Sarah Palin: Wrong Choice

At first, I too, like many other conservatives was caught up in the hype and euphoria of John McCain’s choice of running mate. But now after the initial shock and excitement has worn off, I think Sarah Palin is the wrong choice for VP on the Republican ticket.

Why do I say this?  First she is the mother of five children. Her fifth child, a five-month-old infant, was recently born with Down’s syndrome. This baby seriously needs his mother more than our country needs her to be VP.

I knew I should of gone with my gut feelings when I first heard the announcement about Palin. But the thing that set off that little voice inside me was that after her latest son was born, she went back to work as Governor. Not six months, nor three months latter. Not even two weeks later but within a few days of giving birth.

Now it’s come out that her 17-year-old daughter is five months pregnant.

Sarah Palin’s children need their mother. More so than John McCain and the Republican party.

Dr. Laura sums this up pretty well on her blog.

I firmly believe, that a woman’s primary and most important role is being a mother to her children. And in Sarah Palin’s case, her children need her now more than ever. They should be her priority.
