12. I agree that the children of politicians should be off-limits

but I don't think it's said often enough--if at all--that if the parents of these children did not want to risk exposing them to this kind of ugliness, they shouldn't have put their children in that position. Political parents know that there are no guarantees that their children will not be made fun of or at least criticized--and let me state again that mean comments about political kids are always--*always*--wrong--and they should be at least prepared to deal with this crap, or think again about running for public office.

There is a balance scale here: protection of my child's feelings on one side, my desire to be elected to office on the other.
