That's right. The underground works both ways and I think is a Godsend. Of course, to partisan hacks its only a Godsend when the wind blows in their direction.

Can you say, "hypocrisy"?
You are so right...

What can I say? I guess don't pay much attention to what's said pro or con about Obama because I don't plan to vote for him anyway. (I personally would not and have not condemned Obama for any of these things. In fact, I truly haven't even heard most of them. Under my radar, I guess.) We need to look at their stance on the issues.

And on that note...the fact of the matter is this ~if it were proven without a doubt that Sarah Palin (or John McCain ) had had multiple affairs, it wouldn't change who I'm voting for in November.

It's always an issue during elections.

You have to have an affair during your lame duck term.

At least Palin will have learned something, and that's whats important in the end.

Wasn't there an issue of perjury though too? I thought that was why he was impeached. Not because of the affair.
