Allegations of abuses of power. You must mean Troopergate. Interesting that the trooper who was allegedly at the center of that debate has admitted he used a taser on his 11-year-old stepson. I don't know whether or not Sarah Palin encouraged this guy be fired, but ask yourself this - shouldn't he have been?
She's a young earth creationist, which to you, is the ultimate demonstration of her severe lack of critical thinking abilities. Wow, this is such an arrogant statement, I hardly know where to begin. She disagrees with you so she must not be capable of thought. Well done.
Her position on the Bridge to Nowhere is a bit peculiar. Lies? I don't know. Change of position? Maybe. But how does it have anything to do with the campaign? Let me ask you something - and be honest, don't look it up - what's the REAL name for the "Bridge to Nowhere"? If it's that serious of an issue, I'd imagine you'd know it without relying on Wikipedia. (And no, I didn't know it either, because it's not an issue to me.)
The only thing she's doing is repeating GOP talking points. Right, because Barack Obama is so fresh with universal healthcare, raising taxes on the wealthy, "change", ending the war, and race baiting.
If you can find information that confirms Senator McCain was literally grandfathered into Annapolis, I'd love to hear it. Until then, you're just mudslinging.
Again, I'm HARDLY a party faithful. I was a registered democrat who grew up at boot camp, and I later registered a republican. I'm not at all thrilled with McCain - I like Sarah Palin, but I think McCain is far too moderate to satisfy me.
That said, he's a THOUSAND times better for my principles than Barack Obama.
EDIT: And PS - If I'm in the "minority", so be it. I'm not one to care whether or not I'm doing what the cool kids are doing. I make my decisions based on my core values, not on what the polls suggest others are doing.
So let me get this straight, you're ok with illegal abuses of power as long as it ends well? The "ends justifies the means" will make an excellent presidential policy; Bush would be honored. The funny part is that she abused her power, and still didn't get the result she wanted. Also, this was not the only abuse of power allegation that has surfaced.
The Bridge to Nowhere was the Gravina Island Bridge, and the Road to Nowhere. I'm pretty well informed of all things relating to Palin. This includes reading the articles from Alaskan newspapers when Palin was supporting the bridge to the Ketchican Airport.
I didn't say that McCain was grandfathered into the Naval Academy, I said that being in the top 20% of your high school class is not at all hard, and I am also sure that had he not been in the top 20% of his class, that two Admirals would have the power to get him in. They certaintly kept him from getting kicked out when he crashed expensive military planes.
My reference to her repeating talking points even if they don't make sense, was coming from the following quotes.
