Let's Discuss
Originally this blog was where my friends and I discussed fun questions, but now that I've run out of great questions, and there are people that want to know what's going on in our lives, I will be doing normal family post stuff. I will still have fun questions every now and then though.

Makes a difference to me because of the beliefs she has...not because she is a woman. I LOVE her and I am SO excited to have her be in the white house!
My 2 cents!
Not so sure. I think she has some great qualities and she is well liked, but the distict disadvantage she has is experience. I say this because everyone was saying that Obama's downfall was his lack of experience, and when it comes to experience Palin has even less (of course she is running for VP not president.) I usually lean towards voting republican so she probably has my vote. She does seem like a nice lady, and hey her youngest is the same age as my baby:)
I think it's all for the votes. I don't think it was any coinsidence that as soon as Hilary lost the nomination the Replublicans tried to get that "women vote" on their side.
I think there is a time and lace for things in ones life. I think that if her kids were all teenager's i might like her. Right now, I hate her. I think she should be at home raising her !!DOWN SYNDROME!! infant. Not abandon him by being out of the country for weeks at a time (assuming the win the white house). Just my opinion, I'm very pro-stay-at-home-mommy. Not saying I like the other side better. Just saying i reaaaaallly don't like her decision to run.
I think it's vote pandering. I hope people remember that we're voting for Pres. not VP. Although because of McCain's age she could become VP...
Correction, she could become Pres. not VP. P.S. Her family is her business, no one cared that Kennedy had young children in office so it shouldn't matter here.
I'm also feeling a little weird about her having a baby and running for Vice President in the same year. I can hardly have a baby and do laundry in the same year. And it's different from Kennedy and his kids since she's the mother here. I feel like a mom at home makes a big difference in kid's lives.
I don't know who I'm voting for. But seeing how I live in UTAH... I think we know who will be winning our state. I'm kind of thinking either way, we're screwed. Let's just start preparing for the second coming. It can't be too far off.
Speaking of, I'm starting my food storage, and while it may not yet be "sexy," it's bordering on cute. :)
I think there are people out there that are going to be busy and do everything no matter what sphere of life they are in. I think Sarah Palin is one of those people. If she was going to be a governor with five children then there is no reason why she can't be a vp. Either way she was going to be a very busy mom. I do think the decision to make her the vp was vote pandering, but I also think it was brilliant. I think women can have leadership positions and we are all so capable of so much. I don't necessarily think when we are raising our children is the best time for it all, but there are so many women that are relief society presidents, work in primary and have other duties that take up a TON of time, and they are all worth while because they help so many people.
There have also been women in some of the General Auxillary presidencies of the church with children still at home and also wives of mission presidents and such, all of which are so demanding, and they still did it. I think it would be wonderful to have a woman in such a high position because women are capable of so much. There are still people who think all women do is gossip and can't lead without being a you-know-what, so I think it would be wonderful for girls to have a compitent, confidant, female in such a powerful position. Also, I do think the most important role model a child will ever have is their mother. And we don't need to go outside the home to prove anything to our children. So you can see why I am a little conflicted over it all. I'm so excited, but I too wonder if she should take the risk of possibly sacrificing the needs of her family to do it.
okay, you are so overdue for a new post!!!
