Claim: Two ads from Crossroads GPS paint incomplete and misleading pictures of Tim Kaine's support for cutting education and defense spending. One ad says that "when Tim Kaine proposed harsh funding cuts for Virginia schools, one Democrat called it 'a kick in the teeth.' " It's true that the top official in one wealthy county did that — when the then-Virginia governor proposed a one-year delay to a scheduled change that would have prevented cuts for two-thirds of the state's poorest school districts.
