Ripping your unwed daughter’s babydaddy is statesmanlike.

And saying nothing would have been, right?

If she had said nothing, you trolls would have claimed…

She’s hiding from the press because she’s embarrassed of her daughters situation.

She’s an unfit mother because she didn’t stand up to this as@.

Until the trolls get consistent in their condemnations, they should hold comment.

That didn’t last long did it? Your newfound open-mindedness was encouraging while it lasted.

You cut and pasted a link after a day of searching around and that was the best you could do. You formed your expert opinion on the expert opinion of the DOD and a DefenseLink presser? Guess what. Those actions were executed under the Bush administration. SecDef Rumsfeld adapted to the changing situation in Iraq and would have migrated in the same direction as Gates.

Did you consider the ground commander’s use of fix-wing and attack helicopter interdiction of IED set-up teams? How much of an effect did that have on MSR use and safety?

What differences in the non-kinetic tactics did you find most improved?

Did you consider the increased emphasis in the Merchant Triangle on SAM weapons cache searches? (Or the buy-back programs)

ROTFL ROTFL HA HA HA HA (Sorry just a couple more ROTFL ROTFL HA HA HA HA) I know you like those.

Just kidding. I know you really haven’t a clue and I don’t want you to burn up any brain cells over this. Just run along and make believe you proved your point.

Maybe Australia is more progressive and egalitarian than the US. Who knows?

You simply don’t know what you’re talking about. All you know is the war turned around with Gen Petraeus. You couldn’t tell me a dimes bit of difference in his or his predecessors strategies without googling some BS.

Bush Outlines New Strategy for Course Ahead in Iraq (U.S. Department of Defense, January 10, 2007)

“Here are the differences,” the president said. “In earlier operations, Iraqi and American forces cleared many neighborhoods of terrorists and insurgents, but when our forces moved on to other targets, the killers returned. This time, we will have the force levels we need to hold the areas that have been cleared.”

Now call me an armchair general but I would say this was obvious to everyone but Donald Dumsfeld and why I said we could have saved billions and hired a kid who played strategy video games for pennies to tell apparently the U.S. Defense Secretary the obvious.

Too bad procreation isn’t dependent upon maturity and responsibility.

They should play the interview over and over

It will help Plain with women voters

This is one long thread. It shows the interview hit a nerve

Trivial attacks that catch the public fancy tend to benefit the attackee

You seriously need to grow up. Your behavior has gotten you banned, and it should again. Look at all these sickening apologies lately. SnarkVader pulled the same thing, wrote a horrible private email to joey24007, then whined she wasn’t warned first before Ed banned her and apologized. Your fake contrition means nothing, cause you’re a sociopath like all your heroes, Roger Waters and Barack Obama. BS you’re a con. You attack strangers online admittedly for sophomoric kicks, not thinking about who you might offend. Drop dead. Seriously, get some help. Get out of the 70s, too. It was over 20 years ago. Bleh.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What horrible email did i write to joey?

I can only imagine the sympathetic faces and supportive looks they would have if this were a Democrat politician with the exact same situation…

Surely, if Obama had an teenage daughter who was pregnant and unmarried, conservatives would rally to her defense.

I’m sure I could come up with a similar fairy tale about your alleged daughters, but I’ll refrain from trashing them just because you’re a jerk.

Who knows, they may turn out okay despite you.

Bristol: Hey mom, Levi is going to spend the night in my bedroom, we are going to do homework.

Sarah: OK, dear, thats nice. Hmmmmm, where is my speech for tomorrow’s meeting for the Club of Religious Right phonies…where is it?

Bristol’s sister: Hey mom, I never saw Bristol do homework before. Isnt she getting all D’s and F’s? That is wierd.

Sarah: mmmhmmm. OK, honey. Hey hon, tell your dad when he gets home next week from snowmobiling that I think I lost a few of our kids somewhere, I think. Well, gotta go.

Bristol and Bristol’s sister: OK, bye mom

Sarah: Bye, um whatever your names are…I forgot. Oh I am late for my interview regarding abstinence education. I have to run…Bye Bye hon *winks*

While it’s true that there are many single parents, which helps this story resonate, you’re wrong that this isn’t about Palin.

To some, it appears to be a very attractive “hypocrisy!!!” club to beat her over the head with.

cs89 on April 6, 2009 at 3:57 PM

Her comments are like tone poems. Make of them what you will, but she eschews meaning. Nothing means anything apparently.

It’s not about Sarah at all.

It’s about the reality. Everyone has been dealing with this alone in their own families, as though it’s unique.

It isn’t.

Translation: I never have posted anything positive about Sarah Palin, I have been caught in a lie. Therefore I must insult.

40% of children are now born out of marriage.

That says zip about much other than…..we have loads of kids in single parent homes, and they are all doing exactly what this young couple are doing….trying to work it out.

That is why people are interesting.

Just a reminder that the poster of the above quote is reputed to be married with teenaged daughters.

Terrifying, isn’t it? After witnessing the ineptitude of CPS, the post office and the public school system, I marvel there are idiots who think government can accomplish anything at all.

HA HA HA HA!!!!

Your prompt answers need refreshing.

SnarkVader is a chick? Is she hot?
