Interview Palin

[vbnautilus 48]

Oh yeah? I'd like to make you a sizable bet that if you polled Americans on the following questions they'd disagree with Palin:1) Are you for or against birth control?2) Are you for or against sex education in school?3) Do you believe that teaching abstinence is an effective form of birth control? I'd do more, but in terms of being out of touch, her positions on these three issues are simply not in line with most Americans.

Unfortunately it's not so clear. http://www.pollingreport.com/abortion.htmAssociate Press/Ipsos Poll#1:"Which would you prefer for the public schools in your community? Provide birth control only to those students who have the consent of their parents. Provide birth control to all students who want it. Not provide birth control to any student."Provide if have consent: 37%Provide to all: 30%Do not provide: 30%#2 & #3:"What do you think is the better way to reduce the number of pregnancies among teenagers: by emphasizing sex education and birth control, or by emphasizing morality and abstinence?"Sex Ed & Birth Control: 51%Morality and Abstinence: 46%

This is completely dishonest. These are the questions you should be asking....1) Should an individual family be able to choose for themselves whether or not they use birth control? (Palin has said over and over and over that she wouldn't impose her views on anyone. She even vetoed a bill to ban gay marriage)2) Do you think it's the public schools duty to teach sex education to Kindergartners? Follow up question... Should the US government raise your kids or would you like to keep them?3) Do you believe that abstinence should be mentioned as a possible solution to birth control and STD's in a sex ed class?I would take your sizable bet.

As long as it's not taught to Kindergartners like Obama has suggested.

Don't let your head get spun by the GOP ads, you telling me you don't want kindergarten kids to learn how to protect themselves from sexual predators? Where is the evidence that Obama was for the idea of teaching those kids how to do it doggy style? The bill is there to help PROTECT and educate those kids...

I can appreciate that. But that's why these kids have PARENTS!

the other responses cover it very well, I just wanted to point out that you dont even know her position on birth control.

let me know if he dances. That might make it worth tuning in on the west coast

Oh... he's dancing alright.

So why bother teaching kids anything?Edit: I'm sure you don't get upset about the DARE program being taught in 5th grade (in my school, we had to waste a week on that bs). If people were honest, I don't see how in the world everyone would get upset about kindergartners (sp?) getting a lesson in how to look out for sexual predators. Personally, I don't care one way or the other. But somebody has to call bullshit on that politically motivated point of view.

Daniel, there is absolutely no point trying to reason with these people(my thread is evidence for this), they have made up their minds a long time ago.No amount of sense will penetrate through their granite thick skulls.George Bush is their hero, there are no problems with the health service,the ecomomy is great etc etc. And Palin is a great candidate because she's a "milf", thats what matters to these people, f*ck the politics,never mind her extremely questionable(insane) beliefs(f*ck me: teaching creationism in schools,no sexual education, forcing her daughter to have a baby and marry the redneck father etc etc) they don't care. Why are Americans remotely surprised when they are perceived as idiots.

You've officially lost it, Daniel. Braveheart covered the answers but you really have. So far today I have seen a post where you claim Barack has done many actual interviews (he has done one where he wasn't coddled), one post where you claim Palin must be grilled because no one really knows her positions, yet you have already made your choice with no real knowledge apparently. It was quite obvious you had lost touch months ago and been reduced to fanboy status but this just takes it farther, now you are reduced to party line spouting fan robot. You're better than that. One thing, and this may help you- look at a map of the U.S. Now look at the places where you really won't be spending any time, bible belt, middle america, whatever you want to call it, and realize this- these people are right in her wheelhouse, and they are also by and large the poor you think you speak for, but while it's fun to watch you on GSN and stuff your kind doesn't resonate,just like Obamas doesn't. Palin does,and thank God for that. Thank God that there still is some semblance of sense left in the U.S.- honestly, you can live your life as you please but as a self proclaimed christian you should be looking the other way as soon as you realized your man has voted for partial birth abortions multiple times. No god fearing true christian should ever let himself get so blinded as to align himself with such evil.

No god fearing true christian should ever be pro choice.

Touching !!! I have one question for all newcomers to the political scene. Ask anybody who has lived through it, what was it like to have Jimmy Carter as President. After you get the answer, cement that in your brain because that is what you get if Obama wins ... and that is why so many are fighting so hard to keep his ass out.

As much as he won't be addressing me he certainly won't be addressing this drivel.

[Wiz Adult 0]

They try to simplify it as much as possible by calling it, "Pro-CHOICE"( as in being able to choose ,as in having the option) yet some people amazingly still have comprehension issues.

thanks, I'll have nightmares the next 3 nights now. DNs political maturity appears to have been interrupted around Carters time.

that's why these kids have PARENTS!

Serious question are you against anti drug lessons being taught in schools as well? In a lot of ways I think teaching things like sex ed, and drug awareness are as important as some of the "core" courses that are children are taught.

which is precisely why our schools suckit isnt a coincidence that the quality of education deteriorated after the 60s, when the hippies took over the teaching jobs.

So far the American public hasn't had any opportunity whatsoever to hear this woman speak in a setting where she wasn't prepared with pre-written speeches. I want to see how she handle's some good old fashion grilling, that is, if the GOP ever allows it. The fact that they haven't yet and don't seem interested in doing so should scare you a bit. If it scares them... it should scare you. They call Biden a gaff machine, but me thinks that this woman will stick her foot in her mouth big time if they ever release the reigns and allow the media a chance to ask her some tougher questions. Even the debate will be totally rehearsed. I want to see her do SOMETHING, anything that isn't scripted. Maybe then we'll figure out how she feels about birth control, wildlife, the bridge to nowhere, the environment, Iraq, etc. Not too long ago when asked about Iraq he said, "I haven't thought much about it." Hmm... that's comforting!

She only has a son leaving for Iraq in a couple of days, yeah I'm sure this quote was taken out of context at all.

LOL... wow. I shouldn't even bother responding to this crap, but sex ed (which I'm an expert at, because I have a kid in the first place) is just a touch different than "anything else".

No god fearing true christian should ever be pro choice.

yes.

against? no. But it's just a waste of time, because I'm a good parent. It is completely meaningless compared to 'core' classes.

You were fine until this point.I'm an old-fashioned product of the Bible Belt with parents who grew up in the 50s. Palin does NOT represent me.Also, you have to understand that area you speak of does not hold an iron clad grip on what things are like in this country. You're used to what you're used to and DN is used to what he's used to. Neither of you are more or less "connected".

ugh, I'm getting disgusted with this... you guys are so enamored in your attacks against BHO that you will say anything no matter how intellectually dishonest it is.He did NOT support ANYTHING like what you are blaming him with. You're full of so much crap when you continue to go on and on in acting like he wants to seriously teach SEX ED to little kids. The bill itself spoke of age appropriateness! And my "Why bother teachings kids anything?" comment was a rhetorical question to your ridiculous statement of "That's what we have parents for!!!"Go ahead brv, keep trying to make it stick. Keep trying to make Obama look like this sex-crazed pervert who wants teach little children about safe sex. If you can get America to think that Obama is someone he isn't, then you might actually get people to vote against him.Because you sure couldn't win this election if you were talking about how good of a president John McCain would be.
