We need a poll will Palin being booed or cheered at the hockey game tonight?

At least the Blues will sell tickets and have people attend early by having Palin drop the puck.

Why is Sarah dropping the puck? Will she be on skates in a short skirt, or a looooong Blues jersey and tights? Or full gear and pads with helmet? Will she be playing defense or offense or goalie?

The Republicans dropped the ball a long time ago.

Who can afford hockey tickets, anyway? Must be Republicans.

Interesting how this discussion has deflected from the deposition issue which is the reason for the article in the first place. I agree with the commentator who said “Go, Sarah!” Yes, go. Far far away, back to the tundra. Isn’t it nearly moose season? (Not to be confused with the Bull Moose party of TR Roosevelt.)

“3 out of 4 high school dropouts prefer Sarah Palin.”

If they went to Chicago public schools, that’s probably true.

Barack Obama spent four years and almost $100 million on useless psuedo-education projects that didn’t increase student test scores or graduation rates one bit. This probably explains the strange way he bills himself as a “community organizer” but at the same time does everything possible to hide exactly what that work entailed.

It’s almost like Obama hates black city kids. Despite his rhetoric and claims to years of public service, he hasn’t done squat to help any of them.

Obamagirl,

It is great having another uninformed poster on the board today. Sarah Palin has already been cleared on this charge. She is being deposed because she ask for an internal investigation. Nice Try.

As far as Obama goes, he has no experience in making decision of any kind. 130 votes of present. So 130 times he decided to not make a decision. I am assuming it was for political gain so no one could tie him to anything. He may be elected with less experience than anyone every. HE HAS DONE NOTHING IN HIS ADULT LIFE THAT QUALIFIES AS EXPERIENCE.

That comment I made was a joke!Of course I don’t really want harm done to her or anyone else.Sorry if it was taken to seriously.

“Sarah Palin is blaming gender bias for the controversy over $150,000 worth of designer clothes, hairstyling and accessories the Republican Party provided for her, a newspaper reported Thursday”"

Are you kidding me? Gender bias for $150,000 in clothes and makeup? She’s crazy right?

Sca,

Here’s the link to the cnn.com report that says the panel of investigators definitely found that she violated Alaska state ethics laws but, technically, yes, they didn’t call her out on the firing because they wanted to give her the “benefit of the doubt”.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/10/palin.investigation/index.html?iref=newssearch

In the article, her own party is saying that they’re giving her the benefit of the doubt. That phrase. In quotes. Sca, I encourage you to read the article, which details Todd Palin (not an elected official, by the by) and his role in the firings that occured and the quotes found therein. It also doesn’t really look like she called for the investigation as much as said she would cooperate, as found here - http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/11/palin.investigation/index.html?iref=newssearch

Again, everyone’s entitled to their opinion but when a candidate is found guilty of breaking ethics laws, which, yes, she was, they’re not for me.

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don’t write the tax code. Congress does. You and I don’t set fiscal policy. Congress does. You and I don’t control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of the 235 million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank.

I excluded all but the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it.

No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislation’s responsibility to determine how he votes.

Don’t you see how the con game that is played on the people by the politicians? Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of Tip O’Neill, who stood up and criticized Ronald Reagan for creating deficits.

The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating appropriations and taxes.

O’neill was the speaker of the House. He was the leader of the majority party. He and his fellow Democrats, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetos it, they can pass it over his veto.

REPLACE SCOUNDRELS

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts - of incompetence and irresponsibility.

I can’t think of a single domestic problem, from an unfair tax code to defense overruns, that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.

When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in Lebanon, it’s because they want them in Lebanon.

There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take it.

Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exist disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people and they alone are responsible. They and they alone have the power. They and they alone should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses - provided they have the gumption to manage their own employees.

Shame on Palin.

In her interview with Brian Williams, he asked her if conservative religious activists who bombed abortion clinics were terrorists. First she gave a big sigh. “I don’t know if you’re going to use the word ‘terrorist’ there,” she said.

Palin made rape victims pay for their own rape kits as mayor of Wasilla. (And Alaska has the highest percent of rapes per capita in the country.) Palin wants to take away all womens’ rights to an abortion, even in the case of rape, incest, and to protect the health of the mother.

I don’t want a dangerous extremist to be a “fifth melanoma” away from the presidency.

Sca: Sarah Palin has already been cleared on this charge.

Palin = LIAR

Considering that Palin herself said repeatedly that she had been cleared on this charge, I can understand your confusion. Palin is LYING. She was NOT cleared. The legislative committee reported two weeks ago that Palin ABUSED HER POWER.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
The first investigation by the Alaska state legislature found that Palin abused her power in her efforts to get her former brother-in-law, a state trooper, fired.
