Democrats continue to exploit the mentally handicapped

From News10 (ABC) in Sacramento...

"What kind of people would do this to somebody like that," asked Sam Rascon, who discovered his son had registered and voted only after seeing him with an Obama button last Thursday. "He wouldn't know one candidate from another."

News10 spoke to Michael Rascon at the Thumbs Up! center about the election. When asked which candidate he'd voted for, Rascon answered "the black man." He was unable to remember Obama's name....

[Thumbs Up! adult care center director David] Simerley said his voting campaign also involved developmentally disabled adults not directly under his care. Tuolumne County clerk Deborah Russell confirmed Simerley took out 25 voter registration cards in January, but she could not say how many had been returned.

Russell said she's asked the district attorney to investigate the specific complaint by Sam Rascon that his son was manipulated.

California Republican party leaders are calling on Secretary of State Debra Bowen to conduct a broader investigation of Simerley's activities, according to the party's communications director Hector Barajas.

When asked about it on Tuesday, Bowen had not yet heard of the complaint. "The situation's never arisen," Bowen said.

She explained there is no prohibition against developmentally disabled adults voting without a court order declaring them incompetent.

Simerley defends his actions despite complaints from Sam Rascon and other parents of his adult clients. One parent actually tore up her son's absentee ballot before it was mailed.

Freedom exists only with fair election, but Liberals are obviously too stupid to understand that. When one side cheats to unashamedly, it will encourage all sides to cheat, and we wind up with politicians elected solely on how willing they are to have people cheat for them.
