Her whole reputation is built around that fact and to ignore it because it doesn't fit your agenda is silly.
What you are doing is making an assumption: "Sarah Palin is the only ethical person in the whole ordeal".

Basically the Democrats and the Republicans on this panel are both corrupt and looking for political motives but Palin has been the reformer maverick honest politician that we all dream about. St Palin?

It's not my agenda, maybe you can point to where I've made great hay in this troopergate issue, or maybe you're just reverting to generalizations about me again because there is absolutely no way you can factually back up your assertions about everyone surrounding this issue. You'd have to be omniscient.

Personally, I think it's important to have a Veep who can nurse and shoot skeet at the same time......

Absolute and total hogwash !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The schedule for the investigation was set BEFORE she was running in ANY election.

Talk about partisan spin.

Of course before she was running she wanted to cooperate as well

No, he did say there could be an October surprise.


And what does that tell you that she was willing to cooperate at first? It tells me that the Mac camp thinks that there is hay to make here, politically. It all happened too, after the guy (who is an Obama backer) made the comment. The Mac team smelled "sarah being victimized again" and are being shockingly loud about the matter. Note, almost ALL of the yelling is coming from the Mac camp. In all honesty, it's a rather boring story that has very little evidence behind it, which was the general feel of it when I looked it up before all the hullabullo. But now it's OMG MORE OBAMA CAMP DIRTY TRICKS!!! HIDE YOUR CHILDREN AND LIPSTICK!!

well, 40, if the above was the case, why wouldn't she have started with the stance about not cooperating when this whole thing was brought up in the first place? Oh yeah, that's right, because the "maverick" hadn't been told what to do yet by the high ranking party officials.

Yep you are probably correct Donald.

Myself I was thinking about the truth and facts. I'd forgotten that these are not important to John 'Flip Flop' McCain

40 you are excusing this as a partisan hit job, when its a bi-partisan panel. Team McPalin are being ridiculous. But, hey at least Palin is cooperating with the alternative troopergate ivestigation SHE initiated!
Quote:
The McCain-Palin campaign said Thursday that Gov. Palin is cooperating with a separate Alaska State Personnel Board investigation into Troopergate. Palin initiated that investigation after she joined McCain's ticket. The three-member board is appointed by the governor.

"I can't say it enough, the governor is an open book on this matter," McCain spokeswoman Meg Stapleton said. "She is fully cooperating with the unbiased, legally appropriate and independent investigation of the State Personnel Board."

L-O-Freaking-L !

How can you excuse this sorry crap?

This makes absolutely no sense when compared to my past posts.

Basically I don't understand the type of thinking you'd have to come up with to get your Republican sales pitches into words and you don't understand me questioning what you're trying to say.

Simple. The stakes weren't as high and she knew she had nothing to hide. And though I didn't think about it until after I had read Donald's post, it might be the GOP trying to make hay of this issue and show her as a victim of the gool ole' boys club. Political hay trumps integrity every time.

Sales pitch??? Now my opinion is a "sales pitch" on this P & R board where there are probably only two truly independent voters who have not made up their minds yet? Sorry, but if it's sales I'm concerned with, I'll go where there are real customers and not waste my time arguing with people who wouldn't buy my product if I gave it to them.
