Again Sarah Palin pimped her Down syndrome child, Trig Palin, while campaigning, this time in Colorado: "“Ever since I took the chief executive’s job up North I pushed for more funding for students with special needs,” and cited her own family’s experience with the issue."
The problem: Sarah Palin slashed $275,000 from the Special Olympics fund in Alaska. http://www.gov.state.ak.us/omb/09_omb/budget/bills/SB221_with_vetoes.pdf (SB 221, Pg. 100) That's right. The message from Sarah Palin to her own son Trig, and thousands of others like him, is this: "It must suck to be you and have a dream." Her claim to being an advocate for education funding of special needs children in Alaska is also a half-truth, at best. (http:// www.nytimes.com/2008/09/07/us/politics/07needs.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1&oref=slogin, "Parents of Special Needs Children Divided over Palin's Claims"). Although she did sign a bill increasing funding, she "had no role whatsoever" in its development, according to the Republican author of the bill, Rep. Mike Hawker. Once again, we find Sarah Palin lying to the voters, claiming she's nothing she's not. This campaign isn't an internet cybersex pick-up chat-room, where you can make outrageous claims and then go consumate the "relationship," with no one the wiser and no one being hurt by your lies. This country is at great risk thanks to GOP voters in 2000 and 2004 who gullibly believed the lies of a fraud and a stealer. If Sarah Palin convinces through her lies enough of this same pool of gullible GOP voters that she is what they need to be VP and likely president once McCain dies. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
