PALIN WITH HER CRUCIFIX AND GUN GOT STEINEM IN THE CLOSET WITH HER BLOODY HAMMER
Christian women morally corrupted by Steinem are redeemed by Palin. This ongoing struggle in the Holy Cultural War, Christians against Neo-Marxists, exemplifies the eternal struggle between good and evil. Because the sacrilegious sacrificial killing of over 45 million children by their mothers was politically instigated by Steinem, she is now condemned to burn at the stake.

Ultimately it is the criminal who should bear the burden of the added costs, Fannon said.
.............. THAT IS HIS PHILOSOPHY NOT HIS POLICY...
"While the Alaska State Troopers and most municipal police agencies have covered the cost of exams, which cost between $300 to $1,200 apiece, the Wasilla police department does charge the victims of sexual assault for the tests."
Let me repeat the factual part:
the Wasilla police department ****DOES**** charge the victims of sexual assault for the tests.
Why? Because Pailin is so extreme in her opposition to contraception that she would protect a single, unimplanted cell over a woman who was a victim of rape.

it is hard to beleive that anyone could be that insensitive to those that have been raped but utterly unbeleivable that this person is being considered for such vice president which concludes my thoughts that the most republicans are out of touch with people who are hurting and can not identify with others who are not in their close circle thats the attitude that has the american people in the predicament we are in now pure unadulterated greed

It is reprehensible Gov. Palin would have ever even considered
charging rape victims for this. The rape kit is a part of the investigative tools used by law enforcement to solve the heinous
crime which has been committed. To charge the victim is adding
serious insult to injury. But, this seems to be a pattern for old Sarah. It has now come to light she claims she fired the man involved with troopergate because he wanted more federal money to investigate rapes. Just what does the moose mama have against rape victims anyways?
P.S. A joke heard in Alaska recently.
Why do polar bears have to travel with their passports?
*I DON'T KNOW, WHY?
Because Sarah says the polar bear population in Alaska is healthy....It's the polar bears in Canada which are endangered.
Just kidding, she (Sarah) really did say that. It's actually sad.

If you can't pay in the first place, restitution doesn't mean anything.

There are mistakes in judgement that people make and there are attitudes about human beings.
There are differences of opinion and there are issues with our sense of what is humane and just.
Because everyone does it, is not the excuse of a reformer.
If you hold me up to the light, I,as all other human beings do, have inconsistencies. But I have not offered myself to lead the nation, to decide how laws will be written, judges chosen, wars begun.
The criteria and the standards for thought and decisions need to exacting and clear.
Make your decision on how you would like your daughter, your wife, your mother treated. Think and by all means vote.

Please check this out ... the most comprehensive page of information on Sarah Palin on the Internet ... including videos of her saying her proposed $30 billion pipeline is the “will of God,” her saying a month ago she doesn’t know what the vice-president does, and her recently praising the biggest pork barrel spender in Congress Ted Stevens -

It has in-depth research, audio clips, videos, excerpts, and links to hundreds of articles, including many from newspapers and TV stations in Alaska. It has rare footage, including her telling the ‘08 convention of the Alaska Independence Party, whose aim is to give Alaska a vote on seceding from the U.S., to “keep up the good work.” The level of research is unparalled. The site’s editors and volunteers include an Emmy-award winning CNN reporter, the former operating editor of the Monitor’s web site, the former head of NPRs News Blog and the Executive Director of the Online News Association -

WTF????!!! US News is publishing stories based in rumors from DailyKos!!! Are you insane?
Why not post articles about aliens abducting Elvis? Geez.
And there is still some question as to why most Americans don't trust the media and Americans believe in the majority that the media is biased to help democrats?
No point in stopping now. You guys are really proving the majority right.
