CNN

It is really important to get as much information about Ms. Palin as quickly as possible so that the electorate can vote based upon information and not just hype. The Republicans were horrified at some of the statements by Rev. Wright. .... How about looking at the statements being made by Palin and her past and present ministers in their churches. Do we have to hear again that Israel is being (and should be) punished for the crucification of Jesus by the Jews? That's a 2000+ year old lie!

Dealing with the reality of having a developmentally disabled child is hard for any family. It is no wonder that Ms. Palin was unable to talk about her pregnancy for 7 months and then never told her own children that the baby had Down's Syndrome until they could see it with their own eyes. She gave herself and her "Dude" time to deal with this difficult reality. How much time did she give her daughter to deal with HER pregnancy before exposing her to the world and making her the most famous (infamous) pregnant teenager in all of history? What kind of mother exposes her child to that?

I am not a Christian, but my own ethical and religious values are offended by this woman. She is NO Hillary!!!!! Her views represent only a small segment of conservative voters and Hillary supporters would make a mockery of everything she stands for if they vote for Palin.

man oh man... I just can't help but think that all this hand wringing over the Dems losing their chance to save our country will come down to Obama's lack of foresight and dare I say 'judgement' to dis Hillary so obviously, and not even offer the veep to a candidate that won just shy of half the votes. If we lose... it is HIS fault. Well.. his, Pelosi's, Reid and Deans fault, for picking a liberal effete instead of a populist.

McCreepy deserves a LIAR like SaraMae Clampett...er...Palin, as a runnin' mate. Yee Haw!!

“So Sambo beat the b__ch!”
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.

My family is to important to me to elect Mccain/palin this Abuse of power is much of concern. Republicans have a problem with being honest before the American people so I suggest the American people need to slow down and look closely at this Palin because of Mccain age is 72 Sarah Palin had lied serveral of times. I understand that she is a women on Mccain ticket but please think smart !!!

Wow I just learned of and watched this video of Palin at church. She is straight up crazy. Now I know you NeoCons need a hero, but are you sure you want to put you trust in Palin? Politics aside for a moment; does this disturb you that she believes that the world will emplode and the only safe place will be Alaska. Sounds kind of Cult memberish to me folks. The question I have is she mentally stable? I don't wish death on McCain and I hope he lives to see 100 yrs old but he is up there, he has had some medical issues. That means this Extremist Palin could be our President. I have an serious issue with that. I mean, what is the difference between a Christian Extremist and Muslim Extremist? None. They are both whacky. If they get elected, I might surrender my US Citizenship because I don't want to be close to the United States if that mentally unstable person, Sarah Palin get's anywhere near the White House. And how do you who live in Alaska deal with this nutt? Are you that desparate Alaskians that you chose her to be your Govener? I mean you do have 600,000 folks and that was the best you could do. Wow

We want a bridge to the future, not a bridge to nowhere.

Obama 08!

A blind man can see that she had involvement in trying to get the trooper discharged. If she thought he was wrong ad she had faith in Alaska's personnel system she would have stayed completely clear of the investigation and trusted their findings. Instead she, her husband, and her staff continuously intervened to try to influence his discharge. Politics as usual. Of course, the findings of the investigation into her actions won't be made public until after the November election. Wait & see!

Lets hope they get her, she needs to be brought down on her knees also so does Grandpa, she does nothing but cling to his coat tail.

The Clampett's on parade...
MAYBE it's better to let people think you're a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

So... this is the woman McCain maintains is the right person to join him in Washington?

The "War is God's plan", "There's no Conflict of Interest in trying to get your sister's ex- fired", "I sold the jet on eBay for a profit", "It's better for my daughter to get pregnant than be taught about birth control", "I'm fighting Big Oil by trying to open the north shore for drilling" woman whose only foreign affairs experience is being Canada's neighbor?

I cannot believe the maniac fringe that think Palin would be a great VP. I have read that some of her (idiot) supporters don't care if she cannot answer questions on foreign policy and other items, and think basically anyone could handle this job. Tell ya what oh mindless ones, I was always interested in biology, so if you need heart surgery why not come on over and I will pull out the steak knives.

If McSame and his buddy win look for a surge in Americans moving to Canada. For the first time I look for many to doubt their pride in America. The dumbing down of America has been a total success.

That's fair. Draw and quarter her. Then have the trial. There is only one small problem. At least one of the lawyers for a "person of interest" questions the authority of the inquisitor.

