Zie de 8 zetels van Wilders. Roep iets van "Marokkanen uitzetten" zonder echt veel andere substantie te hebben in je partijprogramma, en een hele horde mensen die verliefd zijn geworden op het woord "uitzetten" lopen er als makke hondjes achteraan.

Ja, kiezers zijn zo simpel.

Rape Kits Cheaper Than Palin's Per Diem

By Tommy Christopher
Sep 10th 2008 7:22PM

I reported earlier today that during Sarah Palin's term as mayor of Wasilla, AK, her police department had a policy of charging rape victims for the forensic evidence collection kits, or "rape kits," at a cost of $300-$1200 each. Then-Governor Tony Knowles told me, on today's press call, that Palin's jurisdiction was the only one in Alaska that used this practice. In 2000, Knowles signed a law protecting victim from having to pay for their own evidence collection.

This comes on the heels of the news that Palin billed the state over $16,000 in per diem travel expenses for nights that she spent at home.

A quick analysis of available crime statistics for Wasilla shows that, even at $1200.00 each, the town could have paid for all of the rape kits while Palin was in office, and still had a good chunk of change to give Palin for traveling around her home.

Never mind Palin's gratuitous and nervy per diem, do you really think Wasilla, with its $27 million in federal earmarks, couldn't have afforded the evidence collection for the 1 to 2 Wasilla rape victims a year?

This issue goes to the heart of the McCain/Palin ideology. When they talk about cutting "waste," they don't mean investigating contractor fraud in Iraq, or repealing irresponsible and unaffordable tax cuts for the rich. They mean denying regular Americans any shred of dignity that they can pick off and brag about during their endless campaign.

A McCain-Palin ad has FactCheck.org calling Obama's attacks on Palin "absolutely false" and "misleading." That's what we said, but it wasn't about Obama.

Our article criticized anonymous e-mail falsehoods and bogus claims about Palin posted around the Internet. We have no evidence that any of the claims we found to be false came from the Obama campaign.

The McCain-Palin ad also twists a quote from a Wall Street Journal columnist. He said the Obama camp had sent a team to Alaska to "dig into her record and background." The ad quotes the WSJ as saying the team was sent to "dig dirt."

Update, Sept. 10: Furthermore, the Obama campaign insists that no researchers have been sent to Alaska and that the Journal owes them a correction

GIBSON: And under the NATO treaty, wouldn't we then have to go to war if Russia went into Georgia?

PALIN: Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help.

Q: Let 's move on to what you say is the number one issue facing the United States in our time. And that is the challenge of addressing Islamist extremism. What credentials does Gov. Palin have -- in national security, diplomacy, foreign policy -- that qualify her to be your partner in that, on that issue: the fight against Islamic extremism?


McCain: Well, obviously the economy is also a major challenge facing America.

Q: No, I'm using your words, Senator McCain, you have said, this summer...

McCain: No, I said...

Q: That the number one challenge of our time is Islamic extremism...

McCain: No, I said the greatest challenge of our time is national security threats. I've also said that jobs and the economy are the number one issue facing America.
