S. P. - You Go Girl!!!

I had never heard of Governor Sarah P until John McCain chose her as his V.P. Once I heard about her and heard that she had a child with special needs, I was immediately interested in learning more about her. The more I learned, the more I liked. We have a few things in common.

We are both a member of the NRA and enjoy shooting guns and we both like doing a wide variety of other "tomboyish" activities, while still being a lady and looking nice.
We both have beautiful families that we love very much and will support them through anything. And we both have a special needs child that we never even gave a second thought of aborting, and doing anything and everything for them and we both feel that our children were a special gift from God and feel blessed that He chose us to care for them.
Now I know that some people don't agree with doing the job she is doing and possibly become the Vice President of the United States since she has young children, especially one with special needs, and instead should be at home taking care of her kids.

While I agree with that to an extent, and think that even though these kids may get the best of care with nannies or therapists, there is still nothing quite like a Mother's love and care.....on the other hand, I can't help but be thrilled to see a woman like this get the nomination. The attention she could bring to special needs children and the way she could advocate for those that need that special care. The way she is a nice looking, classy woman with a family who obviously are close and supportive of one another. The way she handles herself and the things she believes in. The experience she has and the things she has dealt with and the way she has dealt with them. The more I learn about her, the more I like her.

I know her 17 year old daughter is pregnant and unwed and I know that people could say that is partly Sarah P's fault for not being there for her daughter more, but that is not necessarily true. My Mom was a good Mom, but she didn't know half of the stuff I was doing as a teenager and I went through my stage of rebellion where she had no control of me or knew what I was doing. I admire the way the Palin's are handling this situation and I hope for the best for their 17 year old daughter and the 18 year old Father of the baby.

All in all, despite some of the down sides, I still have a lot of admiration for Sarah Palin and I just have to say "You Go Girl"!!!!

Before she was chosen as the Vice President candidate and soon after having her special needs child, Glenn Beck, a news anchor and a Father of a special needs child himself, did this piece on her and I really liked it. Here is the link........
