With the VP's teenage daughter pregnant I'm bewildered by this ad accusing Obama of supporting sex education for students.

I love how it says it is "sex education to kindergarteners". Usually that "sex education" consists of teachers telling them that if an adult or anyone touches them where they wear a bathing suit, they should tell their parents, teacher or some other authority figure.

I think Bristol Palin could have benefited from some sex education. "Red states" are the center of the country for teenage out-of-wedlock pregnancy.

And one more thing - this is an official ad from the McCain campaign, not something put together by some nutty group.

1. I know we're not supposed to call any race cards, but

nah, there's nothing there. (Fixed on edit)

2. I don't see OJ at all.

However, I agree with the OP. This is an issue the mccain/palin ticket should avoid. Teaching abstinence, obviously, is not foolproof.

3. Thanks for the reality check.

Corrected.

4. Well, when kids are having sex at 7 and 8 years old...

I think it's time to teach them earlier.

There were these two little boys that lived next door to my mother and my little sister (4 at the time)

The boys were 6&7 or 7&8 and they got caught... servicing each other... for lack of a more tactful term.

6 and 7 years old.

I don't know what is and isn't true about that ad, but what I do know is that kids are experimenting younger and younger.

5. With the Foleys & Craigs out

there, it is never too young to start! Obviously meant as a joke, but McCain is past the point of no return & independents and moderates aren't buying this shit anymore. McCain thinks that because he got a bounce from the base that everyone wants old school republican style politics. It won't be the first or last mistake his campaign makes. Fuck mr. pow honorable moose campaign pow fucking moose town pow hall pow war moose mongering pow piece moose of pow shit.

6. I would beg to differ with you

The McCoarpse campaign is a nutty group.
