Why would Senator McCain select a woman who really need to be at home focusing on the needs of her Child?

Question

Why would he thrust into the National spotlight and pull her away from her responsibility to her child at this critical period in the life of the Child?

Other Competent Republican women could have been chosen as his VP. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Olympia Snow or Condi Rice. Far more experienced and in a much better position to to serve in this top position.

Answer 1

You mean it's wrong for her husband to stay at home to care for the child?

None of the other choices you put up would have been as good of a ticket for Senator McCain...he does not really get along with the two senators and Secratary Rice has repeatedly said she is not interested (plus she has never been part of a political campaign).

I thought women fought for the right to choose?  Or is it only to choose what you believe in?

Answer 2

This is 2008 get over it !lol

Answer 3

Well it does beckon the question - is this family having this crisis because they have a mother who is NEVER HOME?  Seems possible to me!

All the rhetoric about this 17 year old being old enough to make adult decisions and get married and so forth is just bull c**p in my opinion.  THIS young girl is a CHILD and too young to be having s*x, getting pregnant OR getting married.  

WHAT ON earth is McCain thinking?  I dare say it sure lost MY VOTE and I think many many others as well.  It can not HELP but damage the Republican ticket in my estimation.

Answer 4

I am sure that Governor Palin has better access to daycare than the typical working mother. As governor, she probably has a full staff to assist her and is probably close enough to home in case there is an emergency.

I do agree that if McCain REALLY wanted a woman on the ticket, there were much more promising women to pick from and Kay Bailey  Hutchinson was at the top of my list.

Answer 5

because she is a woman? did Biden give up his political career when his wife was killed? the question assumes only women should be responsible for their children.Is'nt is sexist to assume child raising is the sole responsibility of the female?

Answer 6

Wait.....I thought libs supported working mommies....why the flip flop?

What's wrong with a stay at home dad, like the one the baby has?

How often does Barry see his kids? His brothers? Hmm.....

He picked her because she has some brass kuyungs and will stomp the competition.

Answer 7

The Baby Daddy can take care of her Gil.

Answer 8

That infant is actually her first grandchild. Sarah Palin faked a pregnancy to cover up her daughter's FIRST pregnancy.

That's one way to demonstrate family values, and it fits right in with McCain's lie about the adoption of his daughter being a result of a direct request from Mother Teresa.

Answer 9

Because we're all allowed to make our own choices.

Answer 10

BECAUSE THERES SOMETHING CALLED A BABYSITTER OR A MAID ...............AND HER HUSBAND CAN DO THE WORK AROUND THE HOUSE
