The daughter has her own mind. And as most parents know if you push too hard all you get is rebellion. I notice that she hasn't thrown her daughter out on the streets with the old fashioned "Never darken my door again!" ringing in her ears. I would say her reaction, although probably upset by the situation, has been one of Christian values caring for her daughter. After all Jesus said we should despise the sin but love the sinner.
Don't know enough about the firing of her brother-in-law or the circumstances surrounding it so I won't say anything more on that. (lol, I sound like Forrest Gump!)
This Alaska thing - is that a bit like Scotland wanting to break away from the rest of the UK? Did she address them for or against?

Thanks Willow. You are the first on this thread to offer any perspective.
Since Governor Palin was nominated by Senator McCain to be his VP, many scurrilous reports have been circulated by the media.
The issue of the former brother-in-law is currently under investigation. This was requested by Governor Palin in light of accusations made against her. From what I have read, her former brother-in-law was not a particularly nice person. He threatened both her sister and father. Used a taser on his 10 years old stepson and was caught drinking alcohol in his patrol car, (he was a state trooper.)
At this moment, it would seem that Governor Palin has revitalized Senator McCain's campaign, since many Republicans had decidedly mixed feelings about him. That may change over the next few weeks. I never predict the outcome of elections because anything can happen - and usually does. |