Apparently nobody is cooperating with the inquisitor. Branchflower and the legislature seems to think subpoenas will elicit responses.

All I can say is, Palin must have really rained on the legislatures parade.

Now the rest of you non-believers know why Palin is our choice. The legislators miss their graft.

FREE IN LOVIT WHEN ARE YOU LITTLE PEOPLE GONNA STOP HATING? YOUR JUST MAKING IT WORST FOR OBAMA. AMERICA ISN'T GETTING TIRED OF O.B.'S YOUNG HATERS. O.B. TRASHES HIS OWN PARTY (THE CLINTONS). THE REPUBLICANS ARE MORE UNITED. THEY DONT TRASH THEIR OWN PARTY.O.B. HAD A CHANCE TO PICK HRC FOR VP. ,BUT HIS BIAS AGAINST GENDER BROUGHT HIM TO PICK BIDEN. HE TRASHED HRC FOR VOTING IRAQ,BUT SO DIDN'T BIDEN. O.B. AND BIDEN ARE THE BIGGEST FLIP FLOPPERS AND DOUBLE STANDARD CANIDATES I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE CLINTONS SHOULD OF SAID NO THANK YOU O.B. AFTER THE TRASHING HE DID TO THEM. MCCAIN AND PALIN ARE FOR REAL AND DONT TRASH THEIR OWN. GO MCCAIN AND PALIN ,THE REAL CHANGE FOR AMERICA.

Let the truth come out. He is just doing "gods work". Palin has radical views on religion and ethics. What are the republicans offering ?

Thank god for internet bloggers, they stir up things which liars don't want you to know.

Palin is a bigtime liar.If you think she is fit to be the VP.,please have a second thought.

O fcourse the investigations should take place and they should not be investigated by Palin's cronies.

It shows again what a poor process her vetting was. The right wingers can cry all they want about poor Palin being picked on but the truth is the Republicans keep bringing this on to themselves. How come no one can interview her? How come all we see are the pre-packaged speeches?

And someone please tell me how the people who got us into this mess will bring change? With the price of gas, the housing crunch, and the rest of the economic mess, it seems all we have left is change–in our pocket.

People are going to criticize regardless. So what the heck. Everyone has an opinion but it is not the GOLDEN RULE. Hope you remember that. Matter of OPINION. Get it?

The investigation had better proceed unhindered. Anything less would be very suspicious.

PEOPLE THIS IS ANOTHER PRIVATE FAMILY MATTER AND IS NONE OF ANYONES BUSINESS. THIS DOES NOT EFFECT OUR COUNTRY. BEFORE YOU SPEAK YOU SHOULD KNOW THE FACTS AND THE FACT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. SOUNDS LIKE PEOPLE ARE GRASPING AT STRAWS. LOOKING FOR ANY KIND OF EXCUSE GOOD FOR NOTHING. I HOPE IF YOU ARE EMPLOYEED THAT YOUR CO WORKERS WATCH EVERYTHING YOU SAY AND DO MAYBE IT WILL BE USED AGAINST OR WILL IT BENEFIT YOU WHEN IT IS TIME FOR YOUR RAISE. ALL OF YOU SOUND LIKE POOR LOOSERS.

Here's the Big question, Do you all Know who her husband is? From what I've been hearing, he's an OIL MAN!

Research...

THERE are also problems with "PEOPLE OF COLOR" and PA'IN that NO ONE wants to share in the MEDIA – I hear it on the radio STRAIGHT FROM THE MOUTH OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN ALASKA....

EVERY interviewee on CNN, FOX NEW and MSNBC in Alaska NOT of Color. PA'IN has NO DIVERSITY and does not care to speak about how she stands on Civl Rights, etc.!!!

PLEEZ!!!! NO WAY – NO HOW – NO McSAME – NO PA'IN!!!

OBADEN 2008-2016!! YES WE CAN!!

It amazes me how so little comments have been left here about Palins investigations, things we should be concerned about people don't post because they don't want to hear or read the truth. But if you talk about her being a mom and a freaking pit-bull, CNN has to close the commenting because like McCain campaign mangers says.

"This election is not about the issues, it's about style" We are in deep "do do"

With as little as we know about her, in hearing her speak, it sounds exactly like somthing she would do. There is a condesending sarcastic flare of supiority on her part and a big chip on her shoulder.

Sarah Palin = Jim Jones = David Koresh

World will end and John McCain will be the general.

