The Ultimate Vetting Guide on Palin: 50 (none on grandma/baby gate) great articles exposing Palin
Edited on Mon Sep-01-08 07:29 PM by grantcart
Here is a list of 50 top threads all well documented on different issues (some overlap) that give the most comprehensive examination of Governor Sara Palin. All were recommended highly and were backed up with the facts. If the McCain campaign committee or the MSM would like to know what is about to hit them then they should go here because it is obvious that they haven't done the work themselves.

Thanks to all the great work by all the different posters

6. The one about hacking her colleague's computer is from when she was on the oil board.
But, she claims that she is against corruption - by hacking her colleague's computer!!!

Alright, now I'm convinced that the Republican Party is actively debating whether or not Palin should withdraw for political reasons. I hope there's some drama to her final act, like her initially refusing to go quietly or something. :evilgrin: :rofl:
