Well, That Didn't Take Long.....

Three Days Later, The Dirt Is Getting Out....

Give the sludgemongers credit - they can certainly find their shit. Just three days after John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his Vice-Presidential nominee, word is out that Palin's 17-year old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant.

Now, i'm not some big prude. Yes, 17-year old kids have sex - a lot. Palin, who is Pro-Life, has said that she will marry the baby daddy and have the baby. That's all and well, but I have a few questions that seriously make me wonder what the hell is going on in my party...

First off, the girl's pregnancy is not the important issue here. I feel sorry for the girl, becuase while most kids don't think of the consequences, this poor kid had no idea that this would happen.. What I have problems with are these.

1. When did Palin know her daughter was pregnant?

2. Did Palin tell John McCain, or withhold this info?

3. Did John McCain know, and still pick Palin?

I have this nightmare scenario playing in my head.. "Bristol, sweetie, I know this will be very, very humiliating to you, but Mommy has a chance to be Vice-President, so let's just sweep this under the rug, OK?". I know she's busy doing the whole "Bringing home the bacon and frying it up in a Pan" routine, but having your oldest daughter get pregnant, and not taking yourself out of the VP running tells me two things. You're not putting your party first, and you have no control over your own family.

Politically, one of two things happened, and neither are good. Either Palin withheld the info, or McCain knew, and somehow didn't see this as a major, major problem. So, which would you rather have - a VP who lied, or a President who either had no vetting process, or couldn't see the ramifications of this? Guess this will now make Palin a soon-to-be G-MILF.......

Right now, I feel like slamming my head on the table for about an hour or two. For almost the entire time that I've been in politics, i've had to defend a party that spends it ass off, and preaches "Family Values", while living the lives that a pack of alleycats wouldn't accept. Maybe the RNC doesn't see this as a HUGE, HUGE problem, but I'm not as blinded by advancing my career in the party not to see this. The Democrats are laughing at us again, because we may have just given them the Presidency.....
