It naturally bothers me because it was incredibly stupid and harmful on crime enforcement and vilely immoral on personal morality. It should bother anyone with common sense and a moral compass.

Ideally government should pick up the tab....right. It's State's evidence in a crime. You'll get the criminal vote every time with that.

Ms Palin's boilerplate denial doesn't match the facts of what happened and she refused to answer questions on the subject.

Whom you vote for is your business. I come here to discuss issues, enjoy punditry on strategies, etc. Pom-pomming for tickets here is like fishing in the Sahara. It's a waste of time.

When you vote for a VP, you are voting for a POTUS, just a contingent one. Moreover, there is also a federal law aimed at stopping any practice of charging victims for rape kit evidence that Biden sponsored but McCain has been consistently against by voting against it in 1994 and voting to defund it in 2007.

All these issues will become an issue given the Dems will certainly make it one.
