it was a legislative panel in HER state made up of BOTH parties.  they wouldn't look to hurt their governor.  sure, the timing is a little off, but what were they supposed to do, wait around until the election was over?  this is an important piece of information that the public needs to know about.

In one of the weakest states in dire need of services. The timing is too good.  Those that want to see her put on a cross and crucified will believe it.  Those that don't won't .  Nothing has changed.

This election is a joke. Congratulations to the media for electing Obama and brainwashing all of the pea-brained citizens of the United States that have no mind of their own.

Hey Dave, I think some conservative wiseguy hacked into D_B's account again. 

Or perhaps D_B is just bent out of shape that the media didn't elect him?

The results we moved up several weeks so they did not come out a day or two before the election. Now the McCain campaign actually has a chance to address it weeks before the election to minimize any possible damage.

The police are there to protect and serve. This piece of shit tasered a 10 year old, and threatened to kill family members. If it had been anyone outside Palins family, this would be a non issue.

But, don't let the facts get in the way. Go right ahead, and defend the cop and his boss who Palin got fired because the boss would not fire that piece of shit.


That guy is lucky that his ex wife didn't use her second ammendment rights.

This story strikes a nerve with me personally.

There is more to it than that, just like the 1100 emails she is claiming executive privilage on, yet she cc'ed to her husband.
Remember this investigation started before she was picked. If McCain had picked one of the other candidates that most people thought he would pick from, this would be a non story too.

And, the issue would have had a different outcome had she not been picked. Why should that piece of shit NOT have been fired?

I dont know, and neither do you because not everything has been put out for all to see. Maybe the police union is strong and forced the guy to keep him.
She is a brand new govenor, she should be worrying more about her whole state and the big important issues, as opposed to what her brother in law did or did not do and if he was punished enough.
I do not think the commision should have been fired if he did make one mistake. She should have shown a pattern of gross misconduct to ensure it did not look like she was abusing her power and fired this guy because of personal reasons.
Guess we will have to wait and see how it all plays out. Dont get too pissed, your side has the ACORN thing to play with to deflect this stuff somewhat.

Bsmooth, I don't want this to be my side vs your side. I really don't. I'm sure you've noticed a difference in the way I post politically now vs a couple years ago. Honestly, all I want is for everyone to realize that electing someone who promises MORE government (Obama) is really preaching more of the same. Now, I realize that McCain is also in favor of more government. Believe me, he was my LAST choice for the GOP nominee. But, seriously, Obama wants to seize major sectors of the US economy. The US as we know it will not survive it. We have both agreed that the government education is a joke. Welfare has done more harm than good. These are two major things that the government has taken over. I ask you not as a conservative/Republican, but as an American to just consider this: Based on the government's track record of success, can YOU really afford to give them more control?

No we cannot, but in truth I see no difference in either party. To me they are both full of amoral, powerhunger whores who will do nothing to feed their own greed and corruption.

Bsmooth, I really do understand where you are coming from. I feel the same way. But, I voted (absentee) for McCain because while he is not the answer, Obama definately is not the answer. Lesser of 2 evils, yes. But, I can't see voting for Bob Barr even though I agree with about 85% of what he says. Right now, a third party isnt going to work as much as we ALL would like it to.

I honestly believe that McCain is not there to feed his own greed. He is very well off. I just wish he would do what he said in the "make them famous" speech, and name the reps and senators who added all the pork to the bailout. As for being genuine, I believe that McCain is more genuine than Obama. Its a sad state when Republicans have to choose their last choice, and Democrats have to choose a guy who isn't a Republican. But, its these two who have a chance. One says that he wants to lower the scale of government (somewhat) and another who puts his faith in the ability of government to fix everything.

That's really what it comes down to. If McCain gets in, and expands the government even further, I really believe that with the anger over the economy, the people could rise up, and demand an impeachment. If Obama gets in, and increases government, they could demand impeachment all they want, but we all know it would never happen. The fact of the matter is this...Whoever wins the election will be the one who has to see this economic crisis out. What led up to it is argueable, and irrevelant. Bush came in, and the economy was strong. The Democrats took control of Congress in 2006, and whoever was responsible, it all went to shit. Who did what doesn't matter anymore. I just want it fixed. Now. I'm sure you do too.

My point is that we need a president who will not grow the government. We need one who will scale back what is there. McCain has promised to do that. Obama has promised more regulation. You have one or the other to choose from if you want your vote to matter. Bob Barr and Ralph Nader have no chance and everyone knows it.
