Just think, cooked up charges to get a Rep. senator out of the way, who would have thunk such a thing.

[SolidWood]

PING!

Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.

[SolidWood]

What a horrible thing he has endured. The blatant attempts by adversaries to destroy one’s reputation, career and finances are an abuse of our well-guarded process and violate our God-given rights afforded in the Constitution. It is a frightening thing to contemplate what we may be witnessing here – the undermining of the political process through unscrupulous ploys and professional misconduct.

She knows what she is talking about.

[paul in cape]

Any possibility she could void the last election and schedule a special election? just wondering.

Ask Tom Delay. His Texas 3 grand-jury shopped indictment has yet to go to trial after 2 years. They have nothing on him and he will get off. The RINOS controlling the RNC are afraid DeLay will come back. We need him active.

The prosticutors who do these things should be jailed.

The Obama Justice Dept. drops charges against a Republican Senator originally filed by the Bush Justice Dept....? Something weird here.

[detective]

Sen. Stevens was targeted for personal destruction and they succeeded. They got him to lose his Senate seat based on the false charges. Governor Palin is being targeted for personal destruction. She has numerous phony ethics charges against her and she is continually attacked by the MSM. It just goes on and on.

[Political Junkie Too]

Senator Stevens and I had lunch together recently at my home...

Do I see a future nuisance ethics complaint here?

Wow, Sarah Palin has a ton of courage to come out like this. Most governors would have done like W did to Scooter Libby and the border patrol agents.

[Drango]

Sorry...I’m a strong supporter of Sarah’s but I think she is wrong here. Steven’s is guilty. Charges were dismissed ‘cause of prosecution misconduct but Stevens still did the crime. Let him go gently into the night and don’t get any of his mud on you.

Noting Stevens’ age, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said, “He’s already been punished enough.”

The above quote from a Washington Post article. Reid has aboslutely no honor within himself.

[VinL]

” It is unfortunate that, as a result of the questionable proceedings which led to Senator Stevens’ conviction days before the election, Alaskans lost an esteemed statesman on Capitol Hill. His presence is missed.”

Oh my.

[longtermmemmory]

if it was mr and mrs average america, the prosecutor would NEVER have caved like this. The chief would have just allowed the mistake to die in jail.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

The better outcome would have been for Stevens to have done the honorable thing and resigned, clearing the field for a real Republican to enter... and win.

Corrupt or not (and I vote “corrupt”), Stevens was a pork-guzzling RINO, a walking punchline, and a fossil. For example, his blathering gave the world the term “intertubes”, and his big-spending pork addiction gave us “the bridge to nowhere.”

Sarah should keep her distance from this guy, IMHO. His image is basically the anti-Sarah. She doesn’t need his smudges on her.

Welcome to AK/DNC politics of personal destruction. Same thing Gov Palin is going through.

Pray for America, Our Troops and Gov Palin

[Tublecane]

She identifies with the guy, considering how they dropped the bogus “abuse of power” charges (regarding troopergate—God, how I hate having to follow the lazy, uninspired MSM in applying the suffix “gate” to every “scandal”) against her a couple of weeks after the election. The only difference is that Stevens probably was guilty.

[ari-freedom]

I thought Palin was supposed to be a reformer...to be against these “good old boys.” Porky Stevens was one of the reasons why the GOP deserved to lose in 2006 and 2008 (not that the democrats deserved to win)

[stayathomemom]

How many election cycles in a row has this happened now?
