Paging All Complementarians - Hello is anyone out there? Hello...

Supposedly all Conservative Evangelicals are ecstatic over the addition of Palin to the McCain ticket. I don't buy it. I think that the "leaders" of Conservative Evangelicals were looking for anything that would give them an excuse to run arms wide open back to the GOP after they got to air their grievances about the not-so Conservative McCain. These leaders have chosen party politics over what should be one of their most significant issues: the family.

Check out Cindy McCain's egalitarian response to a question on "the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" about Palin's ability to be both mom and veep:

NewsHour with Jim Lehrer:
“As a mother who has raised four children yourself, do you think it’s appropriate for questions to be asked about how she’s going to manage the vice presidency, potentially the presidency in an unforeseen circumstance, while she has a large number of children, five children, an infant with special needs and a daughter who is pregnant?”

Cindy McCain’s response:
“These questions would not be being asked if she were a man, and quite frankly I’m insulted by it. I’m insulted by anyone that would assume that just because a woman has children she can’t do her job. She not only can do her job, but she brings with her a different kind of perspective. A mother with a special needs infant – that absolutely brings a different perspective to this whole discussion about human rights and the rights of others who are less fortunate. She also brings with us, you know a mother of a large family who has done all that she has done and has done it really well, myself being a mother of a lot of kids, running a business, working with my husband, doing the non-profit charity stuff, all women know that we can do it, we can do it really well and the more you give us the better we are.”
