Palins Abused Power In Alaska

As the Republicans desperately try to sling mud, grasping at whatever connection they can make between Barack Obama and a person of questionable character from 40 years ago, the headlines of today's paper says it clearly: The Palins abused power in Alaska, violated ethics rules, treated their subordinates terribly and lied about it all. And Todd Palin, in particular, was a mad man. He made 36 phone calls over the years to get he ex-brother-in-law fired. Let it go, First Dude.

This is your “maverick” and ethics reformer who is going to clean up WaRshington? A pathological liar?

The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.



This is what is happening now, today. Not decades ago. These same conservatives who who give George Bush's alcoholism and cocaine abuse up until he was 40 a free pass. It's a joke.
