Sarah Palin = Power Abuser

Filed under: Politik > Sarah Palin

palin2__opt.jpg

Someone's looking like a hypocrite!

According to reports, a bipartisan committee of Alaska legislators (so, BOTH Republicans AND Democrats) voted 12-0 on Friday to release a report that revealed Veep candidate and current Alaskan governor Sarah Palin violated state ethics law "by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper."

Here it is in a nutshell:

Even before Sexy Sarah was nominated to be the Republican Veep candidate, an inquiry was kicked off to look into her dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, who said he lost his job because he resisted pressure to fire her ex-brother-in-law.

Sexy Sarah has said Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute.

Well, the report released on Friday said two important things. First, Monegan's firing was lawful. But, the pressure Palin and her husband put on him, was not.

You, like us, may be wondering what the heck does her husband, a non-elected, unofficial player have to do with this?

Well, check this out!

The report notes a few instances in which Sexy Sarah pressed the case against trooper Mike Wooten, but it was her husband, Todd, who led the charge to get 'em.

Todd Palin had extraordinary access to the governor's office and her closest advisers and he used that access to try to get Wooten fired. Sexy Sarah knowingly "permitted Todd to use the Governor's office and the resources of the Governor's office, including access to state employees, to continue to contact subordinate state employees in an effort to find some way to get Trooper Wooten fired".

Hmmmm. Using public office to advance a family vendetta?

And, allowing a family member to use tax payer supported resources to do so?

It seems more crony than maverick to us!

Not right, don't you think?

Scary thing is, during the Veep debate, Sexy Sarah said that she wanted to (unconstitutionally?!) EXPAND the powers of the Veep office should she be allowed in there.

Imagine that!

    Re: uraPIGperez – love how all the democrats start calling us names when u have no answers left….

    I don't make things up as a I go along. That's more your thing. I can back myself up with fact which I suspect is something your irrrational mind is not capable of based on your previous posts. Sorry about thinking you were a man. You're probably used to it though aren't you!

    Since you're criticizing Vengance in your most recent ridiculous rambling, I'll step on this too. It is a fact that the Obama gave money to Acorn. And it is a fact that Acorn has turned up many dead or falsified voters. So, to insist that Vengance is "seriously delusional" in that assertion, is not only ridiculous, it's quite misinformed. If you want to be cute and funny, you're failing miserably and come off looking like a moron. You're an insult to intelligent women.

    GA_Dawgette [309] says: - she misjudged the guy…just like obama misjudged rev. wright, and ayers, and rezco….
    ————————————–
    Grab a brain. Rev. Wright is a senile old man now, and if you had half a brain, you would recognize that Barack Obama is being loyal to a senile old person that he has know for many years. And when Obama met William Ayers, he was the Professor of Education at the University of Illinois. If Ayers was such a major threat to national security, why did the government give him a Teaching License? When Obama met Tony Resko, he was at Harvard University. Obama is responsible for his own actions; not for the actions of other people. Just because Obama knows them, or even does business with them, is not proof that he did anything inappropriate himself.

    Oh you know Todd "First Dude" Palin will be the one calling the shots if McCain dies in Office and this bimbo gets to be President. I'm sure this snowmobile racer who wanted Alaska to withdraw from the United States will love the power knowing his finger will control the nukes.



  5. 305

    Re: uraPIGperez – so if there is nothing wrong with these people why did obama immediately denounce and/or lie about knowing them as soon as a hint of scandal came up…instead of asserting his belief that "they are all reformed" and "aren't a danger anymore" or that rev. wright is just a senile old man…



  6. 306

    Re: GA_Dawgette – Please show me where he denounces his white ancestry…..and if you mention those misquotes from his book, that will shoot down your pathetic argument. Those misquotes have been proven false time and time again.
    .
    .
    Bottom line is….Falin ABUSED her power. She could've gotten rid of the trooper through legal means, and she chose NOT to do it. Is that REALLY the kind of woman you want one heartbeat away from being president?!?!
    .
    .
    Also….you repubes really need to stop with this arab/muslim shit. The fear vote worked for bush in 2004……it will not work this time. Did we all forget the deadliest terrorist attack on the US before 9/11 was DOMESTIC?! April 19, 1995….the oklahoma city bombing. 168 people…dead. 19 were children. Who committed that bombing? Americans…Timothy McVeigh & Terry Nichols. McVeigh was an irish catholic. So, should we look at all irish catholics as future terrorist?! So spare me with the fear….it won't work with anyone with half a brain.

