I was just making the statement that I couldn't imagine putting my daughter out there like that. Palin might have all the best intentions in the world and even the support of her daughter, but I've seen this girl's private life become a political issue (on both sides) overnight. <BR/><BR/>We're all pretty unfamiliar with Palin (as is McCain because they'd only met once before he asked her to be VP). Like I said, time will tell. I think Palin will either win tons of people over or she'll break under this new pressure. I just hope that her family doesn't get beat up too bad in the process. For now, I'll switch back to watching the RNC.Peter Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652255322821128991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007227068461508333.post-48115736001010772922008-09-02T18:15:00.000-07:002008-09-02T18:15:00.000-07:00Pete, with all do respect, I have to challenge you...Pete, with all do respect, I have to challenge you in this post. I have several reasons but i will keep it brief. For one, I don't think that it's right to judge sarah palin for her choice to decide to run for VP knowing that her daughter's private life would be made public. For one thing we could say the same thing about any other politiitan with children including Barack Obama who has children as well. And I think that if Sarah Palin's daughter did not want her mother running for VP for fear of her private life getting out in public than she probably wouldn't have come and sat in the front row behind her mom when John McCain announced her as VP. Apparently her daughter feels loved and supported enough that she put herself in the public eye. Another piece of info about Sarah Palin is that she actually went overseas last year to visit with the Alaskan National Guard ( as Governor she serves as commander of this military group). This means she has only been to the Mideast once that i know of but only one less time than Barack Obama who is running for president, commander in chief. I am a lot more concerned about his lack of foreign policy experience than I am Sarah Palin. ( and btw, being govenor of alaska which borders two other countries, Canada and Russia also gives her more foreign policy experience than a senator and than most governers) Just food for thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007227068461508333.post-57369727471511038842008-08-16T22:10:00.000-07:002008-08-16T22:10:00.000-07:00hahahahaha! wow that is hilarious...myspace photo ...hahahahaha! wow that is hilarious...myspace photo shoot...there might be some good photography buisness there for pre-teens :-)Charlotte Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05581673810343387240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007227068461508333.post-5260091028912886872008-08-15T12:45:00.000-07:002008-08-15T12:45:00.000-07:00That's so exciting, Pete!Do you still need a photo...That's so exciting, Pete!<BR/><BR/>Do you still need a photo editor?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007227068461508333.post-22353630834238294092008-07-29T15:09:00.000-07:002008-07-29T15:09:00.000-07:00Pete, I felt like I was on a roller coaster (we we...Pete, I felt like I was on a roller coaster (we were in the car).

I couldn't find the World magazine article, but here are the statistics for another source: http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/<BR/>policy/abortion/graphusabrate.html<BR/><BR/>As far as Bush's actions on abortion, he has supported a ban on partial-birth abortion, has appointed strict constructionist judges to the supreme court, and has maintained laws to withhold government funding for abortions.<BR/><BR/>http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/<BR/>releases/2003/11/20031105-1.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.reproductiverights.org/<BR/>pub_fac_ggrbush.html<BR/>(this second article talks about Bush's actions on abortion funding from a very pro-abortion standpoint, which I don't agree with - but it does say that Bush has acted in an anti-abortion way in this instance)<BR/><BR/>With regard to having a pro-life stance in all matters, I would argue that the most criminal taking of a life is the taking of a completely innocent, helpless life. In addition, the number of deaths due to abortion in the US is about 1.2 million per year, or 3000 per day as you said. The number of abortions worldwide per day is 126,000 (46 million per year). http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/<BR/>AbortionStatistics.htm<BR/><BR/>A total of 21 million people have died worldwide from AIDS and there are an additional 36 million people living with the disease. http://www.whitehouse.gov/onap/facts.html<BR/><BR/>Not only is AIDS a less significant issue numerically, but the deaths are less tragic in my mind because the lives can be extended for about 10 years with medication and because the spread of the disease can be stopped with abstinence and fidelity. <BR/><BR/>Similarly, the mother who is pregnant at 18 with no health care and a low-paying job has already made her choice to have sex. 95% of abortions are for birth control purposes, not because of rape or incest or health reasons. There are thousands of Americans who want to have babies and would be willing to adopt these children. Let's face the facts - these babies are being killed because it is inconvenient for the mother emotionally and/or physically to bear the child and endure labor.<BR/><BR/>Also, with regard to your supposition that Republicans are leaving the care of the poor and sick to "bleeding heart liberals", statistics actually show that conservatives give more to charitable organizations than liberals do. http://newsbusters.org/node/9323<BR/><BR/>In my mind, the difference between liberal and conservative thought regarding the poor is that liberals think it is the government's job to even out everyone's income. Conservatives think that such a "leveling of the playing field" will encourage laziness (as seen in failed socialist and communist countries) and that it will discourage competition, which drives us to better products and services. If the pay were the same to work at McDonald's or be an architect, who would spend the time and effort to educate themselves to do the architect's job? <BR/><BR/>Republicans give more personal money to charitable organizations because they feel it is the individual's responsibility to help the poor, not the government. The government is too beaurocratic and lacks the individual attention and love that can help the poor individual to better themselves and their situation.<BR/><BR/>On top of this, I would submit that the state of our poor in the US is fine living compared to the state of the poor in Africa. <BR/><BR/>I agree that there is no perfect candidate, and I agree that respect for life is a core issue that the perfect candidate would espouse with his whole mind, body, soul, and character.<BR/><BR/>As I said earlier, I feel the attitude towards abortion is the most key indicator of this value, since it is the naked destruction of innocent life and because it kills the highest number of people per annum worldwide. I cannot with good conscience support any candidate who seeks to increase government protection or support for abortion and infanticide (partial-birth abortion).<BR/><BR/>A few additional facts that I have learned about Obama are that he has a rating of 0 out of 100 from the National Right to Life Coalition and that he is rated the most liberal senator in the US Senate by National Journal magazine. This illustrates to me that he is not in any way a moderate candidate.Redheadedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573348785147906919noreply@blogger.com
