Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter is pregnant and some are seemingly outraged. I find this ironic given that the vocal majority winked and didn’t think it was a big deal that a married president of the U.S. receives oral sex from an intern in the oval office.

A double standard.

What is refreshingly amazing about candidate Palin’s daughter is that she is keeping the baby and marrying the father rather than treating the fetus like a mistake and getting rid of it.

Sarah Palin gives a great speech at the RNC and commentators ask, “But was it really her or the consultants and speech writers?” Bill Bennett answered well, “The speech writers look at everybody’s speeches.” I don’t recall anybody asking that question about Michele Obama’s speech at the DNC.

A double standard.

How can a mother of five have time to be V.P. of the U.S.?  This question raised by people who on the one hand complain that women aren’t given the opportunities they deserve and then question the ability of a capable woman who is given such an opportunity. As so many have pointed out, we don’t ask that question about male candidates.

A double standard.

Look, it is the nature of Democrats and Republicans to take aim and issue with each other’s views and platforms but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call either party on using double standards to advance their cause.
