Palin reality check.

Palin needs to be sued by the former commissioner.

Qualifications for President

What are the qualifications for President?

"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office, who shall not have attained to the age of 35 years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States."

That is the beauty of our country and as you can see Gov. Palin would qualify even if she were running for President.

The same cannot be said about Sen. Obama. He has not produced an original document proving his birth in the United States. It is claimed he was born in Hawaii. However his sister has a Certification of Birth from Hawaii and she was born in Indonesia. The only document that has been provided for Sen. Obama is a forged (so say document examiner/experts)Certification of Birth from Hawaii. Daniel Berg has filed suit against the Democratic Party to produce documentation that he was born in the U.S. Sen. Obama traveled to Pakistan in his 20s on an Indonesian passport. He has never denounced his Indonesian citizenship and it is illegal to run for President if you have dual citizenship. This is just 1 among many reasons what Sen. Obama says and what he does cannot be trusted.

It bothers me that we might have someone running for this high office that is actually not eligible - if it doesn't bother others then I guess it is the end of all respect for the laws of this land.

I'm really amazed at all the people saying Gov. Palin is not eligible to be VP. Our founding documents make it pretty simple that anyone of us would be eligible if we meet the qualifications. I for one am tired of what the "experts" with all the right "qualifications" (i.e. having a law degree) have given us in government service.

Poll Question

Us News or any other respectable news source should conduct this poll;

Do You Believe Sarah Palin is an Idiot??

Mia

My favorite is the reasoning that Palin was not unethical because she did not receive any monetary amount---well, I guess she just incriminated herself in another controversy: charging rape victims for rate kits.

Not a Joe's Six Pack ~ not a hockey mom? You are one of the propaganda victems of themagnificent marxist messiah.

Palin and wooten

A threat against a presidential candidate even hearsay is serious. Go tell some one that you are going to attack the president and see how quick they come and get you.

Palins accuser is the former democratic Governor whom Palin defeated in the election. Why did she have him in her administration . she should have know better that to trust a democret.

Troopergate

If she was so scared of him why did she get rid of all the security people when she became Gov. yes she did that and to me that just shows how one can use a position to get what you want VP can be abused also help America,We need better!!

Rename it "FRENCHGATE"

The real scandal is Hollis French et. al. So lets rename it "FRENCHGATRE".

The report is a false accusation.

Palin is being targeted by political opponents for trying to do a good job.

Gov. has right to hire and fire to get things done.

Even if they is complains about Wooton, she is just doing her duty to protect ALL citizens from murder.

Obama's supporter Hollis French already had the conclusion months ago.

As usual it is dangerous to have elect lawyers

.

NOBABA

It's Sarah Six-Pack that can't be trusted

Now that Sarah Palin has been found to have violated Alaska's ethic law, perhaps we've seen the last of her shameless smear campaign against Barack Obama. The verdict is in - it’s Sarah Six-Pack that cannot be trusted. What was John McCain thinking when he selected this political hack as his vice-presidential candidate

If Sarah's sister married such an obnoxious man, it seems she shows the same poor judgment as Sarah. No wonder they are so close! Sarah is finding out her lies about Obama are backfiring and the gap is widening! People want positive leaders. Get with the program.
