Is there a double standard?

This is definitely a double standard. If it were MR. Palin running for office, you would not be seeing all the hype. You would hear about it, of course, but it would be a small detail, not a big crisis the way everyone is making it out to be. It is none of our business. I heard from a customer of mine last night that Obama made the statement that if any of his staff tried to make this an issue in the campaign, he would fire them. I hope he holds true to his word if it happens and he did in fact say it.

Oh, the family life issue. With Republicans being how they are, I don't care about Palin's family life. Instead, I care about the Hypocrisy of the Republicans. If Palin's identical situation had applied to Hillary Clinton, the Republicans would have jumped all over it. Because it is a Republican candidate, however, they turn a blind eye. I don't trust hypocrites.

That is sad, but you are probably right! I just wish all the fighting would stop and we could peaceably elect a new president.. Like that is really going to happen! LOL
