Palin went into this knowing her daughter would soon be

[marylanddem]

used as an anti-choice poster girl. She is one sick fuck.

[Thrill]

1. She threw her kid under the bus. Her picture is on the cover of a lot of newspapers today

[valerief]

2. She's a neocon (that wh word). She doesn't care. nt

[spanone]

3. me me me me me me me me me me me me me

[marylanddem]

5. Yup.

[redwitch]

4. I cannot imagine what her daughter is going through now.

Her mom is pretty thoughtless.

[seabeyond]

6. not a sick fuck, but not a parent. a parent doesnt put herself before the children

i am into individualism in parenting. but when a person isnt being a parent, i get mad. the decision to run and throw daughter under the bus is simply not doing her job. getting on a plane when water leaks is not doing her job. she gave us two examples of poor judgment

7. There were tons of Palin threads on FreeRepublic BEFORE she was picked...

There was a lot of buzz about Palin on the conservative blogs prior to her being picked...

They had PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY to get ahead of this news.

If they had taken charge, and leaked this themselves, prior to her selection, this might have been forgotten, or at least relegated to "old news" by the time she was selected.

8. Yup.

I feel sorry for her.

Imagine the nerve of her mother. In the last 4 or 5 months she has presumably listened to a lecture about parental responsibility from her mother. Now her pregnancy is exposed for all the world to see, by her mother. And finally in the ultimate act of hypocrisy the mother will hand her daughter her 4 month old Downs syndrome baby for her to care for while she goes off to run for national office.

9. The look on her face in pictures when she was trying to hide her belly with that blanket & baby

truely made me feel very very sorry for the kid. Palin has no compassion for her daughter or her newborn son with Down's Syndrome.

Pitiful.
