McCain-Palin First Ever Ticket Where Both Candidates Found To Have Violated Ethics Standards Before An Election

Washington Monthly:

Now that Sarah Palin has been found to have abused her powers, violated state ethics, and lied about it, I did a little digging and found an interesting historical footnote.

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.

Wow

They're such Mavericks they don't even obey the law.

Is Cheney a Maverick, too, for "reforming" his constitutional authority?

Birds of a feather plot together.

They were caught thats all.

Some many and so much corruption this only means they are not very smart.

[TGCNY]

They really are some Mavericks

My comment was too harsh? OK, I'll just state this is a sad milestone. How's that?

All one has to do is look at the quality of humans in the Bush administration, and soon we find the Republican base is similar:

Ah shucks....it was just a little ethics standard don't ya know! I winked when I lied so therefore it doesn't count.

That's a sad historical footnote. What's even sadder is that they are a plausible alternative because of who they're against with the inherent racial passions. Amazing.

Yea.

And still those pitchfork wielders will not think twice about voting for them.

McCainPalin has nowhere to go now but down. He can run away from President Bush, but he can't run away from the Republican Party. The Republicans will be regarded from now on as "the party that wrecked America." Over the weeks ahead, as carnage in the economy and the financial markets ramps up, it will become increasingly clear. It is important that this meme be spread through the internet. I urge all commentators to adopt and spread the idea that the Republicans are "the party that wrecked America." It will work because it is the truth.
