Its not about being a republican or being a democrat...

As a mother, I'd prefer to be able to focus on my children. Especially being that her youngest has Down Syndrome, and her 17 year old daughter definitely needs her now.

Her daughter needs guidance, support, and she needs it from BOTH parents. A father can not do it all.

Does Sarah plan on leaving it up to a nanny to do what she should be doing for he kids?

I am all for working mothers, I am one. But my job DOES NOT come before my child.

  1. Hypocrite. Being a working mom is fine for you, but not for her? Who are you, or I, to judge her on this decision? This is what women have fought for and people like you are trying to shove us back into the kitchen barefoot with ruffled aprons.  


  2. If you're a working mother and you have a child, then why do you sound so sexist and try to make us women sound like the only thing we can do is care for our children?  

    Obviously, Sarah Palin is a VERY capable woman and believes that she has something of great value to offer to her country and it's citizens vs. just being a stay at home Mom.  Your question is an insult to all women and I am offended that as a woman, you are so small minded.

  3. She should step down for the good of her family - that kid doesn't need to be a poster child for out-of-wedlock pregnancies.

  4. Yes.

    In fact, she should have never 'stepped up' in the first place!

  5. No she should not. Gov. Palin is what this country needs right now. The notion that only a mother can take care of her children is an insult to all the great fathers out there. Are you saying that military mothers are flawed, because they deploy in service of our country? When these mothers deploy they must rely on their husbands and other family members to help raise their children. If your for working mothers, then realize not all jobs are 9-5, sometimes it involves struggle. In my opinion, Gov. Palin is running on a ticket that will keep a man out of office that has an association with a known terrorist, William Ayers. I certainly do not want my children growing up with a president that surrounds himself with people that blow up Government buildings.

    McCain/Palin 2008!

  6. NO

  7. No! She's helping the Dems.. Keep it up i'm sure more skeletons will appear

  8. I can't answer for her.  I wouldn't want to be in politics myself.

  9. You know, I don't get this. If a man comes to the presidential campaign with children, people think nothing of it. This isn't the 1950s. She doesn't have to be a housewife and mother. I'm willing to bet that she didn't make this decision lightly, and spoke with her husband and children about this possibility at some point. If she thinks she can do it, who are we to say she can't? I think she represents a growing trend of successful, professional women who are also mothers, and I think what she is doing is awesome.

  10. She's to far into this election to pull out. She should have given up all the fan fair and thought of her children before all of this started to take place. She should think of her youngest, the 17 year old had the guidance, but now needs the support from her mother also. A home without a mother can be unhappy, ask any child that has lost their mother what life is like without a mom to ask those special questions that come up in the life of a girl, that dad can't always answer. Politics will do nothing good for this family, except give them problems.

  11. Yes, I do. She never should have stepped up the the VP position when offered, knowing that it would throw her daughter/family into the media spotlight. And I would say the same thing if she were a man. If she is truly the great political mind the Republicans say then she would have her turn later on in life when her family needs were not so heavy. I'm not against women working or women in high profile jobs. I'm against Palin knowingly putting her daughter in the public eye at time in her life that should be private. She knew what the media has been doing to Obama, she should have seen this coming.

  12. No way. She worked hard for where she is. Her daughter has a big responsibility but that shouldnt ruin her mothers career.

  13. Y should she step down? She is a working mother and who said that she was putting her job b4 his kids? Her husband will be staying at home with the kids if she goes into office. And so what if she does get a nanny, if I could afford it I would have a nanny also.  

  14. Why do you care?


  15. She should never have accepted.  Four kids at home, all with the need for a mother's attention, one with additional needs.  Can she even be relied on in an emergency?

  16. No she has the support of people who believe in the rights of a child

    to be born and not cut up and tossed in a trash can. Obama and

    Biden both are pro abortion plus if anyone should step down it should

    be Barrack Obama he can't even produce a true birth certificate and

    is being sued by a fellow Democrat to force him to prove he is an

    American born citizen.

  17. They are betting on it on Wall STreet.

  18. No, she should not step down.

  19. So,  it's ok for someone else to raise your child for you but it's not ok for the Palin's???

    How do you know that her job is preventing her from providing the guidance and support her children need.  How do you know what would spread her too thin?

    And how do we know that your job does not come before your child.

    Just because you say it doesn't make it so.

  20. No, because a vice president does not have to be overly active in politics, but does need to be informed on the issues.  Palin, being a straight shooter and pretty direct, will not be wasting time like many people who run meetings, thus having time to spend with her family.  Kennedy managed to run the US, spend time with his family, and have affairs, I'm sure Palin can manage to balance family life with her job as VP.

  21. No she shouldn't!  Besides, her daughter will have the baby well before she takes office with McCain.  Her family backs what she's doing, or I'm sure she wouldn't be doing it.  She may have a nanny to help with some things, like her baby.  But what's wrong with that?  I'm sure she'll spend alot of "quality" time with her family.  We don't know what their plan is, so we shouldn't make assumptions.

  22. As an Obama supporter...NO...best thing that could of happened for Obama.

    As a human being...yes...her family has already suffered enough for her blind ambition.  She should start to think about her family.

  23. All I'm going to say is a lady knows when to leave.

  24. so if it were obama...should he step down? because a child needs both parents sexist...thats all that is

  25. yes!

  26. No, she should not.

  27. Yes. True conservative wives belong in the kitchen.

  28. VP is not just a job, it is a committment to serve your country...a concept you obviously do not understand!
