin Thread Continues

Another thought regarding Governor Palin: Her daughter, Bristol, is pregnant and unmarried at the age of 17. Whether Bristol marries the father of their baby or not is simply not material for public consumption. I predict that, to the chagrin of the main vein media, Bristol’s pregnancy will not harm the McCain-Palin poll numbers. As the networks invade the private lives of the Palin family, it will become obvious to all but the liberal maniacs that the family is close knit; this will merely bring them even closer. Besides, this is a family matter and plainly none of our business, in the first place. Bristol Palin’s pregnancy is irrelevant to Governor Palin’s suitability to be vice president, and we, and the media, should leave it at that.

John McCain has been roundly criticized for choosing Governor Sarah Palin, because of her staunchly pro-life stance. Future president McCain has the right to choose whomever he wants to join him on the ticket, as long as they pass constitutional muster. For the uninformed, that basically means that the vice presidential candidate has to meet all the qualifications of the presidential candidate, including being an American born in America or specific U.S. territories. John McCain made an excellent choice with Governor Palin. It is obvious that he respects her, and as a self-styled maverick, he chose someone who has the chutzpa to stand up to corruption, not only from the other side of the aisle, but among the Republican Party as well. Governor Palin has stood up to Republican corruption and won. Duh. When that happens, we all come out ahead.
