http://tinyurl.com/5uw7fa These bizarre allegations about Palin are coming from unnamed sources according to the media. Imo they need to name their sources or stop floating these stories. Either the Democrat p.r. war is still on from the election or McCain/the GOP establishment is seeking to hang their lost election on a convenient target. The blame for the GOP loss should be placed where it belongs, on Bush. Dumbya cosmically squandered his two terms in office and put the whole human species at risk in the process. That's what did in McCain/Palin's election hopes in no uncertain terms. If it's the GOP doing this, they're absolute cowards and prove once again why they can't be trusted with power for the foreseeable future. Frankly, I smell Karl Rove all over this situation. --L.B. |