    Re: GA_Dawgette

    Good one. Yeah, I'd love an answer to that too. Why did Obama make different comments about Wright and Ayers from one interview to the next. Why wouldn't he just come out with it if there was nothing to hide?

    Obama is not a terrorist. Surely you have enough brains not to believe the McCain propoganda out there. He's intelligent, sincere and would be a dedicated leader, unlike the McCain/Palin/(Todd) Palin ticket….now that really would be terrible for the country if that trio of fools got in.



  11. 311

    Re: uraPIGperez

    You really shot down that suggestion I made that you are foolish with your most recent statement. Way to elaborate your point! I'd be happy to discuss anything with GA_Dawgette. Both articulate and intelligent. You know anything about that uraPIGperez?



  12. 312

    Her brother in law was a jerk and deserved to be fired. End of story. Todd Palin was only helping out his wife and them danged dumbocrats just don't get it. So what if there wer 10 republicans on teh panel. They wer just dems in republicans clothing.
    She's governur. She has a right to protect the streets frum her abusiv ex-brother in law!!! You whiners saying she should respekt due process are just terrorist lovers.

    About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death by machete-wielding members of a mob numbering 2,000.
    -
    The 2008 New Year Day atrocity in the Kenyan village Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi, had all the markings of the Rwanda genocide of a decade earlier.
    -
    By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.
    -
    The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election.



  14. 314

    Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30. Mr. Odinga was a member of Parliament representing an area in western Kenya, heavily populated by the Luo tribe, and the birthplace of Barack Obama's father.
    -
    Initially, Mr. Odinga was not the favored opposition candidate to stand in the 2007 election against President Mwai Kibaki, who was seeking his second term. However, he received a tremendous boost when Sen. Barack Obama arrived in Kenya in August 2006 to campaign on his behalf. Mr. Obama denies that supporting Mr. Odinga was the intention of his trip, but his actions and local media reports tell otherwise.
    -
    Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama's six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies. In contrast, Mr. Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president on Aug. 25. "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials," Mr. Obama announced.



  15. 315

    Re: whatupperez1 – thank you! its refreshing to hear that…



  16. 316

    President Kibaki requested a meeting of all opposition leaders in early January in an effort to quell the violence. All agreed to attend except Mr. Odinga. A month later, Mr. Kibaki offered Mr. Odinga the role of prime minister, the de facto No. 2 in the Kenyan government, in return for an end to the attacks. Mr. Odinga was sworn in on April 17, 2008.
    -
    Mr. Obama's judgment is seriously called into question when he backs an official with troubling ties to Muslim extremists and whose supporters practice ethnic cleansing and genocide. It was Islamic extremists in Kenya who bombed the U.S. Embassy in 1998, killing more than 200 and injuring thousands. None of this has dissuaded Mr. Obama from maintaining disturbing loyalties.



  17. 317

    Obama is just dreamy isnt't he. How could you not fall in love with the man. He's everything.



  18. 318

    Re: LordKain

    You don't even have to look to his book. Look at his legislation and comments. This man is not a unifier. He has voted against giving Hispanics increased rights during his Illinois State Senate term. Hispanics are the largest growing group of people in this country. He's affiliated with Reverend Wright who is on tape as being both Anti-white and very much Anti-American. His wife when asked in an interview why more African-Americans didn't vote for him over Senator Clinton earlier in the campaign. She said, they'll come to their senses. She also said she was finally proud of this country even though Carol Moseley Braun was the first African-American woman elected a decade earlier from Illinois to the US Senate. She wasn't proud of that. That's insulting. This is is wife and his former spiritual advisor of 20 years. He also called I believe his grandmother a "typical" white person. What it mean to you if I said a "typical" African-American or Hispanic. What does that mean?
    Also Palin got scum off the street and you nor I know the bureauocracy in Alaska. She did what she had to do to stop it. This man tazed a child. Other than that, this report didn't even offer up grounds for punishment, what does that tell you? There is not Arab argument. Only crazy supporters have made those ridiculous comments.



