Add to your list, Harold Simmons, the billionaire who financed the swiftboating($4mil.) of John Kerry. He also is a terrorist who intends to control the government. He has already donated the limit to the McCain campaign and put $2.5 million in the character assassination campaign against Obama. He is the sole donor to the American Issues Project designed to swiftboat Obamo.

Has it occurred to anyone that McCain''s plan to put Palin in charge of energy if elected is the same plan that Bush had for Cheney when they were, well, "elected"?

Palin has an interest in seeing the price of oil increase. All of her friends and relatives from Alaska (as well as Palin herself) receive money from the Alaska fund that disperses excess oil royalty revenue. If oil goes up so does Palin''s friends payout. Sounds similar to the self-interest (some would say conflict of interest) Cheney had when he took over the energy portfolio for the federal government. We all can see what that got us.

McCain operatives called Monegan a "rogue" who repeatedly tried to work outside normal channels for requesting money.

Hmmm, they would fire Monegan for being a "rogue". Last I checked a rogue was synonymous with "maverick". Why would Palin fire someone for being a maverick?

I think we found the October Surprise. She had a lot of nerve attacking Obama when she was under investigation for abuse of power. Not smart, but then again, what do you expect from Caribou Barbie?

"Seven aides to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin have reversed course and agreed to testify in an investigation into whether the Republican vice presidential nominee abused her powers by firing a commissioner who refused to dismiss her former brother-in-law."

They have probably changed their minds about "protecting" her.

"Alaska''s Supreme Court, meanwhile, is considering whether to block the findings of the legislative inquiry."

WHY would they do that? People have a right to know BEFORE the election.

Sarah Palin hasn''t even made it to the White House house and she is already involved in a "gate" scandal. Intersting. If you need more information about her political past and what kind of politician she is, I recommend this unbiased site--

http://dailysource.org/palin

It has in-depth links to hundreds of articles about Palin including many from newspapers and TV stations in Alaska. It has lots of rare footage, including her telling the %u201808 convention of the Alaskan Independence Party, whose aim is to give Alaska a vote on seceding from the U.S., to %u201Ckeep up the good work%u201D - and her complaining four months ago that Hillary Clinton was whining about %u201Csexist%u201D media coverage.

The site is non-partisan and its%u2019 editors and volunteers include an Emmy-award winning CNN reporter, the former operating editor of the Christian Science Monitor%u2019s web site, the former head of NPRs News Blog and the Executive Director of the Online News Association -

Palin''s approval before McSAme 82% - now 68%. The trend doesn''t look good. Especially since she''s become America''s laughing-stock (THanks Tina Fey)

It''s not a smart move.

It''ll expose all the corruption in the Palin Administration in Alaska.

It''s better not to cooperate with the subpoena!

That''s the Republican way.

Hey Karl A Rove.

Tell Palin not to cooperate!!
