Democrats weren't "stupid enough to let the kid shill for the Dems," the Democrats used the kid as a human shield for just this purposeSmall correction to your correction....I said that the parents were stupid enough to do it. At the time, the Dems likely thought it a good move....hope that it blows up on them.
I wouldn't let a pol get anywhere near my kid. Even if I agreed with them! lol!
I agree on your correction, but if not these parents then the Democrats would have found another set. It was clearly their plan to hide behind a child (using Ann Coulter's "doctrine of infallibility") when President Bush vetoed the bill.
