The DimoMARXISTS are beyond struggling. THIS is all they can do? THIS is all they can offer America? THIS is what they consider important to the issues? THIS is what America is about?

Yes, for the DimoMarxists. They have nothing, they ARE NOTHING.

This is what Obama does. He has done the same in every campaign he has run. His first campaign was victorious because his minions got enough signatures on the filing petitions of his opponents thrown out ...they were no longer opponents.
He ran against Hull and his minions publicized Hulls divorce papers and Hull dropped out.
He did the same to Jack Ryan. Again Ryan drops out.
Obama has NEVER won an election by the people but his minions have always made it possible for him to succeed.
People need to know....

how did the Dems get to this guy?
Republican efforts to delay the probe until after the Nov. 4 election were thwarted when GOP State Sen. Charlie Huggins, who represents Palin's hometown of Wasilla, sided with Democrats. "Let's just get the facts on the table," said Huggins, who appeared in camouflage pants to vote during a break from moose hunting.

Hopefully the Mike Nifong fiasco is still fresh in people's minds.

subpoena her husband

They have subpoenaed a husband of a sitting Governor...That is called desperation.

Mary was not a single mom. Mary was legally married to Joseph.

Can Bush pardon Palin, if she is railroaded?

Her husband can not be compelled to testify against his wife and I’d plead the I don’t remember and stand on the fifth and see how P.O.ed they become.

Hillary sure got away with it.

It just seems like another dose of jujitsu (sp?) by McCain’s camp. Obama can’t seem to let it go by, and that’s what McC has been benefiting from.

Whole lotta noise about nothing. First, the investigators are clearly, clearly partisan Democrats, as illustrated by the photo of them standing behind an Obama podium. Second, what are they going to find? Are they going to try to undermine SP’s authority and/or propriety via the testimony of Trooper Taser? [Hey, while we’re at it, why don’t we just starting calling this Tasergate?]

These desperate and incomptent Dems are the gift that keeps on giving. They are providing as many or more Rep voters than any conceivable Rep campaign efforts by discouraging Dem voters and by undermining the entire Dem campaign effort.

I’m happy to know about the general details of these things; Not that I especially care about the minutiae of some obscure trooper’s beef with his ex-boss WHO GIVES A CRAP?? Some folks on FR have reacted angrily to posts about this type of nonsense out of a desire to not spread this trash further. I can appreciate that but for sure it’s not going to stop it. The Dems wouldn’t have flown those people up to Alaska for their little “fishing expedition” if they weren’t DESPERATE to find dirt. What a bunch of losers!

Come on, folks, have some faith and confidence. Each and every one of these allegations and innuendos to date are just marginalizing the Dems and the polls clearly show it. They pit Obama against Palin, which isn’t the election. They are doing 5x the damage to themselves they could possibly do to us. So don’t worry about this, I say. Today’s freak out is tomorrow’s money in the bank.

Google is your friend. He’s a stooge of the oil industry. Party labels don’t mean anything in Alaska politics.

The Republican Party has a majority of seats in the state senate, but a minority of that Republican majority has aligned with the Democrats and they share control. Huggins is a part of that quisling group.

Uh.. this isn't a criminal investigation. All they can do is release a report that is politically embarrassing

" And we should thank GOD that this single mom ( Mother Mary ) was not PRO-CHOICE "
I bet the Liberals would go berserk if they saw that as a ad or bumper sticker, ex specially those liberals who are pro-choice and claim they are Christians.

The problem is, we the people do not hold the scumbag legislatures to account. It is high time we begin, eviscerate them!

“Thanks. I thought obstructing justice was illegal.”

It is, but the legislature cannot make such a charge. This is just like any other ‘investigation’ the Dems run 24/7 on the Bush administration.
