why is it only valuable if I "do it" ...do you mean provide care and service...if it is for free?

If I "do it" meaning provide care and service to persons with disabilities and I get minimum wage, suddenly I am greedy and only in it for the money? "you conservatives" talk a bunch of nonsense about people who you call "you liberals"...you don't even know if I am a liberal or not. I am a liberal, so this is the only point you have right...but the self righteousness is all yours. Not everyone who dislikes Sarah Palin is a liberal. My mother has never voted for a Democrat in her life, but she voted for Obama in part she said because of Sarah Palin and McCain's age.

Also, as for whether I "do it"...meaning...am I long term friends with persons with disabilities...I am. I am not in it "for the money" today because I'm paid to do entirely different work. I "do it" meaning I am friends with more than one person with Down's syndrome because I want to be. But do you think that people who provide basic services--I'm talking about helping people with down's syndrome to pick out clothes, to eat healthy meals, or to take showers and visit places in their communities must do it for FREE? Or it doesn't mean anything? People who work these jobs usually earn minimum wage. They do it (usually) because they care. Is that offensive to you in some way that I don't understand? You did not say whether you care about anyone in your own life with down's syndrome. If you do, I congratulate you.

Liberals and conservatives can both "care" about people with Down's Syndrome. I'm willing to "share" this issue with conservatives who are not cruel and heartless toward the disabled...let's share it okay? Let Republicans "care" about the disabled too. I'm just saying that there are more disabled people in the world than just Trig. I hope that you care about all of them.

As for rape kits--I don't care why she cut the funding. I don't care what her motivation was....motivation doesn't always excuse someone for what they do. We are held responsible for our actions and not just our thoughts...so politicians are even more responsible for their actions because they affect other people. I would ask sarah palin about issues like this, but she doesn't answer openly or honestly.

Her own police chief talked about it in the Wasilla newspaper. What was she paying attention to that was more important than paying the police to collect evidence to convict rapists? You tell me.

(And I bring up this story, as I will continue to bring it up as often as necessary to explain to you and to absolutely a anyone else who asks, exactly why I am angry with Sarah Palin...you can think that I'm wrong headed...but at least understand me in my own words, presenting my own clear evidence for why I do not like or trust her. I see her as not honest, not competent, and not compassionate. That is a triple "no" from me that has nothing to do with smarts...and absolutely 100% nothing to do with Trig. As I said before Trig is probably one of the few things I like about the polician Sarah Palin....)
