72 Hours After the Pick and We Have FOUR Major Scandals

#1 - Abuse of power. She used her power as mayor to fire a police chief without cause because he supported her opponent, then the librarian because she wouldn't censor books. She went on to abuse her power by firing a guy who wouldn't fire her ex-brother-in-law and fired a long time aide due to the fact that her husband didn't like him dating the soon to be ex-wife of his friend.

#2 - She supported the bridge to nowhere before she was against it.

#3 - She chaired the corrupt and under indictment, Ted Stevens, 527 organization. This alone could put her Alaska approival ratings in the tank because Stevens is despised on the level of Frank Murkowski.

#4 - She was a member of a political party before becoming mayor and still has ties to that political party that has as a stated goal the secession of Alaska from the Union. This is radical on a level not seen on the national level of politics since reconstruction.

:) But, I agree.. that's not even a big deal in comparisson.. it just ads to the pile.

acting like sex never happens and is taboo.. don't talk about it.. don't teach it.. etc, = pregnancy.

This gal wants to claim 'I'm good enough to finish what Hillary has done' and lure our voters over to her because she has ovaries

She wants to tell me what I can do with my body and how I educate our children when it comes to sex and I can't be critical because clearly her daughter is having pre-marital sex and the girl isn't even 18 yet.

Fair game my friend fair game.

A flip flop? Ties to secessionists? Unwed teenage pregnancy?

They are not known for consistency.

I never heard scandal #4 before this. Jeez. And thanks.

Stated Goals:

I made up that group name, but there is some movement in Hawaii with similar goals. You get the point.

She doesn't even want to be a part of the United States! And they bitch about Obama not wearing a flag pin?

that it's not fair to her family the way the mean old Democrats and the liberal media are tearing them down, and she must put her family first so she will drop out of the race effective immediately...:eyes: :nopity:

Pulling an Eagleton would be the end, but if they see their numbers tanking worse with her on the ticket than without her on the ticket, they may make the Eagleton call.

It's like Christmas time!

This is the sort of pretzledental behavior we have learned to live with under the misrule of the current idiot, Gramps is obviously bringing on more the same.

and it doesn't even begin to touch upon the emotional, second tier speculative scandals, the babies and her and Todd's questionable association with Dominionists, and it's only Sunday....ooops on edit, Monday.

to restrain teen drinking and drinking and driving.

what the hell was he thinking?

Ewwww. :puke:

I didn't see a DUI, what's that about? I did see she got a ticket for not getting some kind of net permit, which someone from Alaska said meant poaching. She's a real piece of work.

the freakshow from Alaska just keeps on giving!

:) and I feel so bad about it ....NOT

HE also rolls the dive with his political campaign which is indicative he'd roll the dice with the lives and security of the American People.

and who the hell knows what else will be coming out of the woodworks...Palin sure has had some shitty stories come out in the last 48 hours, there's bound to be more.

The surface has been barely scratched.

but he's the husband who pushed her to abuse her power.

That's not something you see on the national level, at least not since reconstruction.

They can't afford to have her on the ticket. The baggage is just too heavy after 72 hours.

They'll hold off until after the convention. That will make the impact all that much worse.

They need sex. None of these stories have sex in them.

Sorry, but this is akin to a Democratic Candidate having been a member of the American Communist PArty.

But if she was a member, that's something else!

and move up the ladder.

Watch it.

prior to becoming mayor of Wasilla.

They also have been saying they need people in the two American parties to push their agenda forward.

I mean, we now have a candidate for VP of the USA who joined a group that openly advocates having their state leave the USA.

Why on earth even as a republican (which I am not) would anyone want that person in charge (potentially) running our country? She DOESN'T WANT TO BE A PART OF THE COUNTRY....oh yeah, unless she is VP of it.

This is beyond a nightmare. No, not even I thought republicans were that scary - or at least not in that way. Sure they do things at odd with our best interests as a nation; but I presumed that at minimum, they still wanted us to BE a nation.

And I have news for the ding-a-ling - she doesn't want to be a part of my nation? Then I don't want her running the nation she doesn't want to be a part of - for gosh sake, she spoke to the group just this year! Bugger off, Sarah, go run your own country - you joined a group intending to make one, so see if they will elect you for office.

I bet they aren't even further back than 2002 in the local papers.

He won his primary what seems like ages ago. He had plenty of time to vet his picks. The Republican Party ought to just fold and concede this election.

Here's the promo shot:

The b-word appears no where in your OP.

Are we going to have a pastor scandal in our future?

* The news that Palin once backed the Bridge to Nowhere went national.

* It emerged that Palin has links to the bizarro Alaska Independence Party, which harbors the goal of seceding from the union that McCain and Palin seek to lead.

* The news broke that as governor, Palin relied on an earmark system she now opposes. Taken along with the Bridge to Nowhere stuff, this threatens to undercut her reformist image, something that was key to her selection as McCain's Veep candidate.

* The news broke that Palin's 17-year-old daughter became pregnant out of wedlock at a time when the conservative base had finally started rallying behind McCain's candidacy.

-----

* It came out that Republican lawyers are up in Alaska vetting Palin -- now, more than 72 hours after it was announced that she'd been picked.

* Palin lawyered up in relation to the trooper-gate probe in Alaska -- a move that ensures far more serious attention to the story from the major news orgs.

She is a creationist, has one of worst environmental records I have seen even on a Repuke (she wanted to sue the Bush administration over protecting Polar bears fer Christ's sake), she doesn't believe in abortions even in the case of rape or incest...
She is blatantly far-right and she isn't going to appeal to those independants that McLoonypants thinks he has some sort of cred with..


This person is a nightmare-I would be seriously scared right now if I thought the GOP could pull this off.

You couldn't make this crap up if you tried.
