Jennifer,
You make me sick. Really barfy – the especially green bile – sick.
“Women” like you have no idea what it takes for a woman to succeed to the degree Sarah Palin has succeeded. She did it on her own steam, not on her husband’s coat tails and is not the daughter or wife of a millionaire. A crook did not help her buy her home. She’s not best friends with an unrepentant terrorist who thinks the death of policemen and the destruction of the Pentagon was “not doing enough”.
Nope her sin in your eyes is that she is not a good mother so you won’t vote for her. She has a grown son who serves his country in the army and a daughter who didn’t runaway and hide and lie to her parents and get some hidden abortion. Nope, the kid made a mistake, but the way I judge character is not the nature of the mistake but the response to it. We all make mistakes, what separates us is how we own up to them. It’s called accountability. So far her grown children seem more than able to stand up under that character test which says more than a little bit about the quality of mother Palin is.
Now I’m not calling you a liar about your ‘special needs’ child. You simply don’t sound authentic compared to the women that I know who have special needs children. But of course I know career women who have something besides dust and space between their ears.
And it frankly doesn’t bother me whether you’re even really a woman or not. what bothers me is the sexist nature of your attack. You think a man can have a job but not a woman? Or do you just hold that anyone with a special needs child should go on the government dole because no parent should work and be productive? Because I can promise you that you would not dare say a word about it if the candidate’s name was Sam instead of Sarah. Bigot.
And that turns my stomach.
