Palin vs Biden: Who is a better parent?

With all of the talk about Palin's parenting, why hasn't anyone questioned Biden's parenting skills?



Biden stated a week or two ago that he traveled on a train every night to be with his family. Well it is great that he wants to be with his family, however, the fact that he wants to go home every night isn't good for America.



Now, obviously the Palin family has its own problems, as does every American family. However, Biden isn't a better father because he travels home every night. The only reason I am even discussing this is because I am tired of liberals saying that Sarah Palin would make a terrible v.p. because of the problems with her daughter. Well the same is held true for Biden. We can't say he is a terrific father because he wants to see his family. Maybe he wants to see his family, so he can abuse them. Obviously, this probably isn't the case of course.



People say Sarah Palin can't help run the country if she can't run her own house hold. However, how can Biden run a country if he has to rush home every night at 5 p.m. to see his family. We can bring back the 3 a.m phone call. How can Biden help deal with a national emergency if he is at home, hours away from Washington?



I am obviously not attacking Biden, because this would a stupid reason for someone not to be v.p. However, if the media is going to claim Palin would be a terrible v.p. because of her family, then we can say the same about Biden and his family. This is why republicans said families are off limits.

Palin's Personal Problems

Just a few days ago, a story was released that the V.P. nominee's daughter, Bristol, is pregnant.

This story really didn't get all the hype the liberals thought it would. Luckily, the story was behind the coverage of the recent hurricane. I personally think this story is no big deal for three reasons.

The first reason is millions of teens get pregnant every year, and this occurrence just proves the fact that Palin's family is more of an American family than any other presidential candidate or their v.p pick.

The second reason this story wasn't a big deal is because it shouldn't have even been covered to begin with. A few weeks ago Obama came out and said that he doesn't want any personal attacks on family members. He supported this idea because of his wife's comments about America. Well, I personally think this story is an attack on Palin's family.

The third reason this story isn't a big deal is because her daughter is going to have the baby and marry the father. If the daughter was to abort the baby this story would be much bigger. If she aborted the baby it would go against Palin's anti-choice campaign. Palin's daughter knows she made a mistake, and she is going to do the right thing in having the baby and marry the father. She couldn't make this choice anymore conservative.

This story should have never surfaced to begin with, it hasn't hurt McCain's or Palin's rating, and it hasn't helped Obama. All this story did was hurt the self-esteem of Palin's daughter. CNN should have never released this story and make such a big deal about it.
