Can I play Tina Turner's part?!
I suppose you missed both Obama's and McCain's positions on transpartisan politics. Just because those two idiots said one thing or another about unwed mothers, doesn't mean the entire party or country follows the same philosophy. In fact, both candidates mention it best at times to cooperate with the other party and disagree with your own. Mainly, to hold your beliefs regardless of how yours or the other party feels.tomdarch wrote: Why battle? I don't know exactly.
At least at the moment, it's simultaneously sickening and delightful to see McCain smearing himself in his party's shit in his desperate last chance to be president. Or to hear the true-believers so detached from reality: "McCain and Palin are genuine reformers!" "Being close to Russia gives you foreign policy experience!" "Palin can cure hepatitis just by looking at you!" "Forget what Dan Kwaill (irony intended) said about Murphy Brown and unwed mothers! The Republican party doesn't judge people on personal issues!" "Overseeing the state National Guard is experience as 'Commander in Chief'!" "Obama is too inexperienc ... what? Oh. America First!"
This is just fucking sick.While the Alaska State Troopers and most municipal police agencies have covered the cost of exams, which cost between $300 to $1,200 apiece, the Wasilla police department does charge the victims of sexual assault for the tests.
Wasilla Police Chief Charlie Fannon does not agree with the new legislation, saying the law will require the city and communities to come up with more funds to cover the costs of the forensic exams.
According to Fannon, the new law will cost the Wasilla Police Department approximately $5,000 to $14,000 a year to collect evidence for sexual assault cases.
