I don’t support Palin for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with her politics or leadership ability.
I don’t support her because of what is either naivete, or just lack of judgment.
As a mother, it bothers me, reallly bother me, that she accepted the nomination knowing that her daughter was pregnant and that eventually the whole thing would come to light and the girl would be raked through the coals of the MSM.
One of three reasons: She didn’t believe it would be a big deal...in that case she’s naive. She did it thinking they could handle the pressure, but she didn’t get out in front of it, and instead it was “leaked” and the whole thing blew up in their face...in that case she showed poor judgement. Or the third possibility, and this one bothers me the most, she didn’t care that her family would be put under the microscope and exploited by the MSM but went for the position because she’s a politician, and that’s how most politicians behave, my career before my family.
Flame away, that’s just how I feel!
I suppose that if Sarah Palin had made the same decisions as a MAN that you would be supporting HIM.
heard it. now shut up and go away. you’re boring me.
Very good post and poignant points.
I thank you for giving reasons for you opinion. Regarding why did she accept the nomination knowing of her daughter’s pregnancy. I’ll answer that by paraphrasing Rush Limbaugh. Sarah accepted the nomination with her daughter’s pregnancy because she has class. Can you imagine the guilt Bristol would bare knowing that her careless actions may have prevented her mother a chance to become President? Refusing the nod would have been damaging to Bristol.
17 year old girls get pregnant everyday. It should never have been a big deal. Thats just rational thinking, not naive..
