I, for one, will NEVER underestimate the stupidity of the American people so this wild gambit by Old Granddad may work. I am heartened by today's polls (which have Obama leading 49 to 41 after a near dead heat of 46-44, immediately after McCain chose Palin).
Regarding the white trash drama of Palin's 17 year-old unmarried daughter being five months pregnant. The Republican spin doctors want to couch this a personal matter for the Palin family but it speaks directly to Palin's judgment - or her lack of it. She rails against the teaching of sex education and contraception in schools (even though studies show children who receive sex education are SIXTY PERCENT less likely to become teen parents) and reaps the bitter fruit of such wrong-headed policy based on antiquated religious beliefs. I am further alarmed by the family's knee-jerk reaction to make a bad situation worst by forcing this child into a shotgun wedding purely out of political convenience. It is just this sort of religious knuckleheadism that has us embroiled in the fiasco in Iraq. I am sure Bush prayed before he made the more disastrous decisions in American history. And, to channel Dr. Phil, how did that work out for us? ~(no)rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Bosco Bosco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > First off, best wishes and prayers for all those affected by Gustav.
