Digital television?

This is in regard to the article in the Nov. 24 paper where Bristol Palin stated, “Going out there and winning would mean a lot. It would be like a big middle finger to all the people out there that hate my mother and me.”

This young lady stayed on “Dancing With the Stars” a couple of weeks longer than she should have. It was the conservative vote that kept her there.

This voting on these stars should be for their dancing ability, not their political affiliation, race or religion.

When is the public going to wise up and vote for the talent?

If Bristol thought she was a better dancer than the two parties that finished ahead of her, she is living in a dream world.

Grow up, Bristol. As to your mother, I don’t like her, but I don’t hate her or you.
