    Typical republican move..................... Get rid of the democrat in charge. What bullies. They didn't get the memo........that dog won't hunt. This woman's own state doesn't wasnt her representing them as veep. You can't clean up this moose hunting woman.

    Let's see, her infant son was Bristol's son, She belonged to an Alaskan separatist group in the 80's, she had an affair with her husband's Partner, all stories in the national press proven to false contrived garbage.

    Keep it up, how does VP Palin sound?

    Democrats you cannot let this ongoing investigation stop, if you don't you will lose in November. They Republicans likes to play dirty, this is all they know what to do. This woman has a lot in her closet and she has to be exposed before it is too late. Wake up Democrats!!!!!!!

    It looks like new charges need to be filed against a political campaign trying to squelch an "ongoing investigation." It certainly looks partisan when Republican operatives try to remove a Democrat who is investigating a Republican. The news of Sarah Palin trying to have a librarian fired after she refused to censor books in the library, indicates that Mrs. Palin is not above using her power for personal issues.

    You don't like the results, so you fire the person leading the investigation. Tha'ts true Republican politics.
    The only surprise here is, why the Democrats don't show more grit and let them get away with it.

    i don't think this is about pitbulls or lipstick this is about a woman and an administration who think they are above the law and an adminis tration and their mob who can buy their way out of any thing

    All the power and money the McCain campaign has come roaring into Alaska to quell the investigation. Does "Partisan politics on behalf of the investigation" sound familiar to anyone? I think Abramoff and the Bush cronies shrilled that one. Who's really running the position of Governor of Alaska? Sara or Todd? He seemed pretty comfortable intimidating the safety commissioner in the governor's office.

    Sounds like the republicans are trying to spin this and shut down perfectly legitimate investigation.

    REMEMBER ME I REPOTED ACCURATELY BEFROE ALL THE BLOGGERS ON THIS POST AND ANY MAJOR MEDIA OUTLET THAT SEN OABAM WOULD SELECT SEN BIDEN..FACT LOOK IT UP AND GOOGLE IT. HOWEVER i WILL ONLY POST THE FOLLOWING ONLY ONCE!! OBAMA AND BIDEN COULD LOSE IN A LANDSLIDE AND WILL IF THE FOLLOWING DOESN'T CHANGE AND TAKE A LEG UP.! IF THE DEMS DON'T WIN NOW THEY ARE DUMB AND POLITICALLY JUST NOT SMART.
    The politicization of Gov Palin and the bloggers and media stories concerning how different segemnts of the population fell about her the issues concerning her family, etc need to stop. If the liberal press expects any result and push on the Obama front there reporting needs to take a leg up and become more responsible and of a journalisitic quality.
    Observations for Obama to gain more traction which he does not have now he needs to articulate the issues to the audiences he is talking to AS AN EXAMPLE THE Jobs report. The report was awful and it is not enough to say that it is bad and why it is THEY NEED TO TELL THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IN A FEW SHORT SENTENCES( SOUND BITES) WHAT THE HECK THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT. Obama 's economic message is not focused and unclear and the public statements he has made prove it. With the emergence of Governor Palin and the energized base of the Republican party taking hold THE LAST THING THE OBAMA CAMP NEEDS TO DO IS TO FOCUS ON issues that frankly won't result in an outcome within the next several weeks to change anything. EXAMPLE, THE STATE TROOPER ISSUE,Her teeen daughter, Her husband the hunter, etc,etc.
    What they need to do is to focus on their economic message and natinal security. REALLY REIGN IN THEIR surrogates. Anybody see the Michael Moore interview with Laryy King. The Obama team ought to be seething, he said nothing and could not articulate one valid point of either his economic, healthcarea nd or national security platform. The talking heads of the liberal press look like deer in headlights. As the days count down, the oBAMA PEOPLE BETTER CRAFT AN IMAGE of their message so a person making or a couple making $60,000 100,000 can really understand the impact on thier lives and their ability to pay bills and educate their children. All I can say is that they have about 45 days to get this done and i amnot encouraged by what I see and hear.

    I don't identify with her parental skills for several reasons, but one of the most important is the fact she could go on a national stage and rip another person apart to the extent she did - with her children setting just feet from her. The kids did look bewildered at times. They would look at her and then the crowd.