We went to Iraq to disarm their government from WMD's
If the serge did not find the WMD's,
How is it a success???
Oil and War is all I hear form the republicans.
Housing Market Breakdown.
And the same administration that ignored this problem is taking it over. I guess more government intervention is the right answer after all.
Can someone say hypocrites

Vet this subject on the net, and notice just how many conversations were "cc" to Mr. Palin. If it was business only, there would have not been the personal "cc's", just the regular husband/wife chat at the end of each day.

Also, we'll be hearing of Palin's opinion on all of the issues at hand just as soon as the Rovies & McCain tell her what her opinions are.

It seems if you have a negative comment about the Republicans, they try to get you removed. It smacks of censorship, and it's downright scary.

Let God be our witness she too will be caught..

Dads' For

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

If Sarah Palin and Todd Palin are on the campaign trail, who is talking care of the 5-month old with Down's syndrome, the 6-year old little girl, the 15 year old girl, and 17 year old unwed teen?

The guy admitted tazing a 10 yr old and poaching protected wildlife - and, he says he was appropriately punished. The safety director admits Palin never asked/instructed Wooten to be terminated.

Dems, you're not going to be able to bork Palin.

Your candidate is a joke.

You wanna scream abuse of power? What's worse B O's work [with Bill Ayers] on the Annenburg committee [stearing money away from an Algebra group and toward ACORN -– AND stearing 15M to Tony Rezco, or Palin's staff telling the safety director to deal with a nutty trooper on his payroll.

You guys are hillarious.

Palin's trooper problem pales in comparison to her knowledge gap problem. Before the government take over of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was announced, Sarah Palin told a campaign audience in Colorado that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac needed to be downsized because they were costing American taxpayers too much money. She apparently did not know they are private companies. It's this take over that will cost taxpayers billions. She's ready to be president, or even vice president? Goodness, what else doesn't she know? It would probably fill a truck load of McCain campaign briefing books. At least she didn't think Freddie Mac was "MacCain's" brother.

because democrats are controlling the probe, anything negative will not be believed by most intelligent people. due to all the mickey mouse dirt searching and mickey mouse allegations they are coming across as desperate and i for one am very happy. as a former Hillary supporter, it makes me feel good to see Obama scramble. he had his chance, all he had to do was take Hillary as a running mate and it was game over for McCain. good judgment my --

Oh, and with regards to Palin's pastor, if only he would have said "G-d D–n America" then he would have had all you libs backing him up.

Keep trying Dems, you only got 50-some days left to keep reaching for straws.

Obama/Biden –> Say goodbye to America as a superpower. While you're at it, say goodbye to decent health service, income (unless you feel the government owes you or you're a friend of Oprah, AlGore, an actor/actress, or a musician), and national security.

LET GRANDPA MCSAME WITH OLD IDEAS GO RETIRE IN ARIZONA--LISTEN PEOPLE HOW MANY NEW IDEAS COME FROM OLD PEOPLE--LETS LOOK BACK IN HISTORY--CHANGE COMES FROM A FRASH PERSPECTIVE--ITS OBAMA/BIDEN OR POLITICAL SUCIDE

Anyone ever heard the saying.....................

WHERE THERE'S SMOKE THERE'S FIRE?

There are just too many inconsistencies and other gaffes popping up all over the place about SARAH PALIN!

TROOPER GATE.....(Why did Palin, not go through the usual channels like any normal thinking individual? why didn't she charge Wooten with making threats? this would have become a legal case which would be decided in court.)

BRIDGE TO NOWHERE GATE..... (Huge $400million project, Palin used earmarked money for other projects)

THE MOOSE AND TASER INCIDENTS, (yes I agree he should not have done these things) WERE THE ONLY WRONG DOING THAT THEY COULD PROVE, AND THAT IS WHY WOOTEN IS STILL A TROOPER AND THAT IS WHY MONEGAN REFUSED TO FIRE WOOTEN! WOOTEN WAS PUNISHED FOR THE ABOVE WRONG DOING BUT PALIN COULD NOT ACCEPT THAT SO SHE WENT AFTER MONEGAN!

The above are only two of the many questionable items surfacing about Sarah and Todd Palin

Check out You Tube and you will find many more......so YES WHERE THERE'S SMOKE THERE'S FIRE!

No need to fear or slander Palin, she will self destruct without any help.

This group takes dysfunctional to a new level. Exactly nine days after most of us have even heard her name and all this garbage! Honestly, I'm sick of her already.

Sarah Palin, a nther erpublican governor. Remember George Bush. Eiight years of do nothing. Wake up Democrats!

