loracsGrrrrr. Going after the Hillary fans. Damn, do we need Hillary out there stumping hard for Obama; she needs to make clear that voting for a Republican woman is NOT in their best interests. But then when has that stopped people from voting for Republican.
Sarah Palin is the governor from Alaska. She's only 44 and has only been governor for 2 years. She married her high school sweetheart and they have 5 kids, the oldest joined the military last year on SEPT. 11 and will be deployed to Iraq this SEPT. 11. When she was introducing her other children I was waiting for her to say and "and our littlest was born last year on SEPT. 11" I'm sure they were trying to figure out how many more times she could say "SEPT. 11". She's anti-choice (decided to have her last child even though he was born with Downs Syndrome), pro-drilling in Alaska, her husband is a fisherman, she's a life-long NRA supporter and a former Miss Alaska beauty queen runner up.
Chatty Alert: And she does all this in pearls, heels and a dress (no pantsuits for this lady), comes home every night, makes dinner (her favorite meal is moose stew), helps the kids with homework, tucks them in bed, spends the last few hours with her husband before they both turn in for the night. Perfect Mom, Perfect Wife, Perfect Republican, Perfect Running Mate for McCain. Perfect person to be a vice president - I don't think so.
Grrrrrrrrrr

Because, you know, it's so unthinkable that someone who believed in choice could *choose* that child. Isn't that a lovely message for him -- or any other American with Down's Syndrome -- to grow up with? "We decided you deserved to live *in spite of* who you are." Well, screw them too, then.

With our son we did the pre-natal testing knowing we would not abort in the case of Down's, but we wanted to be prepared if that was the case. That does not, in any way, make us anti-choice.
