Is Sarah Palin and the McCain campaign "pimping" her children and disabled baby?

Question

Those kids on the stage. Repeated mention of the Down Syndrome child. Announcing that their oldest son will deploy to Iraq on September 11, 2008. Let's hear from some of the Obama-using-his-children critics?

Answer 1

So Ubama wasn't doing the same thing? you're despicable

Answer 2

I never accused Obama of pimping his children.  His close family is cute and sweet.  

I like that they are showing her as a real woman...a mother...with family to balance.  Not a woman acting like a man, acting like her family doesn't exist.  

I think she was introducing herself to America - we don't really know her.  And the baby with Down Syndrome is less than 6 months old...so that is her life right now.

And I think mentioning her son going to fight in the war is a proud mother.  And lets us know that she has a personal stake in the soldiers fighting overseas.  She not going to be "pro-war regardless of the consequences" like some people might think...simply because she's a Republican.

Answer 3

She's just been chosen and you anti American democrats are already attacking her.

Apparently you still haven''t heard about the American way which means fairness.

For some reason or other, could  be experience, some people always compare everything to pimping.

Oh  well I guess it' depenbds on how and where you were raised.

Answer 4

Hmmmm No! McCain hasn't "pimped" his adopted child from Mother Teresa'a orphanage or his son that got back from Iraq or his son in Annapolis. Keep fishing!

Answer 5

lol idk but did you hear what she named her children? Bristle, Willow, Piper, and Trig... lol seriously?

Answer 6

YES MCCAIN JUST PIMP PALIN CHILDRENS (1) let's get serious this show the lack of judgment on McCain part.(2)Palin is no Hillary Clinton she only been a Governor for 2 years and we are talking about Alaska where the wild life out number the peoples 20 to 1.(3) i would not feel comfortable having Palin running this country in a case where something happening to McCain .3) Palin is under a ethic investigation .4) We know that Biden is ready to lead on day one if something ever happen to Obama. I personally think McCain just handed the presidency to OBAMA.

Answer 7

I don't think either of them are using their children. Why can't they say her son is going to Iraq? Obama uses race, do what is the difference? At least you have a candidate whose family is serving.

And I don't remember hearing a whole lot of people talking about Obama using his children, I think this is your personal rant against disabled kids.

Answer 8

We don't need a leader. Americans are like sheep always relying on someone to tell us what to do. Stand up for your self on November 08 don't vote and say no to a new leader and rule your own life.  

Answer 9

No more than the Dems pimped Chelsea and now Obama joe Biden's children*.  And don't forget,  Biden pimped his son's deployment to Iraq during the convention the other night.

* No smart person would believe that the Obama children were hoping that the surprise Michelle had for them on Monday night was the Jonas Brothers.

Answer 10

It is all, Dems and Republicans, platform to involve the kids in a wonderful moment. Family is very important!

Answer 11

Let's not talk about peoples children. You know nothing about them. I don't Obama would appreciate such disgusting remarks.

Answer 12

well obama did use his children. They came out on stage. And Bidens son was mentioned as deploying too. Touche  

Answer 13

....John Edwards

both sides do it

Answer 14

No, just filling America in on her family and their accomplishments, Obama can't do that! I sense a little jealousy here!

Answer 15

Beau Biden will be deployed to Iraq as well but you didnt see Biden screaming that to the people. I feel that peoples personal lives should be their personal lives and shouldnt let all of the laundry out to air in the publics eye. GO OBAMA AND BIDEN
