Exploiting your children through torture

With the Republicans not letting anybody in to their campaigns, and the democrats letting virtually everybody in, guess who is going to have more "issues" at their campaigns. Yup, you guessed it, the democrats.

The latest in rally horrors was a guy who brings his 3-year-old daughter in to the rally. In addition to the 3 year old daughter, he brings in a giant Bush-Kerry campaign sign. Apparently, a rabid democrat took the sign and broke it, shredded it, or what have you. The girl started crying, for obvious reasons, and she was on top of Daddy's head for pictures crying. And, he had to pout for the pictures too.

First of all, what guy would bring his 3-year-old daughter to a political rally? Secondly, what guy would bring his 3-year-old daughter to a political rally with which he doesn't agree? Thirdly, what guy would bring his 3-year-old daughter to a political rally with a giant sign in opposition to the purpose of the rally, the sign obviously meant to raise people's ire, to evoke emotions, etc?

Obviously a guy set out to exploit his daughter for every penny she's worth. Though, it makes for great publicity. Yet, Running Scared notes that the guy has been in the paper for three election years running. I wonder what he'll do for his fourth... Maybe bring his 2 month old and allow the kid to be stepped on, lord knows he has enough kids (check the running scared entry).

On the other hand, the democrat who did rip up the sign should be ashamed of himself. He was a jackass who should be ashamed of himself. However, the father was just as evil. "He was just trying to state his position." Puh-leese. If a democrat did it at a Republican rally...oh wait, that couldn't happen.
