Gov. Palin's Child with Down's Syndrome?

Question

Is anyone else impressed that she optioned to raise a handicapped child in a loving family environment? Politically, I haven't made up my mind on her. Personally, the woman is a strong and independent person.

So why are some (supposed) Democrats (more likely just slime from the Looney Left) posting such hateful rumors concerning her children?

See, I can post a blog that appears as a question too, slimeballs......

Answer 1

That's what the looney left does. They are all for acceptance, unless you disagree w/ them even on just 1 little tiny issue.  

Answer 2

what I am impressed with are the 100's of thousands of families in this world who raise their children with down syndrome...period....because parents like me have to be advocates in this society for our children. so much ignorance and fear about something that most people know nothing about....

Answer 3

Of course.  She's a good hearted person!  She's also a very good leader and is building a very impressive political career.

Those dems are just scared.  Obama never got a bump in the polls, look at McCain gradually going up.  They're scared and will do anything to get those polls in their favor.

Answer 4

Because they are misogynist creeps.

Answer 5

Yes----she is a rare gem---we are sure lucky---I think she is wonderful---and these smears are really disgusting.

McCain/Palin '08

Answer 6

I am also impressed by Palin. The liberals hate this innocent infant because Palin's choice to keep her baby instead of killing it will be a shining example to women in the same situation. Abortion is not the answer.

EVEN if there was any truth to the rumors (I do not believe them) it is far better to keep the baby then dispose of it. By the way liberals, my stomach was totally flat until my 7th month and did not really show big until the end of my 8th month.

It takes the lowest of lowly to attack a baby.

Answer 7

I'm impressed with her on several levels.

As far as the morons that believe a pregnant woman has to get fat sorry. I see a doctor every month and didn't notice she was pregnant until her belly button popped. She was skinny as could be but you couldn't see anything,

And I don't know many women that want to go to an ER doc in a strange State to give birth, especially if it's a high risk delivery.

Answer 8

They didn't get the message from Obama ---kids off limits--but they are attacking a 4 month baby, they pay no heed to their own hero,, so they make me think that Obama is just like them...

Walt,, just because your water breaks doesn't mean you are in labor...I am sure Mrs Palin consulted her Dr. and this is her 5th child, I'm sure she has more experience with her own childbirth than you do.

Walt-- are you saying that someone approached the children that know palin's daughter and they asked them that? I would like that link and name please...

Answer 9

well, it seems strange to me that if you're an over 40 woman and your water breaks a month early, that instead of going to a hospital in Texas you instead give a political speech and then take an 8 hour flight (while in labor) to Anchorage, AK and THEN take an hour car ride to a tiny hospital in Wasilla, AK to give birth.

It also seems strange that she never looked pregnant until she announced, a month prior to giving birth, that she was 7 months pregnant.

It also seems strange that her 16-year old daughter missed 5 months of school, supposedly because of "mono", that she looked pregnant in several family photos, and that some of her classmates said they saw her looking pregnant.

Plus a variety of other suspicious things about the supposed pregnancy...do a google news search on Palin and pregnancy and weigh the evidence for yourself.

Answer 10

The sheer ignorance of these people is exceeded only by their stupidity. That and the fact that they are cowards who hide behind a cloak of anonymity on YAHOO.

They wouldn't dare say such things to Mrs. Palin's face.

And I'm not letting the Republicans off the hook on this one either. Right or Left there are people out there who shame their respective Parties and Leaders with their snide innuendo and outright lies. Their leaders probably want to crawl under a rock when they hear some of the things that are being done in their name.

It would be truly refreshing to wake up one morning and hear nothing on the media except a true representation of the facts and issues of this campaign. I am sure that the rest of the voters would wish it too.

Answer 11

I can't imagine what she and her husband went through when they found out their new baby had Down's.  You know it has to be heartbreaking at first, and they have to go through a period of mourning the healthy and normal child they had hoped to have.  

I'm impressed beyond measure that she stood firm on her beliefs and chose life for the baby that society would consider less-than-perfect.  

EDIT:  Walt Disney - She announced that she was pregnant before the baby was born.  The baby was a month premature.  It's very possible to get to the end of a pregnancy without anyone around you noticing - my mother gained so little weight with my youngest brother that when we showed up at church the Sunday after his birth, people were asking my parents if they had adopted him.  And I was 7 months before I started to show at all, because I was sick for 4 months and lost a lot of weight.

The pictures of Bristol prove nothing.  Three pictures have been posted repeatedly as "proof" that she was pregnant.  BUT... one picture was taken at the governor's 2006 inauguration.  One picture was taken in 2007, BEFORE Trig was conceived.  Only one picture was taken in early 2008.  But we can already see from Bristol's earlier photos that she has a bit of a weight problem.  Too much soda and not enough exercise, and pictures showing for more than a year that she had a bit of a weight problem.

Also, she wasn't out of school for 5 months.   She got mono in March and was out of school for only a few weeks.

The Daily Kos posted an article on Friday that debunked the whole "Trig is Bristol's baby" story.  Maybe you should look for it.

Answer 12

Yes, I am impressed by that. Someone said that she has no foreign policy experience and that was followed with the fact that keeping the peace between five kids gives you all kinds of experience.

Obama said that she has no governmental expertise. She is the Governor of Alaska, which is a entire country in it's self. I'll bet she could out shoot that idiot too    

Answer 13

If they win, will she really be raising the child?

Answer 14

She is so squeaky clean, that the worst she has ever done is have a baby with DOwns.
