Fact Check: Palin Rape Kit Story True

BLAH BLAH BLAH

wow you really dont get it do you???, have kids then write from an informed position...

WOW TOMMY, SO MUCH FOR UNBIASED REPORTING.

If at all possible, I think the four individuals running for President and Vice President should be
on air together, each as a team for questions. I feel
strongly, that as Americans we should be represented
by the very best in the White House, and this certaily
could help all of us vote properly. Thank you for
any consideration you may be able to give this. It
is never to late until after the election!

What a bunch of garbage. Wasting your time again. I suppose you support Obamas stand on abortion and also on botched abortions where babies are delivered alive.......let those babies die on a self or in a sink somewhere.

The McCainites are upset. They don't know what to do. They look at McCain like he is the Mighty Casey. They must feel like they are in Muddville. As the days go by there is no joy in McCainville because the Mighty McCain is striking out.

DEBATE-1-Obama v. McCain-Obama Wins. Senator Obama looked and acted presidential and won the debate. McCain looked and acted like a grumpy old grinch.

DEBATE-2-Obama v. McCain-Obama Wins. Senator Obama looked and acted presidential and won the debate. McCain looked and acted like a grumpy old grinch.

DEBATE-Biden v. Palin-Biden Wins. Senator Biden looked and acted Vice Presidential and won the debate. Palin looked and acted like she was trying out for Saturday Night Live.

Hey tommy buttkisser for obama, why dont you do a piece on his signed contract with the chicago socialist party in 1996 ? or are you also an avocate for socialism too ? Or how about that Berg lawsuit about his fraudulent birth certificate or all that ayers stuff and acorn ??? No, hell no you wont,because you wont ever tell the truth in here......you are a disgusting little blogger that cant handle the truth about your beloved pig, obummer.

It seems to me the comments that Obama is responsible for everything his pastor proclaims, as well as responsible for the decades old actions of someone on a committee with him is really saying, "I not voting for Obama, because he is half black". That person is just masking his racism.

If the government doesn't pay for the choice of abortions for the poor, then the government ends up paying for the extensive hospitalization & funeral for the mother of a botched abortion by a quack, or the raising of the child through AFDC.

Get the facts straight. It's obvious you are so bias for Obama that you are willing to lie. Wasilla charges the INSURANCE COMPANY, not the individual. And if you look at any treatment that ANYONE gets in a hospital for ANYTHING, the insurance company gets billed. If there are no cases where this ever happened and no individual who has ever charged that it happened, why is this an issue? I'll tell you why. BECAUSE PEOPLE IN BED WITH OBAMA WILL STOOP TO ANY LIE FOR HIM TO GET ELECTED. It's bad enough the lies keep coming out of his mouth.

it has already been stated that alaska is not the only state to do this. why dont you report on obama's fake birth certificate, his remark about his muslim faith out of his very own mouth. really tired of his finger pointing to. we all know he is not going to do what he promises. my favorite part of obama is he knows we are struggling but he wants us to dontate to his campaign. hello we are barely affording gas for work.

I feel that state of Alaska should pay for the kits and not the victims.

David,

Political Machine is not, nor has it ever been, unbiased journalism (if that even exists in our society any more.)

The pieces here are opinion supported by fact . . . editorials so to speak. The site is designed to provoke discussion and/or debate.

If you don't like the stuff, find a place where you do. You may consider Caleb Howe or Mark Imponi, who tend toward the right. The pundits here aren't going anywhere, and I am truly hard pressed to see why you would frustrate yourself so much visiting.

The hospital billed for the rape kit. I don't know about you but, hospitals bill for everything including aspirin. Who do you think should pay for it?
When will Obama answer to the charges in the Philadelphia court? Is he an illegal alien?

It is sad really sad when a country will vote for the dogcatcher for Pres. as long as he is the right color, it is also strange as how the facts as relate to McCain are upheld to the highest, but please remember that this is a man that left his crippled wife, with a new model that was not damaged, along with his childred.We as a country are a little crippled right now , we dont want Mc Cain looking at us and drowning us farther than his bush buddie did, who know what model he wants to replace the Good old USA with./


I'm a little confused.

Let me see if I have this straight...
If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'

Grow up in Alaska killing and eating moose, you're a quintessential American story.

If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

But if you name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating,
you're well grounded.

If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that
registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with fewer than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive (and according to the actuarial tables, you have a greater than 30% chance of succeeding the president during your first term).

If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, left your severely handicapped wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.

If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school systems while your un-wed teen daughter
ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family values don't represent America 's.

If your husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA , your family is extremely admirable.

OK, much clearer now!
Whew!!! ........I was worried there for a minute.

Rias, the same might be said about Obamanation and his disciples. Sarah Palin is scaring the poop outta you Losers.
OMG, they make the rape vistim pay for the rape kit?? Rape victims never have to pay a medical bill again 'cause they were raped? This is what this article is lambasting? First it's Sarah's accent, now this...what next? She prefers blue ink to black? This is below reporting, who cares!
Don't worry you Liberal Losers...you'll still get to kill your babies. Wouldn't want to inconvenience you or anything.

Judging from Mr. Christopher's profile pic, he would be wise to avoid any and all references and comparisons to pigs.

Just sayin'.

I don't feel that the government should have to pay for rape kits; maybe the police dept. at best... I also don't think that the government should pay for abortions for the underprivileged, which Obama supports!!!
---------------------------
I have three questions:

Are you pro life?
Do you believe in God?
Do you support the welfare system?

Bill O'Reilly, the media mouthpiece for the Republican party stated on Dec 19, 2007 in discussing the pregnancy of teen ,Jamie Lynn Spears (sister of Britney Spears) said that "the blame falls primarily on the parents, who obviously has little control over her."

Bill O' Reillys recent stance on teen pregnancy has changed in defense of Palin. His current statement on teen pregnancy is, "as long as society does not have to support the mother, baby or father, it is a personal family matter."

Now, I am not saying O'Reilly speaks for all Republicans, only that he is a republican mouthpiece.

It is not even the hypocrisy of these 2 statements that bother me most, it is the statement that "as long as society does not have to support the mother, baby or father", that I find most troubling.
Translating this into laymans terms means this is a family matter for the rich and not the poor.

There is something fundamentally wrong with being pro life and against welfare at the same time. Welfare is the only federally funded program available that would support a pro life stance for poor teen mothers that have no or minimal family support. The subsidies reaped from welfare are marginal at best.

There is something fundamentally wrong with supporting a pro life stance with Gods will. The God I am familiar with, would not condemn poor teen mothers.

The dilema here is, you don't want these poor teen mothers to have access to abortions, yet if you oppose welfare, there are no provisions available for them to make a pro life decision.

When the use of God becomes a marketing tool to further a political agenda, it turns into doublespeak and devalues God.

And we all know that Media Matters could not be wrong about anything, don't we??

The fact is that the rape kit charges were happening BEFORE Sarah Palin took office.

However, let's think about it! I have never thought before about what happens if you get attacked. Have any of you?

You go to a hospital. Who pays? I would assume that if you have insurance then they pay. If you don't the hospital bills you.

I believe that if you want repaid you apply for victim's crime assistance and they repay the money.

What does this have to do with Sarah Palin? Did she go knock on people's doors and ask them for the money?

No. The policy is set by the hospitals not Sarah Palin.

What a bull crappola story.

How about we talk instead about that pesky old voter fraud that Obama and Acorn are perpetrating on the American people?
