Lo,
Without writing an essay, I just want to say that my assessment was my speculation of those facts and rumors through the eyes of a right-wing extremist. For example, I think it would be an issue in the "Dr. James Dobson" camps if they knew that Palin's 17-year-old unmarried daughter was pregnant. Why? Because they teach and insist that abstinence is the only acceptable life-style. I was not judging people who are pregnant and unmarried. You often have a way of twisting my points.
As for having five children when one cannot provide for them without robbing them of time with mother, I am old fashioned -- I think it is neglect, most especially though when it is not necessary. This is clearly a woman who pops out children and then puts her career first. More commonly, women who want a time-consuming career, choose to at least have fewer children. I think it is poor family planning in her case. However, those in the funda-gelical camp don't believe in family planning or a woman's choice.
This choice of John McCain's is (IMO) an insult to women.
It will not surprise me if they actually do win because even though the Democrats are once again united, our country clearly is not. Could be that we are in a season of extreme outcomes. Only God knows for sure. I suppose I have better ways to use my time than try to be a political pundit.
I'm done discussing politics with you because I find your responses are more aggressive than is necessary and therefore, I usually regret any discussion of the issues with you. And no one else seems to be in the mood to exchange views. Continue on with your expert political analysis.
