Palin supporters will come on this thread and try to discredit it’s merits by claiming I am a nut with PDS. Frankly, that is their first response to any Palin criticism.

While I appreciate a lot of what Palin is doing right now, yes, I am a Palin critic because I don’t think she is ready for the oval office. Sue me.

But people should read this and draw there own conclusions, is what I say reasonable?

Why all the uproar?

Tempest in a teapot. Let it go. Another day and it’s forgotten. Sheesh.

Ah, the ADN. Can always count on them to bash Sarah at every turn. IIRC, Sarah never asked for the legal defense fund to be set up. Further, she never drew so much as a nickel from it, and is refunding every bit of it to donors. So, what again is the problem?

Actually, the court said she was following the advice of her lawyers, which was reasonable. They didn’t fault her in this.

Bob J, this may be an objective assessment of Palin’s troubles, but it sure sounds alot like the hit jobs the media have been putting on her for the past 2 years.

Palin supporters want us to believe she is ready for the oval office. I've researched her history and find these kind of missteps and bad decisions throughout her career. “In this case it wasn't five or ten years ago, these things happened in the last year or so.

If Palin can't handle and make good decisions in something as simple as a legal defense fund, how can we trust her to make the right decisions sittig in the oval office with her finger on the button?’


Name me one ... member of congress, President , cabinet , etc. that has not made miss judgments during their career.

Look at John McCain !! and the Keating 5 scandal, and that is just one of John's many missteps. He is still making bad judgments. MO

Too much is made of these areas of unreasonable laws. True they are on the ledgers ... it takes time and money to search all this stuff out and time is of the essence. MO

After reading post after post by you slamming Sarah Palin, I think you might need a shrink to work on your obsession.

What do they need to do to bring it into line with ethics rules?

I like Palin a lot, but I’ve made the remark a time or two that she was a little more “populist” than I am, and the ethics rules were among the things I had in mind. If ethics rules can be used to paralyze honorable people then the rules are wrong. But until that happens, they’re a crowd pleaser. Similar to McCain’s vaunted “campaign finance reform” which make it even more difficult for normal people to run for office while making even more cover for machine politics.

I hate seeing what they’re doing to her, but ethics rules are like mom and apple pie. Its going to be hard to come out against them. Repubs aren’t going to mis-use them to hamstring their opponents, and Dems will. But if you come out against the ethics rules you’ve painted yourself as being against ethics, and no one wants to go there.

I think it's hilarious than many on the left, and a few on the right, think of new ways to bash her every day! It's 2010 and she's not running for office now and nor has she announced for the 2012 election. And yet many hang on her every word furiously taking notes and then picking apart every word, every phrase looking for a "gotcha"!

My advice is free so take it for what it's worth. We have 5 months to the election where we have an excellent chance to throw-out the National Socialist Party. Wouldn't all this effort be better directed to achieve that rather than bitch about Palin on a daily basis? You'll still have two years after that to cast as many stones as you wish.

Bob,

From now until November 2012, the left will be working hard to pick the GOP Nominee like in years past.

With friends like you who needs enemies.

When I read the article yesterday, I told my wife that someone would come on here and try to make a big deal out of it...one of the daily, run-of-the-mill Palin bashers.

She did what her lawyers advised her to do, and even the "judge" admitted it was oversight. Palin paid back the funds with no objection, and it was over.

You'd get better traction bitching about her "ugly fence" than you will on this issue....it's moot, and it's over.

What a bunch of commie crap. The “investigator” Tommy Daniel,is a partner with Perkins-Coie, Dunham’s law firm, and a “plant”. He was found out and removed. Once you understand that part, you might expand your brain to realize the scam of Dunham’s useful idiots didnt work.

what part of “no finding of any wrongdoing on Governor Palin’s part” do you not understand?

FWIW, an independent investigator’s finding is no proof of anything. It’s akin to a DA’s filing charges. The matter would’ve been taken up for a hearing by the Personnel Board but Palin preferred to reach a settlement rather than drag it out in a hearing which would’ve turned into a circus. While her chances of prevailing at the hearing were quite high IMO, what she did was a smart move. This publicity will likely lead to many more contributions to the new fund.

Your PDS is making you insane, Bob.

Go infest somewhere else.

This thread was posted by someone that hasn’t kept up with the facts in the case, and has no desire to be confused by them.

The only thing about the fund that was deemed wrong was the word “official” anf the investigators stated plainly that there was clearly no criminal intent found.

In other words, why is BobJ scrounging around in Palin’s toilet looking for used TP?
