I have a huge problem with here running for higher office with a Kid with Down's syndrome.That baby is 6 months old and needs parents close by as much as possible.I would apply the same rule to either parent for the first three years of life. If I had a special needs kids... I would reprioritize my life to accomodate that child. and the needs of my spouse. I would find a job where I could work from home or have a short commute.Like Michelle Obama saud Nothing should be more central to your life than raising your kids.I absolutely applaud Sara Palin's decision to have this child. I cant imagine the heartbreak and the coming challenges the Palins face. But I am astounded that she would devalue the importance of "Being there" for her child for a job that would reuire so much of her attention and so much more should McCain not be able to complete his term.How can a party who espouse family values even aske her to serve? Haw can a mom do this to her family?
Should we remind the inmates over at Delusional Underground of Chelsea Clinton? Everyone was told she was off limits and this is different how?
Chelsea is a Democrat.
It doesn't take much of a stretch of the imagination to picture the liberals showering a democrat in the same position with thanks and praise, for making the "hard sacrifice for America." A special needs child would be a small price to pay for socialized medicine.

Also I really doubt that either the state of Alaska or the Federal Government isn't going to provide her with all she would need to take care of any member of her family and then there is their private insurance. I think that after 5 kids she has the mom thing down pretty well by now.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
