Sarah Palin posed the question in her acceptance speech, “What is the difference between a pit-bull and a hockey mom?” Then she pointed to her mouth and said, “lipstick”. So Sarah Palin thinks that is the only difference.
There is another big difference, a pit-bull mother will protect her litter. God help the person who tries to lay a hand on her puppies, the unfortunate person will withdraw a bloody stump! Not so with Sarah Palin! She is willing to sacrifice the happiness and safety of her children for her country. In Palin’s world, Country First, children are much further down the ladder. Apparently Sarah Palin disagrees with President Bush and believes some children should be left behind.
Her daughter’s future and happiness is at stake.
No one knows much about the engagement of her minor daughter and and her boyfriend, an 18 year old. We don’t know if he was convinced or if he stepped up to the plate. I do know that most mothers I have spoken to, don’t believe marriage is the answer to an unwed pregnancy. 50% of marriages end in divorce, I am sure the percentage goes up if you factor in teens, unwed pregnancy, lack of college education, and let’s throw this in, Bristol Palin’s life, the birth of her child and her marriage is going to be splashed across the media. Preach all you want about children being off limits, the fact is, her young life and all it entails is everyday conversation.
Her son’s safety is at stake.
Sarah Palin proudly announces the fact that her son is heading into the Army and the date he is leaving, (Sept 11th ,orchestrated?) for Iraq. How will this soldier be protected? Surely, as the son of the VP nominee of the U.S. Republican party, there will be a price on this soldier’s head. Why are putting his life and the lives of those in his platoon in even greater danger? Oh, I forgot, Country First.
Her special needs baby is at stake.
I have interviewed many parents regarding their special needs children. Not one parent I talked to ever talked about how to incorporate MORE work into their lives. They all spoke about constructing a career which would be more conducive to their child’s special needs. During her acceptance speech, that poor baby was passed down the aisle like cracker jacks at a Dodgers game! If her husband was stepping up to the plate, like everyone in the Palin camp says he is, why didn’t he hold his child for 30 minutes? A Down’s Syndrome baby can by hyper sensitive to noise and strangers; why are you allowing everyone, including a small child, to hold him? Photo op? Or maybe they are getting this baby used to all the different arms that he will be passed on while his mommy is putting Country First.
Would we be bringing all this up if Sarah Palin was a man? I would! The type of parent a person is reflects his or her character! I believe Sarah Palin is sacrificing her children’s safety, comforts and needs behind her own desire to be the VP.
So Sarah Palin, the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull may be lipstick, but the difference between you and a pit bull is that a pit bull even raised in the wild, would respond to her mother’s instinct and protect her puppies. You, on the other hand, with all your education and experience, are willing to allow them to be exposed to unsafe situations.
