It's like the Iraq war. Here a reason. There a reason. Everywhere a reason, reason. How many reasons will there be? Something else to count.

Give me a break! She fired him for insubordination. She wss his boss and he went behind her back. The man was an at-will employee and served at the discretion of the governor.
Get over it.

Different subject check this:

Schwarzenegger, a Republican, made the announcement this afternoon. The veto will mark the first time in modern history that a California governor has rejected a veto a state spending plan. The Democrat-controlled Legislature has said it is prepared to override a veto. http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2008/09/schwarzenegger.html

did anyone catch it...?

Republicans for Child Molestation!

Republican Presidential Candidate, John McCain criticized Senator Obama because Senator Obama supported Illinois legislation which required schools that have sex education classes to also teach about the problem of child molestation. When asked about this, Senator McCain could only say, my friends, child molesters are my friends too.

Republican Vice Presidential Candidate, Sainte Sarah, fired public safety director because he sought funds to combat child molestation in Alaska. When asked about this, Governor Sainte Sarah responded, God loves child molesters too. And, Alaska comes first.

So Palin saw rape as a source of State revenue, in that victims were billed for their rape kits.
Monegan saw things differently. I imagine any civilized person would.

Wow. Sanity again. I was entertaining myself posting on Pajamas Media but the right wing blogosphere are vicious, condescending, sexist and scary. (posted as avoidswork, for whatever reason TPM and I have huge password issues)

At least I got an author of an article to reply and insult, etc. I mean, these are the kind of people that use the word "womyn". I also was told in a kind manner to go ahead and kill myself if I wished b/c it was better than murdering a baby.

When you press them on stuff like the rape kit charges, about Alaska's state statistics on violence against women, rape and incest crickets chirp. They have no comprehension of how PALINs POV on such issues of choice, abstinence and the like could, like, be an issue because VPs don't make laws, Congress does.

Yeah, except there is this scary elephant in the room called "Supreme Court Justice" appointments.

The right doesn't care that she's a liar. That she is NOT a feminist. That between her state and mccain's record on women's issues they don't represent women.

They don't talk Troopergate and would never respond to anyone pointing out the hypocrisy in firing a man who wants to tighten controls on the worst state in America's sexual abuse situation.

And they don't care that this is a woman who, if her daughter was raped, would "choose life." They will not answer you when you ask them to look a young teenage female who has been raped in the eye and tell them that they have to suffer the consequences of an act not in their choosing and "choose life."

I had no true comprehension until posting at the conservative site how hate-filled, vicious and frightening these people are...

Anyone want to bet that a relative (or friend) of
Sarah's was coming under investigation?

Why isn't this story on the front page of the NYT or the WaPo?

Why does Sarah Palin support child sex abuse?

What is with Palin and sexual assault? Perhaps she believes that women are to submit to men as their temporal and spiritual masters. Is that why "First Dude" (what an utterly trite nickname) has his hand in all key decisions? Some wacky, religious thing, maybe (there's plenty of color to be had on that subject and Palin).

You think this has some jackdawed connection (in Palin's mind) to her beliefs about abortion?
That maybe if someone can't move forward with a rape case they will have to keep any living products of the violent encounter? To leave it in the hands of God?
Or do you think that trimming the budget for the installation of the grand Wasilla sports complex was more important in Palin's mind than a shattered victim?
What a humanist! What a warm and fuzzy, lipsticked, soccer Mommy!

RECALL! RECALL! RECALL!

McCain and Palin babble about change and reform.
What we can expect, if they are elected (horror!), is chump change and DEform.

This sounds bizarre and downright sick but it appears that Palin is actually PRO-RAPE. Yes, I know what you're thinking, that's totally nuts, but bear with me a sec.

Palin has stated that there should be no exceptions to a ban on abortion. In the case of rape, (perhaps the one case where every sane person, even abortion foes, agrees that abortion should be available), Palin has said abortion should not be available even to rape victims. This is so far outside of the mainstream that not even GOP policy supports this.

By way of explanation she stated that the unborn should not have to pay for "the mistakes of society".

Mistake? She considers rape a mistake?

Perhaps this is why she believes rape victims should have to pay for their own treatment and that someone should be fired when they attempt to agressively pursue child molesters.

OK ... so which one of Gov. Palin's relatives do you wanna bet is a child molester? Why else would the conservative, pro-life, law & order, fire the trooper, marry your baby-mama, conservative Gov. Sarah Palin be concerned about the state's safety commissioner getting tough on child molesters?
