There is no way to know if Sarah Palin would be a good or a bad vice-president or pre

[RICHARD]

Hmmmm,


I guess the First Dude of Alaska don't count as a parent?

As I stated in another thread. If people are so hot to watch her fail, vote her in. They should put their money where their mouths are. Simple as that.

Instead of conjecture, MAKE IT SO, like Captain Picard would say.

I think that more people are scared that she will succeed.

I've got no kids, man vegetables and she I know she's got bigger bits that I could ever dream of for THINKING about taking a job that serious.

pomtzu - I was agreeing that there would be extra time away from home. Didn't mean to sound like you agreed with this. But just that that kind of schedule would affect ANY White House couple - and no one raises the same concerns about the man in the situation.

For example - if it was Sarah's husband who was running mate, I don't think this thread would even have come up, because 'the wife' would be there to take up the domestic slack. Her husband would have the same potentially crazy schedule - but a lot of these questions would not have come up.

I just wanted to point out the double standard, that's all. I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I'm sorry.

Ginger's Mom - sorry to disagree, but I think Sarah Palin is being singled out because she is FEMALE.

As I posted a minute ago, if the situation was the same and her HUSBAND was running mate, this thread would never have happened.

You didn't - I feel bad for not making myself clear.

Double standard is right - along with caveman mentality - man work, woman raise kids!

Personally, I like the caveman mentality: knock woman over head with club. Drag woman back to cave.

On behalf of every father whom is truly a father and not an egg donor I wholeheartedly disagree with your statements. There are lots of idiot mothers whom are egg donors also.

I have a feeling this was ever so slightly tongue-in-cheek?

Unconscious women are really not very responsive. You need to set your standards a little higher!

Touche'!
Does it apply to men who immediately roll over and go to sleep?

Oh my goodness!!! What is happening here? This discussion is getting very nasty.

Willow Oak: I'm personally glad you've joined this board and glad to see what you do. What you're saying is going to cause flames to erupt. Please calm down.

If flames erupt it won't be my fault. I think a mother with a Down's Syndrome child should stay home with it -- especially if she has the financial means to do so.

I do not apologize for my stance, and I will not back down from it. Just like I don't back down from rescuing animals ... in the face of the criticism I get from people like Larry and others (albeit Larry has changed his tune).

Phooey on!

Rule of thumb?
If you do drag anyone back to a cave, do it by the hair. If you drag them by the ankles they get dirt stuck in all kinds of strange places.