For months the media and Republicans made Senator Obama's life a living HELL. The investigation of Sarah Palin definately needs to proceed. The MSM also needs to report her church's extreme messages over, and over, and over, and over on all the news programs just like you did Rev. Wright.... Fair is fair...

To Anonymous – I would remain anonymous also if I could only blog something as stupid as your comment. Are you Keith Olbernut is disquise?

I cannot believe that Americans can be so stupid to vote for MCCain-Palin after the last 8years!

America doesnt deserve a president like Obama, a man who is humble, honourable, intelligent and above all honest! If you elect that foolish repuclicans it will be your loss and i hope you can live with yourselves for the next 4 years + 8 yrs ( Palin will go for the presidency ).

Footsy

London

Since the repubs have no solutions, they put out a distraction "in lipstick".

Worked, didn't it? That's all we see and hear. Makes me want to puke.

This nation has problems, and they send us distractions. Change? NO – more of the same from repubs.

Please post this CNN

Meet the press

Apparently if she wanted this to go away she should have just had her good friend go and blow the state trooper HQ up? Works for Obama; he's got a good friend who's a terrorist and no one DARES explores that.

What's the matter Dems? Can dish it out (however poorly) but can't take it?

This should have been taken care of by the vetting commitee. What in the world was Mccain thinking? Maybe he wasn't.

I fail to see how the GOP should be surprised that a conviction of illegal activity by Palin would be a bad thing for voters. Do they think this is all a game? McCain should be in full support of this trial coming to a fair and prompt closing. If he put a criminal on his ticket, he needs to know it as soon as possible. I honestly don't see how he could see this in any different kind of light.

Palin is a true-blue Republican! She want to change the venue from the elected legislature to another group – all of whom are her political appointees!

She is against earmarks – after she got hers! She lied about being against the Bridge and nowhere mentions she kept the money anyway!

McCain saw a pretty face, abstinence only, NRA member and fell in love after one meeting ... now the GOP are treating her like a "celebrity" – she gave her 1st interview to People Magazine!

That tells the tale right there ... ignorance can be cured but stupidity goes on forever ... just like the GOP sheeple.....

DEMOCRACY, and the RULE of LAW , will Prevail.
The nerve of those republican CROOKS.....
They still don`t get it .....
We`re SICK and Disgusted with their Unlawful Criminal Ways!!!!
A CHANGE IS A COMIN`....

I hope the dirt really comes out on her ,she just looks to clean..............and when someone looks as if they've done no wrong..........watch out she may be the dark horse that rides the republicans to their doom .

I smell scandal.

Palins church makes Rev. Wright look like a harmless silly man. Palin stood in front of her church and said the Iraq War is God's plan. Then her Pastor say's that Alaska is God's plan for a place of shelter in a soon coming world destruction where only Alaska spared and where hundreds of thousands of people will flee to for refuge. The church with Palin on stage then shows a world destruction video where God spares the chosen Alaska. First, Jim Jones, then, David Koresh, Now, sarah Palin.

PALIN ----- POLITICAL -------- MELTDOWN-----
RESULTS ---------- IN ------– BAKED ----–
ALASKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ----------------------

In the Republican gulag which is Alaska, this is but the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.

Let the chips fall where it may. I'm sure McCain knew about this when he vetted her, but he chose her as his runningmate anyway. I consider that to be bad judgement on his part... but obviously, it's created a great buzz for him, and he considers it a calculated risk.

So typically Republican–try to remove anyone who is telling the American people the truth. The last 8 years have been filled with such evil lies and deceit that it is just too insane for words. I hope we can get our country back on track because if not we will be more than morally bankrupt, we'll be just plain bankrupt. It's amazing that we have gone from a world power to a country who owes CHINA (among others) trillions of dollars while we send trillions of dollars to Iraq to repair the destruction of their country which happened while we were waging a war built on lies. So bad....so sad

Let the investigation proceed. We will find out things in due time. If it happens to be in October, so be it.

To Juan Carlos: no juror would be talking to the press on any trial. Since this isn't really a trial that has a jury, you don't need to worry about that. I would also ask that you not type in all caps and hyphons; it looks childish and a little harder to read.

McCain definitely jumped the gun on this one. Why pick an unknown entity. Did he not think there might have been some skeletons in her closet? Did he not wonder how she moved up so fast with no experience except running a town of 9,000 people? Heck, I could do that myself. This really shows poor judgment on McCain's part. Do we want him making decisions for ypu? I think not!!!

