First off I'd like to say that I have a LOT more research to do on the upcoming election before I decide which is the lesser of the two evils to vote for. But I had a lengthy discussion on the topic of the republican choice for VP and the "scandal" as they are calling it. First off I'd like to say, what scandal? These things do happen do they not? Yes, republicans are all about the family, but when your child comes to you with something that hard to deal with you don't shun them or send them into hiding...that's only going to make it harder. No it's not right to involve children in your political campaign; I will be the first to agree to that. But when she found out she was pregnant, when she decided to keep the baby and marry the father she is no longer a child...those are some very responsible ADULT decisions she is making. And how do we know if she did or did not want to be front page on all the best selling newspapers. Maybe as an adult she decided instead of hiding she would just face the press and not have this very private situation even more of a topic of gossip later when, let's say, Palin becomes a grandmother. Yes, I know, that I'm probably missing a lot of what's going on with anything in the political world, but before we go accusing people of the horrible sins they have can we take a step back and see if we really can cast that first stone. We're not perfect but we have the good fortune of not having our lives displayed before the whole world. These are politicians and they know that the press is always looking for a story but can we sit back for a second and realize that these are people too.
I don't know maybe I just felt a little sorry for Bristol. I'm glad she's taking responsibility for what happened and I'm glad she was brave enough to face the press. At least she's not terminating the pregnancy, that I would be mad about.
Read up on it, you can tell me what you think if you really want. I don't care.
