It's only an accident if you get caught. Then you just lie about it after that despite the proof being out there. That's the McCain way of doing things in 2008. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

G Gordon Liddy is a crook, he even admits it in his book. He is also a good friend of McCain as per McCain. So ya, about that.... _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

It's also a continuation of an American leader giving half truths. His next sentence should have been "And ACORN notified the elections committee to let them know of possible fraudulent registrations. Remember, the law prevents them from selectively removing any registrations." But then that would rob him of a talking point that panders to people that don't read or think independently. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

And our Republicans were not neocons....hrmm...I wonder if there is correlation here? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

What does that last one have to do with anything connected to your point? That is the media calling votes in early with only 5% reporting in some areas. Oh wait, here comes the liberal media thing, right? Do you complain about FoxNews and the Bush people that same night doing the same for him? So....chicken or egg here: The Dems called for recount in dem heavy areas because they were the focal point of Republican caging and misinformation campaigns like phone calls telling people the vote was a day later. Those are also the areas where massive amounts of votes were destroyed and not counted for who knows what reason. So, how is it a bad thing trying to make sure all the votes get counted and illegal practices get caught? They pushed for the certification date to be pushed back because there wasn't enough time to research all the corruption that had taken place. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Lawsuits are currently in progress, or the investigation is currently ongoing. Usually the convictions come after that, ya know? But due to people gaming the legal system, this process will most likely take decades. Bring on the stories and links of the Dems trying to steal a Presidential election. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Oh, the irony: "Only an unproven and inexperienced politician like Barack Obama would have to rely so heavily on an another man's resume in making the case for his own candidacy -- and it shows that he's just not ready." -- Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008 _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

The only thing I've seen this year is the ACORN situation, and as mentioned and proven, ACORN reported the fraud. And as mentioned, by law they could not interfere with what was placed on the registration forms. So it is voter registration fraud and makes a good sound bite when you leave out some of the details. Meanwhile, there are multiple investigations and lawsuits related to voter fraud, tampering and intimidation in Ohio and Florida for both 2000 and 2004. Then there is the list I pulled together with the accounts of the Republicans or those that work for them providing misleading information about this years election. Then we can also talk about the illegal caging in Michigan within 90 days of the election via the foreclosure lists. Then there are the Diebold machines that are already providing false results in early voting....in fact one where location where if you push Obama on the screen it switches to McCain and automatically registers it. Let's not forget these are the same voting machines run by a staunch Republican supporter that has refused to fix the known exploits for the last 10 years. And now you have YPM. So ya....about that _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

It's always fun seeing Rush Limbaugh talking points become threads in the SC. How soon before we get one off of his Colin Powell rants?

Did Chrysler ever pay back the $1B from years back? Does GM have a plan to pay back the $25B? Also, here is a hint to GM: introduce the fuel saving technologies to all their cars that currently exists in the EU and people might be willing to buy cars again. Oh, and make just enough trucks to keep the construction people and Texans happy. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Welp. Guess that's all the Republican Party has left. I'd be angry if I was pandered to for all these years with no results as well. Plus they were soooo not subtle in their cheating/caging in 2000 that no one will allow them to get away with it this time. I'd be frustrated too I guess, esp if I had a secessionist leading the anti-American cheers. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Good - now let's see them clean up the ACORN lists. It's hard to wade through the noise on this site sometimes. Has it been brought up that ACORN reported the possible fraudulent registrations? That ACORN would have been in more trouble if they didn't accept the registrations that were gathered for them? But I'm glad to see as many posters on this site demanding blood from the GOP/YPM after all the posts on ACORN.

I went back and looked it up and I did read it wrong: So do you think this will impact the personnel board? I think it was one of the east coast papers that claimed that no action would be taken against her because there was not enough votes for it. So it seems moot. Full disclosure: Not releasing the findings goes against that. So even if the word wasn't spoken, the topic was brought up. I still personally feel that the report needed to be released. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Did you have a problem with Bush saying Jesus wanted him to be President? Just trying to see where the double standards end and begin And tell me how the Rev is anyhow connected to Obama that isn't spouted off by someone in a tinfoil hat. Meanwhile Bush is saying that other stuff about himself. So, because this guy who gets some press said something, it's important somehow? Ok. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Did you have a problem with the McCain camp investigation releasing their own report this week that claimed she was fully innocent and didn't do anything unethical? Also, this was a report done by an investigator to a Legislative Council, not a jury of her peers. The penalty will come directly from that council and it won't be affected by the release of it to the public. She is looking at most a $5,000 fine and vote to censure her....something that won't happen until next year and it will be by the same council (and they are saying that vote will never happen)! There will be no arrest and there will be no criminal or civil trial like you are thinking. Sure, I would agree with you if this was a typical judicial/jury hearing but it isn't. This is legislative! The taxpayers paid for this and they deserve to hear the results no matter what they are. Full disclosure was needed. The ONLY reason anyone would want this delayed is so it couldn't give the McCain/Palin ticket a huge political black eye. I'm not sure how hiding it would be fair to the people. Yes, we have due process and it was done with this investigation and it began before Palin was ever tagged for Veep and NO ONE outside of Alaska cared about it at the time. edit: I also thought that political based signature were fully banned from dz.com. I know they were in the 2004 election and I think kallend suffered a small ban over his back then. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Not really. Full disclosure is a wonderful thing. It helps the people of Alaska understand who they have running things up there. I need to read a bit more to see what legal grounds they have for going after her. It's quite possible this could be used for a vote of no confidence and recall her placement with another vote. We've seen such a thing recently in California. Just because she wasn't levied a hefty fine or hauled away in chains doesn't mean the process was a waste. It just means it requires mutliple steps in the process. On a national level it shows the country who we could have running our office. Now, the investigation wasn't done for that reason but it does have that additional benefit. Because of this, the investigation had to come up with a way to handle the results that wouldn't look politically motivated. It's not how I would do it, but no one ever asks me. I also see it as progress, holding out politicians to be accountable for their actions. We need them to be ethical and do what is best and play by the rules. It's good to see that the slimy side of politics can still be tracked down and put into the light of day. But if you are ok with allowing our politicians to abuse our power and not have any investigation into it.....well, I won't agree with that. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Not everyone works off a W2. Not everyone makes the standard deductions. Lots of people make quick capital gains that are heavily taxed. Most of these people have to pay their taxes in quarterly bills. If you have your own Corp or LLC or just work off a 1099 on some independent stuff, you will pay taxes like this. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

umm... "circumstances and events surrounding the termination of former PSC Walt Monegan and potential abuses of power and/or improper actions by members of the executive branch." - emphasis mine. In other words, Monegan was the major thrust of the investigation, but any other apparent abuses of power are part of the scope. And you don't need to take direct action to violate that statute; application of influence is more than adequate. That said, she did take direct action, in terms of conversations aimed quite clearly (from transcripts) at getting him fired. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Palin-Troopergate.html?hp http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/11/us/politics/11trooper.html?em http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/10/10/alaska_legislative_probe_finds.html http://www.reuters.com/article/vcCandidateFeed2/idUSN1041450720081011 http://www.abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=6004368&page=1 AND HERE IS THE SPIN so you can spit it back to us endlessly: I'll translate: STUPID PARTISAN BIPARTISAN COMMITTEE!

Well, with less than a month to go and a 25% chance of 60 Dems in the Senate and a 90% chance of Obama winning with ~368 electoral votes as per 538.com's 1000 simulations...... They better get moving soon. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