Please tell me who is running for president Palin or McCain? She in the press 3 times as much as he is.

The trooper should have been fired, he has a long record of very bad decisions and should not be a state trooper. Did you see his interview stating that tazzing the 9 yr old was surely not one of his best decisions????? Give me a break! Get rid of this guy.

Pick up your chin Palin, no not that one, the other one!

she will bring mccain down, without the obama campaign having to do anything. that's why his focus will stay on mcsame, mcbush.

Who is Sara Palin –

Before you swing/undecided cast your vote, here is something you better consider –

She was elected Alaska's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has ABSOLUTELY no foreign policy experience.

Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.

She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000.

Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.

She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.

She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.

How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.

......and she's STILL under investigation for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan when he refused to sack her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper involved in a custody battle with her sister, abusing her position as governor.

With the economic and national security stakes this high....you would think a decision this important would have warranted a little more thought.

Do we really need a candidate who allows her personal views to interfere with her job?????

Obama/Biden 08

The whole inside story on Palin can be found by Google ing Anne Kilkenny Palin Email.

What's wrong with her husband? Can he talk? I heard the retarded baby was not hers but her daughters. Is this true?

To: JOE KILOZ and all theo the names you use.

Can't you write like a normal person. What is the point of having the spaces between every letter? Do you thing you are going to get
more attention that way. I don't even read your comments because it looks so stupid. I am sure other people skip your comments as well. It's look idiotic.

Sarah Palin is DICK CHENEY WITH LIPSTICK!! You got to give it to Karl Rove though, he sure knows how to pick a VP for his party. The FEARFUL RIGHT ate it up. America dooped again. The unqualified but hot weather girl. One time, two times, three times fools. Who said they couldn’t do it again? Who said America was smarter this time around? Who said Bush couldn’t win a 3rd term if he ran again?? The FEAR FACTOR always dominates. It’s just amazing that a party who works for 3% of the people manages to fool an entire 51% into believing they work for them too. Amazing. I had an epiphany yesterday watching the TV show Hole in the Wall. We are screwed. We are an Idiocracy.

well,, ms palin, wha comes around always goes around,,, just because u are in a position doesnt not mean you can cover up,,,,(like mccain/bush).. let the investigation preceed,,,,, lets see what this bimbo is about,, she wants to take the bull by the horns,, then suffer the end,, shes just alot of hot air,,, and a distraction right now,, im sure lots of people are impressed with mccains pick of a "woman" but it takes more than a gender to get voted,,

Despite what he has done, Palin cannot abuse her power.

Actually, it's "Pride goeth before a fall."

***************GOV. PALIN THERE IS NO CRYING IN POLITICS*********************
YOU ARE LAUGHING AND POLKING FUN AT THE DEMOCRATICS, BUT WHEN THEY RESEARCH YOUR BACKGROUND AND REALLY FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU STAND FOR (OR AGAINST) WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR THEY ARE ONLY BEING SEXIST.

MAKE SURE YOU CAN TAKE A PUNCH.

I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND HOW COME THAT SHE IS READY TO BE PRESIDENT SOULD SOMETHING TO MCSAME, BUT NOT READY TO ANSWER THOUGH QUESTIONS FORM THE MEDIA. THIS IS SOMETHING THE OBAMA COMP. IS NOT TALKING ABOUT. WHY??????

Truth can be described like this: like oil in water it will soon rise to the surface... for all to see.

When this FARCE is exposed, the republican party will face great humiliation. I hope it lingers until days before the election to eliminate the spin, lies, and damage control that they are so adept at.

"Pride goes before destruction." To my evangelical friends, please tell who wrote these words. I would be SHOCKED if any of you know.

WHOOPS..... let's get tapes of her ALL her Pastor's sermons!!

Not because she's the Governor, there should be no EXCEPTIONS just like her Republican friends.

The investigations should continue after all she is running for the SECOND HIGHEST POSITION IN THE UNITED STATES EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.

I F--–T H I S--W A S--–A ---T R I A L--–W O U L D---

Ever hear of p.... whipped.

Todd Palin: Whipped Man of the Year!

What else would you expect her allies to say?

DUH! Can't wait until the ruling on this one!

MCCain will serve the few, the proud, the LOBBYiST.

For change, expect only one change: name tag replacement

I don't know what's worse, that the Republicans would pick a VP candidate already embroiled in an ethics scandal, or that the electorate is letting them get away with it.
