I subscribe to an email list from Paul McFedries, WordSpy, which lists words that are coming into common usage. Here's today's word: Wasn't one of the early raps against Sarah Palin by the oh-so-tolerant Left that she would not be able to carry out her duties as Veep because she had a husband and children? Is it only liberal women who are able to juggle family and career? |

Moms are moms despite political party, and kids need them! Many parents put careers and themselves before their children even when they can afford to stay home. I understand that for some parents staying home would be a financial detriment, and I don't judge that, but there are many others that feel their precious time would be better served nurturing themselves instead of their children, and that's when I judge!
I am not going to post facts from another site to back my opinions either regarding this topic (although I could), I base them in this case on how I see it, and feel!

So then are you implying that Governor Palin has not been a nurturing and loving mother to her children while she has pursued her political aspirations? |

I am not implying anything other than what I'd posted. I am expressing how I feel about working mothers/parents and how some don't seem to value the idea of staying home for at least the first few months of a baby's life. I personally feel that for some, their priorities are not in the right order.
I am not being specific to Palin.

Well since Gaffney had noted, specifically, the hypocrisy relative to Palin in the OP I simply had the leap of logic that you were following his point and the thread.
But that is why I asked, rather than assumed.

Isn't it the latest, out of well-known Republicans saying palin should bow out of the race? One in particular has said, more or less, "she or palin , is out of her league"? Did Dems see this first?
As for working moms with a career, if she can handle both kids (first), career (second), by all means, do it!! When the challenge questions priority?........kids come first!

Did Dems see this first? References, please. Would you also give equal weight to those in the Democrat Party who claim that Obama was the bad choice, that you should have gone with Hillary? Or, are you cherry-picking your cites for maximum effect? |

Bolverk, I'm not sure I understand your response correctly. I am assuming you want to me to post from other sites to validate my feelings? If so, I have two letters in response:
NO!
If you mean something else please clarify...

O.K., how about a little phrase popular with NOW: A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
Are you getting the point yet?

Diverging a bit from the subject of the blatant liberal hypocrisy over Gov. Sarah Palin's motherhood, here's a tidbit about Obama's own hypocrisy: |
