I have heard some of the news on this. So let me be as clear as possible. I have said before and I will repeat again. I think people’s families are off limits. And people’s children are especially off limits.
This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories.
You know my mother had me when she was 18. And how family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anyone supporting me understands that is off limits.
I agree that it shouldn't be part of our politics BUT THE GOP HAS MADE IT A PART OF OUR POLITICS. All the bloviating about "family values" has been used by conservatives to demonize liberals and attract the votes of the Fundies. I mean, what does "Focus on the Family" really mean apart from a political movement? Palin's positions on abortion and contraception are fair game, no matter what Obama says.
