Sarah Palin Gets Protected From Witchcraft, Made Women Pay for Rape Kits

Current Governor of Alaska and political laughing stock of the planet Sarah Palin may not have much going for her these days, but as this youtube video suggests, she is protected from withcraft.  So she has that going for her going into next Thursday’s Vice Presidential Debate against the mighty Joe Biden. Now if this video is not enough to make you gag, this little factoid about her tenure as Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska will. Apparently, the chief of police in this lovely little town required women to pay for their own rape examinations while she was mayor. I am not makig this up, CNN has this on their website.  According to former Alaska State Representative  Eric Croft, he sponsored a bill in the Alaska legislature requiring cities to provide the examinations free of charge. He states that the only ongoing resistance he got was from Wasilla. “It was one of those things everyone could agree on except Wasilla,” Croft told CNN. “We couldn’t convince the chief of police to stop charging them.” Alaska’s Legislature in 2000 banned the practice of charging women for rape exam kits — which experts said could cost up to $1,000. Interviews and a review of records turned up no evidence that Palin knew that rape victims were being charged in her town. But Croft, the former state representative who sponsored the law changing the practice, says it seems unlikely Palin was not aware of the issue. “I find it hard to believe that for six months a small town, a police chief, would lead the fight against a statewide piece of legislation receiving unanimous support and the mayor not know about it,” Croft said.The rape kit charges have become an issue among Palin critics who say as governor she has not done enough to combat Alaska’s epidemic problem of violence against women. They point to a small funding increase for domestic violence shelters at a time when Alaska has a multibillion-dollar budget surplus. Victims’ advocates say that services are lacking and that Palin cut funding for a number of programs that treat female victims of violence. One heartbeat away folks. That’s our possible future Vice President. Between her loony pastor, her interesting lack of understanding on some basic foreign policy issues and now this rape kit stuff, she is making Dan Quayle look like rocket science. Sorry, but Sarah Palin just is not ready for prime time. There’s no way that she didn’t know that her chief of police was charging rape victims for the rape examinations. And as to that withcraft stuff in the video, wow! Bristol Palin would have been a better choice for VP.

Bristol Palin, 17, Daughter of VP Hopeful Sarah Palin, is Pregnant

Bristol Palin, Daughter of GOP VP Hopeful Sarah Palin

Following a weekend fueled with all sorts of rumors being posted on sites such as the Daily Kos and other blogs, Governor Sarah Palin, the GOP presumptive nominee for Vice President  in a statment released by the McCain Campaign confirmed Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin’s five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father. This follows a weekend of speculation that included rumors that Sarah Palin faked her own pregnancy and this is was actually daughter Bristol who gave birth to Trig Palin.

“Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support,” the Palins said.

The Palins asked the news media to respect the young couple’s privacy.

“Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates”

This statement was issued following the “mud slinging lies” the McCain campaign  being circulated on liberal blogs. There was a near hysterical thread with all sorts of conspirarcy theories including the possibility that Governor Palin was the grandmother, not the mother, of Trig, the child she gave birth to in April.

A senior McCain campaign official said the McCain camp was appalled that these rumors had not only been spread around liberal blog sites and partisan Democrats, but also were the subject of heightened interest from mainstream news media.

“The despicable rumors that have been spread by liberal blogs, some even with Barack Obama’s name in them, is a real anchor around the Democratic ticket, pulling them down in the mud in a way that certainly juxtaposes themselves against their ‘campaign of change,”‘ a senior aide said.

McCain announced his choice of Palin in Dayton, Ohio on Friday and she has been hailded by social conservatives for her strong pro-life, pro-gun, tax cutting conservative credentials and has been given a thumbs up by many eveangelicals who are now energized to support this ticket.
