It is quite obvious your boy in Alaska knew he was the proverbial salmon swimming upstream and threw anything and everything at Palin in a fruitless attempt to win the election. Showing this much fear that a single mailer would affect the outcome of the election?

I know that’s not your point (however weak it is) but the fact of the matter is an outside source sent one (1) mailer out and that was the end of it. That’s supposed to call her character into question?

Again, only someone predisposed to not vote for her would accept that as evidence of a character flaw. It also explains why the mainstream media doesn’t cover non issues like this. The general public wouldn’t view this as an issue but, if reported, would view it as a transparent attempt to sway opinion against her over nothing.

I’m a voter, not an investigator. I’m also a very concerned voter so I spend hours on the blogs to find the truth and push those that can fact check do it. Please find the Cheney connection and date of first contact to Sarah Palin.

Grateful to those that care about the truth for all of us……thankyou

The Washington Post provided a direct link from Abramhoff to Palin. She claims to be a reformer yet supported the Bridge to Nowhere, worked for a group dedicated to Ted Stevens, the king of pork barrel politics, and raised taxes in her tiny little town. Are you defending her in the face of this evidence because she’s a Republican conservative? Because she’s the best that your party has to offer? Or are you just trying as hard as you can to turn the argument back to Obama? So far you are 0-for-3.

“Sarah Palin linked to Republican Governor’s Association and campaign ethics questions”

I read your post. Your intention was quite clear: you attempted to besmirch her by associating her with Jack Abramoff, which is purely speculative on your part and not supported by any actual facts. It may well be at some point, I don’t know, but loose speculation like this is either a) irresponsible and sensationalistic, or b) blatantly intentional and partisan.

And, just to fill you in, racism is the fundamental belief that one race is genetically superior to another. Apparently, Obama has some preconceived, stereotypical notion of what a typical white person is, or else he wouldn’t have made the remark. That doesn’t make him a racist, but its certainly impolitic. The context came from him, not me.

First of all, I know the comment you linked to and it’s a nice Fox News talking point but your sentence was more than that.
“Obama couldn’t pick him out of a line-up of typical white people.”
That implies Obama thinks all white people look alike. So that would be a racist comment and nothing like his grandmother being a typical white woman.

Clearly you didn’t read the post. Palin is linked to the Republican Governors’ Association. My intent was to provide more detail on the RGA. The RGA continues to operate even without Abramoff and are doing so unethically and broke Alaskan election law.

My intent of this article was to inform people that Palin isn’t the ‘high ethical standards’ candidate she is leading us to believe. You, on the other hand, are trying to deflect the facts about Palin with your Ayers nonsense from 1970.

Obama’s own words…

Nice try at pegging me as a racist. And Obama’s association with Ayers is well documented. I’m not putting Obama in the domestic terrorist camp, but if you want to declare Palin guilty by association with Abramoff, which is clearly your intent, then to be consistent, you’d have to admit the same with Obama and Ayers. Actually, its even easier to admit this association, since Obama has eaten hors’ doeuvres in Ayers house, while Palin’s only appearance with Abramoff has been in your blog headline. Ayers is a confirmed unrepentant terrorist who has himself acknowledged his involvement in several bomb plots. Because he never did serious jail time does not diminish this fact.
