Now granted, I am somewhat biased as an avowed Liberal, but she makes me sick. For one thing, while she was Mayor of Wasilla, the town <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-09-10-rape-exams_N.htm" rel="nofollow">billed rape victims</a> for their rape kits (up to $1200) despite the existence of the Violence Against Women Act (which Joe Biden wrote and <a href="http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=103&session=2&vote=00295" rel="nofollow">John McCain voted against</a>) which provided funds for assault kits if local governments followed the rules of the law. That particular policy didn't change in Wasilla until after Palin was elected Governor. She's also facing allegations of ethics violations <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/11/palin.investigation/index.html" rel="nofollow">regarding her ex brother-in-law</a>.
