Exaggerate it why don't ya?

Well there is a person who is a terrorist and a person is a racist that Obama has been associated with – that’s not an exaggeration. The nature of that association has been argued, but the associations themselves have been admitted by Obama. These are some of the skeletons that have been pulled out of Obama’s closet, which I find far more disturbing then Palin exercising her rightful authority as governor to fire a person for reasons independent of her personals views.

Find something else. Because this doesn’t even start to equate to Obama’s skeletons.

But the cat picture is pretty cool.

It doesn’t make any difference whether she did or not, objectively. She had reasons for firing the guy independent of her personal views. So it doesn’t really make any difference what her personal views are, accept that it gives people opportunities to play politics.

Okay, I won't.

So are you proud of having two candidates who have both been found to have violated ethics standards? It must give you such a nice, warm, comforting feeling deep inside, right?

The Republican Party really has become the party that hates intelligence and competence, and it's not me who's saying that, that's from David Brooks ( http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/10/opinion/10brooks.html?_r=1&oref=slog
in
).

You love Reagan so much, do you think he would've approved of this type of campaigning? Heck, he and Nancy distanced themselves from McCain after he left his first wife because even then they thought he was too unethical as a person.

Finn, you DON'T and CAN'T know that (sound familiar there?), why can YOU 'KNOW' something like that & others can't? Grandiosity much?

Chris is right, AURaptor got a hold of Finn's log-in details somehow, I don't recognize this Finn at all. Or maybe it IS Finn, and he's sold is soul in pursuit of grand power for the GOP ... much like McCain himself ... poetic ...

Yeah, she, uh, thought he could recruit better, and uh, his budgets needed work- sounds like firin' territory to me!

You SO know you're wrong on this one Finn. You put up a good act, though.

I also can’t know that she abused her authority. You’re putting faith in the outcome of an investigation that could very likely be politically motivated. All I’m saying is that

1. as governor she was within her rightful authority to fire the guy, that much I know

and

2. She had reasons independent of her personal views that much is admitted to by the investigation.

So the investigation states that she abused her authority because she had personal reasons for firing Monegan, while at the same time stating that there were legitimate reasons. But if there were legitimate reasons then what difference to the personal reasons make? I can only fire people I like?????? No. I can fire people I don’t like. I just have to have a reason for it, which evidently Palin did.

now we're getting a little further,

but you're still conflating two different things,

Palin was found to have abused her authority because she tried to get the trooper fired, something she had no business getting involved in.

I'm not going to mention a sentance about the rest of it, because that seems to confuse matters greatly...somehow.
