I only care about what she stands for.
- A PG girl marrying at 17 because she is PG
What does this have to do with anything? it is not a political viewpoint that has anything to do with her candidacy or what she will/will not if elected.
also, we do NOT know anything about her daughter or her boyfriend. they may be very much in love. yes, the pregnancy may have hastened the marriage, but again, we don't know them and it might be the best thing. granted, most 17 year-olds are not getting married, but that doesn't mean it's not a good thing. many people up through our generation were married young and had long and happy marriages.

I'm just curious... for those who don't think Sarah Palin should be running for VP b/c she has too many kids or "issues at home" consider yourselves to be liberally minded.
In my opinion, yes. I fully support gay marriage, gay adoption, the right to choose, the right to equality, freedom of religion, renewable energy, etc, etc. I just also think that her priority right now should be her family, and the same goes for her husband. I don't think that THAT is UN-liberal.
so everyone who has a lot of kids or a teen who gets PG should quit their jobs?
In a "normal" job, probably not. But in this case, I mean the woman promotes sex abstinence. How are people like me going to take her seriously?
It's one thing to believe in certain things but if you can't even apply what you believe in at home, what does that mean for others?

So anyone who is having a hard time in their personal life is incapable of doing their job correctly?
I understand that her position in very important but why can't people believe that a woman can separate her career from her personal life?
A person can go through very trying times and in no way does that mean they are suddenly unable to do their job efficiently.

But IT IS absolutely a deciding factor on who she is for me.
Aren't we going to vote for her for what she is, what she believes in, how she raises her kids?
Heck yes!!!!!
It's not about do as I say and not as I do.
Not for me!
I trully believe in walking the walk and talking the talk!

i think this is a little extreme. like we ALL listened to what are parents said? i don't think so.... PALIN is running for VP... not her daughter. I am sure ALL parents would ask that their children abstain from sex as teenagers. just because her daughter got pregnant does not make her someone that I can't take seriously....

You can't force anyone to do anything. She has no control over what her daughter does. Unless she knew her daughter and the boyfriend were having sex and did nothing to end their relationship I don't see how it relates to Palin's beliefs being challenged.

we all know that often what parents say, the kids don't listen. it doesn't mean that she was a bad mother or didn't raise her kids with her values.

I'm not saying she should quit her job. She doesn't have it yet, remember?  I'm saying that maybe this is not the best job for her at THIS time and that when something this big is happening at home, then parents have an obligation to their children to be there. Father AND mother. Mother AND father. I never said quit their job. I said to be with their family. I'm sure we would all expect that of our families and I am sure we would make many sacrifices for our families should something like that arise. I'm saying that this girl...she should come first. Not us.

Honestly, I decided she was not a good candidate before I even knew about her baby with down syndrome and a PG daughter.
I actually really like McCain and he completely messed me up.
I was not hot about Obama for various reasons.
But now he puts a totally inexperienced woman to grab women votes and now I don't know who to vote for.
All I know is that I can't vote for her as a VP because she is the extreme of the Republican party.

Re: Palin..just some of my own personal thoughts...add yours if you'd like...
Someone commented hours ago on one of these Palin threads that the Clinton's should be applauded for raising Chelsea to be such a great young woman.
So the example Bill set when he let a very young intern blow him, the he used cigars as sex toys then shared them with the guys and left his DNA on Monica's dress, all while married & with an adolescent daughter....THEN LIED TO ALL OF OUR FACES. Then to top off the great moral example Hilary decide to forgive & forget rather than kick his sorry lying arse to the curb!!!!!!!!!!
C'mon people, this country has overlooked some REALLY $hitty parenting, heck some people even think they deserve accolades 
I realize that crap happened DURING his term, but doesn't that make it EVEN WORSE?????

To all that quoted me....
How can you tell people to believe in her and what she says when from an outside POV that she was not "successful" with her beliefs at home?
How can people think it will work for them if she was unsuccessful?
I don't know whether she is a good mother or not. I don't think any of us really know that.
I actually would not vote for her because of her beliefs.
And that was before I even knew her son had down syndome and her daughter was PG.
But let's face it!!! She does bring a lot of "baggage" to a difficult race to win for either party.

While I think you are probably correct, I actually don't understand the logic in this. the conservatives weren't going to vote for Obama anyway, why not choose someone less conservative to win over the people who were still undecided?
I was still on the fence until I saw who the VP nominees for each side were. I will probably not vote for McCain now and it has nothing to do with Palin's personal life.

