(female actor/narrator):

“Joe Biden stood up for women and authored the Violence Against Women Act. He calls it “the single most significant legislation that I’ve crafted in my 35 years.”

And Sarah Palin? As Mayor of Wasilla, she required rape victims to pay hundreds of dollars for their own evidence-gathering rape examinations.

How out of touch is Sarah Palin? The AK legislature had to pass a bill making it illegal for Sarah Palin to charge rape victims.

Sarah Palin: Wrong for women, wrong for America.”

Rape Victims Can Be Hurt Financially, Too – Feb 21, 2008

New Law Will Give Rape Victims More Safety

Previously, if a rape victim went to the hospital, law enforcement was called right away to get the initial report of the case and to talk to the victim about evidence collection. … Law enforcement then had to order evidence to be collected in what’s called a rape kit. The kits were only available if ordered by law enforcement.

The GOP hates the notion of community. They can’t win with it. That’s because the party’s wealthy funders don’t want to use their tax dollars to pay for anyone else’s welfare; they do want everyone else to pay for theirs. They don’t want to contribute to the cost of attractive, organized, well-managed communities which attract their businesses, their employees and executives, their living and retirement communities. The GOP can’t abide the notion of community because of its implied commitment. They want to free-ride off the commitment of their less well off, one way they stay wealthy and others never get there.

Ms. Palin, for example, thinks its wrong to use community funds, tax dollars, to pay for law and order. She thinks it’s wrong to use community money to verify and documenting sexual assault or rape — the classic crime whitey is afeared will be done by uppity boys. She thinks it’s wrong to use community contributions to compile evidence to investigate, convict and stop sexual predators.

Why is that? Because in white Alaska the only perpetrators could be white huntin’ shootin’ and fishin’ Goopers? Because to do so might encourage women to report crimes and abuse against them? Then they might get uppity.

Making women pay as much as $1200/rape kit means that only the wealthy will report their abuse and demand that their government enforce their rights and the community’s norms against those who abuse them. That’s what making women pay for their own rape kits accomplishes. It’s a form of pay-as-you-go law enforcement, the natural extension of pay-as-you-go government lawyering and pay-as-you-go legislating.

The only change Ms. Palin will bring to Washington is that the GOP’s new Barnacle will wear a skirt. Well, and not know how to legislate laws or manage more than a PTA-size budget. She will have extensive experience in using the power of government to seek personal retribution, pretty much what government’s for in the Bush era.

WASHINGTON — Activists at a conservative evangelical political forum snapped up boxes of waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its top flap, with an arrow saying “Better flavor if pointed toward Mecca”.

Even more, the box suggested that the US borders would be opened and the country flooded with “Mexicans” if Obama was elected.

How do you spell despicable? Oh, nevermind, I got it, it’s S-a-r-a-h P-a-l-i-n.
Neo-feminism is exactly like neo-conservatism: they are both the opposite of the original concept.