  19. 319

    Re: GA_Dawgette – I believe Sarah Palin is scary a shit, a living proof that in this country any loony can get to have power. But I am more scare that actually know that exist people like you that support the ideals of these people living in the same country I do. Thanks God I know by fact the majority of your people live in the fucking middle of the nowhere, is just scary shit than in 2008 in America you people still exists. You need to catch up with the world and spend some time in evolution. There is only one type of republican I respect and that one is the rich one, cause if I were very rich no doubt i would defend my interests and be a republican. The christian ones, the warmongers, the conservative, the rednecks and those other weird species I consider they don't deserve any respect of opinion cause they are just "out of touch" like their candidate for president.



  20. 320

    lol you stupid Democrat SHEEP.
    You're being fed (incorrect) sound bites by PEREZ HILTON for chrissakes! You're getting your political information from the retard of the blogger world! Do any of you even know anything about Barack Obama other than what you've been taught to chant for the cameras? Break free of the machine people! Think for yourselves! You're letting yourselves be turned into mindless drones just because the face of the party is black and charismatic..if Castro or Stalin were black and hip would you be supporting them too??



  21. 321

    Re: Renfamous – And where do you get your info.. let me guess.. fox lies? Sunday pastor sermon at church? oh no.. I know.. the Bible!! that tell us how to solve it all!! You people are funny as shit, whenever you read something you don't like it's because Bias.. just because it's media.. Who is the sheep here? Your candidates ask you don't even believe in Associated Press, in the new york times!!! one of the most respectable newspapers in America and in the fucking world. Plllleaasseeeeee!!! Who is the fucking sheep here?



  22. 322

    Re: marilow

    No Obama is not a terrorist. There were never any remarks made that he was. But, he is affiliated with one. Barack knew him in the 1990's, that is a fact. In 2001, Ayers did not repent his earlier actions and even suggested more should have been done. How did Barack not know about this? One, he knows and didn't care. Two, he's not responsible enough or willing enough to exam his relationships. He is surrounded by them. Reverend Wright, Tony Rezco, Governor Blajogovich. These people are garbage. His own wife has made far too many inappropriate comments. You are the company you keep. McCain is surrounded by this many cancerous people even if you take his wife and spritual advisor out of the equation, come on!
    How do you know Barack would be a great leader? I'm from Illinois. I have experienced his leadership being in his district and him being my US Senator. The man has done nothing to prove he is a leader. No significant legislation, no nothing!!!!! He wasn't even regarded as a leader in the Illinois Democratic Party up until his US Senate Term and what does he done there. Nothing!! And you're worried about McCain/Palin. Give me a break!



  23. 323

    You BETCHA I'm not voting for this twat.



  24. 324

    Re: erhg74

    You're candidate for President is a joke. He's affiliated with Reverent Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezco, Governor Blaygovich, and the list goes on. He has no foreign relations experience and he has how much experience in the US Senate? And it's nice that you don't respect people in middle America. You really hate hardworking people with morals. Why would they want your respect any way? They are Republicans because they believe in patriotism. Obama criticized our troops and minimalized what they were doing overseas. These people have chidren fighting in that war. Obama has voted four times to support partial life abortion legislation. Many religious people don't believe in abortion. So, if someone is patriotic and anti-abortion, not to mention they value national security and someone with better affiliations, why wouldn't they vote for McCain. He may not represent their conservative viewpoints, but Barack Obama sure doesn't. I have never heard such a ridiculous and snobbish comment. Something isn't right in your head.

    RIGHT-WING WORLD: FOREVER WAR

    In Right-Wing World an alternate, fantasy universe Americans are winning the war but cant come home because coming home would involve a time table for withdrawal. A time table would hearten our enemies, who would rise up as we left. Then we wouldnt be winning the war. So we have to stay there forever winning the war.

    Only in Right-Wing World.

    RIGHT-WING WORLD: BILL AYERS

    In Right-Wing World - an alternate, fantasy universe - Americans are expected to think an important issue of this campaign is a misguided hippie who planted bombs without hurting anyone 40 years ago, has since become a college teacher, and was never convicted of a crime.

    Meanwhile, Americans are NOT expected to be angry at the Republican Party in power, their mouths stuffed with cookies while the economic jar is empty.

    Only in Right-Wing World.

