To tell you the truth, we were surprised at McCain’s reaction. We had counted on him as a sure supporter.

Yes, I would have thought so too. Especially now, given his initial support for the Iraq war, one (lesser but still obvious) reason for which was the liberation of the Iraqi people.

Infants with Down Syndrome have compromised immune systems. They catch infections very easily, especially respiratory infections which can kill them. Exposing that baby to thousands of howling politicos so she can look like the evangelicals’ idea of a good mother was abominable behavior. Clearly, her ego and lust for power has out weighed whatever maternal instincts she might have toward that baby. That the “First Dude” (God help us!) stood by as a partner in endangering that little fellow doesn’t help matters any.

I fail to see how you could know anything about her "lust" for power, you don't know the woman. She didn't run, she was chosen. And, if the pediatrician said it was unsafe to bring Trig to the convention then I'm sure he wouldn't have been there. You don't have to like Palin, but she didn't get where she is by being stupid. If it was plainly wrong to bring him, the liberals would have leaped on that immediately. I have heard nothing about it. If you had evidence that the Palin doctor advised against bringing Trig to St. Paul, that would be one thing. Otherwise, you accuse her of not following YOUR medical advice in place of her own doctor's.

Given that Kolo has a 20-year old with Downs' syndrome, maybe it is not his medical advice but what he was given by his doctor. And, given that he has managed to take care of him until now, makes him a lot more experienced than Sarah Palin. Or does experience count only when it is hers?
