And you thought Wright was bad?

So you're saying Palin is following the former guest speaker around now? Or you were just trolling and actually did not bother to read the thread, hence the reason you are coming across as just a wee bit behind the "got a point" cue ball?

You need not answer, or crawl up from under thy bridge. Boy I hope your first two posts were better than that diaper full of Indian food.
 

So you're saying that because a individual who was put in charge of conducting an investigation into Palin turned out to be hopelessly biased, the solution to that is not to put someone less biased into the position, but to not choose Palin as the VP?

Hilarious.

Oh wow is Palin a Pentecostal?
That is very scary.
Very very scary.


My only experience with them is that several years ago a herd of them jumped my girl friend in a park while she was drinking.
They held her down and chanted over her in some foreign language.
They told her she was possessed by demons and that they had to help her.
This went on for at least a half hour.
1 of them was bleeding profusely and had almost bitten off his lower lip.
Their eyes were all rolled back in their heads as though it was THEM who were possed by demons.
Finally they all agreed that she can't be saved.
And they left her be.

Those people are big time scary.
 

Flawless logic.

This one time, one of my friends got robbed by a black guy. Therefore we cannot vote Obama.
 

Was she? :shock:
 
Accused of being hopelessly biased. I don't think you or anyone else can make a determining judgment on the truth at this point.

If you don't read his quotes and conclude that he's hopelessly biased, then I don't know what to tell you.

Just sounds like someone who has more information that you or I. I don't read a definite bias, unless you have some way to prove it won't be a problem for Palin?

The Alaskan Legislature often does not vote or function on strict party lines. The Senate majority this past session was composed of a coalition of both Republicans and Democrats put together by Lyda Green, who feuded with Sarah despite their both being Republicans. Alliances can get rather complicated, as there are distinct differences between regions in this very large state that overwhelm party memberships. The legislative investigation involves representatives of both parties; Hollis was just selected as the leader. Branchflower is regarded by some with suspicion of having a political agenda, but I think that's unlikely, given the amount of oversight, and his past record as a prosecutor.

I expect Democrats to make whatever hay they can out of Sarah's poor decisions in this matter, and Republicans to seek to delay the results of the investigation for as long as possible, preferably until late November. I expect the more devious of the Democrats to go along with delays up to a point, hoping for a damaging report in late October.

Getting nominated as VP has been a marvelous distraction for a few weeks, then it will be back to the swamp for Sarah for a bit. The legislature will issue subpoenas next week to the reluctant "witnesses", which will touch off some legal fights and pretty much doom Sarah's "transparent government" theme. Hollis French has said they will not subpoena Sarah, but that she will give a deposition to Branchflower. I expect that's occupying much of the McCain strategy team right now.

Bottom line: there will be more than one "bias" aimed at this investigation. Hopefully they'll cancel out and just the truth will remain.
 

ummmm, no.

I said that he was already conducting the investigation prior to her nomination.

That's what I said.

You know, getting things cleared up. I would hate for anyone to assume that French was put in charge of the investigation after Palin's nomination. These things have a way of being twisted.

Hilarious?
Not so much.
 

Where did I say or imply otherwise?

So you're saying that because a individual who was put in charge of conducting an investigation into Palin turned out to be hopelessly biased
