Nothing about MY life is personal, as far as her policy is concerned. But the minute it's about HER life and HER family, well NOW it's personal and off-limits and I'm a political schemer and general bad person for pointing it out.

We have a winner, but you're too narrow-scoped. It's the whole damned neoconservative branch of the Republican Party (which seems to be 80-90% of the current elected officials).
Remember folks, this is the party who's vice president slammed a fictional Murphy Brown for having a fictional baby out of fictional wedlock on a TV show. They've established for decades now that they are the party of family values. Single parents, children out of wedlock, sex before marriage, all morally reprehensible and all anathema to Republican Party values.
Now they want us to elect a vice president who raised her kid to be, according to them, morally reprehensible?
I ain't buyin'.
