Serious Damage to Political Future?

Making news this week is the Palin e-mail hacking case. Seems the suspected criminal is the son of a democratic lawmaker and also a student of economics.

Feds have been able to track his activities and have arrived at some conclusions, according to recent news articles.

If the young man is found guilty of the crime, he may have done serious damage to his father's political future as well as his own.

What do you think?

Palin has the inside running for controversy.

With my Republican hat on, I say yes, it should do serious damage to his career. Unfortunately democrats generally defend such persons and will make the path easy.

With no hat on -

I will say that the son definitely needs to know some serious consequences. There is likely room for caution before hanging the father. Caution must be excercised before one punishes the parents for the actions of their children, assuming the son is old enough to know better. I do not think I saw an age. Through the years, many a parent has paid for the failures of their children.

I read that the son is 20. His career goals might be forever be tainted -- his father's perhaps too, at least as much as is remembered by voters from this point forward. The father appears to be innocent and even shocked over the event. He is protective of his son, but at the same time knows the gravity of the situation.

A common fear through the centuries is that a child's behavior will bring shame to the family. One can only imagine the anquish of the famililes of the Colombine shooters who by means of relationship suffer the stigma of their relative's act.

aftermath would be very difficult to live with. Outsiders assume that the blame is shared by all the family, even if there are no facts to support that idea.

With this lighter situation, it is still a challenge as a parent to continue to communicate love to the child, while at the same time calling for proper discipline and legal ramifications. That is just the way it has to be. Anything other than appropriate consequences for the bad behaviour, is really a harmful lie.
