By the way, you are on the wrong side of this, McCain Palin will win. Obama alson lied about how he was supposed to accept the funding.

I think that this article is stating what has been obvious with most ppl with a eyes. Sarah Palin was not properly vetted. She was chosen on a whim in hopes of gathering more woman voters inparticular Hillary supporters. Well.. this is one Hillary supporter who would not vote for Palin if I were paid to at this point in time.
Obama/Biden 08-12!!!!!!

Cach – Let me tell you what I find difficult to believe. I set here as an independent, hearing people tear this woman apart. Before the election and her nomination, she evidently was doing a fine job. A state with a large surplus, dividends provided to the populace and an approval rating of 80%. None of us knew her from Adam. Kind of like a good worker, the less noise you hear about their work, the better worker they usually are.
Now we hear all this noise about Trooper Gate. Why are we not hearing about Biden’s brother who has been convicted of Fraud? Why are we not hearing about Biden’s son who is/ was a lobbyist? Why are we not hearing about Biden being the ORIGINAL author of the bill in the mid 90’s that allowed the original wire tapping of YOUR phone and email? That’s right Cach, everyone is in such an uproar about the Patriot Act. Well, hate to bust your bubble, but this wasn’t some new found authority given. Biden authored a bill that gave 90% of this authority over a decade ago. He no more fights for you and I than Mickey Mouse or Oprah Winfrey.
Quite honestly the day that my civil liberties being taken away is a smaller story than a governor who fires her brother-in-law state trooper who threatened his wife, abused his position and tasered a child - well, we all deserve to go down the tubes. It tells me what kind of nit wits I live amongst.
Cach - How would you look at it if it was YOUR CHILD that got tasered? Brings a different perspective to this doesn't it.....we are so cuaght up in political correctness, we can't even purge those who abuse their power. SAD. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Cach, you are one of the people I refer to as Sheeple. You’re not half as smart or studied as you would like to believe you are. If you want to exchange critical thinking you better come prepared.
GHM – You show such a lack of understanding of how things work and what causality is, may GOD have pity on your soul.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The Democratic-led Congress yielded to President Bush on Saturday and approved legislation to temporarily expand government's power to conduct electronic surveillance without a court order in tracking foreign suspects.
Civil liberties groups charged the measure would create a broad net that would sweep up law-abiding U.S. citizens.
But the House of Representatives gave its concurrence to the bill, 227-183, a day after it won Senate approval, 60-28.
The action came amid warnings of possible attacks on the United States.
"After months of prodding by House Republicans, Congress has finally closed the terrorist loophole in our surveillance law -- and America will be the safer for it," declared House Minority Leader John Boehner, an Ohio Republican.
"We think it is not the bill that ought to pass," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. But he conceded he and fellow Democrats were unable to stop the measure in this national security showdown with the White House.
"Protecting America is our most solemn obligation," Bush said earlier in the day in urging Congress to send him the bill so he could sign it into law. Watch Kelli Arena's report on what some call an intelligence gap »
The measure would authorize the National Security Agency to intercept without a court order communications between people in the United States and foreign targets overseas.

Just got done reading your link GHM - I have to say, I had you pegged dead on the first time. You just verified it.
Your link here is leaving out some important information. The reason he voted against these bills is they were smothered with pork barrel spending. Do your homework yet again. I don't like McCain anymore than you do, but your not brining educated arguments to the table, and I'll keep telling you that until you do.
Oh - and for the record, I am a veteran, so this is near and dear to my heart. The worst years I EVER saw as a soldier was under Bill Clinton. We played war games with bananas as pistols and practiced jumping out of planes that were on the ground. Good stuff, let me tell ya.
While she is intensely ambitious, with the chutzpah to jump into deep water unprepared, I think her skills as a politician are fairly limited to the basic maneuvering it takes to win office. Her easy shift from evasion and dodging, a time-honored political tactic, to outright lying and counter-factual assertions certainly raises questions about her ethics and lack of integrity. But her bungling of the TV interviews, lack of nuance in addressing her well-known weaknesses and the inept handling of her Governorship reveal to me someone who wants power but doesn't really know what to do with it. In this sense, she reminds me of George Bush, although she is much more ferocious and fierce. It is clear that she lacks the genius and the empire-building political designs of Dick Cheney. If she becomes the VP, I am confident that she will continue the shroud of secrecy that Cheney created in the VP office, but largely to avoid looking like she is out of her depth. At the end of the day, she won't have much affect on the White House at all.
And even if she were to become President, by McCain's untimely death or after her own shot for the Presidency, she will likely let others call the shots so she can stay in power - just as she now does to make sure she wins the VP office. The quote Ms. McGann got from Art Hackney says it all, to me. Her agenda, capacity to abuse power and political craft no longer scare me. What scares me is who will stand behind her, in the curtains, what their agenda will be and how far will they be willing to undermine our democratic institutions.
Keep up the great reporting, Laura!
This woman was a small town mayor for Gods sake. I am NOT saying I think she is the strongest speaker, but I certainly did not see ONE thing in this article that showed, proved or identified she lied about. AGAIN to all you left wing nits, if it was your child that got tasered, how would you feel about it? This is the most overblown item in the news in the last decade. She not only should have canned this guy but probably should have done even more.
I live in a "Right to work state". Do you even know what that means? That means they can fire you at any time for any reason. I don't see your self righteous butts down here making any noise about hundreds of people getting laid off for NO reason. You guys just don't get it. The average person can't identify with you when your basis for a stance is SOOOOOO woobly. Just like abortion. It's not just your stance on abortion that we look at, it's the fact you all are for abortion and against capital punishment. So we punish those who can't defend themselves, but we don't punish thsoe who have preyed on the innocent. IT MAKES NO SENSE. So take your conspiracy theories and Machiavellian designs and go write your manifesto somewhere up in the hills.
Here is some more "truth stretching":
This quote is from an article written in.....are you ready? 1999.
"In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of [sub-prime] lending, Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times. But the government-subsidized corporation may run into trouble in an economic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980's." --New York Times, 1999