  30. 330

    Re: erhg74 – but ayers said he wished he had done more.
    When people are convicted of conspiracy for murder or attempted murder and then express regret that they didnt get to hurt anyone further, they get classified as unremorseful and are flagged as a danger … Bill Ayers wasn't repentant of what he did, and he actually said he wished he had done more…seems like he might be a danger in the future…say when his good buddy obama might be in power in the white house …seems like ayers might just be biding his time….



  31. 331

    Re: GA_Dawgette – You are such a disgrace to intellect. Please don't direct any post to me, it's embarrassing. I don't bite in the fear vote. I believe in rumors neither in senseless conspiracy theory. Oh do believe in one more alarming than the one you suggest. I do believe Bush lied about 779 times in order to achieve send our troops to Iraq so he would proceed with an agenda that would economically favor people around his circle. I do believe in that conspiracy theory just because it's documented in many places and there were a moment that congress considered even if they should run an investigation to this allegations. I think that's more alarming, I can draw a parallel between this woman ABUSE OF POWER and some of the proceedings of our current president. I don't believe in the fear vote. Yet when 9/11 I was more than present cause I was living in one of the city affected and yet both of those cities vote for the democratic party and it's going with Obama. Save your rants to the Palin rallies your toothless mouth might spill some of that ignorance on live tv so you can be corrected on live by your same candidate who is aware that is going to loose the elections.

    All this debating is funny. Both candidates and VP picks are an insult to us. Why do we as a nation keep voting for incompetent war mongering pieces of crap? The fact is, both candidates are weak and we will be screwed no matter who takes office. We need more viable parties to choose from. These two clowns are a disgrace. And Palin, holy crap, Dan Quayle anyone? She's a right wing nutcase. Biden is the only one who seems somewhat normal and I'm being nice. Nothing will change. And the idolizing of these people is sickening. They're all corrupt. They're all power hungry. And none of them could give a shit about us "little people". Sad.

  49. 349

    Though the Weathermen proper never killed anyone other than themselves, their intent was obvious. Had they been better at building bombs, murder was just around the corner. Ayers and Dohrn and their fellow Weathermen plotted mass murder. The bomb that killed their own was an anti-personnel nail bomb with the purpose of killing and maiming innocent people. It’s as simple as that. They are no different than Timothy McVeigh, except that McVeigh managed to kill more people than the Weather Underground did. No different than any other terrorist - domestic or otherwise. Obama is a fool for letting himself be involved with such creeps like Ayers, Wright, Phleger, Rezko, al-Mansour, and Odinga. Anyone willing to turn a blind eye to that laundry list is a fool too. McCain is a cupcake compared to this thug.

    Rogue leaders around the world are licking their chops at the thought of an Obama Presidency. Obama is weak and can easily be manipulated by the likes of Ahmadinejad, Chavez, and Putin surrogates. They will take anything they want and all Obama will do is look to the UN for guidance. He will be weaker than Clinton. Obama is more interested in polishing the American image than protecting our interests. The damage he will do both domestically and internationally will take years to undo. McCain may not have the best ideas but he won't give up the farm like Obama will. Just look at what the prospect of an Obama term has done to the stock market. They're already discounting the perceived future. Obama is not the answer. We still have time to get it right. Just say no thanks to Mr Hope, take your change and leave America alone.



  56. 356

    Re: SquirrelLives – Or maybe the world is breathing a sigh of relief knowing that maybe, just maybe, we'll have a Pres who doesn't lick his chops at the thought of war and murder. I don't think they see him as weak. I think they see him as someone who won't plunge us and other nations intop illegal wars. He's not a war monger and republicans don't understand that. War, war, war. Fear, fear, fear. It seems to ignite them and it works.

    Just a thought ;)

    Re: vengance – yawn** I have an idea. I government before running their war agenda and international conflict should make sure to increase taxes of anyone who is registered as a republican. I don't support any war and I am pretty damn sure I might pay 3 times more taxes than you do. You people who live in this conspiracy scifi, you peolple that love so much reckless killing overseas for no reason whatsoever, then you should pay for it and exactly where every republican hates the most, right in the pocket. With higher taxes.

