Where's the real story on this issue CNN? The report clearly states Gov Palin abused the power of her office for personal gain and violated the public trust by violating Alaska's ETHICS LAWS. She may not have technically violated any CRIMINAL laws, but the report clearly states that she committed some ETHICAL wrongdoings. It does not matter whether she wants to acknowledge it or not. The facts are the facts. We already have an Administration that refuses to OWN UP TO THEIR FAILURES -- we don't want MORE OF THE SAME. BTW, the report was approved for release as written by the Alaska bi-partisan legislative committee (10 Reps, 4 Dems). She wasn't cleared of unethical activity.

Especially the other candidates. We have all used favors at any given time so don't even try to deny it. As a former Police Officer, I can attest that it was normal procedure to have someone blackballed that was acting as recklessly as he was. Law enforcement officers such as him have no place in our legal infrastructure. Now, stop the sexist crap and being nasty because a woman has bigger ones than you do. This constant attack on her character when she is impecable is growing very tiresome. Governor Palin did nothing that anyone else wouldn't have done. Especially the other candidates.

Sarah Palin would have us believe that she did nothing wrong in getting Mr Monegan fired. Well I wili bet that everyone who sees this will perhaps know someone in the position of power who has abused it. It might seem like a small matter when it is localized but imagine how this abuse of power can be magnified when someone wield the power of PresidenT or Vice PresidenT. Just something to think about. There is also the hypocracy behind Mrs Palin. She knows her husband belonged to anti "Alaska as part of the Union" group, she knew that she had a church Minister who believes in the power and presence of whiches, preside over a ceremony that was used to drive away witches AROUND HER, all this taped and is being shown on the net. She knows all these things and even more about the ethical conduct of the head of her ticket and still she throws insults, and make accusations of her opponent when she knows her closet is very dirty.

Maybe Sarah needs to "Read the entire Report" It appears as if she doesn't understand that Governor Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda Sounds like Accessory to a crime. If a "Joe-six Pacl" just happens to knowingy permit someone to steal from a business, they are guilty of being an accessory. Please! Another look at what a McCain/Palin Administration will look like.. just another Bush/.Cheney I'm confused...

Sounds like Accessory to a crime.

This economic melt down is just the latest evidence. Check out the national debt. Each family in the country owes abot $86,000. About $40,000 came about as a result of Bush and teh Republican dominated Congress. Do feel like you got $40,000 worth of anything? No healthcare, most us can bearly afford it. Bush wanted to shut down Social Security and have us put our money in the stock market (I'm down over 50%) - plan on retiring one day? Have any relatives who are living on their 401K? It cost me about $40 to fill up a 13 gallon tank? Want to send any of your kids to college? So what the heck have they done with all this deficit spending? Wars (about $600 billion for Iraq), tax cuts for the rich people (I wish I was a rich person). I sure haven't seen any of that money. Pay attention folks, McCain agreed with all this ridiculousness. Let's give the other guys a chance. It's hard to imagine anyone could do worse than the Republicans have the last 8 years, and McCain's just telling the same stories that have got us where we are. Another 8 years of this we'll all be better off in Mexico. Come on folks open look at what's happened in the last 8 years. This economic melt down is just the latest evidence.

Reporters should read the Alaskan report. Palin WAS convicted of violating the Alaska ethics law and was found to have "abused her power" as Governor. These are impeachable offenses under the Alaska legislature. Palin is untrustworthy and has been just disqualifed for national office. She has once again proven how incompetent and unfit she is. Oh and Sarah - we are sick of you hate rallies where you are falsely calling Obama a terrorist. I consider that kind of language a hate crime in the post 9/11 world. You are a disgrace!

You ARE one of those moms -- like that one who caused a girl to kill herself in Missouri... or those kind that berate others because their kids don't quite cut it out there playing sports. And when you quoted Pegler at your RNC speech... where did that quote come from? A book you read? Your husband? The AIP? Or Tucker Eskew, known racist and anti-semite? Bush's communication guy... just like Nancy Pfotenhauer and the rest of Bush's henchmen. How pathetic is it that McCain hires the same guys who slimed him in 2000 (black baby, S.C. 2000) to run this campaign? Boy, that shows some HONOR, huh? Some self-respect? Some "dignity"? Actually, it shows you guys believe the END justifies the MEANS. Hell has a special place for you all. The only good thing I see is that after this coming landslide, you'll get to take your sorry butt home to Alaska where you pretty much won't have a political career left. And that will be a good thing for Alaska AND America -- we will all be rejoicing. Actually, you weren't.
