betzee, what is wrong with you today?

I wish I could be more enthusiastic about this woman's candidacy for VP and think it's wonderful that a woman with a baby, never mind disabled, should not find any obstacles in her career path. But as a childless by choice woman I'm…

Yeah, Betzee she has a husband who is more than happy to take on that role.

Her husband is a stay at home Dad?

Not trying to make her choices be the law to all other women in the nation.

This is where you are wrong. Pro-life is not a matter of individual choice. The point is to criminalize abortion, no matter who the woman is and what her reasons for seeking to terminate…

Not sure what is meant by this comment, but she found out that her child would be born with Downs syndrome. She made the difficult decision to continue with the pregnancy and give birth to the child. She made the decision based on her own beliefs.

I don't criticize her…

Skip,

Sarah Palin is anti-abortion even in cases of rape and incest. This is a rather extreme stance (though it may be widely held amongst religious conservatives). When she learned her fifth child was a down syndrome's baby, she chose to have him aware he would require care beyond what…

She's just walkin' the walk, something the dems are unable to do.

I disagree. Women like Governor Palin appear to want it both ways, namely rejecting the traditional motherhood role entailed in caring for a handicapped infant for themselves while working the legislative ropes to limit the choices of others…

This was a brave choice by our next president.

Yes, I'm waiting for him to explain it the way old George explained his nomination of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, "He's the best man for the job and we're not going to discriminate against him just because he's black."…

"and a woman who four months after giving birth to a downs syndrome baby is going to start a national campaign for the second highest office in the land." So, she is suppose to give up her life?

If you knowingly bring a handicapped child into the world, you have…

I remember the great days of Thatcher and Reagan.The world was a safer place with those two together.

Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan did not view diplomacy as a sign of weakness. I remember her saying after meeting Gorbachev, "He's a man we can do business with." Don't think she…

The irony, the irony, as someone observed:

*The "Family values" party has a ticket of an adulterer who left his injured wife for an ultra-rich heiress half his age, and a woman who four months after giving birth to a downs syndrome baby is going to start a national campaign…
