How can people say palin is a great choice ?

Question

she just had a baby a few months ago and went back to work when the baby was just 3 days old and above that the baby has downs and she is worried about being vice president she clearly has her priorites screwed up i am a mom and my daughter at one point was special needs and i could focus on nothing but her to me that says palin will let her children suffer so she can feel important and it speaks to her charachter please keep the comments nice and decent there is alot of low lifes that get off on trying to make other people feel bad because they have no life themselves

Answer 1

   ????????????????????????????????????????...                           Oh my gosh how did Joe Biden accept the senate seat while at his sons side in the hospital after his wife was killed. Its the same thing they BOTH have a higher sense of duty. dumb dumb dumb question, really is that all liberals have? just admit the choice is great.

example one-  My mom is a democrat ( but shes still my mom and I love her) and I just spoke with her and shes voting McCain now I'm  so very happy

Answer 2

Obama and his wife are running for the WH - and THEY TOO have young children, so I guess Obama and wifey are going to let their children suffer too 'cause they're busy parading themselves around the country to get in the WH!!    Palin is setting a GREAT example for her kids, showing them how successful you can be in life if you work hard at it and take things one step at a time!!   So, what's your point??

Answer 3

She is a brilliant but risky choice.

Those who are emotionally invested in an Obama victory are naturally gonna attack Palin as a bad choice, no matter how objectively wrong they seem.

Answer 4

Of course, if someone said she should keep herself barefoot at home in the kitchen, would you complain about how society is sexist and tries to prevent women from being who they want?  How about the father stays home with the baby?  Is that not an option?  Why are you digging at a woman who is successful and is trying to balance home and career like the rest of us in the world?  

Answer 5

I find it funny.. VERY Funny that people scream all day long for equal rights for women... then when you appoint a woman to a position such as this they all slam her.. and say that her priorities are screwed up or will let her children suffer. How sexist is that? Come on I thought we wanted women and men to be equal.. Besides she is not the only parent.. In this family there is a father in the picture... She is not the first person to be considered for the high office that had young children........  

Answer 6

no one really needs to worry about sarah. everyone just really is surprised by McCain's choice for VP. He threw a curve ball at everyone.

Answer 7

Here's her bio - get to know her before you judge.  It's really easy to look at someone else life and think about what you think they 'should' do...

I really don't know her either...wait until this week is over ...listen to her speak and hear her story before you decide...

Answer 8

She is a great choice. Even though she did have a baby with Down syndrome, she knew her responsibility to those that had elected her. What speaks to her character is that she chose NOT to abort the baby even though she knew that he would have down syndrome. She continued with the pregnancy and it is quite obvious that the child will grow up in a loving family. She is not letting her children suffer. She is a very down-to-earth person and one that every American can relate. Yes, she has been put into a situation with her son but she has managed to overcome it.  

Answer 9

She should have aborted the mutant so she could spent all her time working. Is that a better solution? She knew the boy had Downs Syndrome and chose to keep and raise him. She must have a few flaws, but motherhood is not one of her weaknesses

Answer 10

It's painfully obvious he just chose her because she's a pretty face. It's just to appeal to women voters. And McCain complains about Obama's lack of experience when Palin has been in office for only a year. What a joke.

Answer 11

Those people are deluding themselves.  It's a haphazard choice and it just added a ton of liability to the McCain campaign.

Answer 12

You ask: "How can people say Palin is a great choice." How can people like you, say she's not ?  Who are you  & the others to judge her so severely when you have barely heard her speak or walked in her shoes?  Must be nice to be so perfect in your perfect world. Stop being a martyr mom.

Answer 13

Isn't it the left that is pushing Government daycare?Wasn't it the left that used gender into pushing for a women in the Oval office.Does this make them hypocrites?Looking for excuses now?

Answer 14

In addition to the previously stated fact that she can afford professional care, she has more executive experience than Obama, and she can proudly have life long friends vouch for her character, unlike Obama who has to hide many of his old friends.

Also she watches budgets, hates ear-marks, is a hawk on ethics issues, and understands energy issues as well as having a history of going after those energy providers who try to abuse the citizens with excessive profits.  

Answer 15

Better yet how can people say Obama or Biden is a great choice?  They are not good choices and Obama talks about giving American what they want but leaves Hillary out in the cold and off the VP ticket when 18 MILLION PEOPLE voted for her? What an insult. Oh yeah....he really is listening to what people want.  NOT!  A working mother of 5 children. This is not uncommon these days. Sounds like she knows how to play the balancing act while providing for her family.

Answer 16

Many women go back to work after having a baby, even those who have children with special needs. That is the least of my concerns about Palin.

The woman is a beauty pageant bimbo.  She has no foreign policy experience...NONE!  She doesnt believe in Evolution or Global Warming.  She wants to criminalize abortion EVEN in cases of rape and incest! and she will be a heart beat away from the oval office with a president nearing 80 by the end of his first term who has battled cancer several times.

