lol no she isn’t here, but the thought of a person with a 4-month old significantly impaired infant deciding to campaign for a job that will consume her life for years isn’t immune to comment. It is a reflection of character, and there is nothing wrong with actually looking at what you are being offered/told to do.

Change the party tags and imagine how members of this forum would react to Obama’s wife dragging out young’uns during a campaign speech, particularly a newborn with downs syndrome.

The comment are unlikely to be flattering.

I think you’re rather uninformed about Down Syndrome. The best thing the Palin family can do for Trig is take him EVERYWHERE The early stimulation and socialization is excellent. Remember, “The First Dude” is also this child’s parent, and I am sure his wife trusts him when she can’t be there. Plus the idea that all babies with Down Syndrome are severely impaired just isn’t true. My Down Syndrome daughter wasn’t any more of a handful than any other baby.

That’s an amazing argument, really. Splendid.

It’s okay for you to rip into Palin with all misogynous barrels blazing because, according to you, the rest of us would behave like a bunch of creeps too, if it were only Michelle Obama doing this instead.

Amazing.

Dear WoofDog123,

“Change the party tags and imagine how members of this forum would react to Obama’s wife dragging out young’uns during a campaign speech, particularly a newborn with downs syndrome.”

The Obamas, of course, don't have a 4 month-old, but I have seen their two lovely daughters at campaign events. They are 7 and 10 years old, still rather tender ages, especially the younger one.

I haven't seen any criticism of Snob-ama on this account, and don't believe I will see any.

But, of course, he's a... you know - he's a... man. So, no one would ever think to ask or express similar concerns.

There is an aspect of sacrifice to being President or Vice President of the United States, and it is a sacrifice borne by every member of the person's family, whatever the age.

I am glad and grateful that there are men and women willing to make that sacrifice with their families, especially when those men and women are as patriotic, as America-loving as John McCain and Sarah Palin.

She’s running for VP. It’s not like she is running for a real job.

Her primary responsibilities will be picking the right funeral shoes. If she is very lucky, the democrats will lose a few seats and she can go vote in the senate once or twice.

After being Gov, a VP slot will like retirement.

I just hope they can find a few camera ops for her so we can see her on the news from time to time.

I reject the premise of your argument

The democrats would never do that even if they had someone of the stature/ pro life ( which they don't )

I know you probably don't mean to sound crass. Your statement sounded as though the Palin’s should be ashamed and hide their little boy with Downs away as though it is embarrassing.

You are just wrong. He is a darling little child.

Shame on you.

Oh, but Michelle did! And in a much more dramatic fashion than did Sarah. Don't you remember the video screen hookup? There was one heck of a lot more stagecraft involved in that than in the Palin family coming out on stage.

Show me a convention when there family doesn't come out on stage and I'll show you a childless couple. Sorry, your premise is flawed.

I think the Dems are completely wrong here. And I think people who believe in God and Liberty would be more understanding.

I've been told by everyone there is no reason whatsoever to quit your career, and become a recluse when you're caring for a disabled child.

Ever heard of Ernie Els? He has a profoundly autistic child, and yet he still is on the PGA tour.

I have a child with autism, and have sat in the office of developmental pediatricians, pediatric neurologists, geneticists, you name it, and have received the same advice.
