Well, aren't you just so clever....
You are full of cutesy little statements all ready to bash people over the head. Do you sit around all day thinking up your cute little smart remarks? I keep hoping you will have something less trite to contribute.
I generally don't ask people their age on these forums, but I am wondering if you are borrowing your parents notebook.edit on 17-8-2011 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)

Oh yes,don't you remember when the Progs said she oughta abort her Down Syndrome baby because Down Syndrome children do not have as much right to be on this earth as their illustrious and perfected selves?
Although they actually hid their hatred of people less perfect than them by saying she was selfish to give the baby life when all they want to do is save it from a life of being Down Syndrome. Just like Margaret Sanger wanted to save poor black women from their babies, and wanted to save the poor black babies from a life of poverty.
After all, Progs are still about eugenics after all these decades. Today's Progs who promote abortion to get rid of Down Syndrome babies sure sound like yesterdays supporters of eugenics. Here is Margaret Sanger on the subject.
The Review printed an excerpt of an address Sanger gave in 1926. In it she said:
It now remains for the U.S. government to set a sensible example to the world by offering a bonus or yearly pension to all obviously unfit parents who allow themselves to be sterilized by harmless and scientific means. In this way the moron and the diseased would have no posterity to inherit their unhappy condition. The number of the feeble-minded would decrease and a heavy burden would be lifted from the shoulders of the fit.13
Sounds like Death Panels to me

I don't see issue with her lecturing on it when she can speak about it from first hand experiences and knows the consequences and downfalls of such choices. Now if she is lecturing like she holier than though and deceiving people then that's an issue.

So what, big deal.
That is one thing I hate about American politics, all campaigns boil down to , throw dirt on your oponent to win.
Seriously, GROW UP?
It speaks volumes about the American people and their mindset.
Is that a way to run a country? No platform to stand on so you just throw dirt?

You really need to listen to one of her speeches then. This is such a simple concept I cannot believe how it confuses so many.
She preaches abstinence only because that is how she was raised and she FIRST HAND knows just how well it works.
Still not seeing the issue?

pretty sure that's not a "straw man" argument. Perhaps you should google "straw man." Saying that I've learned lessons and Sarah has too and feeling the need to share those lessons... you call that a "straw man" argument? FAIL.
A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.[1][2]

So your argument is that she's been there and done that, and having done that, she makes the case that it's best to have children in a solid married family?
You're just looking for any reason to hate her. Admit it. C'mon... admit it... you hate her and you don't know why and you can't posit a single argument to found your angst. It must be hell to be you.

and illegitimate kids aside, I'm voting for her if she runs. So is my wife, and 90% of our county.
We're just simple country folk. We know character when we see it. We know leaders when we see them. You can scream and cry all you like, but the fact remains: she has our vote.

I made it clear if she was deceiving people in her lectures then that is an issue.
I get it it but then I don't listen to the woman or even like her.
If that's how she feels and shares that as her stance then so be it. I am against drugs and yet I have done them before. It doesn't make me a hypocrite unless I deny it it though. Perhaps the real issue is that the people who listen to this woman are not asking tougher questions.

Would you let sarah babysit your kids? I would
Would you let sarah watch the register in your business? I would
Would you hire sarah? I would
What you would get is - A pregnant daughter, empty cash register and an employee who quits mid project.
You'd ask Sarah..."you were babysitting my daughter!! How did she get pregnant! I was only gone an hour!"
Sarah's Answer "I love Jesus, but girls will be girls and her boyfriend dropped by, you betcha!!"
You'd then ask what happened to the money in the cash register...
Sarah's Answer " I only took money to reimburse the travel costs of me and my family to come and watch your register. I also needed to look nice while doing it so I had to buy a new dress as well...uh...and of course my family also needed to look nice while I watched your register and they needed a nice meal as well and their gas money needed to be reimbursed as well....and before you knew it, the register was empty...You Betcha!!!"
And then you'd ask why, oh why, after taking all the money out of the register did she quit mid-day before her shift was over!!
Sarah's Answer: "Well me and my family just got so much attention with our new clothes and all that I realized that I could get paid BIG BUCKS to smile and say things people want me to say....and after all...your cash register is empty. Later!"
Not rhetoric...Historical reality.
