Or the GOP could go with Palin/Jindal the Exorcist...a ticket of religious freaks. Most Republicans fit that too.
*I* am waiting for the Palin/Bachman ticket. PLEASE!!!!! I have said it before, it would be comedy gold!

Can you as easily google the complaints that were false and thrown out for being that?

Left wing smear is just as sickening as the false accusations that were made for smear use as the way people like you continue to howl about how the accusations didn't amount to anything but attempts to smear her. Come on and admit that nearly every one, if not every one, of those things were nothing but garbage.

Why are you people so afraid of the woman? I think I know but would love to have one of you admit it.

Now that was a purely dirty trick to offer up a link that proved that those accusations were largely nothing but leftwing crap and attempts to smear her. Old Sickof was doing so good without any proof of what was going on and you stepped in and blew that argument all to hell.

I loved the sources of the ensuing links, like The Daily Beast. At least yours were all in one place and it was a newspaper very close to the government of Alaskas.

I think I will go to bed as soon as I manage to stop laughing about this thread.

As I have stated over and over, the left, really left, doesn't know how to discuss or try and prove a point without personel attacks. They sound like a bunch of elementary kids, name calling, insults, using examples that were proven not true. Even though I do not happen to support her, nor do I really think she will run or seriously run, I think what the left and the left media has done to her is worse than shameful!!!!

If most of these ethics complaints were indeed frivolous, there are obviously people that still do not think so...

“The number of complaints is a function of the misconduct of Governor Palin, Todd Palin and certain state workers,†said self-described government watchdog Andrée McLeod, who has filed four complaints alone. “Governor Palin constantly blurs the lines between her personal and political interests and the interests of Alaska and Alaskans. Alaskans are fed up and are finally doing something about it.â€

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin receives deluge of ethics complaints - Andy Barr - POLITICO.com

An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by trading on her position in seeking money for legal fees, in the latest legal distraction for the former vice presidential candidate as she prepares to leave office this week.

The report obtained by The Associated Press says Palin is securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through the Alaska Fund Trust, set up by supporters.


New Ethics Problems Dog Sarah Palin - Bonnie Erbe (usnews.com)

The suddenness of Sarah Palin’s resignation raises questions about whether a coming scandal caused her to leave office. Max Blumenthal looks at one possibility.

Many political observers in Alaska are fixated on rumors that federal investigators have been seizing paperwork from SBS in recent months, searching for evidence that Palin and her husband Todd steered lucrative contracts to the well-connected company in exchange for gifts like the construction of their home on pristine Lake Lucille in 2002. The home was built just two months before Palin began campaigning for governor, a job which would have provided her enhanced power to grant building contracts in the wide-open state.

Did a Scandal Sink the U.S.S. Palin? - The Daily Beast

Okay, if some of these complaints were frivolous, let's face it, Palin is no sainted lady and her reason for resignation was most likely not the noble reason she wanted her fans to think that it was. BTW...if Palin was not confronted with this one and agreed to pay it back, she most likely would have not volunteered to do so on her own...

Oct. 24, 2008: Complaint contended Palin abused her power by charging the state when her children traveled with her. The personnel board found no wrongdoing, but in a Feb. 23 settlement Palin agreed to reimburse the state about $10,000 for costs associated with 10 trips found to be of questionable state interest among 72 travel authorizations studied. The money is due to the state on Tuesday.
A lot of the complaints were indeed "frivolous"... but Andrea McCleod makes an excellent point. And I think that some people here need to understand that many of the complaints were not filed by the "left".

LOL, Roy....most die hard convservatives in the state of Alaska regard the ADN as nothing more than a "liberal rag".

It is owned by Outside interests. It has okay crosswords, though.

I support her all the way but I don't think she plans to run in 2012. I think she intends to just work for Republicans raising money and such like. I am sure that she won't run then because of the far left doing their thing to her.
