What bothers me is that there are so many contradictions being tossed about as though they were truths. Not by Sen. Obama himself, nor by Sen. McCain or Gov. Palin, but by journalists and reporters and bloggers.

If Gov. Palin is a bad mom for “letting” her daughter get pregnant (now, I ask you, what was she supposed to do, put her teen on a leash?), would she really be a “good” mom if, instead of choosing life, they chose abortion? No, of course not. She would be a “hypocrite.”

If Gov. Palin shows “bad judgment” for flying home before she went into early-but-medically-induced labor, would she have “good” judgment had she stayed put? No, she’d be wasting taxpayer dollars or neglecting the rest of her family or both.

Where’s the logic in this? Why are reporters badgering the family of a teen girl’s boyfriend? Why are we worried about a DUI from 20 years ago, for heaven’s sake? (Let’s give the man the benefit of the doubt…he’s a little older now…and, after all, if he were more liberal we could just say, “Boys will be boys,” and get on with it!)

What matters is that voters have facts to work with, not rumors and slanders and innuendo and ridiculous behavior by supposedly impartial reporters. (The current media fiesta, in other words, is downright insulting to American voters. It needs to stop.)

Then, what matters is that we make our views known BY VOTING. Period.

Personally, I’m unable to vote for Senator Obama, because I can’t ever countenance the evil of abortion-on-demand. McCain’s VP pick matters to me, yes, but I’d vote for a third party candidate if necessary to make my personal opinion known to our politicians. And, come November, I will make my choice based on candidates and platforms, not on media reporting.

Flash back to a few years ago when this question was asked of the Clintons … “what if Chelsea got pregnant?” and both said “we’d advise an abortion” … that’s the prevalent attitude. Let’s kill the baby because “it will ruin my daughter’s life” … like abortion won’t?

I just think this is another plus for McCain’s choice — who knew about the pregnancy and still asked Palin, and Palin told him before she knew that he knew. Seems pretty pro-life to me!

Obama, has said he thinks his daughters should not be punished with a baby for their “mistake”.

Palin is now facing the issue for real and has handled this with grace and with love - we have a situation that may not be ideal, but it IS here and we will support life and demonstrate love, even if there may be challenging times ahead.

So very quickly after Palin has been chosen as VP she has talked the talk and now walking the walk - that is a most incredible example to all that God willing, will speak to the hearts of many who believe the lies of the culture of death.