Executive, yes. McCain has no executive experience either though.
However, I really don't think you can compare. He has 8 years as a state senator, 4 as a U.S. senator. He is familiar with DC, she is not at all. As far as foreign policy goes, she has no experience. I think I heard she didn't even get a passport until last year, so presumably, she never left the country before that. I see her as too much of an outsier and too inexperienced to jump into office.

ITA.
The Republicans were never going to vote for Obama anyway.
But McCain could have had my vote.
He lost it when he picked Palin.
And I am not anti woman at all.
I wanted Hillary to be the nominee.

Obama is green without a doubt. Actually too green for me.
This election is really challenging for me.

yes but she isn't running for President. and HAS executive experience. Senators vote yay or nay, they don't run anything. nor are they the sole reps from their states.
also, how much of a senator do you think Obama has been since he announced his candidacy in Feb of 2007?
if you want to bring up that he was a state senator, Palin served two terms on the Wasilla, Alaska, city council from 1992 to 1996, then won two terms as mayor of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002.

I have to say, that I am quite upset (I don't know if that's the right word, but we'll go with it for now) at the number of people on here and the number of media who are eluding to the fact that she should be home caring for her family and not running for VP. Isn't this where we want our country to be heading? Where a woman can run alongside a man? I mean, I guess when people said they would love a woman to be in office (as Pres, VP, whatever), they were expecting her to have raised her family already or have none? I don't know. I just find the reactions to be interesting. I will NOT be voting for McCain, however, I do feel some sort of desire to defend a woman's place in our political system, regardless of the age of her children or the situation her children are in.
And this is in no way trying to call anyone out, I am just shocked at the reactions on here, IRL and in the media.
I'm not voting for McCain/Palin as we have completely different views on too many issues.
I agree completely with the OP. From the other posts, it sounds like people want a woman in office but not one with a recently working uterus. I'm sure if an Ann Richards-like candidate was on the ballot, people would not have an issue with it.
I'm a working mom with 2 kids. It is extremely difficult to give 110% to work and family. It doesn't mean it's impossible, it just means that well, sometimes my child isn't dressed as a cowboy on Western Day or maybe someone's offer letter didn't go out because I was home with a sick child. As President, she cannot afford to let something fall through the cracks. She may have nannies, extended family or a husband who is on the ball to help with the kids. She may be the person that only needs 4 hours to sleep. I find her policies offensive, but having small children does not disqualify someone as a candidate in my mind.
I don't think McCain picked his VP on a whim. I think it was very well thought out. She is there to bring the Bible belt in. The average age of marrying is 24. Im' sure many people have no issues with a pregnant 17 year old, provided she isn't aborting the baby.
I'm rambling because it's essentially a Monday & I'm wiped out. This may not make sense.
One thing that I find disgusting is that people are  on these threads about a 17 year old girl who is pregnant & unmarried. There are plenty of people on this board that were unmarried young moms. I can't imagine being 17, pregnant, with a mom who is running for VP. I'm glad she didn't drop out because her daughter was pregnant. I know if I were the daughter, I would never forgive myself that my mom gave up that chance.

Re: Palin..just some of my own personal thoughts...add yours if you'd like...
we want this person to be in charge if anything were to happen to the president?
"...what is it exactly that the VP does every day?"
ETA: i don't care what she does with her personal life because it's just that - PERSONAL. i do however care if she can do her job and if her belief system/record is in line with mine.

But I also find it ironic that on this board and all over, women will say with great pride that if they were not around, they would be afraid to see how their house would look or what their baby would be dressed in because women all over take GREAT pride in their roles as wife and mother. Is it NOT sexist to say that men just can't do the housework and childcare like women? Because you can search these boards and find vents from many of us on here saying those exact things.
There are just as many of us who have husbands who are just as equipped, if not better, with housework and childcare. You just don't realize it because we don't complain about our husbands all the time.
A father can raise his children just as well as a mother, as long as he provides a caring, loving, nurturing environment. Matching clothes, and washing the dishes isn't what it boils down to.
I just find it VERY interesting that this wouldn't even be a question if it were a male candidate with the same family situation.

I think the whole idea that since she's a mother who has a pregnant teen and a baby with down syndrome means she should be at home is sexist b.s.
No, it means she needs to learn about BC. 
must be nice to be perfect
