Wiggy, I'm just talking about the have-it-both-ways balancing act the party is attempting. Try to pay attention.

You're exactly the kind of reactionary kneejerk the GOP counts on. Don't forget to vote November 5th.

Apparently, she's quite the feminist:

Eight years ago, complaints about charging rape victims for medical exams in Wasilla prompted the Alaska Legislature to pass a bill -- signed into law by Knowles -- that banned the practice statewide.

"There was one town in Alaska that was charging victims for this, and that was Wasilla," Knowles said

A May 23, 2000, article in Wasilla's newspaper, The Frontiersman, noted that Alaska State Troopers and most municipal police agencies regularly pay for such exams, which cost between $300 and $1,200 apiece.

"(But) the Wasilla police department does charge the victims of sexual assault for the tests," the newspaper reported.

It also quoted Wasilla Police Chief Charlie Fannon objecting to the law. Fannon was appointed to his position by Palin after her dismissal of the previous police chief. He said it would cost Wasilla $5,000 to $14,000 a year if the city had to foot the bill for rape exams.

These stories are just endless. I don't know see how the Palin bubble can't pop.

She was, after all, hopelessly confused on the origin and history of the Pledge of Allegiance.

I don't think it's wasted energy that could be used on McCain. In fact, McCain picked her which is a pretty bad **** up. Now if people don't realize that then what can you do.

Um... not focus energy on a failed attack? Good politicians know what to expend their capital on. Good politicians just care about getting elected and not their country even though their slogan is "country first." McCain is so full of it it's ridiculous.
