Sarah Palin Goes 'Birther': Obama Birth Certificate 'A Fair Question' (VIDEO)

Sarah Palin Goes 'Birther': Obama Birth Certificate 'A Fair Question' (VIDEO)

Commented Dec 04, 2009 at 13:47:34 in Politics

“There has never been a candidate that was so victimized by the media. There were hundreds of ethics complaints filed against her and all were proven to be false. She had to use her own money to fight these false allegations and her staff had to spend all their time working on them so that they had no time to do Alaska's business.”

“"...all were proven to be false"
==========­==========­=====

There are at LEAST TWO accusations that I can think of (off the top of my head) that DID show Palin culpability. [she is not an innocent victim; free of any wrongdoing]

-- Troopergate [GUILTY of Abuse of Power]

Palin LIED when she insisted that the Branchflower Report ("Troopergate") "showed there was NO unlawful or unethical activity on my part"; in fact, that report prominently stated, "Palin ABUSED her power by VIOLATING Alaska Statute 39.52.110(­a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act."

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/The_Branchflower_report.html

-- Travelgate [GUILTY of erroneosuly charging Alaska? Oopsie!]

Palin was charging the state when her children traveled with her. Palin agreed to reimburse the state about $10,000 for costs associated with 10 trips found to be of questionable state interest among 72 travel authorizations studied.”

“She filed the most expensive complaint on herself so she cou,ld control the outcome. Plus her statements would have been public record. She dosen't want that. Your paychecks will be running out soon. Your boss is finished. She tried to pull oof the biggest hoax in lying about that baby, and everything else. Her book is all lies and she will be brought to task for that under oath. Watch your leader then.”

“The other night I'm at a birthday party. Most of the people were liberals-many of them are very well off. First they were talking about how the democrats health care bill must be passed. Five minutes later they were talking about ways to get out of paying income taxes. I said I thought you liberals were for higher taxes. They said well were not stupid - we want to pay as little as possible. What hypocrites!!!”

SaltySaltillo replied on Nov 24, 2009 at 15:22:07

“You seem to be forgetting something - the bulk of wealth and the bulk of income earned in this country os held by and earned by business organizations (Corporations, LLCs, etc), not upper-middle class individuals. But a big part of politics in this day and age involves the business organizations' lobbyists trying to find ways of deflecting tax liabilities off of themselves onto a readily available, easy target - upper middle class individuals (individuals making between $150 and $400 k per year). The corporations can bring to bear enormous lobbying effort to make miniscule tweaks to the tax code that save these corporations billions of dollars in tax liabilities each year, while the lawyers, doctors, engineers and mid-level managers don't have any similar ability to deflect tax liability through lobbying tweaks to the tax code, and as a consequence they get shafted - this was Warren Buffett's point. If you have BIG money, you can avoid taxes, if you have just a modest wealth, you get shafted on both ends.”

chazmanr replied on Nov 24, 2009 at 15:09:37

“That's not hypocritical at all. The rich all have loopholes which keep them paying far less than the tax rate for their income level. It is far easier to raise the tax rate to get more out of the rich than it is too eliminate the loop holes. It is not hypocritical to want to pay as little in taxes as is legally allowed and advocate for new or higher taxes. Hypocritical would be saying raises taxes on "them", but not me. The people at your party do not seem to have said that at least based on your post.”

“BigDogMom is right. It's the business community that's been exporting so many mfg jobs overseas and leaving the service sector as the major in house employer. When the gov't creates jobs, they're domestic jobs. Say what you want about Democrats, but they're capitalists just like Republicans. They just care more about protecting citizens than Republicans do.”

“No,no, and no. Republicans love war profiteers with our taxpayer money, Halliburton, KBR, and Blackwater have continued to be parasites on the governments teet. .

Mr Bush and fellow republicans killed any regulations that would have helped stop predatory corporations from shipping jobs overseas. Yes, Clinton is definitely guilty like his brothers across the aisle, it still doesn't alter the fact republicans believe in a either/or world view with no creativity. Republicans are stuck in the old status quo of chasing the bottom dollar and trickle down theory to create jobs. Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush have all undermined job creation. NAFTA,GATT, WTO, NO TARIFFS ON CHINESE IMPORTS, OFF SHORE TAX HAVENS, TOO MANY H1-B VISAS , ECT. It's all slanted to have a new world order of slaves and slave wages.

