What Is Sarah Palin Hiding?

Why in the hell would anyone get into their car on election day, drive down to their local voting precinct, and actually vote for Palin as vice president?

It’s obvious that the woman is hiding something. What does it take for you republican morons to see that she’s nothing more than Bush in a dress?

If you think our economy can suffer through this shit a little longer… if you like the prospect of going to war with Russia and/or Iran… IF YOU WANT FOR MORE YEARS OF THE SAME… then go ahead and vote the Palin/McCain ticket! (intentional)

If you love America and are tired of a sour economy and endless wars, but can’t see yourself voting for a black man, then why not just stay the hell home that November day? I promise, you (and every other American) will be thankful you did!

No-shows stall hearing in Palin inquiry
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) — Alaska lawmakers investigating Gov. Sarah Palin’s firing of the state’s public safety commissioner put off a Friday hearing after most of the witnesses they subpoenaed last week failed to show up.

Subpoenas were never served on seven of the 13 people after Alaska’s attorney general scuttled a deal with legislative leaders to arrange for their statement, state Sen. Hollis French, the investigation’s manager, said Friday.

Two aides to the governor — now the Republican vice presidential candidate — were served and refused to comply, and Palin’s husband, Todd, was among the no-shows.

But French said Stephen Branchflower, the special counsel conducting the investigation, still plans to complete it by early October.

“I have spoken to Mr. Branchflower this morning. He is continuing to gather information and expects to complete his investigation by October 10,” he said.

French, a Democrat, has become a lightning rod for allies of the Alaska governor, who have accused him of turning the investigation in a “partisan circus.” Palin has halted her cooperation with the investigation, which was commissioned by a bipartisan committee of the Legislature before she became Sen. John McCain’s running mate. (emphasis mine)

Sounds a lot like Bush, doesn’t she?

Do you really want to vote in someone who can so easily throw their nose up to the rule of law? I thought people were tired of politicians that were above the law?

THINK, GODDAMNIT!

1. They want "deference" because there is NOTHING to her. Zero. Nada.

2. I know a lot of people who like her
Their reasons vary.

Truth: MUCH of the criticism of her makes people like her more, because it seems unfair, politically motivated, cheap shots, sexist, etc.

3. That's part of why she was picked. To shield her from criticism and set a "sexism" trap.
Her candidacy is bullshit.

4. Well,
like it or not, a lot of the criticism IS sexist.

I have read liberal dems' opinions that she can't be vice president because she has 5 kids. Oh, really? Then I guess they believe moms can't be surgeons, or pilots, or executives, or have any other demanding career. Now, THAT, my friend, is BS.

There are some VERY good reasons to oppose Sarah Palin. But, I have never in 52 years seen a candidate attacked so viciously on purely personal issues. It is sexist, and it has no place in today's political world.

5. Their own medicine
I agree that personal attacks should be off-limits, however, the reich specializes in personal attacks. It's only when the Left finally fights back with the same fire that the accusations of sexism are unleashed.
People like Palin have made a career out of critizing and interfering with other people's personal lives.
On that note, when all I see during the campaign is Palin and her husband at every stop - it is a valid question for the self-proclaimed "hockey mom" as to who is raising her five children.
The media was apparently instructed to show that the entire family is together today in FL.
If they are going to use their family as props in the campaign then criticism of Palin leans decidely towards the political, not the sexist.

6. Just curious . . .
Do you feel that Barack is using his family as "props" when his daughters appeared onstage at the Convention? Or when there is a TV interview of the whole family? When Michelle Obama is speaking in another state, are you asking who is raising her daughters?

I don't see much difference.

As far as who is raising her kids, um, one is over 20 and the one is 17 or 18. I'm sure that as in most large families, they are expected to pitch in.

Not a fair criticism, AT ALL.
