I said apparently - I live in the UK - so is it not true that she takes them around on her engagements?

I agree with you, kids should be off limits, although apparently she does carry hers around on public engagements.

So it’s not OK to pick on them except when you’re insinuating that she’s using them as props–you, sir, are an idiot.

As for the Family Man clip, you’ve misread it - it shows a Down’s person in a positive light and is just a bit of satire on Palin, not disability.

The “Family Guy” thing, like many of the personal attacks that have been leveled at the Palins, is WAY beyond mean-spirited.

That “progressives” condone this sort of thing is one reason I and many others cannot respect you.

‘More than half the nation - 55% - see Sarah Palin unfavorably, and 71% believe the “Going Rogue” author is not qualified to be President, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll Thursday.’

About the only policy discernible from her tea party personal fund raising ’speech’ was a call for divine intervention, and may God help you David:

‘The lady from Alaska is a phony. She has sold out for money, quitting office so that she could cash in. She asserted her small-town bona fides, her antipathy both to the establishment and the mainstream media — and then got herself a ghostwriter, a booking agent and a (Fox News) network contract. She is rich, famous for the metaphorical 15 minutes Andy Warhol allotted us all and, elbows swinging, is forging her way to oblivion.’

One day you may be able to laugh at this but not before we’ve all had a good laugh at you first!