    I believe in a nation that socially evolute, a productive nation, a peace maker nation, a place for freedom, a place to make life better every day and make it a better place for our future generations and no one of it gets achieve by conservatism, by enriching the already rich, by christian ultra right agenda, by display of power. It's only achieve by hard work, more education, better health system, paying taxes, possibility for everybody and ACCEPTANCE. So we can evolute. And you know what is evolution = CHANGE. So I vote for Obama as many other millions that are going to make him our next president and this country is going to be so great that you people are going to be evicted from power from the next 50 years.

    Re: _Alice_ – That's hilarious. But, you're right. Putin and the like are certainly breathing a sigh of relief. They won't have someone that will stand up to them like McCain would. The threat of retaliation is what keeps nations like that honest. If they have no fear, they will take advantage. Obama lacks the judgment and discernment needed to be top dog on the world's stage. People forget, it's not our image that protects our interests abroad, it's our might.

    Re: SquirrelLives – Hey, I was just throwing a thought out there. No need to be rude.
    I know a lot of people, repubs and dems, that disagree with you. We are not the world police. And we are laughed at. We are not feared in the way you think we are. We're feared because we do what we want, when we want. We answer to no one and that scares people. If you think that's good, well, then you are the type of person I can't talk to. You ever heard of peace? You like war? Hey, then by all means, elect McCain. I'm just glad my hubby got out last year. The thought of him dying for Bush and his desperate want of oil, is disgusting. And McCain is no different. I don't think badly of you. I don't want to insult you, so I will say goodnight. I think differently than you but I will not stoop to the insults that some of you are throwing out. It's demeaning and rude.

    Palin's trooper brother-in-law abused his power when he tasered his stepson, drank in his patrol car, and made death threats against his ex-wife's father. A trooper should not be allowed to keep his job - and his gun - when he's making death threats. Should Sarah Palin have sat around and waited for her sister to become another Stacy Peterson? It's outrageous to me that this guy still has his job.



  65. 365

    Re: CaraC – thank you!! someone else who shares my point of view about this. If it had turned into a stacy peterson thing then they would be saying that Palin can't do her job bc she just let the courts handle the guy….and that she didnt do enough

    Re: _Alice_ – You're right, I'm one of those people you don't want to talk to. I never said I like war, and please don't misrepresent my words. However, I'm not afraid of war. I didn't like the idea of going into Iraq but that's yesterday's news. Can't cry over spilled milk. What's done is done. But we can't be afraid to go to war again if necessary. Up to now, that was always understood by the rest of the world. I fear Obama will castrate us.

    Re: SquirrelLives – Fair enough. But after reading through some of your posts, I know that arguing with you is pointless. You can't change my mind and I can't change yours. My problem is when people get attacked on here personally. I can't stand either of our candidates. I dislike Obama as much as I dislike McCain. The only difference I see is that one is very wanting of war and the other is not. But I also know that I could be wrong with that theory. My problem with some of the people on here, is that they are neither aware or open to the fact that their candidate is wrong. I can't believe that people are idolizing these people. I don't understand the blindness. To me, everyone seems to have party blinders on. They can't see beyond the party lines and accept everything their candidate says as fact. It's strange to me. No one questions and all is okay. It's scary. Are we all sheeple? Are we all comatose? When will we have a government that gives a shit about us? Will we ever answer for our wrongdoings?

    If people really think that these candidates care about us, then I think we're all asleep. We need better choices. And we need a government that actually gives a shit. We need a "tea party". NOW.



  71. 371

    Re: _Alice_ – I know what you mean about the attacks on here. I don't take the bait and try not to go there. I agree with how partisan everything is but this is how it gets during elections. This has gone on forever and people are fatigued and have no patience with the other side. I think there's extreme frustration on both sides, one side hates Bush and the other is mad because they're constantly being labeled racists for questioning Obama. It's getting old and I'll be glad when it's over. McCain wasn't my first choice and I'm very disappointed in his campaign. What's done is done and I have to live with him. He's got my vote. If you read my posts, you know where I stand. I don't go on hearsay and do my homework.



  72. 372

    Re: SquirrelLives – You do do your homework. I know that. I just wish we had better choices. I guess I live in a bit of a fantasy world. Oh well, a girl can dream…..

