Alright, I have stayed away from Palin bashing in my blog, but after watching the debate last night, I have to ask this question:

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW BEING THE MOTHER TO A BABY WITH DOWN SYNDROME MAKES ONE AN EXPERT ON AUTISIM???? Hmmmmm??? Anyone??? I'll bet it is the same way you are an expert in foreign policy because russian planes MIGHT fly over your house.

You know, I am pretty experienced as well. I mean, I grew up pretty darn close to Canada, in fact I am sure I smelled some Canandian garbage driving past the many landfills in Michigan. Seriously, I should run! I went to public school, that makes me an expert on EDUCATION!! Sweet, you know what else? I successfully balance my family budget, CRAP! I am an authority on budgets! I purchase and use manufactured items all the time! I can fix our slumping factories, and create jobs, you betcha! I have done a fair amount of camping, so I am pretty sure that qualifies me as an expert on the environment! Seriously, I have seen more than one bear in REAL LIFE! Beat that Joe Biden! I could also tap into my folksy Michigan vernacular. Wholy waaa! get me in the whitehouse NOW! The only thing I am missing is the degree in journalisim. Maybe if I get started now, in four years I can run. My only worry is that I MIGHT not be quite cute enough...

i'm with ya' I actually used to work with developmentally disabled children and adults and even the so called "experts" aren't experts. each person and the level of their disability is unique to them. the catagories for definition are broad and some persons with developmental disability are dually diagnosed meaning they have more than one problem. I guess because I worked with them i'm an expert too! I too have balanced budgets and managed purchase and use of large manufactured goods. too bad we can't get three people on the same ticket.... no folksy vernacular though.
maybe the usage of the word "Dude".

I am thrilled when I see this written toward Palin from a woman. 'Cause that would be “me” being seen as, having a prejudice toward women. ------The "wound" of "men''. ------ Nah, I'm kidde'n.
But hey I must admit, I thought for sure he lost it -for sure- 'till he brought her in.
Through all of my experience- "People within the autistic spectrum- are experts on themselves- we all are." They know what works with them, sometimes I think too much." I wonder how much time she does she spend in dealing with her kid?
It would appear to me that she appeals more to Cronyism and Phony-ism than she does anything else.
