Ok, this is really irritating me now. Can ANYONE find that this actual story was ever ACTUALLY originally put out by anyone? Obviously SOMETHING got put out two years ago, or the politician would never have bothered to respond to it on his page. But who’s to say someone isn’t just making crap up and reposting it? I can’t find that article at the Gainseville site, so…?? wth. Is this all just political bs? Edit…sorta finding it, but can’t get it to load. Also found other articles referencing that one, so…guess it DID get put out there. Just surprised NOBODY ELSE PICKED UP ON IT… Or did they? ---

Instead of multiple-choice, from now on voting could be fill-in-the-blank. Then you’d have to know the name of at least one candidate for the election. ---

Didn’t make edit, but: direct link, in case someone needs a verifiable article and not a repost or blog. 'cause I sure did 😉 [http://www.gainesville-times.com/news/2010/feb/22/marshall-disabled-kids-are-gods-punishment/](http://www.gainesville-times.com/news/2010/feb/22/marshall-disabled-kids-are-gods-punishment/) ---
