What kind of Christian is Sarah Palin in your opinion?

Question

As a conservative and a Christian I was not very happy with Mc Cain'shoice..Sara Palin might be a great govenor in Alaska but this woman who is 44 been in politics 2 yrs has 5 Children a baby with Down Syndrome a 17 yr old daughter in High School who is pregnant

and Paln who has a Stay at home husband

How is this a pick a good thing for traditional values? I am all for pro-life which she is and her ability to be a govenor, but she has 5 Kids 2 Special needs kids, is it Christian and Conservative to be so selfish by putting your 17 yr old unmarried pregnant teen in the *Media Spotlight*? shouldn't she clean her house first... meaning take care of her kids before she's Mrs Smith goes to Washington?

What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

Hi I am conservative too.  IMO you are worse than her baby with Downs.  Go crawl under your rock of retardation and hopefully (in Darwins name) die young!

Answer 2

Can I ask you this.

Would you feel this way if it was the husband who had the political career?

Would you feel this way if Obama had a seventeen year old daughter in the same situation?

I doubt it. I doubt it very much.  

Answer 3

  I think this lady will make a great VP.  .Our country would be far better off  without the mythology of Christianity..  God is pure love, truth and joy and I see none of these qualities missing from Sarah Palin..  God bless

Answer 4

She puts the Super in Woman

Answer 5

Oh my word...

Christians attacking Christians -- y'all should be on WWF

Answer 6

It is gret tht you want to take care of your fam bam when you have one, every situation is different, she goes to work her hubby stays home if they prayed and asked God and have peace and the hubby does not feel less of a man then by all means support your wife and encourage your hubby, but do I think McCain choice was the best he could of chose? NO!!

I believe he is after the (Hillarys) undecided votes.  

Answer 7

I'm the mother of 4 with a special needs child.  I see that has no bearing on her ability to lead.  She takes excellent care of that child as does her husband.

I'm atheist and don't see a need to attack her or her 17 year old daughter, regardless.  Taking pot shots at a kid tells me you're more judgemental than many christians.  

Parents instill values in their children and hope that those values stick.  Good kids still make bad choices so this situation does not warrant trashing the entire family.  I don't care what her political views are, republican or democrat or independent.  Her pregnant daughter is not an indicator of her as a parent.  

If Palin was a christian liberal, would you be going after her kid as well?

Answer 8

You sound like her 17 year old daughter is the first girl who is pregnant at that age. She has more then 2 years experience in the government, she was also a mayor for a number of years. She seems to have more experience then Obama who has also been in politics for only 2 years

Answer 9

Wait, what did you just list "kid with Down Syndrome" under?

Answer 10

Aren't you folks supposed to forgive? This question is exactly why I have never been nor will never be a Christian.

Answer 11

I'm not a fan of her voting record, or even her for that matter.

But, I don't think I would ever criticize a woman for having kids and having outside goals too. Even if those kids have special needs.

Perhaps her husband is the better suited of the two to stay home. It doesn't bother me he stays home.

The face of the American family is changing, whether you like it or not.

Still not voting Republican, but in some ways...she does deserve a break.

Answer 12

Mr. Palin?  Would you ask this question if Mr. palin was the VP candidate?

Answer 13

Pretty much like all Christians...delusional and insecure.

Answer 14

Whoa.

She's spent the past 13 years in elected office.

Maybe you should worry about the beam in your own eye...

Something along those lines.

Answer 15

She"s young and one of the only politicians with a kid in the military. This trumps alot of negatives.

She didn't force her kid to get an abortion and the down syndrom kid is no negative.

The biggest problem is her experience. McCain talks like her being mayer and head of PTA make her qualified for the VP position.

Why do you care about the stay at home dad stuff?

Answer 16

Those are some good points w/ regards to her motives, but none of that has anything to do w/ Christianity.

Answer 17

Don't you think that traditional values area little outdated within a modern society.

Personally it shows her complete hypocrisy.

The daughter of a millionaire having a really hard time I guess.

Answer 18

Sarah Palin is the kind of Christian who wants others to conform strictly to her idea of what her religion is, but cuts herself and her family a lot of slack because of circumstances.  It's called "situational ethics".

In other words, she's a Hypocrite.

.

Answer 19

I don't know her and nothing in your post indicates that she is a bad person or even a bad Christian.

Answer 20

Breakdown in the family unit, she should have been home, but today they urge the women to have it all, do it all.  I will vote for them, but it grieves me.

Answer 21

I love it, can't even resist the chance to judge their own...

evidently there are levels of Christianity, like 1 to 10...

Answer 22

How in the world can you criticize a person for having "special needs" children?  

Is that what they mean by "Christian love?"

Answer 23

I think she is a wonderful Christian who is NOT responsible for her daughter's pregnancy and I am so SICK of judgmental people like yourself who gossip and call it concern!  

i.e.  Did you hear about Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter?   We need to pray for her!    GOSSIP AND JUDGMENT!

yea without sin cast the first stone!  

Answer 24

This is a very interesting question, really makes you think.  In Judges 4-5 we read about Deborah, who was the fourth and greatest (with Gideon) of Israel's judges.  Because of her devotion to God's people, the land of Israel enjoyed rest for 40 years.  It is possible that God Himself is raising up Gov. Palin to fulfil His purpose in the last days.  Also, it was a woman at the well whom Christ first revealed who He was, the Messiah, and it was to a woman whom He first appeared after His resurrection; I believe these two examples, plus Deborah that reveal the Lord uses whoever He desires to carry out His will, even women.  "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."  Gal. 3:28  The best thing we can do for Mrs. Palin and her family is to send up prayers on their behalf, because they sure do need them as we all do.  God bless you!!!

Answer 25

In her defense the baby with downs syndrome is in keeping with the 'never abort' thing and it's good of her, by her own standards anyway, to raise 'it' herself. It's not like we've linked Down's Syndrome to snorting coke or anything. As for the rest, if you (Sarah P.) can't walk the walk then don't talk the talk.

Answer 26

You know Crimmy.. I personally will probably vote for her and McCain just for her stance on abortion and g*y rights alone.. But I never seen anyone put it quite like you have.. And you know what ? I agree... I mean.. A mom with five kids two handy capped has no business being Mrs Kick butt politician.... I personally as a Dad if God had ever given me that privilege would always do what's best for my kids. But I guess this is what the feminist movement has brought us. I suspect McCain picked her just for the fact that she's a woman. And even in the conservative republican ranks. Many women voters have a feminist mindset. Your even seeing it in the Church today.. Good post... God bless !

Answer 27

I think Sarah Palin is perfect for this country.

Answer 28

what kind of chrisian? are you judging? what kind of christian does that make you? she's in the spotlight & has been HONEST about her life--it's not perfect (nor is anyone else's) and I think it's refreshing that she answers the questions honestly.  So her daughter's pregnant and she has a down syndrome baby--what the heck do either of those have to do with her ability to be a good VP??? can anyone answer THAT question?~~

Answer 29

Everyone was goo goo over Palin until it came out her daughter is pregnant.

It is ok for you to sin but not another Christian?  I'll bet you did a few things in your life you wouldn't care for anyone to know.  

And who are you to say what another woman does is right or wrong?

Answer 30

It doesn't matter what kind of Christian she is in my opinion, the only opinion that matters is God's. Why are you concerned with what kind of Christian she is, wouldn't you be better concerned with what kind of Christian you are?  

Answer 31

If you don't know her personally, who are you to judge??

I get so sick of alleged Christians thinking they know the state of another's soul.
