It is easy to see why she would make a great Prez. cause she don't care to stand-up and take on whom ever needs it. Maybe we need her in Washington. Maybe thats why all of the criticism is being too scared and wanting to keep her out.
Lets get tough on her and give Biden a pass, no one will care because she is a woman anyway.

This campaign is about race, plain and simple. ACORN is helping minorities to vote -- and guess what, that scares Republicans. Politically they fear losing elections, but this is about something much deeper.

That she would abuse her power as the governor of a remote state doesn't give voters any forewarning of how she would behave in a higher office, now does it?

She fought against corruption and this is way of paying her back. This brother in law was a bad apple and Palin did the right thing. No laws were broken and it's interesting the media still won't talk about Obama's ties to Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines but find this story so interesting. Raines is a large donor to The Democratic Party including Dodd, Obama, and Franks. Raines fired a whistleblower at Fannie Mae who pointed out the flawed earning reports, and pump and dump schemes so Raines could profit from 174 million in stock options. But Palin's pressure to fire an abusive brother in law is more important news. How sad. As Governor, Palin had the power from the executive branch to fire at will. Funny how the Courant attacks Jodi Rell for not firing Lisa Moody for not breaking the law but violating Rells ethics policy and then put's Plain on the front page for trying to fire a bad apple. What a joke.

Where is the investigation into Obama's affiliation with ACORN, a group known for registering illegal aliens to vote?

Where is the investigation into Obama's affiliation with William Ayers, a man known for wanting to destroy the United States?

Where is the investigation into Obama's affiliation with the managers of Fannie Mae, crooks who gave Hussein's campaign millions?

Where is the investigation into why we can't read the masters thesis of Michelle Obama in which she discusses being around white Americans?

Where is the investigation into which sermons the Obamas hears from Jeremiah Wright, and how often Hussein hears anti-American remarks and did nothing?

Where is the investigation into why Obama doesn't have the American flag on his campaign plane?

Where is the investigation into why Obama keeps saying 57 states, and claims to be a Christian while saying "My Muslim faith".

Where is the comment as to why the south side of Chicago is still a war zone after Obama and Durbin have represented the area?

If you are so outraged, request an investigation about the abuse of power from Sen. Chris Dodds mortgage. Or Franlin Raines profits from Fannie Mae while he cooked the books and Democrats did nothing. An $8 trillion dollar market crash resulting from the failure of Fannie and Freddie and you question Palin. If she didn't attempt to fire him, Liberals would say she kept an abusive man on the payroll. Please!

Who cares - you can't even compare to Obama's ties to terrorists and Reverend Wright - Just the typical way the liberal media trying to deflect attention away from Obama. What a joke and I pity all you people who vote for Obama - we will be in a sorry world.

Question one: Did any one of you actually read the "Troopergate" report?

Question two: Will the "first gentleman" be making any phone calls to appointed officials if she's elected?

Oh wait, I have the answer to that one: You betcha!

This is such a non story.

Its existence is driven strictly by political motivation.

Nothing is ever your fault, is it "Republicans?"

The top five Republican scapegoats:

1. Bill Clinton
2. "Liberals"
3. Congress
4. Bill Clinton
5. "Liberal media"

When your party finally starts copping to the messes and abuses it has created and fostered, then maybe I'll resume voting for your candidates. Until that happens, no one will be surprised by Palin's misconduct.

Well you are dead wrong. This was an alaskan state investigation that was started before palin became a sideshow. It has nothing to do w/ Dems or the election. She is no different than any other politician. She has you fooled.