    As parents, don't we want to be role models, don't we want our children to have our values and morals, don't we want their respect...

    These kids can read, think and access the internet...so they know much of what she viciously said were lies.

      What TV have you been watching? Haven't you noticed it's tradition for the families of candidates to be with them at the begining or end of speaches as the candidates are introduced to the nation? It's the first thing that impressed me with Obama, his darling little children and how much they reminded me of the Kennedy kids. Quit the bias, it only makes us look like idiots!

    Here we go again.
    The campaign is less than a week old and McCain is already trying to cover up an investigation. According to some sources, Palin really has nothing to hide. Her ex-brother-in-law is supposedly an all-time creep. (I could say the same thing about my ex-brother-in-law.) So why must we shut down the investigation? Obviously, the investigation will uncover something that neither Palin, McCain, nor the GOP want us to know.
    McCain promised that he would bring about a change. I don't see any change here. It's just another version of the same-old, same-old. The only change McCain will bright is 4 more years of a Bush presidency - only worse - --- MUCH WORSE.
    The American people need to wake up. If they swallow all the lies that McCain and Palin are peddling, - they're as stupid as my ex-brother-in-law.

    Sarah asked, "You know the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull? Lipstick!" My question, "Isn't putting lipstick on a dog, cruelty to animals?"

    • Posted By: oneluckywoman @ 09/06/2008 10:06:02 AM

      Palin didn't mention putting lipstick on a pitbull. She said that pitbulls are different because they don't wear lipstick.

  • Posted By: williamfenimore @ 09/06/2008 10:05:47 AM

    What's the difference between Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin? Lipstick.

    "Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan.".......SARAH PALIN June 2008 ENOUGH!!!!! Church and STATE=BIG PROBLEM




    OOne heartbeat away from the presidency

      Are you saying our Country would be better off without those of us with religious beliefs? That religion will destroy our great nation? Look at our history and you'll find leaders striving to do and be their best because of their belief that they will be held accountable to their God. A Christian's God (and most other religion's Gods) require that we strive to be consistantly righteous -as in doing whats correct, good, outstanding, that we be honest, trust worthy, treat our fellowmen as we would want to be treated. That our actions aren't just for personal gain but also for the benefit of our fellowmen. Reread Palin's quote! All of this is included in her prayer. #1-That those military men and women that are trying to do what's right are blessed (not those trying to do what's wrong). #2- That our Nations Leaders are on a task that is from God- meaning that their intent be righteous (again look up that word if you don't understand it). Take religion out of our great nation??? No, enable the people of this great nation (yes! even our leaders) to continue to believe in what motivates them to strive to be their best. The important thing is our freedom to believe or not to believe in God, not that our religion be taken from us! Palin was obviously speaking in a church, and look at her- much younger! Obviously not within the recent past since she's even been in political offices.

    Remember my post approximately 48 hours before the bloggers and major media outlets I reported that Sen Biden was the VP selection of Sen Obama.
    REMEBER THIS POST CAUSE i WILL ONLY POST THIS ONCE.

    mccain said he was seeking to change washington and the old ways of doing things. yet once again he is supporting the subversion of a legitimate investigation into a government representatives alleged misconduct. how is this different other than it's him doing it? what kind of accountability can we expect from his administration if he subverts justice before he's even in office?

  • Posted By: ALFO @ 09/06/2008 9:49:54 AM

    now that palin has been assimilate,let us now proceed in conquering worlds,at first she was said to be cor operating with the investigation. now she has lawyered up but can't claim executive privilege she seems to conduct herself like a member of bush league justice group that's in the white house now.so 4 more of the last 8 is not a stretch.

  • Posted By: rd73 @ 09/06/2008 9:49:24 AM

    how can the obama campaign sit around doing nothing while these narcissistic bums get away with blatant abuse of power??!!

  • Posted By: christianleft @ 09/06/2008 9:48:18 AM

    Palin put her aide Frank Bailey on leave, PAID leave, now Tod Palin has his own lawyer, who's paying for this lawyer?? I don't believe the alaskans will let the GOP go up there and run their Investigation. I certainly hope not. But then, look what the GOP has done to this country.
