Can He Stop 'Troopergate'?

this is just IGNORANCE BEYOND WORDS. First of all, the panel in which the McCain-Palin camp are trying NOW block, derail or delay consists of THREE REPUBLICANS and TWO DEMOCRATS! ARE we to buy into this Attorney for McCain that his panel is "tainted"?? ARE you NUTS? This is EXACTLY WHY the American VOTERS should be outraged. This is NOTHING but a political ploy by the McCain-Palin camp to HIDE the TRUTH before the Election on Nov. 4th!!! WHAT is the McCain-Palin SO AFRAID OF? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING FROM THE VOTERS? WHAT IS Gov. Palin trying to HIDE, she herself stated publicly that she "welcomed the investigation and she would cooperate FULLY". So WHY is she NOW NOT COOPERATING?

This brings SERIOUS DOUBTS as to Gov. Sarah Palin's CREDIBILITY as Governor of Alaska. This clearly proves that she is HIDING something from her own Republican Supporters and the American people as a nation! John McCain should be CALLED OUT on the carpet for trying to CHEAT THE AMERICAN VOTERS OUT OF THE TRUTH regarding his VP pick.

DO YOU THE VOTER WANT THE TRUTH AFTER YOU VOTE or BEFORE YOU VOTE ON NOV. 4TH???

THEN START CALLING YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND WOMEN AND DEMAND THEY FOCUS ON THIS INVESTIGATION AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF CRAP, AND STOP TRYING TO SNOW BALL US!!

WHERE ARE YOUR VOICES????

The Republicans have been in control for the past 8 years, SIX of those years they controlled both the Senate and Congress!!! THEY HAVE DESTROYED THE SURPLUS DEFICIT, THEY ALLOWED THE MORTGAGE MELTDOWN that is going to cost the taxpayers billions!!

Republicans have a LOT of NERVE blaming the Democrats when you have a Republican President vetoing everything on the floor. Don't get it twisted, the Republicans KNOW FULL WELL, it's their own party that has SCREWED THEM ROYALLY!!! They got SCREWED BY THEIR OWN PARTY!! How hard is that to swallow NOW huh? Republicans still continue to blame everyone else except THEMSELVES!!! What hypocrites...it's the pot calling the kettle black!!!

Listen, I'm not trying attack any of you on a personal level, what I am attacking is the idea that we should all vote against our own best interests and that of our families, by allowing the Party which has been seen by the proof as having run the single most corrupt administration in this great nation's history, be allowed another four years to do what?

Don't even bother reminding them about the DEMOCRATIC congress. They work off emotion, not reason, always have. Dems were miserable during clinton, and they will be miserable with the next president. Being miserable blaming whiners is just who they are. There parents should be put to sleep.

My vote, if Sarah Palin and the McCain campaign continue to refuse to cooperate with independant investigators concerning the issues surrounding her, she should drop out of the race until such a time that her legal issues are resolved to the satisfaction of the American people.

I am not saying he deserved it or not, only the results of an honest investigation by a third party can determine that. But, what I am questioning, as is the rest of America, is if she had proper reason to do it and under what circumstances she tried to have it executed. You know there is such a thing as due process under the law. If Sarah Palin is so innocent of wrong doing, which the early results say she is not, why block an investigation that would exonerate you if you are indeed telling the truth?

It is great to see how the Evangelical Party believes in the american system of justice, due process of law. Gives one hope.

And just think, she could be the president.

The reaction simply points to sure guilt. This investigation was going on before she was picked by McCain's party as his VP. Now that she in the limelight, they launch a full scale attack on the investigation in true party style using mafia like muscle tactics to supress the investigation.

This woman's background is full of incidents of abuses of power either to help herself or dismiss her foes.

Gee, really sounds like change to me.

SECRECY ( very Cheney like)

Interviews show that Ms. Palin runs an administration that puts a premium on loyalty and secrecy. The governor and her top officials sometimes use personal e-mail accounts for state business; dozens of e-mail messages obtained by The New York Times show that her staff members studied whether that could allow them to circumvent subpoenas seeking public records.

Rick Steiner, a University of Alaska professor, sought the e-mail messages of state scientists who had examined the effect of global warming on polar bears. (Ms. Palin said the scientists had found no ill effects, and she has sued the federal government to block the listing of the bears as endangered.) An administration official told Mr. Steiner that his request would cost $468,784 to process.

When Mr. Steiner finally obtained the e-mail messages ??? through a federal records request ??? he discovered that state scientists had in fact agreed that the bears were in danger, records show.

???Their secrecy is off the charts,??? Mr. Steiner said.

While Ms. Palin took office promising a more open government, her administration has battled to keep information secret. Her inner circle discussed the benefit of using private e-mail addresses. An assistant told her it appeared that such e-mail messages sent to a private address on a ???personal device??? like a BlackBerry ???would be confidential and not subject to subpoena.???

AIG, Just like a Dem. Need a handout/bailout due to irresponsibility. CLASSIC.

Democrats prefer giving power to the individual and not to the collective.

THAT IS THE MOST INACCURATE COMMENT MADE IN HISTORY. WOW. Democratic policies MIRROR socialist policies, which favor the collective. You are a complete fool for making that statement. Some of us are educated.

This obvious attempt at coverup will only make matters worse for Palin/McCain. They have lost all credibility on this issue of abuse of power and vindictiveness, on the issue of fiscal responsibility (turns out they say "thanks...and thanks again" to public pork), on appropriate Wall Street regulation (independent fact checkers are at work exposing McCain's long held and antiquated anti-regulatory views), and about everything else.

10:49:43, I have to to so will make this very short. You are wrong. Democrats prefer giving power to the individual and not to the collective. Republicans feel that trickle down economics is fantastic because the wealthy rule the collective and they can control the distribution of wealth which in reality is mostly horizontally. Democrats believe if you give a hand up to the middle and lower classes, they can earn more moeny and they will spend it in the businesses owned by the wealthy. Money, they trickles up, rarely down. Democrats are concerned about the plight of the individual, Republicans the situation of the collective hierarchy must be maintained at all cost even if it is done through lies, distortions and dishonor.

I am a Democrat leaning Independent in this election because I am tired of the lies propagated by Bush, Cheney, Rove, McCain, Palin, etc. They will tell any distortion in order to win this election. I am totally turned off by the lack of Palin's experience and by the vicious negative campaign of McCain which is based almost exclusively on lies and untruths which are repeated over and over..

I will vote for a Republican when I find an honest one such as former Representative Leach from Iowa.

The only reason to stop this inquiry is the fear that it will expose Governor Palin's abuse of power and vindictiveness. Opposing the investigation by stating that it is politicized, with the Democrats trying to make Palin look bad, is ridiculous. Whatever facts might come out, they will / should be facts. Either she crossed the line by involving herself directly or indirectly, through her husband or subordinates, or she didn't. Trying to stop the probe only makes her look guilty - regardless of the reasons given. This seems to be her spin on the President's wanting to claim executive privilege when his advisors were subpoenaed to testify in the CIA leak case or over the abuse of power at the Department of Justice. Hopefully, everyone can see this for what it is. While the investigation may be tinged by politics that doesn't mean it is unwarranted. Where there is smoke there may be fire - and the governor may be hiding behind it. Isn't it great that politicians can decide whether or not they should be investigated, how they should be investigated and whether or not they will cooperate? She strikes me as someone used to getting her way and probably can't believe anyone has the nerve to question her. Heads will roll - if she doesn't lose hers first!
