On the eve of a report on a legislative panel's abuse-of-power investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, campaign officials released their own report clearing her of any wrongdoing.
Palin, running mate to Republican presidential nominee John McCain, is the subject of two inquiries into whether she abused her power by firing her public safety commissioner. The commissioner says he was dismissed for resisting pressure to fire Palin's former brother-in-law, a state trooper.
Lawmakers are expected to release their findings Friday.
The report the McCain-Palin campaign released Thursday night says the firing was based on a budget dispute. Since then, the report says, the matter has been muddled with innuendo, rumor and politics.

"The UIC records show that Obama and Ayers attended board meetings, retreats and at least one news conference together as the education program got under way. The two continued to attend meetings together during the 1995-2001 operation of the program, records show.
At a Democratic debate this year when the association between Obama and Ayers was raised, Obama said: “This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood. . . . He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.” Obama called Ayers’ past radical acts detestable.
But critics note that Obama visited Ayers’ home for a meeting at the start of his first state Senate bid in the mid-’90s.
The UIC records showed that Ayers was instrumental in securing the $50 million education grant to reform Chicago Public Schools, part of a national initiative funded by the late Ambassador Walter Annenberg. . After Chicago was awarded the money, Obama served as president of the Challenge’s board of directors, the fiscal arm that disbursed the grants to schools and raised private matching funds. Ayers participated in a second entity known as the Chicago School Reform Collaborative, the operational arm that worked with the grant recipients.
Ayers, now a professor at the University of Illinois, Chicago, served with Barack Obama on the board of the charitable Woods Fund of Chicago for three years and helped launch Obama’s political career in Illinois by hosting in his Hyde Park home an informal campaign event for the future state senator in 1995."- Seriously. Ayers is 30 years past his radical stage and he paid his dues to society.TheBlueOne
- What's the difference between him and G. Gordon Liddy or Oliver North - same radical shit...TheBlueOne
- ..oh wait...some are on the right and others are on the left..i get it...TheBlueOne
- ayers said he still believes what he did was right in a 2004 interview. there's a difference between being un-american and anit-american,johndiggity
- and anti-american.johndiggity
- And the board they were both on was funded by the fucking Republicans...TheBlueOne
- And G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North are still traitors as far as I'm concerned, but the Right loves them..so fuck youTheBlueOne
- Ayers should be shot dead and in no way be allowed to teach at a University.********

I love how all the conservatives who now claim they don't like Bush because he isn't a "real conservative" are all gaga over Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is exactly like Bush - a folksy, socially conservative anti intellectual with no curiosity about the world and a habit for appointing her unqualified friends to government positions. She is not fiscally conservative either. She was a small town mayor a few years ago, and she managed to leave her town in millions of dollars of debt.

Starting to get an ugly feeling these fuckwit redneck republicans will whip up the fear campaign so much in the next few weeks that they'll win. Serious shit...absolutely despicable.
I swear to god, if McPalin get in, there's going to be fucken riots everywhere because the only way they can possibly get elected is by scaring the shit out of people and spewing forth their racist pathetic ideologies which are all founded on hatred.
- im sure obama is used to racist remarks by now, hopefully he has something up his sleeveakoni

Saw Biden tonight in Jefferson City, MO... I know (where?)... He was great and very inspiring. I really hope Obama wins. Sorry, couldn't help but to try and spread my enthusiasm.

i think McDonalds should have a special called the McPalin, like fish on a hotdog bun or something. That'd win votes.
