I’m not sure you’re reading that right, Rob. $5 million was allocated by the legislature, she cut it back to $3.9 million. We don’t know how much was allocated last year.

I saw this elsewhere: RealChoice: Palin slashes funds for teen moms?

It could be that Covenant House isn’t rated that highly as a charity, so she cut back the amount they were getting.

Shouldn’t they be complimenting her?

Shouldn’t she be thanked and congratulated? Hmmm…

Does this have anything to do with the Palin’s situation?

Not at all.

1% of Americans pay 40% of the income tax.
5% of Americans pay 60% of the income tax.
10% of Americans pay 70% of the income tax.

Shouldn’t they be complimenting her?

Exactly! Sarah Palin obviously understands that it’s not society’s responsibility to fund pregnant teens.
This just backs Palin’s strong family values by showing the public that maybe parents should take responsibility for their children ... which includes their impregnated children.

Does this have anything to do with the Palin’s situation?

Maybe not,

But it is still a fair campaign issue.

I also did not read the article like Rob.  The legislature allocated $5 million and she cut it to $3.9 million. 

Without knowing anything about the funding in previous years I don’s see how you can claim that she increased funding.

But it is still a fair campaign issue.

Not by starting it off talking about her 17 year old daughter.

I guess it’s ok for the media to bring up her situation but you can’t even talk about what the wife of Obama says during campaign speeches.

1% of Americans pay 40% of the income tax.
5% of Americans pay 60% of the income tax.
10% of Americans pay 70% of the income tax.

All I meant was that the fact that she cut this funding is a campaign issue.  The irony that her daughter is pregnant will be mentioned, but shouldn’t be the focal point. 

But don’t pretend you have laid off on Michell Obama.

What ever Michell Obama says in a speech should be fair game IMO. AND being proud of her country for the first time in her life should be an important issue for a hopeful First Lady.

But don’t pretend you have laid off on Michell Obama.

Well as proud as I am of my contribution to journalism our reach isn’t exactly comparable to the Washington Post that’s out to win a campaign for their guy no matter how many 17 year old girls it takes.

1% of Americans pay 40% of the income tax.
5% of Americans pay 60% of the income tax.
10% of Americans pay 70% of the income tax.

But don’t pretend you have laid off on Michell Obama.

When I’ve criticized Michelle Obama it’s been over things she’s actually said and done.  Not over how she’s raising her children.

The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

As for whether or not the $3.9 million was an increase for Covenant House:

It is true that lawmakers allocated 5 million to Covenant House Alaska and that Mrs. Palin cut that allocation to 3.9 million dollars. However, what is misleading about the Post headline is that the allocation of 3.9 million is three times more than Covenant House Alaska received from government grants in 2007. According to records on the Covenant House Alaska website, the organization received just over 1.3 million dollars from grants in 2007 and nearly 1.2 million in 2006. Even with the reductions, Governor Palin signed a budget which provided three times more funds than the organization received in 2007.

And by the way, Covenant House is a faith-based agency.  I thought you liberals hated that?

The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

I am glad Sarah Palin is a very strong individual, the left is scared (and know they can’t) attack John McCain’s character, so he needed a strong individual in the VP seat. Look at how the Democrats and the Democratic Media are attacking her and how far they will try to dig up stuff on her. Something tells me the Left is scared of this

inexperienced Govenor from Alaska.

She has more executive experience than their choice for President.

I am sure she couldn’t figure out why they need anything more than “just say no” buttons.  After all it worked for Nancy Reagan.

And what worked better than the “just say no” campaign.

You’ve had 20 years to think about it.

1% of Americans pay 40% of the income tax.
5% of Americans pay 60% of the income tax.
10% of Americans pay 70% of the income tax.

Thanks, Rob. Just found another story about the money that group received.

Sarah Palin did not slash funds for teen mothers — Warren Throckmorton

Ha! Didn’t actually see where you linked to. Same story.

Great minds think alike.

For the upside downer “liberals”, an increase is a “cut”. They call this “reality based”.

Dear Liberals…

It’s really ok. Sarah will be fair to you too. I know you would if given the chance and so does most of America.

You have nothing to run on but fear, hate, envy and the insane notion you are kinder and more progressive to people than the mean old Republicans.

When you lose, do you regroup and change your ways so you might win next time? No, you convince yourselves you guy was robbed, either by the Supreme court or voting machines and who know what’s next.

You big election in 06 was brought on by the Republicans pissing off their bas with the spending and the illegal alien amnesty and they stayed home.

Believe me when I tell you that Sarah Palin has stirred up the quiet giant and we are coming out strong and sure to vote against your socialist ways this November.

Nothing you can lie about and try to smear this good family will work. I know you’ll keep trying but it only makes you look worse and worse.

Funny thing is you are so wrapped up in yourselves you can’t see it.

You have been out foxed. Get over it.

See ya’ in 2012.
