. . . I'm just pissed that Sarah Palin is using her youngest son to pitch for votes. I'm the father of a special needs child and I can't stand watching this baby boy used in that way - in a convention hall at 10 pm when he should be in bed asleep. Special needs children are not props in some bad one act play. I can't stand this woman or that crazy old man who selected her.

:puke:

1. What you said.

As governor, Sarah Palin cut the state budget for special needs people by more than 60%.

[itsrobert]

5. That's why she had to take the baby to the convention

She cut the budget for daycare for special needs children.

2. Exactly right!

17. Look on C-SPAN too. They have much more video of the crowd and family.

[TomClash]

11. Trig was passed from person to person, maybe a total of 5 or more times. Never woke up once.

All of us here were wondering why he didn't wake up, until the very end when all of them were standing on the stage.

So, "It" doesn't take a Village?

15. I still think that the daughter acts more motherly toward that baby..

but it could be just because she is the primary caregiver regardless of who actually gave birth to him. It's a truly strange situation.

[patrice]

18. I changed a lot of diapers for my younger siblings. Not necessarily a bad thing.

She should NOT be the primary care giver!

Is she the one called Willow? She seemed very open and sweet!

[Virginia Dare]

21. No I'm talking about the pregnant one Bristol..

and she just seems more naturally motherly toward the child. I think it goes beyond diaper-changing. I don't know just something I noticed that's hard to explain.

6. If Alaska succeeded in suceding from the US, do you think your child would be allowed to immigrate

there?

[TomClash]

9. No way nt

10. Not just for special needs childeren, IMO...

...any baby only a few months old needs to be home and in bed and not paraded around like a stage prop.

I know this probably sounds like an overprotective mother, but, geeeeeez, all the germs and stuff around that baby? What in the hell are those parents thinking??? Only what benefits them??? And NOT what is good for the baby???

It would have snowed in hell before I took my four-month-old son to a convention hundreds of miles from his home and his crib...and took him into the convention hall and paraded him around like he was a stuff animal. What's next??? Baby Trig dolls in the RNC Gift Shop??? Complete with a stuffed dead baby moose toy?

Sheesh...hockey mom??? She is NOOOOOOOOOOOO mom except a bad one in my book.

[TomClash]

14. You're right

I was thinking about how she is using special needs kids.

"Stuffed dead baby moose toy" is pretty funny.

23. Wouldn't be surprised to see it! nt

[Virginia Dare]

12. What about propping up that young boy that they are forcing..

their daughter to marry? The one who allegedly posted on his facebook site that he doesn't want kids, and just likes to hang with his buds?

[jhain]

13. I was flipping out yesterday

as they dragged him all over the tarmack in the blazing sun with no hat.
I say we call CPS.

[TomClash]

20. I didn't even know about that

What a collection of clowns. These people never cease to amaze me.

You might get a response from CPS in Minneapolis, but in Palin's Alaska? I'm skeptical.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

16. They are

showing the baby being passed around on MSNBC right now - It's like the M$M has never seen a baby, ever.... One fuckwit compared Obama's daughters to Palin's kids...

[Brundle_Fly]

22. it was past midnight here on the east coast.

[TomClash]

24. So it was 11 in St. Paul

Even worse. I gave up 15 minutes into the speech.
