Sarah Palin Interview

[Professor S]

Did you guys really re-open this thread to slam Palin's pregnant daughter? Really?

[TheGame]

Nope. Slamming Palin herself.

How did I slam her daughter? Her daughter makes her own decisions and are accountable for them herself. I only brought up the whole idea that it might have been a fake pregnancy, which was news to me. IF this is true, then that's a lot worse for Palin. Her daughter doesn't deserve a slap on the wrist for that, only she herself would.

And I was just slamming Palin herself for not being able to instill enough values into her daughter to at least have safe sex.

I have nothing against slutty girls.

[Professor S]

Both of your arguments are pretty pathetic, quite honestly. And the whole "fake pregnancy" thing was widely debunked and considered tabloid nonsense. I'm done even responing to this type of garbage anymore.

If you want to discuss Palin's pick honestly, keep to actual issues. You don't see me continually harping on Reverend Wright, Tony Rezco or William Ayers, do you? Bringing up such muck is beneath you, Game.

It was debunked?

There's problems you create, and problems that create you. I'm not above talking about either or, because it helps build someone's character. As I expressed earlier, I do respect Palin and what she's done before. I have cousins who were pregnent at that age, and good friends from HS.

The only place this thread could really go now is to the interview Palin just had. While I did express before, some of the questions were a strech to ask of her, I do think the interview went horrible. I think she has just lowered herself to being a complete joke with doing that bad, and I think Mccain should probably consider changing his decision before it gets too late. The VP debate will likely see Palin being KOed many times.

Here is Palin's biggest issue:

"In 1982, Palin enrolled at Hawaii Pacific College but left after her first semester. From there she transferred to North Idaho College, where she spent two semesters as a general studies major. From there, she then transferred to the University of Idaho for two semesters. She then left the University of Idaho and attended Matanuska-Susitna College in Alaska for one term. The next year she returned to the University of Idaho where she spent three semesters completing her Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism, graduating in 1987."

Really? My issue is her complete lack of any foreign relations experience in this hightened time of international tensions.

"Safe sex is in the palm of your hand."


Because, even the pill is only 99% effective.

Abstinence is the only 100% effective form of birth control.

Ok, I'm going to stay out of most of the argument because I have better things to do than get drawn into a lengthy debate. However, I can't let this one slide.

Barack Obama is one of the top recipients of donations from Fannie and Freddie because lots of lower level employees who happen to work for Fannie and Freddie have donated to his campaign. Every donor is required to state their employer so that the campaigns can be sure that they are allowed to accept the donation. If you actually take a look at the numbers, you will see that out of the $126,000 Obama has received from Fannie and Freddie, only $6,000 comes from PACs and $120,000 comes from individuals (i.e. people who are donating as private citizens and not as Fannie and Freddie lobbyists). It's pretty clear that Obama has simply received lots of $50 and $100 donations from people who happen to state that they work for Fannie and Freddie on their donation forms -- they are otherwise no different from the general public. To imply that the donations of several hundred individual donations from Fannie and Freddie employees to Barack Obama has anything to do with his policy positions is absurd.

I have issues with the main point of your argument, as there is some evidence of shenanigans (albeit legal shenanigans) when it coms to these donations but lets put that aside. $6,000 came from PAC. How much of F&F's money to McCain came from PAC?
