But one of the "planks" of the Republican platform is this "nucular" family.
Not just that it is the ideal we should strive for, but that anything less is wrong, immoral, maybe even should be criminal. Should definitely be looked down upon. So, is this plank of the Republican platform something Palin disagrees with? Is she more open in her interpretation of "family"? If so, she should speak up on the subject, because right now, it looks to me like a bit of hypocrisy. If not, is it just a case of "do what I say, not what I do?" If it is, is she willing to give other people the same pass for being human and having failings as she is giving herself? And are her supporters willing to do the same? Take for example John McCain's answers to family-related questions this week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llZuoMXpr4s Also, the clip from the Daily Show last night comparing O'Reilly's take on this family vs the take on the Spears family is telling.
