- Governor Murkowski appointed Palin Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission,[19] where she served from 2003 to 2004 until resigning in protest over what she called the "lack of ethics" of fellow Alaskan Republican leaders, who ignored her whistleblowing complaints of legal violations and conflicts of interest.[20][3] After she resigned, she exposed the state Republican Party''s chairman, Randy Ruedrich, one of her fellow Oil & Gas commissioners, who was accused of doing work for the party on public time, and supplying a lobbyist with a sensitive e-mail.[21] Palin filed formal complaints against both Ruedrich and former Alaska Attorney General Gregg Renkes, who both resigned; Ruedrich paid a record $12,000 fine

Iraq hasn''''t cost 3 trillion, stop lying. We are spending a lot more buying foreign oil than Iraq qould ever cost us, 700 billion a year.
All because of idiot Democrat politician wanting to play socialist head game with energy production

$3 trillion is a projected cost. Iraq is costing $10 billion/month and so far the bill is $700 billion. This doesn''t include interest paid on the money we are borrowing from China to finance this war. We use an estimate because the war is ongoing. When it''s finished, the cost maybe higher or lower. - Reply to this comment

- The selection of any candidate is a play for votes. Politics is pandering by definition. Why are liberals so confused by how things work?

Ideally, we would want qualified and competent leaders to win. We want them to be good at solving the problems facing this country, not just at winning votes. - Reply to this comment
- The Democrat party has been taken over by a bunch of
armchair socialists, it isn''t the party of 30 years ago. Obama is lying about who he is and what he wants to do if elected. - Reply to this comment
- He doesn''''t say how he is going to pay for all this because he doesn''''t want you to know, or care, but it''''s not hard to figure out - taxes upon more taxes and more taxes.

Actually, Obama said he would lower taxes for 95% of taxpayers. So the richest 5% will see higher tax rates. I can''t commisserate since the Bush the tax cuts gave them windfall money.
If you''re so concerned about taxes, you should be aware that the $3-trillion cost of Iraq will be paid for by more than one generation of taxpayers. You should welcome an Obama presidency that promises a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. - Reply to this comment
- Democrats don''t want change, they want favor! They''re not liberals, they''re self seekers! They are the epitome of beaurocracy, wanting MORE government, less independence/liberty!
Obama is NOT the "change" this country needs... We don''t need change anyway, we need RESTORATION. - Reply to this comment
- It has often been said a trained monkey could have run the Whitehouse after the Regan years.Clinton was smart and did almost nothing and reaped the benifits of Regans success except sign NAFTA and chase some skirts arround.

- Republicans, it seems, are interested only in winning elections and gaining power. The selection of Palin as VP for McCain is a play for women''s votes and the perception that Republicans value and respect gender equality. It is a gesture they are willing to make to counter Obama''s message of change for the greater cause of winning. It''s like putting Clarence Thomas in the Supreme Court--a black man whose true loyalty is in the service of the white man. So here is a woman who will fight on the side of taking away a woman''s right to abortion. I suppose you can call that progress when a political party that lives and dies on maintaining the inequalities associated with race, gender and economic class finds it necessary to make token signals that it is also a party of change.
