Woah.

I'm donating again today.

Sounds like the right kind of mean :)

Although, I assume there is a minimum donation for a card, otherwise it gets eaten up by postage.

I'm pro choice but I think as the donation scheme is openly opposite to Palin's views, Planned parenthood should not send the thank you notes.

You mean that there are some redeeming values to Failin Pale-in?

Think of it this way: if Obama gets elected, NRA donations will go WAY up.

Okay. It's still funny.

Doesn't seem like Bristol Palin planned her parenthood very well. Sarah must have missed an abstinence before marriage talk with Bristol. Not to worry, Sarah will try to force it down the throats of the rest of us.

I donated. Would've donated more if I could've afforded it, but that's the economy for you.

Maybe I'll donate again when my next paycheck comes 'round.

I donated last week... but someone else had another suggestion... the minimum donation is $5 online... So if you donate $25, why not break it up into 5 $5 donations... then she gets 5 thank yous instead of one...

But Good on Planned Parenthood and whoever started this viral campaign.

READ THIS AS AN EXAMPLE OF ELECTING AN OLD PRESIDENT AND HAVING AN INCOMPETENT VP UNDER HIM.

When I was 17 and living in Brazil in 1985, Brazil was going back to democracy after 20+ years of Military rule.

The first President post Military rule was to be a 75 year old Tancredo Neves, he won the election (which was still indirect at the time) and the country lived a moment of euphoria and hope. He was highly trusted among Brazilians so 1985 was starting and it was new times in Brazil. Things were looking great!

But then (from wiki):

However, just one day before he was scheduled to take the oath of office (March 15, 1985), Neves became severely ill. He suffered from abdominal complications and developed generalized infections. After seven operations, Tancredo Neves died on April 21, 1985[2]. He was succeeded by José Sarney. Neves's ordeal was intensively covered by the Brazilian media and followed with anxiety by the whole nation, who had seen in him the way out of the authoritarian regime into what he had called a "New Republic" (Nova República). His death caused an outpouring of national grief. Tancredo Neves is counted among the official list of presidents of Brazil as a matter of homage and honour, since technically he never became president.

His death was devastating to the country and his runningmate Sarney took over.

What followed was one of the worst 4 years segments in Brazilian economic history. Sarney was a disaster. In 1989 the first Direct Presidential election was held and Sarney was finally gone.

Moral of the story is that a VP pick for a 70-something year old is very important and McCain which is close to Tancredos age when he died and Sarah Palin is not what you want to be President in case something happens to McCain.

People need to think outside their party lines. Any Republican that says Palin is A-OK cannot be serious.

Thank goodness!
But not Sarah Palin's goodness.
It is her lack of goodness that made this possible.
It shows that it spite of one's self, it is possible to make a positive impact on society.
It's republican reverse leadership. She points the way by illustrating through her belief system and behavior what not to do so that people are motivated to do the opposite.

Katie is my cousin-in-law. She will be seriously flattered to be featured on C&L!!!!

Sooooooo....let's see. The U.S. and Pakistan are about to go to war by accident, but Palin might be able to prevent it because the new President of Pakistan has a crush on her. Lucky escape.

One thing I've noticed about Palin and it may be why the McCain campaign doesn't really want her answering questions. Well, beside the not-too-bright thing.

She fires up her mouth before her brain is fully engaged. You can actually count 1000, 1001, 1002 and then whatever the sentence started as will change to what her brain is now thinking.

The problem is that once that thing is up to speed what comes out makes less sense than when it was just the mouth doing the work.

James @ 12:

This is asinine. Stuff like this becomes fodder for the Limbaughs of the world and energizes abortion opponents for the McCain campaign

Oh no, not that! What could be worse than shit stains like Rush Limpballs and Sean Insanity making this an issue. Anything but that!

At what point will Dems start doing what is right....WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT HOW CONSERVATIVES WILL REACT???

Has the GOP ever concerned themselves with how liberals will respond to anything??? No. They don't give a shit...and that's the attitude we need to adopt.

Bottom line: it's time to finally grow a pair.

