It's about lying and hypocrisy. The following are remarks in regard to a thread I read that basically said that maybe some of us on the DU are treating the Edwards situation and the Palin situation differently because one is a Dem and one is a Pubbie.
I could give a shit ~~ not even a small one ~~ if Edwards fathered a baby with some mistress except for the pain it caused Elizabeth and his family. That latter effect causes me a great deal of sadness. However, as to approving and/or disapproving of his morals ~~ that is none of my business. I just do not like the lying about it and pretending to be something he was not.
Same goes for Palin and whether this baby she was suppose to have had really belongs to her unwed 16 year old daughter. I could not care less if that is really her grandchild and not her child. Sad to me, tho, that Palin pushed that "abstinence only" bullshit onto her daughter and the kid got pregnant. If this is what happened, then lying about it does not change the outcome. This is an issue of parental stupidity and not a judgment on morals...and she should admit that "AO" does NOT work.
Again: It's the BS associated with all of this if both these two "family values" candidates are spewing their superior moral shit in public and covering up the truth that would and does make them look like a person with less than great "family values."
JMHO
