ClassWarrior,D.C. — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:22:23 GMT

If I were someone being investigated, I'd want it done by people I can fire and shut up, too. Only problem is, that's not how the United States works, and unless or until Toddster has his way and Alaska succeeds, U.S. law should prevail. If she's investigated by people she can silence, it's not an investigation, it's a whitewash, a joke.

It's a classic! Let's get investigated by our appointees, whom I'm sure will be above the "partisan" fracas!

Can someone please explain to me why John McCain can put out an ad promoting Wall Street reform grounded in transparency when he is opposing that same transparency with respect to a bi-partisan investigation into TrooperGate? John, if you're afraid to allow transparency on this small matter, you're not going to reform Wall Street at all.

David, Baltimore, MD — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:29:12 GMT

The joke continues. It is unbelievable that Palin is still on the Republican ticket. She has so much baggage and just about everything that she told the public in her introduction to the nation was a lie. She did not say No to the Bridge to Nowhere. She did not sell the governor's plane on Ebay. She did not fire the governor's chef. She did not travel to four countries on her only internation trip it was only two. She is not a pitbull with lipstick, she is a crybaby. She is not a government reformer - she is just a corrupt politician.

<<Gov. Sarah Palin on Monday indicated she will cooperate with a separate probe run by people she can fire.>>

Well, doesn't that little sentence say so much? These people are UNbelievable at every turn!

While Sarah gets a crash course in -- EVERYTHING -- we, as voters, are supposed to stand back and applaud her efforts to cram years worth of knowledge and networking into the span of several weeks. Not this voter! Not this time! Thanks, but NO THANKS!

Even George Will thinks that McCain is unfit to lead--so it would follow that his whim of a pick is completely unfit to do so. When your own base starts turning on you, that's very telling.

Please, America--vote for the SMART guys this time and save us years of financial ruin and further degradation of the American Dream!

What a joke. Look where we are at. I have to believe that McCain doesn;t get it. How would he know how we americans are struggling? Then he brings in the ditz from Alaska.

They need to show that they can still draw people. Is it possible that people are only coming to see her, and everyone knows that she is a political pick. It would have been nice if you had posted one little but important note -- the fund raising is for the party and not the campaign.

The October surprise came a little early -- she flip-floped on testifing for this committee. I am sure that a bigger one will be on the way. How much is this like George W. Bush; allowing people to testify or not?

Why don't we have Cheney over see the investigation? If it is not an independent investigator Palin or her husband will controll the outcome. Is this the type of justice that we have in America? Is this the type of justice we want in Washington?

Palin is not "meeting" with voters and foreign leaders. In a meeting, two or more people come together for the purpose of DISCUSSING a (usually) predetermined topic such as business or community event planning, often in a formal setting. She speaks to voters and she is having a picture with foreign leaders. I have not seen her have a discussion with voters. Palin does now have a set anser to questions.

It was an unwise decision to first say she would cooperate with the initial investigation and then say she wouldn't. It makes absolutely no political sense to now say that she will cooperate with this second investigation that would have no way to show any true objectivity.

This Palin girl is another George Bush presidency when it comes to investigations and subpoenas. She is new to the scene and she already believes she and her husband are above the law. This is another indication that a McCain/Palin will be just another "secretive" presidency, as they one we have just experienced with Bush/Cheney. That secretiveness has contributed to the economic collapse of our great nation.

People we have already had 8 years of this BS...... remember the holyer than thou Republicans who hounded Clinton about Whitewater (which mophed into Monica Lewinsky)....for years and millions of dollars and proved nothing at the end of their investigation.
