Nothing like a predisposition to the outcome you desire.

BTW, is it now fair game to read the emails of all in the political arena, or just those you oppose?
You want to show us where I said I am prepared to believe "it"?

It's fair game to read anything that gets released through the FOIA. Happy?

Amen brother, could you imagine if all EMAILS from all the sitting governors, senators, and politicians in general had to be released to the public, better than half would be run out of office, which would be a good thang.

Good point, it is really important that we see e-mails from Palin, there may be something in there to make her look stupid. However it is completely trivial that we know what Elena Kagan's role in Obamacare was!

Virtually every post you make on the subject says it far better than a mere declaritory statement.

And isn't it interesting which emails and concerning which individuals get selected? Once again, political predisposition rears it ugly head. Anything from the Fed, regardless of which side, is suspect.

They have PDS BAD;

It is NOT a coincidence that the MSM's PDS syndrome coincides with the Left's PDS syndrome - they are one in the same.

News organizations mobilized teams of reporters and even recruited online volunteers to scan more than 24,000 pages of e-mails from Sarah Palin that were released on Friday, prompting some critics to accuse the news media of overkill at best and vigilantism at worst.

Greta Van Susteren, the Fox News host, asked if all the fuss amounted to a “media colonoscopy,†and pointed to comments from her readers who asked whether news organizations had devoted such energy to the 2,800-page health care overhaul bill that passed last year.
If only they were as zealous and diligent getting to obama's records.

Opinion only with no dog in this hunt: but all this fuss seems to originate with the publics desire and perhaps overwhelming need to guage the integrity of someone who would be crowned "king" of the hill. Why then is it not deemed fair play to have everyone put under that same microscope?

I don't get it at all; you want good people to run for these high positions but then you go about requiring them to walk naked over a bed of hot coals and sacrifice their first born to show their committment to the race. Does it not seem logical that; given this requirement to abase yourself in public, only completely retarded or wrongly motivated people would then apply for the job with all the sensible ones abstaining from this display of public villification?

History has proven that good and even great leaders have had "feet of clay". What's the big deal with these stupid e-mails? If we were summarily judged by what we've written on this forum as an example, we're probably all "toast".

I am curious, which e-mail do you find damaging?
