Palin moral values do not include compassion for rape victims

Aside from this makes the forth reason she gave for Monegan no longer having a job, including "he quit" but this is an all time low. As bad as it is to use this as an excuse, it shows what little compassion Palin has for rape victims. It wasn't bad enough that Alaska charged rape victims for the rape kits, but this one should be a disgrace for the people of Alaska to have a Governor like her as head of their state. It totally changes my thoughts on the Alaskian people. How could they have given her such a high approval rating when she takes this kind of attitude toward crime victims?

Trooper-Gate: Palin's Shifting Stories
By Zachary Roth - September 16, 2008, 3:51PM
There's a moment in a lot of political scandals when the contradictions and inconsistencies in the story being put out by the figure accused become so glaringly obvious that they themselves turn into an important part of the story. We may now have reached that point in Trooper-Gate -- especially as regards Sarah Palin's stated reasons for firing Walt Monegan.

A court filing made yesterday by Palin's lawyer, Thomas Van Flein, asserts that Palin fired Monegan as the state's public safety commissioner because of a series of instances of Monegan's insubordination on budget issues, including Monegan working with an Alaska legislator to seek funding for a project Governor Palin had already vetoed. This alleged pattern of "outright insubordination" is said to have culminated in Monegan planning a trip to Washington to go after federal funds for an initiative to fight sexual assault crimes, which had not yet been approved by the governor. (Van Flein's account was in sync with the line taken last night by a McCain campaign spokesman at a press conference in Alaska.)

The issue of Monegan's work on the sexual assault initiative doesn't come completely out of the blue. In a lengthy exploration of Palin's record on combating sexual assault crimes, ABC News reported yesterday that Monegan was the "chief proponent" for an "ambitious, multi-million dollar initiative to seriously tackle sex crimes in the state," and that Palin's office "put the plan on hold in July," just days before Monegan's firing.
