At this time of year, I wish to thank you for opening our eyes to a Wild Story about a Wild Ride. You provided an excellent forum for discussion, and it was a sad day when you were driving off of your site. Know that you're missed, and still very much appreciated.

I believe that it was "arranged" for her to become the new "mother" of that baby and I believe that her church, her closest friends and doctor were all a part of that plan. I believe that she announced her 'pregnancy' right as McSame secured the nomination knowing that he wouldn't be choosing a VP until the summer, thus it gave her "time" to roll out the story, with the creds from the moral minory crowd once they found out that she had "that little Down's baby", as Dr. Dobson called him. She makes references of how she was "chosen" to be his mother, both to cover her rear end just in case and to give the impression that it was somehow divine. And I think this story is going to hit the fan. I wish you well and hope you know just how instrumental your blog has been to get people to thinking about this in a critical way.Ninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536370489479995461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091845104881454109.post-69541583460124604392009-10-29T06:40:01.983-07:002009-10-29T06:40:01.983-07:00Still waiting and watching..... any returns planne...Still waiting and watching..... any returns planned????Yellowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849910425804748628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091845104881454109.post-66797861728911910932009-10-28T11:36:36.061-07:002009-10-28T11:36:36.061-07:00Just want to leave a note, hoping Audrey and famil...Just want to leave a note, hoping Audrey and family are safe.

Yes!<br /><br />WWWoman: I keep trying to imagine myself in Levi's shoes. I think he needs the money because he expects there will come a time when a custody battle will happen, and if he has zero money, he will lose. The Palins will see to that. Plus imagine the legal bills for his Mom. In his position, I would do the same -- I would do anything legal to provide for my family. It is sleazy, sure. But it's not like he has a portfolio of other choices. Plus keeping his name in the news, even in this low-life way, might help when he responds to SP's lies, if he has to. I'm guessing that Levi/Rex are not sure yet what they will have to do to meet Levi's goals (which I do not doubt are all about his family). Sure, you and I might do it differently, but I'm all for giving him the benefit of the doubt and some support for being in a very tough spot at a v young age.Amy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/05087449911330111345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091845104881454109.post-91190234400003344842009-10-17T13:06:03.191-07:002009-10-17T13:06:03.191-07:00I check here every day, glad to see that others do...I check here every day, glad to see that others do also.<br /><br />Stay safe Audrey.Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15712155636124863362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091845104881454109.post-10186849954577094392009-10-16T22:59:37.640-07:002009-10-16T22:59:37.640-07:00Still watching...still waiting...Still watching...still waiting...Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04616579464726420905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091845104881454109.post-43703887799355623162009-10-15T08:15:47.359-07:002009-10-15T08:15:47.359-07:00In Chicago this week, a TV news anchor gave birth ...In Chicago this week, a TV news anchor gave birth to her 4th child in the car, while her husband was driving her to work.<br /><br />Now imageine if an ex-TV sports reporter gave birth to her 5th child in an airplane.Windy City Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725737027396779150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091845104881454109.post-70114418227320832132009-10-14T07:23:00.066-07:002009-10-14T07:23:00.066-07:00Audrey, we miss you very much.

Of course he's doing it for the money. Will it make Sarah look bad to have been associated with someone like that, even though he is no longer her future son-in-law? I keep thinking that, the more Levi is in the public eye, the better the chance that he might spill the beans about Trig...mention it to his next girlfriend, who will then tell the media, etc. I wonder what kind of agreement (if any) he has with Sarah and Todd about spilling the beans.

This makes the actual facts about whether or not she gave birth to him, whether she had any heart-rending and gut-wrenching decisions to face personally – not just one or two people away from it personally-- is a very big deal indeed. I'm sure it is difficult to learn that one's daughter, or son's girlfriend, is expecting a child with Down Syndrome, but if you went through it personally, in my opinion, you wouldn't use the term that the learning of it made you “sad.” You might more likely say that it devastated you. <br /><br />I seriously doubt if any mother of a DS baby did not take one day off after the birth of such a child. <br /><br />And Palin's embroideries and lies – specifically the one made up on the hot seat about the plane ride and car ride, a very long trip to an exceptionally easy birth, “in fact the easiest;” her bald-faced lie about how a woman (or rather, she herself, superstar) can work as governor, raise a DS child, and chew gum at the same time; “her” waffling consideration of abortion following “pre-natal testing” – are fiction. To suggest that her political stance, her religious views, or any plank in her party's platform (health care, genetic research, stem cell research, anyone) is or would be beneficial for individuals with DS or other developmental delays is outrageous. She proposed herself as, and was made by Republican image makers to symbolize, someone who is on the side of people with DS. Yet she has done nothing for anyone but herself. To see DS adults stand with placards made for them and wear “Trig” T-shirts, as if she would be an advocate for their needs, means that someone has mobilized them en masse to back her, not her back them. Just to compare, Eunice Shriver was not out to aggrandize herself, to buff her national image, and did not allow herself to be used to garner votes from families affected by birth defects. <br /><br />Really, what would have been the disadvantage to her for saying that she and her husband adopted Trig. That would have been altruistic, even legal. Even if some embarrassing or distasteful details of how and with whom he was conceived were to come to light, at least adopting him would be doing the right thing. But legal adoptions take time, and cannot be accomplished on a self-serving timetable. All parties need to agree to let go of rights to and claims on the child to let the adoption take place. Letting this amount of time pass to that eventuality would have been fruitless for Palin's VP selection campaign, or for the election mass manipulation process. But to fake a belly, fake a birth, fake contractions, fake a momentary consideration of abortion, fake pangs of remorse, fake hair, fake a flute solo, fake and fake and fake again: that defines her. <br /><br />Children and adults with Down Syndrome deserve better. They have very varied needs, individually and by age grouping. Families with members with DS are desperately in need of a health care system that addresses their needs. Palin is not the answer, especially if she has lied to the nation about her relationship to her DS child.– lied particularly to families with big issues relating to their child's care. There is no doubt that her family is raising Trig, perhaps TP more than anyone. But it is equally clear that she uses this group of people and their families for her own purposes, not to assist them as a group, or represent them in any way, but to raise her own profile. Getting rich is just a side benefit.peonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858961889504734316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4091845104881454109.post-28114404626271404072009-10-11T06:26:08.202-07:002009-10-11T06:26:08.202-07:00Aside from the fact that Palin was inadequately ve...Aside from the fact that Palin was inadequately vetted for the job that is a heart beat away from the US Presidency, what bothers me most about the Palin hoax is the cynical mobilization of people with Down Syndrome and their families for their symbolic value in presumably supporting Palin's politics.<br /><br />People afflicted with DS have been mobilized and used as presumptive supporters of this figure and title simply because she “has” a DS child, as if she is or would ever be their champion.

Potential 2012 rivals Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty have been to both states, and McDonnell has also welcomed such conservatives as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Louisiana Gov.
