If you had actually read the post you replied to, you would find that I was talking about the poor choice of the republican party/McCain to put someone in that position in the spotlight, knowing it would cause scrutiny.  As far as Bristol goes -- I personally don't care if she has 16 kids, much less if she's married or not.

So, again my message was not about Bristol, but rather the republican party.  Why?  Because the republican party (or at least what they call their base) is not a socially progressive party.  If they were they wouldn't be fighting against things like abortion and gay/lesbian marriage.  And yet they stick this woman out there with less than ideal circumstances (unwed pregnant daughter) and expect everyone to be okay with that, when if the shoe were on the other foot, they would be all over it.  That was the point. 

If you are going to argue a point, then please at least try to stay on topic.  Geezzz.

Sorry, I'm still venting from the SCHIP garbage that was on today. They absolutely want to pass this immediately without looking at amendments, etc. They want an additional 11 million children covered ( nothing wrong with that) EXCEPT they want to put it on the smokers to pay for it. Now, with the way they are trying to get smokers to quit, I would think that's a stupid and absolutely wrong idea.

Like James Webb (NC) stated, "Do we really want an unhealthy habit to pay for a healthy habit?"What happens when the smokers quit because of all the taxes they have to pay to keep these programs going? Who is going to pay for it if every smoker quits? You have nothing to back it up. There would be a black hole and eventually, every citizen would have to pay for it.

I agree totally with his statements.  Why is it they expect an unhealthy habit to cover healthy habits? It makes no sense. At least this rep has his head together, yet the others don't think about the future costs.

When are the  American citizens going to wake up and start thinking for themselves? Why, oh why, do we keep voting in people who don't even think for themselves, just vote by party affiliation?

Glenn Beck stated we have to keep the phone lines to Washington and keep calling in to our reps to stop the nonsense (sp). I agree.

I watched the jerk put in the Senate by fellow voters from my state today and I had to turn him off  (I didn't vote for him-he knows nothing). I am going to write to the newspapers in that area and ask them WHY did they vote for him? Betcha my answer will be "He gave us so much money to get our projects done." "He's the son of our late governor." "He's from our area." That's no reason to vote for somebody. If it is, then I must be totally wrong for voting the way I do. I vote who I think will do the best job, not if he's from our area. That's part of  the problem with politics today.

I'll get off my  now. Thanks for reading. I promise no more venting today.
