Palin's Views On The Needs Of Special-Needs Kids
 

Sarah Palin in her speech last night: "To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters. I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House." Sarah Palin in reality: She cut funding for schools for special needs children in Alaska by 62 percent.

Update: According to the Alaska Dept. of Education And Early Development, Palin increased funding for special needs children. The decrease shown in the budget referred to other programs and was misunderstood.

I'm more interested in the fact that as I type this, Kwame Kilpatrick has accepted a plea bargin and is stepping down as mayor.

"Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick will spend 120 days in jail and pay $1 million in restitution. He pleaded guilty this morning to two counts of obstruction of justice. He will serve 5 years of probation and announce his resignation immediately."

Let's not forget, just before all of this he gave several of his friends and relatives who he appointed to office raises.

That was before she had a child with special needs. Now that she has one, she's an advocate. That's how that thing usually works.

Why they hell would you cut funding for special needs children in the 1st place? And by over 50%! Damn, that does not sound very Christian like, or human like for that matter

*M*, considering the psycho crap this woman has come up with, I wouldn't be surprised for a second if she thought that f–kin' retarded (because that's what she'd call them and her future son-in-law loves the f word lots) children were punishments from God. I wonder what sin she thinks she's ever committed for Trig, the lifetime burden that she only carries for magazine covers.

*M* your right, that doesn't sound very christian or human like, but it does sound very Republican-like.

When is Palin going to be asked to answer for these bad decisions..???
Too bad that if she is confronted, she and the Republicans will scream "Sexist" and it will be all over.

@ danielle I was watching Real Time with Bill Mahr the other day and one of his panelists said Obama and Biden would have to be careful debating her and bringing forth questions regarding her past decisions. If they're too soft on her they'll be looked at as weak, if they go hard, they're sexist just like you said.

Personally, I want Biden to chew her up and spit her out, probably won't happen though.

It's all hype, she want do a thing, cause McCain and other Republicans will not allow it. They don't believe in those kinds of programs. Families with autisim and other disorders have pleaded with the current administraton only to fall on death ears. Mainly because we are already funding a very expensive war. Everyone knows how much McCain loves war. Can't have it both ways Palin. But does she care really? IMO I think not She's got money and doesn't need goverment assistance.

Right, I mean look at the story on Kos:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyo.....564/589298

Showing the 11% increase in… oh wait, you said 60% decrease.

You missed where that one line item got split to two, and handled separately?

Dang, and here I am with a source that you got it wrong.

Maybe you can call my source a right-wing liar protecting Republicans? Oh, it's KOS.

Sorry.

Bragging about shooting wolves from a helicopter, sending her son to Iraq to "defend our freedoms," knowing about Russians because she can see Russia from Alaska, and assailing Obama for his "lack of experience" instead of clarifying her stance on critical issues that face Americans exposes her blatant ignorance, barbaric animal abuse tendencies, and stupidity about the unilateral incursion into Iraq that should have brought impeachment to Bush, Cheney and the other deceitful Carlyle Group war profiteers.
