Sarah Palin's Family Values

Shame on you for writing this piece of shit. Is your follow up going to accuse them of going after the 18 and under vote? Geez!

Out Republicaned a Republican, hmmmmmmmmm?

Nah, hadn't got that bad, yet! This actually reports on something that is true.

"Now I want to make fully clear that I believe [this] should not be made the subject of a national debate over Palin’s qualifications for the vice presidency."

"However . . ."

WOW!!  Talking out of both sides of your neck!!  This reminds me of a movie quote from Billy Madison:

"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Republican's dont care about those under 18. :D

Indy Star

[QUOTE]Y-Press, the program for young people aged 10 to 18, has been denied press credentials to cover the GOP convention here. Lynn Sygiel, bureau director for Y-Press, said other youth press groups also were denied credentials. The Indianapolis-based group has covered past conventions, including last week's Democratic National Convention in Denver where they were given five media credentials -- including two that allowed the young reporters into the convention hall -- plus two additional credentials for the convention's final night when Sen. Barack Obama accepted his party's nomination.

...

Sygiel said that one Republican convention official told her the rejection came down to this: "It's because they cannot vote."

"I said, 'You didn't just say that,'" Sygiel recalled.

She said they did have two 18-year-olds among their staff members, "but that would have been a pretty small team."

BRAVO!!!!

You people should have listened to your "Leader" who said there's no place in the campaign for this garbage.

I agree that there's no place in the campaign for this garbage.  I also think an interesting point has been raised.  One that I posted on another forum just yesterday.  Sarah Palin has recently given birth to a baby with Down's Syndrome.  A normal, healthy baby is enough of a handful, but a child with special needs is even more work.  On top of that, she has her minor daughter who's about to give birth as well.  Those two issues should've caused her great pause and much consideration over the offer made by McCain to be his running mate, especially given the fact that Mr. Palin isn't a stay-at-home dad.  So who's going to be raising the kids.....and grandkids? 

I can't tell anyone else what to do, but for me, family comes before career.  There are plenty of jobs I could go after, but those jobs wouldn't allow me to be an involved, present mother to my son.  So I don't do them, period. 

We all have to make choices in life.  She's chosen her political aspirations over the needs of her children at this time, IMO.  Family values?  I guess it depends on what your definition of family values is.

Well maybe she has a good family support system. I sit for my children so they can have careers, what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another.  And we have a lot of female politicians with children.  IMO th we can be to quick to judge her, you can read all the things printed but walk a mile in her shoes first.

That's is what this is all about - this and now, judgement for both Palin and McCain. I have serious doubts these two have good judgement abilities. I don't want someone with their finger on a nuke that makes snap, gut feelings on quality judgement decisions.

I have heard a Palin speech where she envokes "God" for all her decision making and if you don't agree with it, then you are going to hell. This included ANWR oil and gas decisions. This was way wacky and makes me know she is not fit, period.

I agree with you to some extent, Krol.

Think about it, though.  As Vice President, she would rarely be at home.  She would work horribly long hours.  Her children would be in school during the day, other than the baby.  Her time with them as VP would be extremely limited.  Not saying that grandparents aren't fully capable of caring for children, but why have five of them if you're not going to raise them yourself?  Doesn't make much sense to me.  Again, it's just my opinion.  Some people put career before kids.  Men have been doing it for centuries.  I've talked to many who've lived to regret it.
