Your spirit-lifter of the day

There is something very special about this woman, and I pity the detractors on the left and the right who don’t appreciate it.

There are allegations of voter fraud, as a Dougherty County family claims the vote of a mentally challenged relative was stolen.

They say the adult day rehab program where Jack Justice attends took him to vote, without the family’s permission. What’s worse is Justice says the person helping him wouldn’t cast the ballot for his choice for President.

Jack Justice has been voting since he turned 18. Typically his family takes him to their neighborhood precinct. This time Primus Industries, his adult day rehab program, took him to vote. His family was shocked, but what shocked them more was that Jack claims that his aide commandeered his vote.

“They told me to vote for Obama, I said no I wanted to vote for McCain,” said Jack Justice, a voter.

Jack Justice says the person helping him, selected Obama’s name. His sister says the family is often asked to sign a permission slips for trips, but for this they were never notified.

“No permission slips, no nothing, he just came home and said he had gone,” said Nancy Justice, Jack’s sister.

oh…and the “validation of choice” discussion:

Source? I’ve watched MUCH of what she’s said that’s been available and never heard her refer to her decision to have Trig as a “tough” one. Nor her daughter’s unborn child.

Here you go:
Palin, who campaigns on a Christian, anti-abortion ticket, said the couple planned to marry: “We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents.”

Nothing referred to Sarah’s “tough” choice. And really only barely concedes that Bristol had a “choice” to make. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder here. When you referred to it as a “tough” choice, I was really looking for something more along the lines of, “Our family and Bristol agonized for days and months over whether or not her unborn child would ruin her future, strap her unnecessarily or otherwise ‘punish’ (thank you BHO) her…” Instead you point out a colloquial quote that, if you’re LOOKING for it…can be construed as conceding an opportunity for choice. Kudos to you, grand master.

As a mother of one of those “special needs” people, I couldn’t keep the tears at bay. I emailed this to all my family.

My almost 30 year old with Downs absolutely adores Sarah Palin and the whole family. I just want to reach through the screen and hug Trig. He is precious.

What a blessing Palin is to this nation. She has already made a difference.
