Palin fights government handouts
Sep. 9th, 2008 07:54 amA story from when she was mayor, quoting her police appointee on why Wasilla should continue to charge rape victims for testing required for the investigation of the crime against them.
Interestingly, the $1,200 price tag for the rape kit listed in the article is exactly the amount that she disbursed to every Alaskan while governor when she took the Federal money for the "Bridge to Nowhere" and simply handed it around.

Things Dems Shouldn't Attack On
Sep. 5th, 2008 01:30 amPlenty of people take six years and five institutions in three states to finish their bachelor's degree. Lifetime and nontraditional learning is an excellent alternative to the traditional four-years-and-out system.
Plenty of people worry about what their kids read and try to censor any libraries they control, And of course, wouldn't YOU fire anyone who didn't support you "in their heart" from a government job if YOU were elected?
Plenty of people view working with churches to help recently laid-off workers rebuild their lives with venomous disdain.
Plenty of people have helped run 527's for Ted Stevens.
Plenty of people had their first political experiences supporting apologists for the Nazis.
Plenty of people believe that they are given missions from God to build massive corporate giveaways.
Plenty of people believe their state should secede from the Union.

From the NYT:That sort of success carried into the convention hall Monday, when Nicolle Wallace, a senior McCain aide, gave a round of cable news interviews criticizing Mr. Obama as “not ready” with the Democrats’ elaborate convention stage as a backdrop.
She WOULD be a Republican, wouldn't she.
