WHAT?! This is why politics makes me FROTH AT THE MOUTH
Palin's home town charged rape victims for evidence kits. It was the only town in Alaska to complain when the state government passed a law mandating that police departments pay for the kits (which cost $1,200 each).
Palin now claims she's against the practice of charging victims, but the police chief who spoke out against the new law (and for charging victims) was the one she handpicked when she fired the old police chief upon taking office.
One more reason to be apoplectically against Palin. WTF. "Oh, sorry you were raped. Please pay us $1,200 for the evidence kit needed to convict your assailant."

Wow. Palin seems to be against survivors of assault! Is this woman a robot in woman's clothing?

Speaking as an Alaskan, as a woman and as a former resident of that particular town, I have that say that EVERYONE seems to expect me to vote in Palin's favor simply for being each of those three things, and I find that ridiculous; she nauseates me to a very real extent.

Wow - dyslexic much? "I have to say that EVERYONE...."
