compassionate conservative? NOT
Michigan woman limits her treats to McCain supporters only

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich. - A suburban Detroit woman decided to scare up the vote among neighbourhood children by just offering treats to John McCain supporters.

Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, handed out candy Friday only to those who shared her support for the Republican presidential candidate and his running mate, Sarah Palin.

Others were turned away empty-handed.

TV station WJBK says a sign outside Nagel's house warned: No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters.

Nagel calls Democrat Barack Obama scary. When asked about children who were turned away empty-handed and crying, she said simply: Everybody has a choice.

Fax and phone messages left at numbers for Nagel were not returned.

2. I grew up near there.
Take this article as part of the many reasons I left the area.

3. I just want to know how she knew what the children believed
It seems to me that it would be really easy for the children to tell her what she wanted to hear, whether they agreed with it or not. I don't usually condone lying...but in this case, this woman deserves it.
