“Did you think/feel that way when the left was crucifying Palin for not being ashamed of her Down Syndrome son?”
No, I didn’t. You are comparing apples and oranges and it doesn’t stand up. It isn’t even in the same ballpark.
“Using this, Santorum’s child, as a reason for your disdain is just like the Left.”
Really? Then YOU answer the question I asked. Would YOU expose your child to mortal danger to win an office? I am not the one ‘using’ his child. HE is.
I wouldn’t expose my family, my children, to anything the media and the spectators have thrown at any of the candidates.
I’m not comparing apples and oranges. Santorum has a “special needs” child just as Palin has. He has other children as well just as Palin has. Palin was a working mother, in political office, and we’ve all seen the slams against her for putting her career ahead of her family.
So you agree that Palin used her child also? You agree that any politician with children uses their children for political gain?
Now answer my questions. Was it the same with Palin? Her Downs child has medical issues so was she exposing him to mortal danger by being governor, campaigning as possible VP? Traisping across the country in her bus? What mortal danger is Bella exposed to by her father running for office?
You can’t have it both ways. Some politicians, those who seek political office, have children.
I just think it would be better to keep the discussion, if one is interested in actually swaying others, on factual information/records.
I look at fiscal, national security and then social issues. My favorite is out (Perry) and he had all three plus he had the personal life that was attractive. I like Santorum far more than I like Newt but Santorum doesn’t have a real shot, imo.
These three, Newt, Romney, Santorum are weak and no different than McCain, Romney, Huck back in 2008. I’ll probably vote for whomever is the GOP candidate in the general because I won’t vote for Obama.
But to trash Santorum because he doesn’t hide his child is low, imo.
