Fact Check: Palin Rape Kit Story True

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!!!

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.

Sarah Palin doesn't believe in abortion rights for rape victims so this story doesn't surprise me at all but what does is that are there really THAT many rapes in Alaska that they feel the need to charge the victims for rape kits - the collection of evidence???

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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./

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'.
