You dont bring an innocent child to keep people from critizing you.
and if she left the kid behind all the time, you would accuse her of being a bad mother.
No, this was discussed a few weeks ago.
When a woman who supposedly believes in family values, ignores what's going on within her own family, you have to question her motives.
During the 2008 election, she had a newborn who was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome, which requires nonstop concentrated care. She had a pregnant teenage daughter, who probably should have been undergoing counseling and life preparation classes, instead of being paraded around like Lady Madonna. If I was a mother of a teenage girl, I would have resented how this seemed to be a lark, rather than a serious family problem that should have been dealt with in private. Perhaps the outcome of the relationship may have been different.
Being a parent is a serious commitment, and should come first before anything else. Palin always seems to put herself first over the rest of the family. Not a great example for future generations. And unfortunately, her daughter is now embarking on the same path.
