If nothing else the Breaking News on CNN should prove to the American people

[EV_Ares]

about the character of the republican VP candidate.

The breaking news is that of 5 Alaska legislators suing to block the investigation into Palin's firing of the Alaska official in connection with her ex brother-in-law.

The McCain campaign says she will not cooperate with the investigation team.

Is she above the law. If there is nothing to hide, what is the fear of the investigation.

2. She may as well jump into a white Bronco...

With a passport and silly wig.

[tblue]

4. Bwaaaaaaahahaha!

[vanderBeth]

5. lolz

[KansDem]

14. Yeah, but instead of a chase through the freeways of L.A.

She'd be barreling down the Alaska Highway. It's 1,522 miles long. The copters following her will have to be refueled in flight...

[tblue]

17. And on the way they can shoot a wolf and collect $150

[tblue]

3. Yes, character. She has none.

[gateley]

6. I hope so - I hope they keep hammering home that she said she'd WELCOME an investigation. nt

[vanderBeth]

11. I guess that was before the whole country would be really looking into this

This really doesn't say innocent, does it?

Isn't it the Republicans that say if you have nothing to hide then there's no problem?

[Cha]

7. More of bush before she even makes it outta

Alaska! WTF IS she hiding? Must be really damaging!!

[ClassWarrior]

8. Bush**-style irresponsibility.

NGU.

[mitchum]

9. She's Spiro Hagnew

[eppur_se_muova]

25. Just the other day I was thinking, Agnew was nommed 40 yrs ago ...

and he turned out to be the first weak link to give way. Hoping for a portent.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

31. "Spiro Hagnew"

heh :rofl:

[alterfurz]

33. aka Spiro Igloo

and Dickless Nixon/Cheney

[medicswife]

35. lol too much!

:rofl: Spiro Hagnew :rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

10. 5 legislators are suing to stop the investigation?

isn't that good for Palin?

[central scrutinizer]

15. most people figure if you are lawyered up and refusing to cooperate

then you have something to hide and are probably guilty as charged

[1corona4u]

12. They. are. above. the.law.

republicans always think they are.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. The stonewalling itself is even uglier than the abuse of power

It sounds like there must be something really, really damaging in those e-mails and memos Palin refuses to release and even more damaging in the testimony of witnesses close to the affair. Even if nothing major comes out of the investigation, or if there isn't a clear and specific pattern of abusive conduct, the stonewalling is frankly alarming, absolutely alarming. This is not someone we need in the White House if we're going to turn the page from the last 8 years of lies, stonewalling, and failure to cooperate with the legislature or honor the government's system of checks and balances.

16. Another Bush, it would be another Bush admin with her....

[petgoat]

18. The Republicans run a political operation like a business.

They thus consider it their fiduciary duty to do everything
within their power to maximize the advantage for their
"shareholders", the campaign contributors.

[grantcart]

19. idiots - we can't buy that kind of a headline

[progressoid]

20. Oh you libruls. Let it go. She was vetted fer cryin' out loud.

[NewJeffCT]

22. I know - James Dobson gave her a "thumbs up"

what more do we need?

[Mabus]

28. I found secret footage of the first round of McCain's vetting process

When Lieberman ended up as the choice.

21. Another great ad opportunity - people are sick of evasion tactics.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

23. Why isn't Sarah jumping at the chance to be completely exonerated?

You would think she'd welcome the opportunity to get her story down under oath since she's the great reformer and has done nothing wrong.

[AndyA]

24. Exactly. What dirty little secrets and crimes are you hiding, Sarah?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! (To quote Sen. Obama)

[immoderate]

26. Sarah, welcome to the death of a thousand cuts!

This is just the beginning. :)

27. "I will not resign if indicted" ... Spiro T. Agnew

[Arugula Latte]

29. She's another fucking Cheney.

[EstimatedProphet]

30. Be careful with that rationale

I agree with you that it should be investigated, and not stonewalled. But the "If there is nothing to hide" rationale is the same one repubs use to say that we shouldn't have any problem with our rights being eroded.

[Hutzpa]

32. The spot light should

be on this...Obama and Biden need to talk about this.

[Overseas]

34. But she was gonna cooperate before she decided she was not gonna cooperate. /nt

[SDJay]

36. Good. Churchy Spice can

complete the job of making her irrelevant all by herself. I'd rather BO/Biden don't waste any time on her anyway, as McCrap is looking worse and worse as he continues to actually have to answer policy/issue-related questions.

When will these morons learn that the cover-up is always worse than the crime?

[The Hope Mobile]

37. She IS the Bush Doctrine - Jon Stewart

[Twinguard]

38. So much for "nothing to hide"

Way to go Palin, your refusal to cooperate makes you look guilty, even if you aren't.

You suck, Johnny Mac sucks, and the whole Republican party sucks for thinking this is appropriate behavior for someone running for VPOTUSA.

[kmdemqueen]

39. There is not

There is not one law for the goverment and law for us. when she loses is MCcain going to be their when to save her. calling on all alaskians fight this. This is stinks.

[Plucketeer]

40. Memo to Palin

From White House: Just don't show up. Works for us! :crazy:

[spanone]

41. this? is how she will change washington???? more of the fucking same

[EnviroBat]

42. I saw a ticker on CNN last night that 13 subpoenas have

been issued, and yes, Todd Palin's is one of them. The subpoenas are being IGNORED. Sound familiar? These fuckers should all be arrested on sight. The AG of Alaska is now above the law? What the hell is going on here? I'll tell you what's going on here. There's the United States, and there's the republican party. The republicans represent the New National Fascist party, and should be dealt with the way the Italian partisans dealt with Mussolini back in 1945.

[bdamomma]

43. do need anymore of this stuff being above the law.

she is hiding something, if she wasn't she would testify.

[mcollier]

45. How Arrogant of the McCain Campaign

To act as though they are not accountable to the American People....

We do have to vote for these republican candidates....


Funny to see so many republicans running for office who are ashamed to put that little R next to their names in political ads and on their signs.

How can you expect to get votes if you are ashamed of what you are and who you are and what you represent.

Mind Blowing!!!!

[SemperEadem]

44. That's my question, too

Is she above the law? If there is nothing to hide, what is the fear of the investigation?

why the FLIP FLOP?

Time to tie that millstone around her neck to drag about wherever she goes.
