An independent investigator has found that Sarah Palin may have broken ethics laws by accepting private gifts to help pay her legal costs.

The report obtained by The Associated Press says Palin is securing unwarranted benefits and receiving improper gifts through the Alaska Fund Trust, set up by supporters.
You know, whenever somebody stands on a pedestal and tells everybody else how to live their lives, a little red light always goes off in my head.

Stick a fork in Palin's political career. It is done.

So what you're saying is that because Palin couldn't afford and shouldn't have had to use her own money to defend against the fourteen baseless ethics complaints the nazis have filed against her in the very recent past, they can now file an ethics complaint against her for trying to defend herself from them, when in fact she wouldn't have had to make this mistake if those nazis hadn't filed so many bogus claims already.

How about if we change the ethics laws so that people who file ethics charges that are subsequently thrown out have to re-imburse the full cost of defending against them and have to pay the falsely accused a reparation not to be less than 100% of the costs their false allegations incurred?

To put things in their proper perspective....did the Clintons pay any taxes on their legal defense funds when they pocketed the remainder of the funds when the legal issues were not pursued by Bush, and what favors were traded for donations to those funds?

Well, I'm sure it's all very interesting, having a red light district in your head, but that's really T.M.O.

The simple fact of the matter is that with outside help, or new income, the Palin's could never pay their legal debts, which is also illegal. this should suggest certain things to you about the nature of the laws and ethics involved in these matters.

This is exactly what many of us just knew inside our gutt that this piece of phoney baloney holier than thou crap was going to get hers eventually. One has to wonder if old Igloo knew that this was coming and decided to quit before the heat got too much and iGloo had a melt down.

What pizzes me off is the crap that those of us who had said that this sorry excuse for a "reformer" was a phoney baloney had to take every time we told the truth about this dispicable Cover Girl for Corruption Monthly. Oh yeh us truth sayers we were accused of partisanship.

Well look around guys we have Palin and Blogo and Don't Cry For Me Argentina and Traficant and how about Bathroom Boy Craig and Biil-o Clinton and the whoremaster from Lousiana -- yeh guys both parties swim in the swill of the political and moral cesspool of corruption!!!

I can't say I'm surprised by the latest turn of events. Palin engineered this train wreck by signing legislation that gave her critics the loopholes they're using against her.

hey Clinton managed to pay off his legal debts so Corruption Cover Girl should be able to do just fine !!!

It's the same old thing of these dispicable people thinking that they are above the law and above the moral code of ethics that they mouth off as them actually believing in.
 
Sarah Palin resigned, they are attacking a American citizen that has about the same amount of power as me politically. They are using the full force of the government on a US citizen?... Joe the Plumber anyone?

After this latest little ditty has surfaced one would think that the Palin Apologists would finally wake up and realize that yes at least half of the "allegations" against her were true if not all.

It's like the OP said "somebody stands on a pedestal and tells everybody else how to live their lives, a little red light always goes off in my head."

Come off it !! It does not matter if you are the POTUS or Joe Schmoe the make believe plumber if you do the crime you need to be punished. Being a citizen has duties and one of those duties is obeying the law and when a citizen or non citizen violates the law then hell yes "the full force of the government " should come down on their heads.

DO CRIME- DO TIME !!!!
 
You mean like cheating on taxes? So you must take the position that 5 of the member on Obama's staff needs to go to jail correct?

Really so lets go back to the Clintons then shall we huh want to talk about there Defense fund or how about the fact that she wasn't the one who set this up. Ord. regular Citz. did samething happens when you go to a grocery Store and see a jar for a Cancer Person asking for Donations.

In the end it will be thrown out like all of the other stupid lawsuits.

I suggest that all of you who are pilling on to MrsPalin walk a very fine line because I will bring up all the nasty little items that The Clinton got with their Defense Fund starting wiht the fact they never paid any Tax's on it and they pocket the left over money with out paying any tax's.
 
Like I've said, she's dumber than a doornail.

Yeh she wasn't nearly as smart as she believed her own self to be. Who I really feel sorry for are her rabid apologists who are still sailing on that river in Epypt.
 
How can we take this seriously, when there were 15 other charges that turned out to be bogus? Number 16's the charm?

that's stupid. they paid their back taxes and their FINES! See, they were fined, hence getting consequences for their actions. Sheesh.
 
So wait...there's another investigation that has not been shown to have merit, she hasn't been convicted...actually hasn't even been charged with anything and we have the usual suspects in here caterwauling and derangedly obsessing over Palin as if she was caught eating babies with the devil himself.

How many ethics investigations has this been now? And how many have actually been shown to have merit?

Yeah, give me a holler when there's something more interesting going on here than the rabid mouthfoaming of the PDS crowd who still can't let the woman be even after getting their merry little way and driving her to resignation just to try and protect her family.
 
So did Spearow Agnew, your side said he deserved to go to jail even after paying them back... Your position seems biased based on what you have typed thus far.

hahahahahahaha... and yours isn't? One's opinion is ALWAYS biased one way or the other. Only the right thinks there is such things as ultimate truth from their own perspective.

Really? So despite the investigations of 14 allegations all turning up no wrong-doing, you still want to deceitfully and rabidly cling to this blatant falsehood that "at least half the allegations against her were true, if not all". I mean, despite all evidence and FACT involved in the case, you want to sit here and bandy about ignorant, emotional assertions devoid of any substantive quality and expect to be taken seriously? Really? Seriously? *shakes head with disgust*

What you are apparently not understanding is that when many of us express disgust with immorla behavior and corruption it is not partisan it is just the quest for truth. Have I or have any or people who tell the truth about the Palin made excuses for the Clintons ? You will not find any sob sories supporting the Clinton Crime family by me.

Many of us express disgust about corruption and phoney baloney politicians and it is not partisan. What is partisan is the blind denial and support that some people give the Palin just because she is a sacred cow and the last great hope to stir up the GOP. Sure she attracts crowds but you better beware becuse it is obvious that she is not the holy sacred cow you thought she was because her stories are being proven to be BULL !!!