Germany has a socialized and capitalistic industrialized democracy that is one of the biggest exporter nations who provide healthcare for it's citizens.

“Obama inherited a recession, but he is making it worse. I think a lot of people were right that he did not have the experience to be the President.”

Viper replied on Nov 12, 2009 at 12:23:31

“Pure BS... he did not inherit a recession. He inherited a full blown economic collapse and in many ways worse than the great depression. Back in 1930, we made almost everything we used, had almost no debt, had trade surpluses and were not at war.

When he took over our debt had been tripled, the dollar devalued by 50% and we had gone from budget surpluses to a 1.4 trillion annual deficit. The largest single QTR GDP declines in history. 750K jobs per monthbeing lost. An economy that had not created a single net private sector job in 8 years. That had lost 7.5 million MFG jobs. The longest , 2 most expensive wars in our history that need not be!

The trend line has been changed. No one knows who to handle a crisis of this magnitude that rest on an economy that has been hollowed out and deindustrialized over the past 30 years! The credit that made this economy look good to many is GONE/used up! That was 14% of our GDP and there is nothing to replace that!

“First of all, that's not true. Most of the mainstream media is centrist, at best. Secondly, the main criticism against Fox News is not its bias. It's the fact that they are dishonest, they lie, they disinform and act with a clear aim. In other words, it acts more as a dishonest propaganda organization than a legitimate news channel.

There's plenty of evidence of lies, misrepresentation of people on the left, and downright propaganda on Fox News. And while its obvious that people such as Keith Olberman have a bias, he still doesn't act remotely like Glenn Beck, or many of the other propaganda makers at Fox News.”

Frankly sweetie it sounds like you need a tad bit more education and a tad less Fox TV time.

And you're going to sit up here and bring up GWB? Hmmm let's see 2+ trillion spent on 2 wars he didn't win, revealing the name of an undercover CIA agent, no fiscal responsibility, almost put us into a depression, dismantling EPA standards, cutting taxes on the top 2% wage earners (a group you no doubt are not a part of), tourture..­..I mean what the he.ll do you want us to do give the man a freaking cookie for almost destroying the country!

See the problem with people like you is that you live in an alternative reality than the rest of us.

“First of all, it's 'disagrees' not 'disagress­.' Second, he did NOT make a racist comment--he just said he thought the police acted inappropriately (which they did)--NOTHING racist about that. Third, we had plenty of reasons to be 'horrible' to Bush as you say. But no one was allowed to bring loaded weapons to Bush appearances, and we didn't stage protests with posters of Bush as Hitler or the Joker. Also, the death threats agains the president have skyrocketed since President Obama took office. And I do believe those are coming from conservatives and wingers.”

And, yes, the police officer was stupid.... he charged into a home that he thought might have an armed robber in it without backup? then when he saw that it wasn't that at all, he didn't try to diffuse the situation, instead ramping it up and arresting the man in his own home?

Say I don't want my tax dollars going to maintain the health of a chronically ill, lung cancer stricken smoker who has had a 5 pack a day habit for the last 20 years. To me, smoking is wrong, yet MY tax dollars could still go to HIS medical costs that are result of HIM doing something I think is wrong. But that's life -- we can't pick where our tax dollars go just because we want to.

A lot of things need to be done to fix health care and the abortion issue, including increased access to ALL forms of contraception, comprehensive sex education, etc, but limiting access to a legal procedure is wrong.”

“GeorgiaR,

You need to turn Beck, Hannity, and RUsh, off for a while. You do not understand how it worked in the 50's. The rich NEVER paid those tax rates. They got around them by investing in AMERICAN industries that created jobs. The 90% tax rate gave them incentive to invest. Now they just take their lower tax rate and send their money overseas to invest in cheap labor.

The evidence is there that shows that as the top tax rate has declined, so has the pay for the American worker in real dollars. Back in the 50's women worked because they wanted to, not because they had to. Families made it on one income.”
