Forget the fact that John McCain only talked to her once for 15 minutes before choosing her. Forget the fact that she doesn't believe in the teachings of birth control in addition to abstinence and her 17 year old daughter is pregnant out of wedlock. Forget the fact that she is in denial about global warming, and that Polar Bears shouldn't be on the endangered species list. Forget about the fact that she received her first passport in 2007 to visit soldiers in Kuwait and a visit to Germany and Canada. Forget that she's a Governor of a state of only 683,478 people, and has been for less than 2 years. Forget that she's under investigation for trying to illegally use her power to get her ex brother in law fired from the police force. Forget all the numerous other facts that make you wonder 'what in the heck was McCain thinking???'.
But what I want to know is how in the world is this mother of 5, with her children's ages of 19, 17, 14, 7, and a 4 month old with down syndrome, and as I said the 17yr old pregnant, her 19yr old son being deployed to Iraq, going to be able to care for her family, give them the complete attention they deserve, and still be a heart beat away from the presidency, and possibly, God forbid, in charge of national security of the free world???
What mother in their right mind would put ANYTHING or ANYONE before their family in the way she would have to? How do you leave a special baby so young and helpless at the time he needs his mother the most? How do you give your full attention to the country when your daughter is going through so much in her life? And what do you tell the 7 year old when she hasn't seen her mother in days because she's off flying around visiting the rest of the country or the world for that matter?
They talk about her pristine values of family and faith. So where does family fit in now? Is she so naive as to think that running the free world deserves nothing less than her full undivided attention? That it is ok to put her family on the back burner so she can pursue this campaign? Or if she does become vice president that she can 'call in sick' if there is a family crisis?
Gov. Palin would you want the lives of your children, and the rest of the world to be in the hands of someone with as little qualifications as you have?
Is it fair of you to ask your children, especially your little precious baby son, to give up your full undivided attention?
How can you perceive yourself to be so high and mighty and put blinders on when you put your family, and the entire world in harms way????
I am a woman, and a mother of five, a grandmother of 14, I left my job and struggled to live off just my husbands salary so I could be home with my children and care for my mother who had Alzheimer's. I know the stresses, I know how you can not concentrate entirely on work when family needs you, oh and they do. Not for one moment can you fool yourself into thinking that any other adult with them can be there for them the way their mother can.
How can you Gov. Palin? How can you do this to your children? And how can you do this to the American people?
