Thread: Moms and public office!

As I stated before "They should ditch McCain and run Palin."

Hillary is a mom too......hmmmm.

There have been many moms that were heads of government/state. I don't think it makes one any more uniquely qualified to hold public office than being a father, a teacher, or a plumber. I guess it would also depend on if the person is a "good mom" and that is usually indicated by the behavior of the kids.

What is missing from politics, from both parties is integrity, ethics, and tolerance. They seem to forget that if they win, they are the leader of everyone in the nation, not just those who voted for them or gave them money. They are there to support and defend the Constitution, not treat it as a list of suggestions.

Instead, we have hypocrisy, double-standards, self-righteousness and demagoguery, avoidance of issues, and the continuation of politics based on fear, uncertainty, and doubt...not with the ultimate goal of bettering the nation, but with the goal of personal gain, vanity, and self-aggrandizement.

Where are the intelligent, factual discussion about the economy, energy, taxes, the war and the deaths of our soldiers, education?

For the past several elections, it has been like two punk kids in the school yard, each saying to the other "Nya-nya-nya-nya-boo-boo!", making faces and sticking out their tongues.

Where is Cincinnatus when you need him?

Except the part I highlighted I can not find argument with your post!

You should ask your mother what she went through to raise your family!
