Palin Calls for Stevens to Step Down

while so many of you are touting Obama as our economic messiah who is going to help the middle class so much, I would like to remind you of an article the New York Times (admittedly a newspaper with Democratic leanings) ran in 1999. The article warned that Bill Clinton was pressuring mortgage companies to loosen the rules of lending so that home loans would be more accessible to poor people. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were authorized to approve risky loans.

At the time the article was run, Barack Obama was working for an organization in Chicago pressuring banks and mortgage companies to do the same thing. One party--the Republican party--tried repeatedly to tighten up the rules, but were blocked by a Democratic majority in Congress.

Isn't it convenient, now that those disastrous decisions have finally caused everything to come crashing down, that you have Bush to point the finger at, and Obama to "save" us?? And while we're at it, let's bash Palin all we can, too.

LOL @ every comment saying Palin should take her own advice consiering she was just found guilty of abusing her power as governor, but thought the outcome was great, and embarrassed Alaska by saying so. LOLOLOL @ the GOP ticket. Poor McCain, he wasn't so bad before all of this began. Stupid mistakes he has made by selecting her.

If Stevens does win the election and steps down November 5th, Palin can pronounce herself as his replacement for the remainder of his current and next term.

palin, palin. why didn't you resign from the ticket when the legislative investigation found you guilty of abusing power as governor of alaska? that is corruption too and you as well as stevens are in the same bucket labeled, corruption. if mccain loses the election, he will have palin to thank for it. of course, mccain will also have helped defeat himself too.

She should take her own advice!

Nothing says "statesman" like seven felony convictions.

Did she also ask for that massage chair he said he 'borrowed' from friends

I just finished listening to Sarah Palin's speech, and it's was scary. She kept saying "Free People." This is probably what politicans were saying back in the mid 1800s. We all know how certain groups of people and women were suppressed during that time.

She is sabre rousing. Why is she soo divisive? She would be more liked if she was a uniter.

Can you imagine the audacity of palin to ask steven to resign? Its like a kettle calling a pot black. palin should instead step down as a nominee for vice president. She did worst things than steven as a mayor and a governor. She has no moral grounds whatsoever to ask anyone to resign. She has made history as the first candidate running for vice presidency to be indicted of a crime. SHAME ON YOU PALIN!!

It was on the national news this morning that Kansas has the lowest prices for gas and Alaska has the highest.

Palin, say it isn't so !

Why isn't Palin in jail yet?

She and her husband make me sick. I can't help but wonder why they want to go to the White House when they want Alaska to seperate from the Lower 48.

I'm sick of her lies and can't wait till I can watch tv again without seeing her face.

When it comes to unethical behavior, Palin is late to the game. Troopergate? that's child's play for an old coot like Ted Stevens. Go away, Palin, leave Ted alone. You're a punk by comparison. Go build another crappy hockey arena for $15,000,000 and then we'll talk.

The first time Stevens defrauded the American taxpayer by accepting bribes, Palin was in kindergarten. Ted Stevens says "thanks for the advice, now go cry a river."

Palin can't even get McCain to campaign in Michigan... how can she get Ted Stevens to drop out of the Senate? Her appeal is nothing but a smoke screen. Reform THIS, Palin.

If Palin and McCain can't get their own senator, Ted Stevens to quit the Senate, how can the American voters expect McCain-Palin to reach across the aisle to influence Democrats. They are impotent.

Why should Stevens step down? Who died and made Palin the head of the Republican Party? Hey, wait a minute.. the head of the Republican party is supposed to be John McCain.

Of course Palin is going to call for Stevens to step down. She's going to need a job when the election is over.

"Well let's see, almost six years ago, when Sarah Palin was the Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and becoming a national expert on energy,"

How does 1 year as Chairman of the Oil & Gas Conservation that followed 1 year on the board make one an energy expert?

She was tapped the public at large by crony appointment.

I did not see her announcement however I did use my fancy decoder ring - I entered all the words written and after 5 minutes and a near explosive demise to my decoder ring I was able to make sense of what she said! I need a drink

Do the research people. The middle class is better off under Obama's tax plan.
