As a 92-year-old mother and grandmother, I felt that Sarah Palin’s indiscretion at the Republican National Convention was appalling.

Exposing to the world her daughter’s private life was degrading. A mother’s natural instinct is to protect and shield her children from airing intimate details of their lives. I furthermore disapprove of Palin’s exposure of her 4-month-old infant as a trophy for political gain.

A mother should take into consideration the environment her newborn is subjected to. Instead of her baby being in the quietness of a nursery listening to the soft music of a lullaby, this infant was in a convention hall attended by thousands of delegates and exposed to earsplitting sounds.

Palin states that she is in this race for “you.” Don’t let a pretty face fool you. Palin’s only concern is Sarah Palin.
