Tonight the GOP convention will serve as the stage to introduce the new and improved Palin family. Gone will be the sweet, innocent, and grinning, Alaskan modern-day version of The Waltons and in it's place will be the gritty, contrite, and humbled, average American family with problems just like everyone else.
The Palin family redux will also feature an addition, pregnant Palin daughter's boyfriend Levi, who may or may not be a willing fiance, who may or may not be a high school graduate, and who may or may not want children, but has one on the way anyway. Yet, he too will do his job, waving to the crowd, smiling and tightly holding Bristol Palin's hand.
This re-introduction of the Palin family will serve as the smokescreen for the Republican Party to hide behind and get folks to stop asking questions about truthfulness and family values. It quite clear now, that both McCain, Palin, and the GOP attempted to hoodwink the American public. The truth is they lied and now, they are lying some more. Painting a false family portrait for the purpose of political gain.
The truth is if they really believed in their pro-life policies, they would have proudly admitted that Bristol Palin was pregnant in the first place, instead of hiding her baby bump behind her new baby brother's body. And if Sarah Palin was really so devoted to her family, she would have turned over baby Trig's birth records to discount the rumors instead of tossing her seventeen-year-old daughter under the bus.
The truth is that Sarah Palin was not that naive or stupid to believe this was going to be a secret she could keep or an issue that would not result in intense media scrutiny for herself and her family. The truth is she didn't give a damn. Sarah Palin put political ambition before her family and that's the hardest truth of the story.

I thought it was rather strange that good ole Levi was enrolled in an federally regulated electrical apprenticeship program without a high school diploma. Turns out it was more than strange, but against the rules. No diploma, no program. Good ole Levi quit his gig before he got fired. Any ideas how good ole Levi got that gig in the first place? Sarah Palin anybody? I wonder what lies she's tell to cover up this mess.
