Mother of Palin's boyfriend arrest

Yes, it is. Let me spell this out more clearly:

Palin is politically motivated. You noted that her 'motivation' (as it were) was to make herself appear to be more courageous or warrior-like in the eyes of voters. This means she has every reason to 'color' the story to fit that goal - just like HRC talking about "sniper fire" in Bosnia. That's how people work, and it's really the definition of 'spin' in politics.

This motivation seems much more clear than her motivation in going out of her way to appear pregnant to cover for her daughter, when any number of other, practical solutions would have been easier. The burden of proof, as it is, is on you, because you are the one violating Occam's Razor (among other logical tests).

I've noticed that posters who speak in platitudes are generally wrong.

I agree with this. It's even my very point. The most likely purpose, though, isn't what you're claiming it is.

I'm sorry if you can't wrap your mind around it, but your decision to remain in denial does not make this any less true.

The only thing I'm 'denying' is the logic of your assertions. I'm not a Palin fan, or even a Republican. Your application of false motives to my posts actually says more about you than me.

OK - so she just has a letter from the doctor. The absence of proof is not proof of absence. Hook me up with evidence. Once again - burden of proof. On you. Not me.
