But the bigger issue is that rather than being a closed investigation she is making it an open record. If there was something hiding in her closet, I doubt she would do it...

I kind of see her saying, "Here I am. Do your worst!"

I just want her on record. From my research she has went on record on this issue twice. Once she said she nor her office had nothing to do with this, second time she said oops...........the emails did come from my office, but you can't see them.
Just do it and get it over with is my point.

sorry but I'm still voting for Obama!:rotfl:

Me too...but Sara and Mac seem determined for a parallel universe...can't Miss Kitty and I have one too:D

:rotfl:

Isn't Obama on the Bill O'Reilly show tonight? I heard that on the radio this morning, but haven't seen anything else on it.

Yep -- should be interesting. Biden has already been politricking today, aw-shucksing it up and building expectations for Palin in the debates. :D

Oooooh! Can't wait!

Yeah that should be interesting. You know it will be much more tame than it could be though! I heard that Obama, his people, and the producers of Fox worked this thing out behind the scenes because Obama felt that he wasn't getting a fair shake on Fox. Obama was allowed to pick any night to go on so he chose the night that Mccain would speak. lol

I think it's much deeper than that SJ. Although I agree excessive force should always be an automatic dismissal. Why does she refuse to testify now, though? That deserves questioning.

Maybe because that would distract everyone's attention from the race.:dunno: I hear that she has recently hired an attorney. I'm sure the attorney said, "Don't speak on the issue. Let me do the talking." That is what attorneys do.

If all the press can dig up is that someone fired her ex-BIL, that is pretty sad for the Press. I know they were hoping for something substantial. They dragged Obama through the mud, due to his links to numerous people.

Back to last night's speech by Palin. I'm not impressed with her speech writer. I have a feeling we didn't hear the real Sarah Palin last night. Only the future will show that.

Here's a detailed breakdown of the charges/circumstances etc: http://www.adn.com/politics/story/476430.html

Apparently the tasing was at the kid's request - and he thought it was so cool he wanted it done again.

BTW, is anyone else inappropriately thinking "don't tase me bro-in-law"? :rofl:


Who is the adult in this situation - a trooper is asked by his child to shoot him with a taser and the step-father agrees to that? That is a level-headed employee of the state? I think not. It sounds like abuse to me.

I can answer why the audience at the Conventions (both dem and rep) applaud like they are at a Friday afternoon high-school pep-rally -- they are all jacked up on the kool-aid.

It isn't that only the speeches are written by puppet masters, which bothers me. It is that the entire campaigns and Presidency is handled by puppet masters, and the Presidents are the puppets.

I'm not picking on you, just using you as an example when I say, "DUH!" Someone else (I'm too lazy to look it up) asked about why they have to be so nasty at conventions. Maybe we're still in happy-land after the Olympics and feeling all "I'd like to teach the world to sing," but this is politricks. It is a Friday night pep-rally, right before the game with the cross-town rivals for the state championship. They spend all this money on these conventions with their elaborate stages and people like sweet Punzy steaming Old Glory so they can wipe up the field with the other team, who just emerged from the deepest pits of h3!!, bent on the destruction of America.

Which is why I watch a lot of HGTV these days.

Back to last night's speech by Palin. I'm not impressed with her speech writer. I have a feeling we didn't hear the real Sarah Palin last night. Only the future will show that.

I liked her spunk fer sher, but I got the same feeling. I'm sure she's a maverick and a tiger and all those fierce animals, but I am looking forward to hearing more of her on-the-spot answers.

This morning on Today, Matt Lauer was asking Biden what he thought--baiting him, really. As a side note, I was also impressed with Biden's classiness; he would not be baited into saying anything rude about her. He did say that he was looking forward to the debates, because (here he was very classy, too) he said that despite her party's lack of a plan, he believes that she is very intelligent and that she is known to be a formidable debater. I don't care a thing about the debates, and will be watching anything and everything but the McCain/Obama debates, but I'll watch Biden and Palin after hearing her speech and his reaction this morning.

Can we throw out the former and keep the latter? It think it will be much more interesting that way!

McCain lost serious credibility with me when he folded for Bush with the torture bill. It really is scary that someone who experienced it and then fought for decades to prevent it would flip over night.

Response from that political fact-checker site, which so many people find to be a great source, thinks otherwise about McCain being a flipper on this issue.
