To be fair I'll amend my post to add a "many of whom"...

Spence, your original comment was BOTH stupid and ignorant. I know very well and have worked with people who are developmentally disabled. Lucky for you that no one in your family has had to deal with it and you can make your idiotic comments and then say "I should add 'many of whom'". If you spent time around people with disabilities (and no, being married to someone who does, doesn't count) and worked with charities that support them, you'd see as many Republicans, if not more than you would Democrats. Get your head out of your ass and think before you speak.

As for funding, check you're facts. You might learn something.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
