KNOCKED UP, THE CONVENTION

.
MCCAIN's VP, UNFIT MOTHER OF UNDERAGE MOM, TO ADDRESS GOP GATHERING

PREGGERS TEEN & DROP-OUT BOYFRIEND SHOWCASED BY "MORAL MAJORITY"

Is This Any Way To Run A Family? A Campaign? A Country?

What a fine moral example Sarah Palin sets. Too busy pursuing her extreme right-wing evangelical political agenda to raise her own children (or even feed & rest her unborn child, who ended up being born retarded), her ambition has now trumped her own daughter's health and welfare. In fact, her daughter may end up on welfare, like many single Moms. She comes from a State where every last citizen is effectively on U.S. Government support already(paid for by the taxpayers of the "Lower 48"), so no biggie for the Palin's, I guess. The proud papa & grand-dad, in the same year, was jobless himself when his last kid "happened." So much for responsibility.

Palin's slutty daughter and the rubberless teen father "planned" the pregnancy, rather than leave it to "God's will," like the elder Palins, who recently gave birth to a child with Down Syndrome. And by plan, I assume the kid meant he decided not to pull out at the last minute. Unfortunately, the horny little hockey puck did not "plan" to graduate high school at all, or get married before fornicating and forcing a child into another child's womb. Where I come from, this is called "statutory rape." You'd think the State's Governor would want to prosecute that. I guess she's too busy trying to look Presidential on national TV. After all, her running mate could drop dead any second. Gotta keep up appearances.

According to the Repukelickin's themselves, Palin only came clean about the bastard birth to be because the blogosphere was belaboring the rumors that Palin's own recent child-birth was just a cover-up for her preggers daughter. Actually, Palin only came clean on her pregnancy in the first place because she thought she'd been caught out by the media. Anyone seeing a pattern of deception and then hasty, pretended openness, here? Palin, the "open-government champion," has also cloaked official proceedings in her attempt to keep Alaska's favorite bear off the endangered species list, even though its' entire habitat is disappearing due to oil-fueled global warming.

Even the Nazi media are uneasy about this consistent strain of poor judgement, irresponsibility and lack of concern for traditional American values. Corporate puppet-heads who usually clack their wooden jaws in artificial delight over the Republicans' every move are having qualms about this latest sequence of events. A Vice-Presidential running mate chosen by the man himself, Dick Cheney, has led his foolish "boss" into war and recession. Now an unwise choice made on the basis of no facts will put an inexperienced and unwise VP in charge of the mightiest military and the largest economy in the history of the world, the first time old McSame falls down and can't get up. Nervous, anyone?

To top it all off, the arrogant, power-mad one-year Governor of America's smallest State, if you count people, will now parade her knocked-up unwed high-school-aged daughter, and the high school drop-out who raped her, onto the stage at the Republican National Convention. Can't wait for the thunderous scripted applause for this one from the hall packed with crazed right-wing fundamentalists and oil company executives. Sarah Palin is their dream come true: Someone with no personal morals or political scruples, who will do anything to get their support and further their anti-American agenda. So what if her family is a fucking mess? She's a fundie and an oil-whore, and she's desperately, blindly ambitious. That's good enough for the Republicans. And the DEVIL!!!

"Bristol Palin's boyfriend heads to convention"

' The boyfriend of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's unwed, pregnant daughter will join the family of the Republican vice presidential candidate at the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn. Levi Johnston's mother said her 18-year-old son left Alaska this morning to join the Palin family at the convention where Sen. John McCain will officially receive the Republican nomination for president. The boy's mother, Sherry Johnston, said there had been no pressure put on her son to marry 17-year-old Bristol Palin and the two teens had made plans to wed before it was known she was pregnant. "This is just a bonus," Johnston said. On Monday, Palin and her husband, Todd, said Bristol planned to have the baby and asked the media to respect the couple's privacy as has been the tradition with children of candidates. Sarah Palin is scheduled to address the convention Wednesday night, and traditionally her family would join her at the conclusion of her speech. Levi Johnston, a hockey player for Wasilla High School, is not listed on the team roster for 2008-09, and his mother wouldn't say if he graduated. She said simply he's no longer a student and any further information would have to come from him. '

ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS
"Secret's out: Palin pregnant"

' Gov. Sarah Palin shocked and awed just about everybody around the Capitol on Wednesday when she announced she's expecting her fifth child. That the pregnancy is so advanced astonished all who heard the news. The governor, a runner who's always been trim, simply doesn't look pregnant. But people just couldn't believe the news. "Really? No!" said Bethel state Rep. Mary Nelson, who is close to giving birth herself. "It's wonderful. She's very well-disguised," said Senate President Lyda Green, a mother of three who has sometimes sparred with Palin politically. "When I was five months pregnant, there was absolutely no question that I was with child." Palin beamed as lawmakers, Cabinet members and others came by to congratulate her at the Baranof reception, a legislative event Kodiak officials sponsor annually. Her husband, Todd, was there holding the couple's sleepy 6-year-old daughter Piper in his arms. Palin said she's not aiming to take any time off from her job as governor, assuming all goes well with the pregnancy. She said when she had Piper -- Palin was mayor of Wasilla at the time -- the baby was born on a Monday and she returned to the office on Tuesday. "I've always been a believer that God's not going to give us anything that we cannot handle," Palin said. Todd Palin, a BP oil field worker currently on leave from his job, said he's thrilled to be headed toward five-time fatherhood. "I'm really excited," he said. "Every child you get from God. The more the merrier." Aside from Piper, the Palins have three other children: Track, 18, serving in the U.S. Army at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks; Bristol, 17, a high school junior; and Willow, 13. Palin, a Republican, was elected as Alaska's first female governor in 2006 and took office in December of that year. She's kept a hectic schedule in recent days, traveling last week to the National Governors Association conference in Washington, D.C., followed by a trip to Los Angeles on Monday for a Newsweek magazine conference also featuring Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano. The magazine profiled the two in its Oct. 15 "Women & Power" issue. With Palin riding extraordinarily high popularity ratings, pundits have mentioned her as a potential vice presidential candidate. But she said Wednesday night she's "not pursuing or perpetuating it," adding, "I have no desire to leave my job at all as governor." Palin said she decided to reveal the pregnancy after she felt the signs were giving her away, like doing less running this winter and being "ravenously hungry." She's known as a fashion plate, but said she hasn't been dressing differently to cover her barely perceptible bulge. '

"Noonan, Murphy trash Palin on hot mike: 'It's over'"

' After a segment with NBC's Chuck Todd ended today, Republican consultant Mike Murphy and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan were caught on a live mike ridiculing the choice of Sarah Palin. "It's over," said Noonan, who then responded to a question of whether Palin is the most qualified Republican woman McCain could have chosen. "The most qualified? No. I think they went for this — excuse me — political bullshit about narratives," she said. "Every time the Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it." Murphy chimed in: "The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical." '

LONDON TELEGRAPH
"Republicans rebut claims they failed to vet Sarah Palin"

' "There was a vetting team on the ground before she was named," a senior McCain adviser told The Daily Telegraph. "These were people who know how to do it so they can get in and out quietly. "Nobody noticed them when they were here. There is nothing that we have encountered about Sarah Palin that we didn't already know about." Republican officials concede, however, that the decision to select Mrs Palin was made very late and some parts of the normal vetting process were dispensed with in order to preserve the element of surprise. Mr McCain did not find out about the pregnancy of Mrs Palin's daughter Bristol, 17, until last Wednesday, two days before he announced she was his running mate. It had not been planned to reveal the pregnancy until after this week's Republican convention in St Paul, Minnesota. "There were all of these blogs stating that Sarah's son Trig (her four-month-old son, who has Down syndrome) was actually Bristol's baby," said the McCain adviser. "Of course, that was not true." "Then there were rumours starting to emerge about Bristol being pregnant. So we decided to go ahead and be open and clear about the facts and also lay down a marker about protecting the privacy of the children." Bristol Palin and her fiancée Levi Johnston, 18, who are due to be married early next year after the birth of their baby in December, arrived at Minneapolis airport to attend the convention in nearby St Paul.
