Tell me Cheri, IF Washington or Franklin ran today, with the SAME political views that they had back then, VERY Ultra-Conserative by today's standards, would you vote for them and the ideals that they set this country up on?
I like to think I would vote for men who wanted to put the best interests of all the people above their own self interest, but I don't think I've ever seen one, so who knows?
As to Palin, SHE did not knock up her daughter.
Ummm - did someone say she did?
What I said is that her blind allegiance to 'conservative values' got in the way of proper parenting.
There is NO evidence that being a conservative or liberal has ANY bearing on someone's off spring getting knocked up or knocking someone up.
There's plenty of evidence that the conservative ideal of abstinence has a tremendous bearing on the problem of unwed teenage parents.
I DO, however, think that it IS better if a MAN and a WOMAN, raise their children TOGETHER!! Men and women think DIFFERENTLY. Children NEED BOTH parents to learn the lessons they need. While it is intirely possible for a woman OR a man, to raise a child ALONE, a child learns MORE when BOTH are there for them.
