  this woman has too many kids to be VP

  Honestly, now-- this woman simply needs to withdraw her nomination for VP. She has too many private responsibilities to be VP, and it's just WRONG to do to your family what she is doing to hers.

  I have three kids-- one teenager and two smallish ones (4 and 5)... I can tell you that when I had a 4-month-old baby who was entirely normal and had no special needs whatsoever, I barely had time to brush my teeth and I certainly could not think straight. And I didn't have a teenager at the time-- he was a sweet-natured 10-year-old who was not yet thinking about sex, drugs and whatnot.

  So it is a mystery to me, how Sarah Palin thinks she can take a break from her special-needs 4-month-old baby and her 17 year old who as she mentions desperately needs the support and care of her family, and go run all over the country to get elected VP...

  Is this a moral choice??? Is this a choice we'd hope our mothers make for their families? To put our private issues on display like this, neglect the children, all for the sake of a political job?

  See, that's the thing about Evangelicals. THey claim the moral high ground but when you really look at it, their behavior is frequently just desperately nastily immoral. No mother I know would do this to her family. Palin, apparently, didn't think twice.
