Seriously??

Letter to the editor from the Houston Chronicle: Sept. 3, 2008

With the announcement that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, how can Sarah Palin possibly think that she can continue her run for the Republican vice presidency? The GOP players have been quick to praise her family values, but I question the values of any woman who would leave a special needs infant and her pregnant teenage daughter to gallivant around the nation in a frantic round-the-clock campaign for the vice presidency.

Palin's family is in crisis and, at the risk of sounding like some moldy leftover from the 1950s, her place is at home right now tending to her 5 children. Women can have it all. They just can't have it at the same time.

Seriously?

I will only say 2 things:
  1. What if it were a man in this situation?
  2. Who is she to say what another person should do?

Wow! I had not read that. I think Palin is a great choice and will be really in touch with true America. Give me a break! When men in politics have trouble at home no one talks about them needing to be home more.
