DR. LAURA BAILS ON IMPULSE BUY PALIN

The social conservatives, like Mullah Dobson, are usually so pro-family that they really don't like a mother working outside the home but we haven't heard to much from any of these gasbags until now. This is another case of a conservative narrative backfiring on the GOP.

Sarah Palin and Motherhood

I am extremely disappointed in the choice of Sarah Palin as the Vice Presidential candidate of the Republican Party. ... I’m stunned - couldn’t the Republican Party find one competent female with adult children to run for Vice President with McCain? I realize his advisors probably didn’t want a “mature” woman, as the Democrats keep harping on his age. But really, what kind of role model is a woman whose fifth child was recently born with a serious issue, Down Syndrome, and then goes back to the job of Governor within days of the birth?


Any full-time working wife and mother knows that the family takes the short end of the stick. Marriages and the welfare of children suffer when a stressed-out mother doesn’t have time to be a woman, a wife, and a hands-on Mommy.
