What the hell does "mother of five" mean
as far as qualifications for Veep?
Hell, I'm a mother of four, I guess I should be governor at least.
No?

Maybe a cabinet post then......?

5. Heck, if that is a qualification, then every President we've ever had is
unqualified. They aren't mothers of anything.

7. They are fertile and have sex without birth control?
If you'll notice, a bunch of RW religious nut-cases reproduce like crazy. I'd guess it's a long-term plan for the takeover of the US government to make it a "Christian" theocracy. :tinfoilhat: ?

All of the right-wingers are saying it like it's a qualification.
And SHE HUNTS.

And SHE EATS MOOSEBURGERS.
And the talking heads let them get away with it!!!!!!!!

27. The only thing, and I mean the only thing...
about this repub vp choice that makes me the least bit jealous is how she got her figure back after dropping five kids in a row. Other than than that, she's a complete nightmare, but on the plus side for us, she is gonna be the gift that keeps on giving, a real dream candidate for us.

34. My mom was a mother of five
And she never rose above recording secretary of Sacred Heart parish's San Juan Society.

And that was only because she was the only one who took shorthand.
