Following the Unexpected Dream

Published by Pat Mullaly at 1:37 pm under Current News

Your name is Sarah Palin and you just woke up from a wild dream. You have been picked as the 2008 Republican nominee for Vice President. You’ve got 5 kids, one only 4 months old that you are nursing and the oldest – a private in the US Army is heading for Iraq next month. You are about to live on a bus and in hotel rooms you will never remember for the next 60 days. You are about to enter national media hell… and you just woke up. Only you are not dreaming. This is real.

Some would call you lucky, some unfortunate, some blessed, some would call you cursed. After 44 years on earth, this is where you are. You joined the PTA back in your hometown in Alaska because you wanted to make changes in the school system. Who knew where it would all lead thirteen years later.

Midlife does have it’s surprises.

    Aside from questioning John McCain’s judgment with this VP pick, I question Sarah Palin’s judgment for saying yes. Did she really think through what this will mean to her family as one would expect from someone who emphasizes family values? If McCain win the election, her family will be pulled up by its roots in Alaska and plopped down in the hotbed of American politics. Talk about a radical change in lifestyle!

    The family support system that could help the family cope with having a new baby with a disability will be thousands of miles away. And now we learn that she will also be leaving behind a teenage daughter with a baby; wouldn’t this daughter be better off having her parents at hand to help her cope with the strains this is sure to put on her young life?

    I’m sure it was flattering to be asked to run with John McCain but I think Palin’s answer should have been “Thanks, but no thanks. This is not the right thing for my family at this time.”

    This whole issue is totally puzzling. Appreciate and agree with your insites.

  6. Kathy Leydon-Conwayon 12 Sep 2008 at 4:20 pm

    The more I see of her, the scarier she gets. She seems more and more like George W in lipstick…her self confidence teems with a know-all-the-right-answers attitude; she has his good vs. evil/ black vs. white mindset; her decision making is like his, from the hip(ie. her quick decision to join the ticket); and that's not even starting on her evangelical beliefs and thinking that "victory" is possible in Iraq.

Its as if you had a good grasap on the topic matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from far more than 1 angle. Or maybe you shouldnt generalise so much. Its better if you think about what others may have to say instead of just going for a gut reaction to the topic. Think about adjusting your personal thought process and giving others who may read this the benefit of the doubt.
