Another day on Wall Street and Just another politician....

I thought that this following article would be a good one to show my readers.

I wanted to get into some of the dynamics of the Wall Street collapse of Merrill Lynch, AIG, and Lehman Bros., but will do that after a bit more research...I can say that one good thing that will come out of that situation is that the interest rates are going to go down, as bonds are rising.

So much for Sarah Palin's claim to be a maverick, someone who doesn't play politics the old-fashioned way. Now she is.

On Monday, John McCain's camp announced that Palin would not cooperate with a bipartisan investigation -- which includes an independent investigator -- of her role in firing Alaska's public safety commissioner.

A McCain campaign spokesman said Palin wouldn't take part "so long as it remained tainted and run by partisan individuals who have a predetermined conclusion."

He was referring to a Democratic state legislator involved in the probe who had said the case might produce criminal charges.

Unfortunately for Palin, she has told the American people she has nothing to hide in this case -- which means she ought to be cooperating fully.

Already, Palin is starting to look like all other politicians. She backtracks when things aren't going her way. She attacks anyone who doesn't agree with her.

And, in this particular case, she's inviting a subpoena for her testimony. If one comes in the next few weeks, Palin could be embroiled in a nasty legal affair touching on her veracity as governor just about the time Americans go to the polls in November.

Here is a response to the editorial from one of the readers;

I left the Christian Church some years ago. Hypocrisy and a flawed "salvation clause" were the clinchers. Saying they believe in the word of God for example while sending bombs and missles at innocent Iraqis (15,000 or more deaths) was too hypocritcal for me and the "all you have to do is ask for forgiveness" clause and all transgressions are swept under the carpet seemed like a blank check for evil - which unprovoked war, "holy" pedophiles, bigotted pastors, and the vile mud slinging politicians of the right bear out - all forgiven! Sarah Palin is the quintessential Right wing Christian politician - Says she's for transparency in government and tries a cover-up before she's even in office. She lauds family values and turns the child rearing over to nanny's and husband to pursue power. Lies about a bridge to nowhere - what else will she lie about? Don't worry, she's just another perfectly hypocritical Christian - she'll be forgiven. Already is apparently by her minions of like minded red necks ready to go to war with Russia. Geeez.. Wake up goons!
