Palin might have a child with disabilities. That doesn't make her an expert.

And I'm a bit perplexed at what it matters to you who cry "socialism" at every juncture. My party believes in supporting people with disabilities and working to get them employed in sustainable jobs. Which requires money. I'm assuming that that is what you think Palin would do as well.

It's a public welfare position that supports people in need regardless of their ability to support themselves financially.

Why doesn't that meet your definition of socialism?
You are confusing socialism and social interventionism.