It seems the ran while about out of talking points and constructive ways to debate about the issues. They have been 2 weeks non stop bashing and creating fear in the redneck America. You can watch it everyday on tv. It sounds to me that they do know that by talking about the issues they are not going to get anywhere just because they ran out of possible solutions that only benefits already rich portion of our America.

    wow it's a shame that people commenting on this website are actually going to support a republican ticket this year. bush has a 70% disapproval rating, can barely put sentences together and you feel a self proclaimed "hockey mom" with no real political knowledge is going to improve our situation.
    i'm actually hysterically laughing, you must be a complete idiot to vote McCain/Palin. once McCain dies of cancer (probably within the next two years) your going to be stuck with someone WORSE than bush.. can you believe that republicans?? can you? the president you elected to office has royally fucked our country and you're going to sit and watch it happen for another eight years. seriously, you make me sick.
    i hope you reply to this– please do, i would love to hear your opinions on obama, and how's he's a terrorist planning to kill us all. please, give me more lies to listen to, i love it.



  82. 382

    in the mean time think about how incredibly INSULTING it is to women that Palin was elected to VP. there are so many smart, strong, women politcians out there and the republican's decided that since democrats want a "woman" in the white house– that this one would suffice. PLEASE TELL ME YOU THINK THIS IS OK. please, if you're a women voting republican this year, please tell me how you are NOT insulted by this political scheme. i'm offended as a woman, as a voter, and as a citizen of this country. i hope people voting for McCain Palin seriously think about the consequences that would follow their inauguration into the white house.

I could write the same thing in 3 different languages, bet you believe is a myth the existence of other languages and cultures aside ours.



  84. 384

    Re: sfraioli – You are asking too much. This is for you as an American woman realize how ill is our country right now. How sick is the right wing political agenda that stopped time in some sector of America propagating church and the called so strong moral values. Demonizing intellect to the point that they do not feel offended. Instead they feel proud , motivated and identified with values that the sick witch named Palin portraits. My jaw drops every time I hear this woman talking on and say out loud the things she say and I feel nothing but embarrassment cause this is not only seen by us but the rest of the world. Way to go for us to gain respect and trust from other nations and be looked up as the country we are.



  85. 385

    Do you guys even know the name of the trooper in which palin is accused of abusing power to get him out? you guys are so quick to judge without even reading/knowing or researching the facts. this trooper was under ivestigation prior to palin becoming governor. he was under investigation for: drinking beer in his police car while on duty and using a taser on his son….um, yeah sounds like an asshole that needed to be released of his duties. Although the panel found that she misused her power, it was because she didnt prevent her husband from trying to get involved (have you ever tried to stop your significant other from doing something, yeah not so easy). The panel's report shows that the inquiry was partisan and that Palin and her husband, Todd Palin, were "completely justified in their concern regarding Trooper Wooten, given his violent and rogue behavior." so suck it!!!
    this does not mean i am voting mcain, it just means i read the news before i bitch and moan about it.



  86. 386

    Re: _Alice_Re: SquirrelLives
    That is the kind of adult discussion that is actually good to see. Not that this site is a serious one, but the points being argued are.
    Not that what I think means much, but honestly thank you for addressing eachother like grown-ups, and not like kindergartners with filthy mouths.
    Now, for what the article is about.
    Ms. Palin was being investigated for abuse of power. What drove her to do it might have been something that most of us would have probably done. However, the reasons are not in question. The actions are. I would have probably done the same thing if I knew there was someone abusing his power. Again, we only hear what the media wants us to hear. I wish there was truly an unbiased media. Unfortunately for us, I don't think there is. "Alice" was right. There are a lot of people with party blinders on. The constant bickering and denigrating of eachother is ridiculous. Both candidates have really positive and negative attributes. Both are far from perfect as well.
    One other thing. I loved how McCain set a woman straight at his rally. And while it is perfectly okay to disagree with someone even be frustrated at their position, it is uncalled for to be disrespectul.

    Sarah is the best thing that ever happened to American women with brains. The ones that do not see the obvious positive effects are just oblivious and are lacking common sense.

    Re: The Radical Queen
    I lost what could have been an excellent point, in all the caps and insults. Yes, GA_Dawgette made what could be interpreted as an ethnically prejudicial statement. Calling her names however, not good for YOUR credibility. I think most people are still afraid of the "what if's". Even if Obama is of Arab descent, it doesn't mean that he will single handedly destroy us. In fact, McCain actually corrected a woman on that at one of his campaign rallies.

