I refuse to accept his apology also...but not for the reasons stated by this person.

What are your reasons?

Wic...we don't see many things eye-to-eye...so I'm not expecting to here either.

Gov. Palin may be a political enemy but she is a mother. This business about her using her children as 'props' bugs me really bad. I'm no politician and never will be; but if I were, I'd not leave my children at home. They'd be with me and I'd let people think what they wanted to think.

The current media would lead us to believe that she is the first political candidate to bring her children on the campaign trail. If you & I have watched politics for any length of time, we know that ALL candidates bring their families unless they are advanced adults...and sometimes even then.

Letterman, and now that guy ...

Does Letterman even write his own jokes anymore or does he have script writers?

jatfla, we do challenge each other's ideas, but never the person. If I ask, I am genuinely interested in your perspective.

The thing is, Palin accepted his apology. As a politician and a mother, fine, bring your children with you. But don't drag them on stage with you at every opportunity. If your teenage daughter is unmarried and pregnant don't hold her up as a shining example for any reason.
