Palin's Record On Rape, Domestic Violence Questioned

ABC News:

Evangelicals and social conservatives have embraced McCain's vice presidential pick for what they call her "pro-family," "pro-woman" values. But in Alaska, critics say Gov. Sarah Palin has not addressed the rampant sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence and murder that make her state one of the most dangerous places in the country for women and children.

Alaska leads the nation in reported forcible rapes per capita, according to the FBI, with a rate two and a half times the national average - a ranking it has held for many years. Children are no safer: Public safety experts believe that the prevalence of rape and sexual assault of minors in Alaska makes the state's record one of the worst in the U.S. And while solid statistics on domestic violence are hard to come by, most - including Gov. Palin - agree it is an "epidemic."

Gosh, the liberal media is insane and makes me exhausted.
First they say Palin abused her power by the dismissal of Monegan, when she clearly denies it. Now, they're questioning her domestic violence record. She dismssed Monegan because like the article states, he was doing a POOR JOB. The facts back up Palin anyday.

So which is it liberals..­.
She fired Monegan because he didnt want to fire Wootan, or did she fire him because of the poor work he has been doing? (The statistics prove the later)

Ain't no money in preventing rape and domestic violence, apparently.
