Covenant House Alaska is a faith-based, not-for-profit agency which provides a variety of services to troubled teens, including a home for teen moms. Although the work with adolescent mothers is only one component of Covenant's services, Kane focused on this particular aspect of its work. His focus was not a surprise, given the revelation that Governor Palin's teen daughter is five months pregnant. Covenant House requested additional state funding to help expand housing capacity. The legislature agreed that expansion was a worthy objective and allocated the substantial sum of $5 million in the proposed budget. So, the left views a 300% INCREASE as a cut?!

the dems can’t win fairly, so they’ll create false stories.

As long as the maggots in the MSM can keep the spotlight on Governor Palin, they won’t have to worry about it shining on their boy.

The problem we have is that when propaganda is printed by major papers like WP & NYT, it is widely read and believed. The retractions, if printed, are buried where no one will see them.
WE know that the stories are false, but the average reader never finds that out. Sometimes the average reader continues to believe the original story even if they DO see the retraction.
This phenomenon is well known by psychologists. I’m sure it’s also well-known by leftwing press and leftwing campaigns.

And Alaska doesn’t need a tax cut because they don’t have a state sales tax or personal income tax.

Of course. That’s how the left always views funding. Any smaller increase than the largest amount requested/projected is a “cut.”

Not only that, but they are allegedly all mad because an overtly Christian ministry did not receive more money!
These people are insane.

The leftist media is destroying ever shred of credibility they could fake. This election my not only crush Obama and the Clintons. It seems to be exposing the left at every turn to normally inattentive people.
To: wagglebee; All
Typical Demagogue LIES..... a reduction in any PROPOSED increase is portrayed as a cut. Even when the funding goes up a remarkable 300% IN ONE YEAR the libs dare to portray it as a cut...... we are dealing with so many depraved scumbags here, in the media and in the Demagogue Party, who will say or do whatever they think they can get away with...... and they know that they routinely get away with this kind of stuff.

I have more respect for prostitutes than I do so called journalists. At least they are honest about being wh__s.
There is a very real war being waged on American soil. The Left against the United States. It is "total war" as understood by Sherman. No target is off limits, no tactic is immoral and no prisoners are to be taken.

Any smaller increase than the largest amount requested/projected is a cut.Except when talking about non-liberal actions like military, drug enforcement etc. A penny over there is 'profligate spending'!

The leftists in the media always uses a reduction in a spending increase as a Republican ‘slash’ of funding.
IT’s an old ploy but it works because most people don’t get past the headlines.

Good point. And tax-rate reductions are always “tax cuts,” even if they produce more actual revenue.
