McCain has made a great choice for V.P. and now the News Media are enraged. Good. All they can find to attack is Palin's daughter on something they overlook in other situations. Their mental meltdowns and faux morality are laughable. If Obama's daughters were older and one of them was a pregnant teen, the subject would be outlawed for discussion, the situation too private a matter for public discussion.
The glaring shortcomings and failures of Liberal Democrats are always treated in this fashion. Bill Clinton cheating on his wife was a private affair and should not even have been discussed. He lied under oath, according to him, to keep from hurting Hillary and Chelsea. Clinton should have thought about the consequences before he did everything ahead of time, and with the right part of his anatomy. His gross misconduct was ignored and even justified by the News Media. They still were not able to contain it, even Ben and Jerry's came out with a new ice cream flavor in honor of Clinton called Chubby Cheatin Hubby. If it was a private matter for Bill; it's a private matter for Gov. Palin. What the News Media is really mad about is the other baby, her second son born with Down's was not aborted. Palin has kept her son in accordance with her beliefs. Both children are being accepted into the family, and still the media looks on in shock.
The News Media is also trying to attack Palin on lack of experience. Experience? She has two years' worth of experience as govenor of Alaska and is the only govenor on either tickets. If she had been in the same job in Arkansas, she would be finishing or near to finishing her first term, since the office only has a two year term, rather than a four year term as is the rule in most states. Because the News media have only this fine point of semantics to argue, they are obviously desperate for points of contention.
Another thing the News Media are mad about is the fact Palin is a NRA member and likes to hunt, fish and supposedly has a bear skin rug in her office. What a great future photo shoot for her new son and her grandchild. Let us not forget her husband works in the oil fields and she is for increased domestic oil production.
The reason the Left and the News Media have been outflanked is simply because McCain, that old white guy, picked a female govenor from Alaska who is more qualified to be President than Obama. This happened after Obama threw Hillary under the bus (talk about a speed bump) and chose another old white guy as his running mate who is just as unfit for the office. In the end, the Liberal Democrats are all about talk and appearance and will always be outflanked by substance.
