I don’t often get involved in politics here-Most people know I am a conservative, middle of the road American. I don’t like the far right or the far left. Like many Americans I walk a path down the middle. I have my own personal beliefs and I will vote for the candidate that I feel will support my dream of where America needs to go.
In politics there is fair game and there are places you just shouldn’t go. I feel jjohn has gone over the boundary.
Strider posted a blog about John McClain’s pick for his VP, A very good blog, but among the comments I found jjohns comment. He crossed (in my opinion) over the line. I know we are supposed to play nice and not offend any-one-but guess what he offended me. He has attacked my core values.
Jjohn had the balls to say this about Sarah Palin and her family.
“Reproducing like a rabbit is not my idea of family values. Where are these 5 kids (well, Ok, one is in the military) while she's out all day gaining experience in government? Who is paying for it? Who is going to pay to care for the retarded one? Depends on your idea of a family, I suppose....”
My immediate response was:
So you are against her because she is a competent woman that has a good marriage, 5 children and is able to have a successful career where she is able to contribute to our society? Or is because she is pro-life and made the personal life choice to raise and nurture a child with Down’s syndrome. I don’t think she is asking you to help pay for her child. Shame on you.
If you don’t like her politics—fine. Bu how can you attack a woman-a family who is brave enough to raise a child with that disability.
You sir are the bigot.
