Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
ZZZ... There have been lots of posts that McCain didn't thouroughly investigate her. I have to disagree while I don't know for sure. I just think that either party(when something like this is on the line) would do a thourough check. They obviuosly feel that it won't hurt her or the campaign. Yes it's news now, but will pass. As far as the Trooper thing I watched her interview on larry Kudlow about 2 months ago and she stands by what happened and is open to any investigation, if she had something to hide or did something wrong I don't think anyone Rep or Dem would be that stupid.
Lots of parents try to install values in their kids, which is of course their right.
However, Palin takes her own moral view and tells others how to raise their kids...she even uses public taxpayer money to fund her moralist agenda.
That's the difference.
The Chief of Police, in many cases an elected official might not resign from such a scandal as his kids smoking pot, but if the Chief ran his campaign to get elected on how parents should raise their kids, did photo opps of his family suggesting that they were parenting the "right" way, there is a very good chance that the consequence of his own failure as a parent would greatly impact his ability to get elected.
And in this case, McBush didn't properly investigate the situation prior to his pick of Palin as VP, which goes to his judgment.
You are a smart guy, certainly you can see the impact of what has happened...
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones at others, and moralists like Palin shouldn't preach to others when her own house is not in order.