Great idea, Katie! caribou barbie gets hoisted with her own petard!!!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Liberals abort fetuses.
Conservatives kill anything that emerges from the womb.

OK, this getting way beyond surreal:

This total bonehead stands a good change of ascending to the U.S. Presidency. Should that happen, we are finished.

No wonder McCain wants her kept in a bubble.

Chris @ 22:

This is actually kind of disturbing. It kind of feeds into the whole stereotype of "Liberals kill babies"

I agree. I hope John McCain wins. :]

Wandering off the path here for just a minute. I have been watching Sen. Dodd being interviewed on cnn. He said today they were working out a core issue about the bailout and he thought everyone was going to agree to it. But out of nowhere comes some sort of press release from the repubs in the House that changed the core issue and this came as a result of something McCain had added. According to Dodd things got contentious for a while. Now Dodd feels they are almost back to step one. He said he's tired and you could tell he was angry. He feels like McCain pulled some political ploy and now the repubs are supporting him. He feels like the rug of all their previous work has been pulled out from under him. I don't blame him for being pissed.

One has to wonder if McCain did this on purpose to delay a final vote on the bill so he could stay in DC tomorrow and tomorrow night without looking like a total debate coward. At this point I would put nothing past him. He's like the thing that just keeps bugging you and won't go away.

Having used the services of PP for many years, I can tell you that most women go there for regular gynecological services and contraceptives and education. I, and my friends who regularly went there, never had abortions. We were able to prevent unwanted pregnancies because of the services PP offers. People who just associate PP with abortions don't have a clue.

BTW, my donation just went through with thanks to Gov. Palin!

I'm not sure where I stand on Planned Parenthood. It has some very disturbing roots in both racism and the early Eugenics movement. --Which while they've distanced themselves publicly from now, I still have to wonder about. With control freaks like Bill Gates being so heavily involved in their efforts, I am really given pause. I'd like to know a lot more about such a powerful organization before throwing any money at them.

While I think it's great to see Sarah Palin create such a reaction, I wonder if Planned Parenthood is the right vehicle for opposition.

Chris @ 22:

Conservatives kill babies by denying them adequate health care.
"Love the FETUS, to hell with the CHILD!"
What's up with the whole "Fetus Fetish" anyway?

David @ 45:

More people on the planet equals more cannon fodder for their wars. Simple as that.

I donate every time I go there for a check-up, but I think I'll send them a little extra this year for Sarah's sake, bless her heart!

Classic!

Lemonade from lemons!
Love it!

Whoa now, hold on a moment! @ 43:

WNHOAM,

I totally respect your right to pose these questions. I'll just offer that for myself, I figure this nation as a whole has roots in racism, so I trust those who've owned it and distanced themselves more than anyone who claims to be pure.

My bias: close family relative used to be a family planning doc for PP, mostly doing checkups, Pill, & IUD... and yes, mostly for indigent and married women who had no other regular medical care at all.

There also out there doing a heck of a lot more to prevent the spread of AIDS among our young people than Bushie. So again, not to force others to share my opinion, but I want to sing their praises.

Just a bit of history for @43: After her death, the founder of Planned Parenthood was eulogized by no less than the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. I wouldn't be so quick to buy into the "racism" b.s. that the anti-choice camp reflexively trots out. They may be reality-challenged, but they've become good at adapting to the zeitgeist (in this case, the general abhorrence of racism) . And aren't ashamed of lying to do it.

Comrade Kilgore Trout @ 24:

Any wife who calls her husband "First Dude" is trailer trash.

THANK YOU for saying this. It's written ALL over this chick. If there's anything a re-thuglic goes for - it's "trashy."

Is the surge working?

I know that (some, not all) Planned Parenthood clinics perform abortions, but what everyone seems to forget is that they offer sliding scale (and that means free for the poorest) reproductive health care. When I didn't have health insurance, I got my yearly exams, including pap smears, there at a price I could afford, and when I had "lady problems" they helped me out then too. They also provide access to birth control methods, and do a lot of education. Of course, Palin objects to birth control and education, but most people don't.

I saw some similar reminders up above, just wanted to chime in with my own experience.

You racist clowns would support the eugenics project known as Planned Parenthood.
