Sarah Palin People Magazine September 2008 Cover Photo & Interview
Republican Vice President candidate Sarah Palin speaks out about the day she learned her young son had Down syndrome in this week’s issue of People Magazine.
Sarah, 43, gave birth to her fifth child, Trig, last April; she admits to being nervous about raising a child with special needs.
“Not knowing in my own heart if I was going to be ready to embrace a child with special needs. I couldn’t talk about it.”
The Alaska governor says she didn’t tell her fisherman husband, Todd Palin, about Trig’s condition untill he returned from a business trip three days later.
“The good news is we have a boy. But we have a challenge.”
Todd responded good-naturedly: “Awesome! I’m getting another boy.”

I don’t buy it. She didn’t tell anyone she was pregnant (not her kids, not her parents), because she WASN’T. She knew she was being considered on the repub. vp slate, she went out looking for a woman who wanted to give up her not yet born down syndrome baby. When the found one she lied and announced that she was 7 months preg. When the mystery woman gave birth early, Sarah had to rush back home to collect her new little PAWN to use in her campaign against Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose. She makes me sick!

Who takes care of Trig while middle-aged Sarah is working? Who supports five children, with a special needs infant that will need care for the rest of its life?
What a fake picture!
Mind your own choices Palin! Stay out of the choices of American women!

Most Americans have 2 children and believe in other people’s right to choose. So she doesn’t represent us and our choices.
Out of touch, fake, and no compassion at all. She doesn’t even raise her own children. She has other people do it for her.

Sarah Palin is so compassionate she cut funding for special needs children.

Actually Sarah Palin RAISED funding for special needs children by 175%. Sorry if that’s not enough for you. And before you say that she doesn’t believe in contraception/cut money for teen mothers, she supports contraception through her membership of Feminists for Life and raised funding for unwed mothers 354%.
I don’t agree with her on some issues (I’m pro-choice), but it’s pointless to spread blatant untruths.

The hatred and venom spewed by the liberals a k a progressives, seems to know no bounds. Facts and truth don’t matter either, as long as they can pull down the object of their hate.
Have a good look at yourselves, Sandra Bernhard reflects you.

Ugly,crude, base and not exactly very intelligent sounding. But I’m sure you all feel very good about yourselves. Poor things.
