This sudden propulsion of Sarah Palin for VP is an example of genus yet perverted use of politics. The GOP were smart putting a woman they hardly vetted as their candidate. It gives them a leg up, ( they think) to grab women voters disgruntled because of Hillary, say what? Maybe strict conservatives have such limited brain banding, but not the rest of us. My question is, can she lie as well as the men? Why yes, yes Sarah has proven she can! AND she is good at it too! Facing those crowds with her pretty face, she woos the conservative crowds saying she sold a plane on ebay for a profit, when the records prove otherwise, but the Conservatives cheer those lies on, she is very convincing! The "Right" is not about questioning a woman. When Sarah boosts before a crowd that she said no to the bridge from nowhere, Conservatives go wild. Yet, we know from the press reports she accepted the earmarks she proudly tells the GOP she would never accept. We will soon find out what the Ethics committed has to say about the lies she told in regard to the emails and calls trying to fire her brother-in-law. But worse than that is how Sarah is touting to be an advocate for special needs children, and as Paul Harvey would say, here is the rest of the story:
Palin says: "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."
But the REALITY of her lie is, she cut Special needs funding to education by 62%! Yes Right to Lifer, sucker-up-to-Paliners, 62%! What type of advocate is that?
It amazes me that the public, especially the Right to Life, conservatives, go blind for a candidate they like. They see nothing but a nice looking women with her litter of 5, soon to be 6, who is offering them pretty dishes of abstinence, reformation, creationism, banning books in the libraries, and uses a series of whoppers to promote herself though some of her self absorbed 'assets' make her look like an asshole.
But ya gotta give it to her, she can lie just like any of the men. Especially the likes of the great GOP liars like Tom The Hammer Delay, JAck Abrahmoff, Tom Foley, Larry Craig, The president himself! As a Democrat we have our own heroes, but lately, not as many as the values GOP voters.
So it becomes a case of yes, she is a woman candidate for VP, and we all wanted a Women in high office, but if you have some quadrant in your brain for cerebral reasoning, you must look beyond the Palin twat - her brain is as Conservative thinking as they come, she will set the country back into a time of the Moral Majority. She might look like another pretty face to conservatives, but her reality has a much harsher look for those of us who want to continue to be progressive.
I am happy to see a woman like Palin whose ego is as big as any of the guys, but the real test is can she throw out a big old whopper and have the crowd mesmerized because of her looks and her sex...well, all you have to do is look at the GOP conservatives in Colorado Springs and listen to the cheers for her lies, she has passed the "good old boys" test with flying colors! Go Sarah Go...

Sarah Palin Slashed Special Needs Education by 62%
For those of you who seem so enamored with Gov. Sarah Palin, it might be worth noting that she oversees the budget for the Department of Education and Early Development Special Schools in Alaska.
These funds provide supplementary educational services to students with severe disabling conditions and the Alaska Challenge Youth Academy. The resident school where the child would normally be placed does not have the resources to provide an adequate educational program. Without the supplementary services the child’s needs would not be met by the local school district in most cases.
The following programs are included within this component:
Special Education Service Agency (SESA)
The Annual budget for 2007, which preceded Gov. Palin was $8,265,300.
2007
The Annual budget for 2008, enacted by Gov. Palin is $3,156,000.
2008
The Annual budget for 2009, enacted by Gov. Palin is $3,156,000.
2009
This is a cut in special needs services to children in Alaska of 5,109,300 , or 62%.
So, as the Alaska State Budget description states, “Without the supplementary services the child’s needs would not be met by the local school district in most cases.”
Did 62% of all of the special needs children in Alaska stop having needs once Gov. Palin took office?
