It should be noted that Sen. Ted Stevens was also found not guilty, and the court ruled that there was prosecutorial misconduct.

RESEARCH FAIL.

Um, no. The ethics committee ruled Palin innocent, dumbass.

she was never found guilty of ethics violations, those of you who think so are stupid and possibly illiterate.

funny, but (in Sarah’s case) wrong… too bad somebody didn’t wait for her to be pronounced GUILTY to make this other wise it never would have wasted all our time seeing it.

Thanks for posting that … Palin was indeed COMPLETELY CLEARED.

If you guys in the left bash everything in sight, it all turns into so much noise.

Palin’s innocent!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081104/ap_on_el_pr/palin_troopergate

And really, people have GOT to stop putting “gate” on the end of everything. Seriously, “Watergate” was the name of a hotel, so it’s really stupid to give “gate” to everything.

After the Teapot Dome scandel, did people start putting “dome” at the end of all scandel names? >:-(

Well, she hasn’t exactly been cleared of everything. But she certainly hasn’t been “found guilty” either as the caption implies. There have been two separate investigations–one by politicians which suggests she engaged in unethical behavior, another one by an independent investigator appointed by the state who found that she didn’t do anything unethical. But neither of these have any legal force. She has been charged, tried, convicted, or acquitted of any violations of the law or ethics rules.

It’s a red herring anyway. Nobody’s advocating a huge swing to socialism, just a small progression along the axis. If Zero equals darwinist capitalism and 100 equals Marxism-Leninism, the policies put forward by Obama take us from a 15 to about a 20.
That’s a little too nuanced for our McCainanite brethren, however. They just want to have a keyword-label that they can apply and then attack. Unfortunately for them, the ideological struggles between Capitalism and Communism died with the 80′s, and the electorate no longer gives a rodent’s posterior.

Ah, no. Her comment which I just replied to said, and I quote, “if I had said ‘when they lose.’ But I didn’t even say that.” In short, you just look like a dipshit now.

Especialy if you can cause the low price by either direct or indirect action? Like if, say, someone burned your house down and then bought the property from you for 10% what you paid?

So Uncle Ted can’t vote in the general election because of his felonies. Can he vote in the senate? You’d think the standards for voting in the senate would be higher than the general election.

Hey, just you wait until Alaska reelects their Uncle Ted. Yes, we really do call him that. Sadly, if he’s expelled from the senate he won’t be in a position to appoint his son Ben. (Lisa Murkowski was appointed by her dad when he left the senate mid-term.) Surprisingly, this bothered enough people up here that we changed our laws to require special elections from now on. Go figure.

We voted a dead guy into office, next we’ll have a newly convicted felon. He’s sure to get off an appeal anyway – this ain’t over right? Besides, he’s still our Uncle Ted bringing home the bacon..

And those pesky ethics violations and Sarah’s total lack of ability to avoid using state funds for her family, well you can bet we’ll keep her in office for years and years!

Welcome to the Shock Doctrine. Also, read the book of the same name. It’s how the conservatives have been making money for years now! (Iraq, Katrina, foreclosures). It’s based on the theory that while there’s chaos, it’s easy to steal.

Go back to Free Republic if you want a conservative slant. Face it, the American electorate is not happy with the Republican brand right now. You’ve got years before you guys can show your faces in public without ridicule. You know what? After supporting Bush and his policies for eight years, I hope you hate every freaking second of it.

I personally don’t get why people aren’t bothered more by the corruption. There’s over 130 comments and hardly anybody has commented on that. Are we that apathetic about it? I, for one, find it disgusting whether it’s Palin and Stevens or Elliot Spitzer or any party doing it. I would like to see the American people stand up to people like this and say NO MORE. I know this sounds idealist and people can take my two cents for what it’s worth. Too much money involved in politics, period.

These examples are not the majority of what happened to foreclosures. Some damage may be due to simple ignorance, not spite. You guys are way overgeneralizing. Way to demonize the middle class yet again.

NO, I know the home has to be resold, I just think it’s underhanded and slimy to make a BUSINESS out of people’s misfortune. I’d prefer to see the home go to someone who really wants to live there, that’s all.
