Haven''t you heard? Palin is a champion for the reproductive rights of rapists and committers of incest.

If he had e-mails that were dated askingt to be billed what''s the problem. That should clear him in itself. The guys 84 and has wealthy friends. if i had enough money i would buy my friends many things.

Taxpayers don''t write blank checks just because someone is a "mom".

Or do you think it''s OK for her to have a $500,000 home given to her because she signed off on a $12M sports complex?

The folks in Wasilla will be paying for THAT one for a while.

Were you one of the guys working on the senator''s house?

You''ll notice "we" does NOT equal YOU.

Laws exist for a reason. Or do you condone corruption?

Thank you for proving that Republicans can''t obey laws and that their cries"personal responsibility" are just that without backing it up with actions.

It''s the same as holding up "Joe the Plumber" who didn''t pay taxes or the local hospital (even though health care is just fine)

There I said it, and I have a very nice life thank you, including owning 3 businesses, never taken unemployment in my 44 years of working, never taken welfare, pay my employees well, don''t have a distressed mortgage, in fact my house is paid for, don''t owe any money on cars, and continue putting money in the stock market have money in the savings and never missed an election of any sort in 41 years, never been in trouble with the law, have three kids all college educated, have 3 degrees myself and registered independent. Yep, a pretty good life.

Bigbowler5 says: ''innocent animals'' are being shot by hunters, who in turn should be shot in the butt by other hunters (even though shooting at the butt is not a hunting techniques I have ever heard of).

Yes, we call that ''food,'' whether the animal was innocent or guilty (of what, I don''t know).

I wonder if this would be appropriate punishment for rapists, murderers, and other criminals in Big''s world (e.g. being raped by another rapist, being murdered by other murderer, etc).

I also wonder what the penalty is for hitting innocent bowling pins with bowling balls in Big''s world. Did the bowling ball give consent to hitting the pins and going through the return mechanism? I''m pretty sure the pins didn''t give consent to be hit.

My verdict: quilty of corruption!
-------------------

Ahhhhh, America in 2008. No trial needed. Hearsay from news and friends? . . . Good enough!

Lets switch to trial by computer vote. We could save a lot of money on the judicial system. When John6PackJr goes to jail by popular vote, he could thank you.

[smurfcrusher]

Guilty as a cat in a goldfish bowl. He was clever enough to take actions that make him seem legit, but given the massive amount of work done - there is NO WAY a person of sound mind could understand this was anything less than a bribe.

I wonder why we haven''t heard how the same "handymen" built Sarah Palin''s $500,000 lakeside home?

Perhaps because she abused her power and derailed the permitting process as mayor, on her own home.

Fortunately there are enough pieces of evidence. She needs to be held to account.

WE CANNOT AFFORD to have a corrupt senator and corrupt governor influencing our future!

While we''re on the sugbject:

ANCHORAGE, Alaska %u2013 Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.

The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.

In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters'' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls.

More Republican/Alaskan foolishness

[skeetchamp]

Stevens is an extremely arrogant man with a massive ego who holds a very low opinion of voters and jurors. How else could he, with a straight face, open his mouth and claim that he didn''t notice receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes -- I mean, "gifts".
When jurors get in the jury room to deliberate, and Alaskans get into the voting booth, they need only ask themselves one question: "Would I notice if somebody stuffed a few hundred thousand dollars in my pockets?"

[martin9p2]

Just a moron who ... who therefore thinks he can get away with crimes :-)

"He''s a very simple guy," Sullivan said.

Yes. Simple. In the classic sense. I.e., very very stu.pid. He''s a crook, and he wants us to believe he''s just an innocent victim. That''s proof that he''s a "simple guy"-- too "simple" to be in government. Let''s hope they put him out to pasture, so he can return to the simple life he professes to love.

[bigbowler5]

Could someone take this crook to Alaska wilderness and have hunters shoot his azz like they to do those innocent animals?

[bigbowler5]

Is there any doubt that the guy is a biggest CROOK ever to set foot on the political landscape?
But knowing those corrupt individuals there in Alaska, I wouldn''t doubt a bit that he would be elected even if he is convicted. These brain washed bastttards from Alaska don''t seem to know *** when it comes their way.

[beader59]

Republican or Democrat, a crook is a crook is a crook. Those who cheat need to be caught, and sent to trial and face whatever consequences. If nothing at all, they should never be allowed to hold office of any kind. And how could he not know what was going on? What a jerk!

[windmaster12]

GOP CROOK !!!!
What Else Is New!!!

[rickwar]

Just another on the take Republican.

Time for him to take "personal responsibility"
