Obama campaign uses down syndrome woman to attack Romney

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

So... the Obama campaign can't use someone who is part of the 47% Romney attacked in an ad?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Exposing a down syndrome woman is despicable and pretty low for the Obama campaign.  When Sarah Palin was against abortion of her daughter Trig, alot of Liberals lambasted her for a choice.  I find that hypocritical and desperate.

Nobody criticised Palin for keeping her child, but to say other people should not have the choice in her situation IS hypocritical.

Also, the suggestion that they're 'exposing' a girl with Down's Syndrome, is patronising in the extreme. As someone with severely disabled people in my family, I've been around lot's of people with disabilities, including Down's. They work, they have families and they are more than capable of making up their own minds and have their own opinions.

Are you f-cking serious? Do you think people with Down's Syndrome don't have opinions and don't want to be heard? You want them in a little bubble so they are 'protected'? She is a woman with opinions and she can voice them in an advert if she wants. It's her choice.

Moron.

They have opinions, but to use them for political gain is disgusting.  I have nothing against against programs that help the disabled or people with down syndrome.  Do you expect them to make rational reasoning or critical thinking when it comes to politics?  No

Give me a break, take back your moron comment.

I beg your pardon? Do you realise how offensive what you just wrote is?

Whats more offensive is Obama catering to the lowest denominator to gain more votes when he has a poor record on the economy, over 8% unemployment and 26 million unemployed or under employed.  If Romney ever pandered to a specific audience,  alot of the media would be on him.

Trying to deflect... classy.

Romney has done nothing but pander... trust me, Romney has the LCD locked up already... clearly.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Yeah, and I said at the time that what Obama said was offensive and he should apologise... and he did.

Although good on you for trying to muddy the issue...

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Just when you thought the Obama campaign couldn't get any lower.

Shameful, absolutely shameful, exploiting a down syndrome individual in this manner, using her for their own selfish, crass, political purposes.

So her mere presence is exploiting her?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

The only thing Obama is good at is campaigning, and turning the United States into Divided States of America.

I take it you haven't seen your guys current campaign strategy...
