I had to go back to look in the Palin thread. i see many who stated Palin's kids were not off limits because she thrust them into the lime light. interesting how many now change their minds.

As i posted on that thread, and will do so again... children are not fair game, in my opinion. DomKen, the Palin thread is still up, im sure if you wish you could find the info there.

mike, calling an 11 year old a whore... isnt a personal attack?
making fun of a down syndrome baby... isnt personal against the child?

no matter how you dress it up, we tend to become vicious when its politics. passionate,, yes,,, and we often attack in the throes of that passion. but, these are kids. at 18, i wouldnt expect any kid (unless its someone like Chelsea who grew up in that huge light) to know what they are getting into.

Attack the politicians... on their issues. but name calling, slamming, belittling and even condoning such behavior by saying "well, Mom/Dad threw them out in that light, they are fair game" is a really bad excuse to do what you want to do and not have to take responsibility for it.

Conservatives don't do what they do for purely political reasons, to manipulate people to their advantage, like the average liberal politician does. No, they actually give people a little credit for having the intelligence to see through that kind of obvious pandering.

Mrs. Palin simply introduced her children and husband to America, because she loves them and she is proud of them. It had no political connotations whatsoever, other than to perhaps publicly re-affirm her family values and pro-life convictions.

For those who insinuate that Sarah Palin "used" her children to political advantage, I would urge you not to look at conservatives through the same manipulative, purely political lens that typifies your side of the aisle.

Would you have preferred her to hide her children away and never mention them or allow them to be seen?

If she had done that, no doubt liberals would have attempted to vilify her for that, and claimed that she was trying to hide something.

Conservatives will be attacked and vilified by the left no matter what they do or say, and there is always some liberal somewhere who will find something sinister in whatever a conservative does or says, and try to crucify them for it. In this case, however, liberals pulled out all the stops and went after a vice presidential nominees' children, in order to try and harm her politically. Amazingly, they're still doing it, as evidenced by this thread and some of the other threads on here. What empty lives some people apparently have.

Liberals would've attempted to use the issue of Sarah's children against her no matter whether she introduced them to America or not. Sarah had nothing to hide and was proud to introduce her family to her supporters. Whether she intended it or not, it's very likely that Trig served as a reminder to the pro-death crowd that all life is precious, and no doubt it made many of them feel guilty for previous abortions they had participated in, to say nothing of the fact that her daughter Bristol also chose life for her baby. But as it pertained to the Republican base, this was a wonderful affirmation of all we hold dear.

Such is the state of left-wing politics in America today - destroy your enemies at all costs, no matter who gets hurt or what lines need to be crossed in order to achieve the intended goal.