    Like I wrote earlier, this site is not serious but some of the issues are. A lot of what I see here actually resembles what I see on the "serious" political blogs too. It's pitiful really.
    I liked what you had to say though, and you might have been trying to annoy the "Idiotic Right-Wing Nazis". However, it becomes serious when ignorance drives someone make statements that can be ethnically prejudiced.
    Other than that, hey I think both sides are doing great in annoying the crap out of eachother.

    Mr. Perez,

    Can anyone say " Bill Clinton, Blowjob & INTERN" Isn't that an abuse of power??? lol!

    I have to ask though? What is it that makes you milktoast liberals so afraid of one woman? She is the Govenor of Alaska you know? I just haven't quite pinpointed what makes lemming bubble gum democrats like yourself get your feathers so ruffled? I mean people…come on I'm soo over this….the VP job is like a pageant position. She perfect for it?Even a dote like you Perez could be the Veep. I think the hollywood peeps are just jealous…..YES THATS RIGHT JEALOUS!!!

    She's Hot and Cool, Thats why!!! She's hotter than Hilary and closer to being President!!!! ah ha!!!! Thats it!!!and the democrats seem to think they corner the market on cool…becuase democrats think they are better than republicans….don't beleive me. Go ask one. Then comes along a hot little conservative Governor from Alaska. She makes their blood boil. ENVY is a deadly one PH… get over it! If MCcain Loses we'll see her again in 2012…you know you can't wait ;)

    PS My elction prediction is coming soon. I know you all can't wait!!

    Actually what the cop did is the entire reason for this whole escapade so I'd consider it something important to concentrate on. Not to mention that Sarah palin was Exonergated go look it up if you're not sure what that means.
    -
    Secondly McCain is a hell of a lot more honest than Obama…I don't see Obama coming out about his Terrorist ties or the Millions he received in donations from Terrorist organizations during a time when we are AT WAR AGAINST TERRORISM. Yes I sure do hope the majority of the population is smart rather than stupid enough to vote for a man with so many ties to terrorism who's never had any experience making any decisions let alone running a country. Vote No in the Senate 130 Times and Vote No For NoBama!!!



  98. 398

    Re: supastyln
    You're generalizing…
    I'm a registered Democrat, yet I don't think I'm better than anyone else. Whether I agree or not with your opinions, it doesn't make me better. You're right though, some people fear Ms. Palin, but I don't think it's entirely out of envy. Personally, I think she has qualities that can be admired. However, there are things she stands for that I may not agree with. Which is fine, that's what voting is for right? It doesn't mean I will denigrate the woman though.
    As far as Bill Clinton goes. HELL YES. That was abuse of power, and it was disgusting. Even if Ms. Lewinsky was a willing participant. A perfect example of how some people are prone to abuse it.



  99. 399

    Re: uraPIGperez
    Actually Rev Wright was Obama's "Spiritual Leader" as Obama called him for 20yrs, but since you need to make up excuses for Obama's Lack in judgement you call the Rev a senile Old Man.. Just further proving the point that Obama has some serious lack of Judgement, not to mention again that he's never made a decision his entire time in the senate…why would anyone think differently if he made it into the white house?? Presidency isn't a training ground to gain experience, it's something you should already have..I think Hillary Clinton said that best.
    -
    Secondly Ayers having a teaching license doesn't make him any less of a threat, there are many educated Terrorist out there and it doesn't mean that just because they have an education they are any less Evil. And lastly I'm sure you've heard the saying YOU CAN MEASURE THE CHARACTER OF A MAN BY THE COMPANY HE KEEPS, thats exactly why all his ties to terrorist, biggot, racist, and radical friends is important because they influence him and the decisions he will make for this country.



  100. 400

    Re: arrora – Actually Palin was _not_ exonerated. Either you're misinformed or a really poor liar. She was found guilty of Ethics Violations - guilty of abuse of power.
    .
    It's like this: a married man goes into a whorehouse in Nevada… he hasn't broken the Law but he has violated the ethics and spirit of his marriage. Palin has whored out her power in unethical practice(s).
    .
    If her ex-brother in law was/is guilty of any or all of the things he has been accused of, that should be taken up honestly, ethically, and with due process, not in the sloppy, power-abusing way the Palins pulled.
