Comments on: Palin: Obama Will Raise Taxes On Special Needs Trusts

[noloyalisti]

This is a nightmare: Palin will act as pResident if something happens to McSame. If McPain has an operation (very likely) or dies (possible), this religious wacko will be pResident. OMG!

Just in, the McCain/Palin staffer who claimed a black man assaulted her, has now confessed to making up the story in an effort to stir up racism and try to swing Ohio votes to McCain.

It saddens me how many times we hear this hate coming from supporters of McCain and Palin. We have seen this hate far too often at Palin''s rallies.

Sarah, honey, you would be taken much more seriously if you could just once have an original thought and not mention Obama''s name.

What''s next? Palin is a political opportunist of the highest order. Fraud. I am a teacher and the father of a special education student. She knows not what she is talking about with regards to public education and special needs children.

When is this going to be over?

[tscc2]

This is nonsense. There are many different types of trusts and the law is very complex. Is she talking about a non-profit charitable trust? Obama''s plan will have no effect on such an investment vehicle. Of course no details, just blurring gibberish from Palin. I would need to here from a true expect before I could give any credence to what she says. This looks like a red herring.

It is obvious that a woman will never be in the white house as the president or vice-president. this is a sexist country, and there is no respect for woman. The only reason Hillary came close is because she probably takes male hormone injections and grew her own balls, and no can tell whether Hillary or Albright is a man or woman.

Hopefully there will be more than her usual talking points and generalities.

It would be great to get answers to some real questions:

1. Do you support increased funding to and the expansion of Medicaid Waiver programs to ensure that people with special needs can live and work in the community?

2. Do you support making certain that all services are portable, across the states and counties - that people don%u2019t have to get at the end of the line when they move to another state?

3. Will you increase funding to special education, and improve special ed programs so that less parents have to opt out of sending their special needs children to public school because homeschooling is better than no schooling?

4. If McCain were President, and he were to propose drastic cuts in Medicaid, what kind of advocacy would you do for special needs parents to prevent funding cuts that would put us back to the 1960%u2019s?

5. Are you in favor of spending more time, money & attention on the horrific status of mental health treatment and services across the nation?

6. Would you be in favor of ensuring that services are provided to people with disabilities who need them, in spite of their IQs not being in the right range? Specifically, how would you address this problem?

7. If Roe v. Wade were overturned, what special programs might you institute to support the high influx new parents of special needs children who might not have otherwise given birth?

Palin promises to fully fund this program. Does this not fly in the face of John McCain''s pledge to freeze spending?

[DCropp]

Palin is the biggest spender we''ve ever seen in politics.

Who is McCain''s highest paid staffer for the first half of October? Surprise, it''s Palin''s makeup artist.

Cost of Palin''s makeup artist for 2 weeks?
$22,800

Cost of 45 days of Palin shopping with the RNC credit card?
$150,000

Laughter after Palin repeatedly claims she cuts costs?
Priceless

With cost cutting like Palin, America will be bankrupt. Oh wait, Bush has already driven us to bankruptcy. I guess Palin''s just more of the same.
