In Palin's position, could you accept the nomination?

Question

I don't know if I should commend her or if she's crazy! She has a son going to iraq next week, a 4 month old special needs child, a pregnant teenager, and 2 other children. Does that seem like a lot on her plate to be running around the country campaigning? should she be focusing on her family instead? When she says "country first" does that mean before family too? Thoughts?

Answer 1

Her son is grown. Her pregnant daughter isn't. According to his myspace pg..Levi Johnston doesn't want kids..and now he will have a wife and a baby...hmmmmm...shot gun wedding???   Especially now? (oh and now the account is suspended)  Dads can take care of kids..if they want to..Moms (for the most part) have to. It would be interesting.. but then again we won't have to worry..OBAMA/BIDEN will be in office anyway

Answer 2

Well she is a very strong woman - untill she cracks

Answer 3

If I was Palin, I personally would not have accepted the position because she has too many family issues to resolve at home before taking a national office position.

Answer 4

Yes I would accept the nomination, sure she has alot on her plate,but she can do with the support of her family.

She has her family beside her,supporting her every day.

Sure she has a 4 month baby with down syndrome a pg  teenage daughter which should be a private family matter,her son going to Iraq,and 2 other children,but she has the love and the support of her family.Doesn't Biden have a son going to Iraq?

Answer 5

So it is your position that it is a mothers place to run the home? These kids also have a father who is quite capable. Did Biden give up his political career when his wife was killed in an accident years back???nooooo--so whats with the double standard?because she is a woman?? how liberal of you....

Answer 6

What is staying at home with them going to do?  Her son is going to Iraq....her daughter is getting married.  They will both be out of the house.  She has a husband that is able to help out with watching her infant.

Most working families have daycare.

Answer 7

Yes

Would you be asking the same question of a male candidate?

Seems to me that Biden has a son on his way to Iraq too.

Answer 8

sad to say, but no, i wouldn't. i have only one son, and i've had to give up potential jobs that would have paid very well if they would have interfered with my college classes or if the time required would have taken away from time with my son. if my baby was older (say 13 or so) it wouldn't be as much of an issue, but the woman in me knows that my family needs to come FIRST. a baby with down syndrome is something serious to deal with, and any woman that just throws that baby to a nanny so that she can collect a pay check, makes me sick to my stomach.

Answer 9

There are different forms of neglect, this could be considered one of them.   I guess she puts her own goals ahead of her children.

Answer 10

Can you accept the nomination? Are you little miss perfect? Go and listen to your master, stay out of her family affairs.
