I watched the debates with 10 friends last night. We watched pre and post. It’s was clear to all of us that Biden is the better candidate–he’s more grounded, far more experienced, and frankly, if I’m going to drink a beer, he would be my personal choice to schmooze with. I’m not Joe 6 Pack–I’m a Mom, Gramma, Aunt, Sister, Daughter, former Soccer Mom …. and just about every other type of Mom we can put a label on.
I’m sick of the “folksy” movement. I’ve had it up to my eyeballs with Bush and company. Palin is no better. She’s even scarier, because she’s more like Dick Cheney, but with a skirt.
Sure, she looks great. But looking great isn’t what this election, or any election, should be about. There’s a knock out number in the play and movie Chorus Line—Tits and Ass … a bought me a pair…. Sarah Palin is the Tits and Ass candidate.
But there’s something else that concerns, even alarms me.
All have tauted Sarah Palin as the hockey Mom, the Mom of 5, the Mom of a special needs child, as one of us. She is not.
If she was this caring Mom, she wouldn’t be doing what she’s doing. She wouldn’t be dragging a 5 month old around the country; parading him in bright lights and noisy crowds.
Cognitively, any baby needs sleep–lots of it. This kid is a special needs child. A child who needs the comfort of home, not campaigns; the comfort of someone who is a primary care-giver, not a campaigner; the quiet; not the ruckusnoise of crowds; and safety– lots of it.
As one Mom to another …. shame on you–this baby has no business on any campaign trail. You are sabotaging your child.
