I am also the sibling of a person with disabilities. My sister is mentally retarded, after 41 years of life we're told it was probably due to some kind of birth trauma, which is something my mother always believed to be true.

Every time Sarah Palin waves Trig around like he somehow proves any of her so-called points, it just makes my blood boil. She doesn't represent me, my sister, or the reality we lived and continue to live in. My mother would never have risked her pregnancy the way Palin claims she did -- and my mother would NEVER have taken my sister all over the country as an infant without dressing her properly. Trig was regularly shown without his shoes, without socks or shoes, and once -- late at night -- without socks, shoes or PANTS!

And where are his eyeglasses and hearing aids? Further, where is his intensive early learning? Parents of DS children need to take advantage of the earliest learning periods so their kids can have an increased chance of success when they're older.

Palin doesn't use Trig for anything except a human shield. She has never attempted to truly educate the world about his realities. I suspect it's because she's entirely out of touch with nearly every reality except the one she keeps inventing for herself as victim of the world.

Let's get a little real here, Rush is an entertainer so we have to take what he says with a grain of salt. But on that note, I did come across an article on how Rush got Obama into office with an election scheme that backfired, its a must read check it out
