You’ve got to hand it to them. The Democrats and radical lefties know how to hit below the belt. For the umpteenth time in a long string of dismissed complaints, a leaked investigative memo details that soon to be ex-Governor Palin may have traded on her influence for personal gain.
The report is so laughably shoddy and lacking in common sense. It lacks two important things: One, any mention of what Palin may have traded (in kind) for contributions to the defense fund. Instead, the report states that a normal individual wouldnt be able to raise money like that and “Were it not for the fact that she is governor and a national political figure, it is unlikely that many citizens would donate money to her legal defense fund.” Can you say CLINTON LEGAL DEFENSE FUND???
ANYONE? BUEHLER? BUEHLER?
So, not even an accusation of what may have been done in kind, simply the fact that private individuals are contributing to a legal defense fund for Palin to help her dismiss these complaints is enough to be an ethics violation. Lawyers from many sources are calling the finding crazy. As loony as many of Palins detractors is more like it. If it were, by the most infinitesimally small chance, upheld, no governor would be able to defend themselves against ethic complaints. Every politician has to raise money to hire a lawyer.
Secondly, the only penalty that might come about for this so-called ethics abuse? In the words of investigator Thomas Daniel: Stop taking the money. Not even a recommendation for a formal hearing. My guess? This ridiculous report, which may not even have been filed yet, just leaked from some yakkety yak liberal, wouldnt stand the light of day in a hearing. Thats why he doesnt want it to get there.
If American citizens want to contribute to Palins Legal Defense, whos to say they cannot? Americans speak with their wallets. Some estimates say the fund has raised $500,000 so far. Thats a lot of voice some Democrats and Lefties apparently dont like.
Does Palin even matter anymore?
Misogynist Pedroza at work again. The rule of law is the issue. You might try at least imitating the concerns of a “Libertarian”.
If it doesnt matter to you because of who the target is, well, as the saying goes, “when they finally came for me, there was no one left to help”.
“a leaked investigative memo” to which there is no source reference – where’s the body? – seems like pretty much of a straw-man complaint to generate some noise to wake-up the dead Palin horse.
You should all read the New York Slimes article about this..it was actually..oh my God I can’t believe I am gonna say this..it was actually FAIR. No smearing of Sarah, just stated the facts, also said that Sarah hasn’t even collected the money that the defense fund made. Basically this entire story is one big yawn fest. This is the best the libs could come up with. Fine, so here is an idea, the defense fund gives the money back to everyone who donated, and we, who donated, take that money and give it to Sarah’s Pac. Either way she will get the money. Good God what idiots the far left are. Also, you might want to know that the supposed journalist who “broke” this story, she has a facebook page and who is on her facebook page, guess who..LINDA BIEGAL, A.K.A, Celtic Diva, yep, turns out they are buddies. Also, on Eddie Burke’s radio show today, turns out this woman was at Sarah’s resignation news conference, and after wards saw a woman wearing a Pro Sarah T-Shirt, the reporter went up to her and was caught on video saying to her “How can you support the Governor” yeah that’s fair and balanced journalism..NOT. The lawyer Thomas Daniel, he worked for Obama, Kerry, and Mark Begich, I am beginning to see things much clearer now. This is coming from the top.
Here is the link to photobucket of D’Oro’s Facebook friends. She has since deleted Celtic Dogva. Thank God for photobucket.

Good catch. Awful.
Palin is a joke. She will never again be elected to any office, period.
