Palin Directed Stevens' "Excellence In Public Service" 527

Washington Post:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin began building clout in her state's political circles in part by serving as a director of an independent political group organized by the now embattled Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens.

Palin's name is listed on 2003 incorporation papers of the "Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc.," a 527 group that could raise unlimited funds from corporate donors. The group was designed to serve as a political boot camp for Republican women in the state. She served as one of three directors until June 2005, when her name was replaced on state filings.

Palin's relationship with Alaska's senior senator may be one of the more complicated aspects of her new position as Sen. John McCain's running mate; Stevens was indicted in July 2008 on seven counts of corruption.

We already know that Palin is as crooked as a dog's hind leg. What else is new? The perfect GOP sop all the way 'round.

This is the CHANGE McSame/Palin want to bring to Amuurca people ...

Corruption at its BEST ...

[Trollstakeyourmeds]

And the mud keeps dripping, one drop at a time. Boy....who­ever was responsible for vetting this lady is probably in dire need of a new job.

That would be John Sidney McCain, POW

Quick Question ... Isn't that a GOP website ??? ...

How come Biden IS winning .... ?

Because according to the GOP, even if you are a janitor so long as you have that "R" after your name, you are MORE qualified than Bill Clinton himself when it comes to running for office ...

Double Standards anybody ? Throw the Bums OUT , Let's take back OUR Country ... !

I just voted (for Biden) and the results came up:
Who is a better pick for Vice President?
Palin - 7%
Biden - 93%

it appears to be a GOP website...­.interesti­ng

[AtticusinPa]

Fuggedaboudit: I just looked and the poll "result" was:

Palin 100%

Biden 0%


It is absolutely a fraud.

Soap Opera Sarah, Go Home and Put Your FAMILY FIRST.

Oopsie! Bit of a smirch on her rep as a reformer. I bet there's more--just wait.

This is the best one yet. I mean this is getting ridiculous. At least we know why the campaign left the four year gap in her resume. She didn't run for Mayoral re-election in 2002, instead took a shot at the Lt. Governor job and was defeated. From there here resume was left blank until she won the Governorship in Nov 2006. So now we know in the interim from 2003-2006 she was director of Ted Stevens 527 group. And she said she was an anti-corruption reformer with a straight face?

And this does explain how a mayor of a town with less than 7000 people can take four years away from Politics and come back to win the Governorship. Dirty Ted Stevens pulled strings, got his machine behind her and returned the favor.

Sure she came out after the fact and encouraged Stevens to 'fess up. But that was after the fact, when the cat was already out of the bag with the FBI all over it. This woman lies so easily - look at troopergate, she flatly denies that anybody from her office pressured Monegan, and only after she learns there will be an investigation, does she launch her own and upon finding that there was evidence she pulls a 180 and admits that some from her office did contact and pressure Monegan.

The only thing that concerns me about this revelation is that it sounds and feels like the American people are going through a post-decision vetting process with the McCain campaign. Why is he and his campaign showing such disrespect for the American people?

[emmaspeaks]

I can't iagein he can save himself with this one. Is there a way that being a POW excuses it?

[jupitor]

good idea, he used it to explain his 10 house's and his adultry!

[nubret2008]

I guess Dove-eyed Dubya still was the best choice. She supposedly didn't have the dirtiest laundry from all rep. candidates­....

[dnels14]

please dont turn your back on your buddy...he­s going to need your help if hes convicted. then again you might not be around to help him if troopergate comes to bare

[emmaspeaks]

only if he is convicted before November.

[08Barack08]

McCain exercised poor judgment by choosing the inexperienced Sarah Palin to lead the free world if he were to become incapacitated.

Agree? Join the movement:

Impalin' the McCain-Palin machine of distrust.

[aOsO]

And the beat to this horrible music goes on....

[HC4BO]

And the skeletons keep coming out ...

Talk about NOT vetting a candidate ...

McSame just provided us with a view of how his administration will be wrought with scandals and I DON'T like what I see ...

On another note, these are the types of stories that need to be pushed out about this Palin person. Nothing to do with her family nor her gender. She is just a bad a veep pick on her own ...

[NoahVail]

Can't you picture McCain in a fighter jet: "Gee, I wonder what this button does?"

"Whooops! Whoa, boy!"

ha ha ha ha ha ha
Thanks.

Just when you are overwhelmed and having your head spin with issues more comes along. This is unbelievable. I need a drink.
