Can someone please explain this to me?

I have been trying to understand why some people are so excited about reading her email.

She is no threat to Democrats/Leftists/etc. She may consider running for President but we all know she will not be nominated.

So why are we wasting time investigating Palin and her 2008 campaign emails and whatnot when we could be investigating other more important things like WHY our debt is so high among millions of other things?

What a waste. Who cares? Move on. She is history when it comes to elections and whatnot. If the woman talks now, let her talk. Who cares? Her "job" now is to rally the base for Republican Party and she is doing it.

Agreed?

The left needs a poster child so they can label the entire right as looney. This isn't a new tactic, they've been doing it for years.

You'll hear many times about how stupid conservatives are and how no one with a degree could ever be a conservative.

It says more about those people and their own self-consciousness than anything else.

Agree. But without her we'll have to go back to being buried under Glenn Beck threads.

It's a no-win situation.

Because she may have committed a violation while in office and attempted to cover it up. Of course the emails have been heavily censored, so it's politicians protecting politicians. This isn't anything new. Nothing will come of it, I imagine. Maybe you're right. We should just let politicians get away with whatever they can get away with in ofice. Once they're out, leave 'em alone.

Like this guy.

Rod Blagojevich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Who cares? Right?

P.S. Rod was a Democrat and scum. So, the arguments about left/right look pretty stupid. I'm glad he went down. The less corruption, the better.

Good post.

It also speaks volumes about the arrogance of the Left and, in particular, the media.

The MSM has looked nothing but pathetic in this entire situation. Trying their best to dig up any dirt but have come up empty.

And I am no Sarah Palin fan but this proves how pathetic the media has become. MSNBC holds standards no higher then TMZ.

People care because she has always tried to cover her tracks.

Now people want to figure out why.

I'm not a birther, but the same thing could be said for President Obama and his birth certificate.
