Gov. Palin Has Dirty Hands
Palin’s reformer image is taking a hit last month when she was accused of attempting to get a state trooper fired. That state trooper was her former brother-in-law who had gone through “a messy divorce” with her sister. After the trooper’s boss wouldn’t act on the governor’s request, she fired him. Though Palin says she doesn’t “have anything to hide”lie lie lie! Her claim“ I didn’t do anything wrong !,” An investigation has found that one of her aides pushed the firing: Gov. Sarah Palin revealed an audio recording that shows an aide pressuring the Public Safety Department to fire a state trooper embroiled in a custody battle with her sister. Palin, who has previously said her administration didn’t exert pressure to get rid of trooper Mike Wooten, also disclosed that members of her staff had made about two dozen contacts with public safety officials about the trooper. Palin’s scandal envelops her in the constellation of scandal-plagued lawmakers currently serving in Alaska. Here’s a brief overview: Sen. Ted Stevens: Last month, long-serving Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens was indicted by a federal grand jury “with seven counts of making false statements for failing to disclose” gifts of over $250,000 from the oil services company VECO Corp. State Sen. Ben Stevens (R): The senator’s son, Stevens is being investigated by the FBI for his involvement in “an alleged payment scheme involving fisheries legislation brought by his father.” When VECO’s Bill Allen “pleaded guilty to bribery and conspiracy charges, he stated that almost a quarter of a million dollars in consulting fees paid to the younger Stevens was in fact bribery.” Rep. Don Young (R): Last year, it was revealed that the senior House Republican was “under criminal investigation” involving “possible political favors for a company in Alaska.” In April, Young’s legal fees exceeded $1 million. Last week, Palin placed her boards and commissions director, Frank Bailey, on paid leave while the investigation into the suspect firing In 2006, Sen. Ted Stevens endorsed Palin.

PALIN IS FAKE..........AND A LIAR
Why is a 4 month baby with Down's Syndrome being held up and paraded at every rally like he is a cheap prop? Every time I turn around I see a picture of her, that baby, and McCain somewhere in the background. Now they got the un-wedded father in the face of America. The Republican moral value American value crap ! CANDIDATE! BULL BULL BULL ! LIAR LIAR LIAR! The more I read about this woman's background, the more I see how radical she is. There is no question that most Americans would not vote for her if they knew the truth. We now see that nearly everything they said about her when she was revealed, is a lie. She did not refuse earmarks-she asked for them. She did not battle corruption, she is at the center of several ethics violations herself. It goes on and on. If you are a woman and get raped, she does not believe you should have a right to reproductive choice. Victims of incest either. Now all the McCain camp has to do is continue shielding her from reporters and their questions for 2 months...just trot her out at scripted rallies and then get her back on the bus before anyone can ask her any real questions.

So Sambo beat the ****!” This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination. According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively. “It was kind of disgusting,” Lucille, who is part Aboriginal, said in a phone interview after admitting that she is frightened of being discovered telling folks in the “lower 48” about life near the North Pole. Then, almost with a sigh, she added,“But that’s just Alaska.” Racial and ethnic slurs may be “just Alaska” and, clearly, they are common, everyday chatter for Palin. Besides insulting Obama with a Step-N’-Fetch-It,“darkie musical” swipe, people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’s Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs”– how efficient, lumping two apparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well as the more colourful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative “f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasillians interviewed for this article.

It is amazing how articulate you are in your pure fabrication . Why doesn't anyone talk about the tens upon tens of thousands of dollars of her own personal money that Palin has sent to Africa to feed starving children ? She has given in excess of $120,000.oo of her own money to feed poor black children and nobody seems to care about THAT !

You sir are an idiot, must be from living in Jersey. Sarah Palin's husband is an Alaskan Native. There is no way she would say anything like that about the people of this state. She has nothing but respect for all the people of Alaska.

Barack Hussein Obama and his angry wife are the most dangerous people to ever attempt a White House takeover.
Sara Palin is a breath of fresh air, middle class, areal American, and the next VP.