Answer 17

better question yet she supports climate control and global warming c**p.  I can tell you with great assurance that global warming doesn't exist because the global mean temperature has gone down a degree and the ice caps in the south are forming as fast as they are in the north ;).  Even if Global warming does exist and Al gore and Palin is right THEY WANT TO TAX YOU with a carbon emissions tax.  Remember it's YOUR FAULT!  Forget big oil companies like Exxon and Dutch Shell and huge land gobblers like Wal-mart it's YOU YOU SHOULD FEEL TERRIBLE.  Shame  on you it's all your fault TAX TAX TAX

Answer 18

People who think Palin is a good choice have had way too much of the GOP's special KoolAid.  Give me a break - her experience is no where near as impressive as Obama's.  Obama is a graduate of Harvard Law School, President of the Harvard Law Review, 8 years in the Illinois state senate (with a population and issues 30 times more complex than Wasilly, AK ), community organizer, gifted  leader, US Senator, intelligent and persuasive vs. a PTA president involved in a state trooper firing scandal!!!!

Put a fork in little johnny mac; he's toast.

Answer 19

I have four children. three of them are in the military as I was. I would be destroyed if one were killed in combat, but in the words of Lincoln, " what greater sacrifice offered on the mantle of freedom", I would sacrifice a child or myself for service to my nation. She is making such a sacrifice to serve. Most liberals don't understand that sort of selflessness.

Answer 20

Worrying about her parental status is sexist, make no mistake. Does anybody wonder if it's OK if Obama has chilcren or what will become of them if he takes office. Do you understand?

Give me a break; this is the 21st century. She will be an incredible role model for her children, and for women in the USA and around the world.

Sexism: look it up. You are spouting it.  

Answer 21

Delusional thinking, I guess. Can you believe that they think Democrats are worried about this choice? Personally, I think this may be just a manifestation of McCain's declining mental state. Her personal life aside, this woman has absolutely no qualifications for this position, much like Geraldine Ferraro in 1984.

Answer 22

Being the parent to a special needs child does't mean that you are handcuffed 24/7 to him/her.  Maybe she has a better support system than you do.

Answer 23

Are you a ware that woman all over America work today and leave there small kids with nanny's or in day care and yes some of those kids have disabilities . so how does Palin doing the same differ from all the American woman who work to support there children today .

and with her money i seriously doubt her children suffer . they looked beautiful and healthy to me .

Answer 24

Simple Gov Palin has more experience than Obama has

Obama's entire real world work resume. 145 days experience in the Senate with nothing to show for it, only 3 bills passed.  Zero military experience, Quick trip to Middle East, Never physically worked a hard day in his life……Barack Obama barely qualifies to work in a McDonalds. We wont even mention his devotion to extremist, radical and racist religious views for which he was ingrained and worshipped for the past twenty years.Two years as a lawyer and only 14 minor trials. And two years as a "community organizer" with nothing  accomplished.

Answer 25

What is wrong with going back to work right after having a child?  She has a husband, and older children who are more than capable to help her raise her beautiful, special child. I think you need to realize that you are extremely narrow minded and ignorant.  Different people are capable of doing different things.  I guarantee you her child with special needs is the most important thing, but she can do other things as well. I support this woman to the max, and can't wait to see what she brings to the ccountry.

Answer 26

USA will you do some research and stop guessing. You are embarrassing yourself...If he was only qualified for McD How THE h**l did he become presidential nominee? Stop being stupid...

McCain knew that woman all of four mins.

I am conservative, but this whole thing LOOKS desperate and grabby!

Answer 27

I think the better question is what is wrong with her? I don't understand the hype of picking her. She is a strong woman who has managed to juggle family and a career and keep her morals and values in tact. Something to be admired not criticized. Perhaps she feels she can make a difference in this world for those who have children with disabilities. Don't judge the woman until you have walked in her shoes.  

Answer 28

She is a GREAT choice because now the #2 person on the Republican ticket has MUCH MORE executive accomplishments than the #1 person on the Democratic ticket!  Amazing!

Wow, that must make the Obots embarrassed.

McCain/Palin '08

Answer 29

Palin is bright and motivated and knows how to run her life.  Maybe you don't have her qualities.  Your kid is either special needs or not.  Wanting a cookie is a child's special needs.

Answer 30

I don't need to answer your question, you answered it best yourself so I'll use your words.

"there is alot of low lifes that get off on trying to make other people feel bad because they have no life themselves"

Maybe you need to look in the mirror before you go judging how others run their lives. Learn it, live it.

Answer 31

I disagree  with you. It shows she can do more than one thing at a time. Lot of moms with special needs children work. And care for their families. Saying it as nicely as I can, your envy seems to be showing.

EDIT: Did you get your pats on the back for your sacrifices?
