This is a funny thread, I love it when Foreign people tell us who to vote for...


McCain/Palin 08

I love Half Price Books

I don't believe I said SHE has to be home with her children. I think I made it gender nuetral and said a Parents first obligation is to parent first and that she had spread herself incredibly thin. If this candidate was a male with a pregnant child I would be saying the same thing. It is virtually impossible for a candidate to be a significant parent figure of minor children and campaigne for presidency from everything I have read about candidates children. I would find this especially true in the years that adolecents need both parents fully committed to parenting. Which I think the behavior of the Bush daughters made painfully clear. It is fortuneate in deed that both young ladies survived their very out of control behavior. What I find particularly remarkable is that Chelse Clinton seems to be a normal and centered as she was and is. As a parent of a profoundly handicapped child I can not fathom how a parent of five could do and adequate job from the campagine trail or for that matter any highly demanding job. I beleive it is beneficial for children to have two working parents don't ever mstake my beliefs in that arena I just think that the 24/7 nature of that level of public office is not compatiable with parenting.

When someone bcomes a parent I believe that becomes their first job above all other allegiances. That Palin is a mother of five, one child with a severe disability and another child pregnant I think it is spreading herself incredibly thin even with a supportive husband to try to govern a state much less the entire country and in some references the world because what we do as a country definitely reflects on the whole world. What I find incredibly selfish on Govenor Palin's part is that she would subject two pregnant teens, and their siblings not to mention both infants, to the kind of firestorm of media her candidacy would create during what I would consider a health crisis. Teenage pregnancy is difficult enough to cope with without every fanatic in the world feeling it is open season. To me it shows and incredible lack of forthought or loyalty to her family to put such blind ambition out there for her career over their needs. If she is such a desireable candidate she could have easily waited another four years and ran when her family had gotten over this drama. While I don't pretend to believe that parents can monitor their teenagers moves so closely as to prevent sexual activity I do think she could have been monitored enough to perhaps prevented this pregnancy with birth control had she been paying attention enough to have assumed she might be sexually active. Maybe if she would have been looking into her own windows rather than her brother in laws she would not be pending charges or copeing with and unwed daughter. Considering the Govenor's family had secret service protection it unfathonable to me that she did not know this was going on and made some kind of pre-emptive supervison. After all these teens are minors. I think she was just too busy politicing. If McCain thinks that he can wrap up his M-16's in baby blankets he is mistaken. You can bet this won't be one teenage father signing up for BDU prenatal coverage like so many young American's who can't find work or affordable houseing but then maybe the tabloids or the lobbyists will pay for this child instead of the taxpayers. I am not counting on it.

So by your standards... presidential candidates should not be parents.... mmmmK that's realistic isn't it?

Like a priest giving spousal counseling....

how can she manage the whitehouse, let alone the country and its international neighbours and its conflicts? i think she should return to alaska and keep the borders intact there.

just my opinion.

Actually I follow your thinking there and would like candidates to be parents if at all possible but if the situation is a special circumstance like a child being pregnant or having other catestrophic needs or maybe just still being a minor I go to the first in time first in line concept. You loose certain priveleges when you become a parent and have to set aside or delay some of your plans in the best interest of the family in my humble opinion. I am not faulting Palin for her daughter's choices what I am faulting her for is expecting a teenager to always make good choices and not at least adapting her goals to address the situation that was presented. Please Excuse the double post.

i do not vote, nor will i vote because i do not live in the usa but, like the rest of the world we have our own opinions and this is mine - she should return to alaska and keep the borders there intact from russia. she is not fit for the whitehouse.

Im not American and no little about Sarah Palin, but what a croc of S**t to not vote for her because her family has some issues. That just makes her more normal doesnt it? Or maybe you want someone who is 'perfect' and as a result is not in touch with the same issues that you and your family face?

incubating a life, a living fetus, is not a health crisis.

are you daft?

or AGAINST THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE as though it is a mere antiquated notion of the same poor idiots that osama nobama says cling to God and guns as he has characterized half of this great country's people when he was speaking to the lunantic fringe in San Francisco while trying to earn points with comrade nanny peloshki? (dem SF) chair of the Senate...hhmmm.......


these thoughtless comments reveal that babies are no better than a disease the way you put it.



I will stick with Mrs. Sarah Palin's judgement.


Hers is recognizeable to me.

yours is abhorrent and tasteless and cruel.
