I find some of the responses to this post very telling. Because it concerns Palin and her dysfunctional family and future (I still say the marriage will not happen) in laws, we should let it go. When she was campaigning and everyone was discussing the fact that Levi was a known druggie, Palin’s kids were druggies and criminals. The picture that she and the RNC were attempting to paint of them as being a clean, wholesome, typical All American straight laced family was a lie. And when the news comes out to contradict that facade, certain people get up in arms and scream “leave her alone” Yet if this was news coming out about Barack’s mother in law or other family member, people on this board would have a field day. Offering it up as proof that he should not be our president and that the media covered up the story until after the election. Why can’t we make the same argument about Palin? Why is this coming out now, almost two month after the election? If the police were watching her for a while and had the goods on her, why not before the election? What if Palin would have won, wouldn’t this have been an issue for her to deal with? And yet as the Governor she feels no need to respond to this issue or address the citizens of her state that someone connected to her was arrested for drugs. Certainly something she should be fighting to diminish in her state. Oh, I see, but that is only in regard to everyone else, but when it comes to her family and those close to her it’s a non issue. Gotcha. Who’s kidding who?

That explains some of the obnoxious behavior of Levi in Facebook.

“How many of you are willing to guarantee the behavior of in-laws and potential in-laws?” By Walter Wallis on 12/19/2008 11:25 am Nobody, but why didn’t “Mother Sarah” know what kind of family her daughter’s lover came from and discourage the relationship? Or does that fall under the same category of sanctioned child neglect as denying sexual education and birth control? Shouldn’t somebody who was as quick to point the finger of speculation at our president elect’s family background and values as she was be a bit more selective about who her children spend their time with?

More trash.

This is what I know…when I was dating in High School…(when Dinosaurs roamed the earth…) any boy I dated was vetted with far more skill than McCain’s camp used when vetting Palin. My Father made a point of knowing as much as he could about the boy’s family…that went for any friend that I spent time with. Its a parenting thing, kind of like teaching kids about the consequences of un-protected sex…! It is the same with my children now, are my sons allowed to hang out with the kids around the corner whose parents routinely brawl in the front yard after too many drinks? NO! Is it fair to punish a child for an adult’s behavior that is beyond the child’s control? Perhaps…but I have to do what is in the best interest of my children. Its MY JOB! I know their friends and I know their friend’s families. Oh…and living in a small town helps…people talk…and my town is a hell of a lot larger than Wasilla!

Okay, since no one else wants to be the first to respond to Jim’s post, I will. Jim, read carefully. The difference between me and anyone I know personally, and those of this website when it comes to people we know who are on drugs or come from dysfunctional families and Palin is….none of us ran for V.P and attempted to promote ourselves as being “A typical, All American, normal, run of the mill family.” Especially when you know that not to be the truth. The typical All American family DOES NOT have children who are out of control that drink, smoke, does drugs and engage in illegal activities. Nor do they have parents who are not aware of whom their children are consorting with and their respective families (as J.B. so eloquently describes). No one on this site or me had a political party working diligently and spending a great amount of money to assist in perpetrating and promoting that same false identity in the hopes of “bonding” with Middle Americans to win votes. Knowing that if they left her to her own devices to speak her own words and dress and behave as she truly does, most Americans would view her for what she is….a hick in lipstick. A woman who had to attend a multitude of colleges before she could gain a degree. A woman who is at heart an actress and whose original goal was to be a sports reporter and beauty queen. Someone who is full of personality, career driven at any cost and is indeed charismatic, but lacks tact, an open mind and the ability to speak intelligently unless provided a script. You should be married to Palin, “Children don’t want their mothers and fathers snooping on them” What? My prayer is you don’t have any children. If you do they must be the most out of control kids on the block! Who cares what a child wants? A parents role it to provide for their needs. Emotionally, physically, spiritually and instill family values and morals. There is so much that is wrong about your statement I can’t even begin to address it. As for EVERY thing you had to say about Obama, again, it just points out how uninformed, bias, racist and out of touch you are. P.S. Thanks for the compliment; I love being referred to as a young lady. :-)

Belinda…Thank You…Well Said.

Belinda, I applaude your effort……….but You and I both know it will be in vain. This man offer’s nothing interesting nor inviting to any conversation. Everything I’ve read so far has been only to denegrate all the women who participate on Wowowow. As in the past when this kind of person’s only obvious purpose is to be a S__T stirrer (to be blunt) our obvious action should be NO RE-ACTION. Thanks for your efforts Belinda…………I always enjoy your writing. Have a good night.

You’re absolutely right Dona, and usually when I read posts like his I don’t respond. But I have my days where if you catch me in a prickly mood, I just can’t help myself and will respond. Then I usually regret it and wish I could remove it. This is one of them because you’re right it serves no purpose.
