What do you think about Palin being bold to take on corruption in high places?

Question

McCain has done this & so has Palin.

And have been successful. Corruption in high places is something that has been a problem since when. Because power corrupts. And I want the sneeky illegal corruptions exposed.

Answer 1

I think Palin is the perfect choice. She is a real person and not some lawyer looking to line her pockets or get a lucrative book deal. We need more people like Palin in government. If we did, it would not be corrupt. She is honest and the kind of person that will truly represent us and look out for the American taxpayer.

Answer 2

Obama has also worked to expose corruption and pass laws to prevent it or at least make it harder.

My mom exposed corruption locally too... I stil don't believe she really has the experience to take on washington.

But perhaps more importantly, she actually believes that it would be a good idea to teach creationism along with evolution, that a girl brutally raped must bear any baby that results, that human needs and greed for more and more oil must come before any animal or beautiful clean place on this earth.

I think that after the initial HUGE BUZZ of this selection it will be clear that only the most ultra right wingers and possibly a few guys thinking with their ***** will be attracted to the republican ticket because of Palin.  She may even drive off some of the more middle leaning republicans.  

Answer 3

It simply means that she will be kept out of the good old boys inside circles.

Do you honestly think the Republicans want a traitor amidst them?

NOT!

John McCain said that the duties of a VP were twofold:  To see if the President's health was okay and to go to funerals.

That's all Palin will be doing.

Answer 4

I support ethical behavior.

Democrats for McCain/Palin.

Answer 5

Anyone who successfully gets rid of corrupt govt officials and those doing business with same are worthy of our congratulations.  But, the only two duties of a Vice President are to become President and Commander in Chief should the President die or become unable to serve, and to break a tie vote in the US Senate.

I will gladly salute Gov. Palin for fighting corruption but I can never support her as Vice President because of her noticeable lack of any foreign relations experience.

The fact that the Governor would be a heartbeat away from being our Commander in Chief is absolutely chilling to me.  And, given his age and cancer scares, Sen. McCain needed to make his choice of Vice President in a thoughtful and respectful manner as it is possibly the most important decision he may ever make.  Unfortunately, he failed to do this.  

Answer 6

I wish them luck but the corrupted know how to cover it up, their chances of uncovering any are slim That was why the CIA FBI and other offices were created. Mr G.E Hoover who ran the FBI used it for his own police force against his opponents and he did quite well, Government has grown so large that it is near impossible to detect because of the large amount of documents that have to be read to find it. I would be happy if they are able to start drilling for oil and build refineries and put some new power plants on line to provide for the energy we need. That is more important to me than the corruption.

Answer 7

I think that is the sort of thing we need in Washington.  Just because you belong to a certain political party does not mean you have to agree with everything they say, and it doesn't mean that you just sit by and watch them break the law or abuse their power.  If you see corruption, do the ethical thing and call them out on it.  Get 'em out of there.  And I have seen this sort of drive in President McCain and VP Palin :D.

Answer 8

She needs to expose the Keating 5 scandal!  Or the Valerie Plame scandal!

She only went after those corrupt GOP members, to clear the way for her forms of corruption.  She's under indictment for abuse of power. She was a mayor of a tiny village of only 9,000 people.  Do you really want her just a feeble heart beat from the presidency?  

McCain is just the " sacrificial lamb"  of the neo-cons.  He isn't supposed to win! The "fix" was in for Clinton,but along came Obama ! The neo-cons knew that if Hillary was president, she would be totally controlled by the attacks and smears from the fascist corporate media.She has a "Kick Me" sign on her back,and can never get it off! The fact that Obama won the primary, shows that the neo-cons are weakening,and are getting desperate!  The "false flag" operation in Georgia,was a direct action of the McCain camp to scare the American people. His top foreign policy adviser is the leading lobbyist for the Georgian govt.!  Innocent humans were slaughtered for the need for votes! When McCain says his trademark phrase "My friends" ,he's just being sarcastic! He's not my friend!  

Answer 9

Sarah Palin has more guts than Barack Obama. Obama couldn't even tell Jeremiah Wright to his face to lay off. Obama had to disown his ailing grandmother behind her back. Palin stood up to the powerful. She put her life on the line. Obama has never done any such thing.  

Answer 10

Why did she have to 'take on corruption in high places'?

Because her party in Alaska is corrupt to the core? (As the GOP is all over.)

I call that 'putting one's house in order'. Nothing more.

Answer 11

Sold the Governors private jet on Ebay, and drives or flies commercial. "I told Congress we don't want your bridge to nowhere. If we want a bridge, we will build it ourselves" Got to love her!

Being under investigation does not make you guilty. It means you have ticked off a lot of good ole boys, Washington insiders and Bidens oink oink buddys

Answer 12

I want real "change" and regardless of the parroting of Mc Same, I am looking forward to Mrs. Palin Goes To Washington.  

Answer 13

you mean by taking on herself and changing her mind about the bridge to nowhere or being under investigation for abuse of power of her political office?

Answer 14

Starting November 5 I think there is going to be a pall of smoke over Washington as virtually every member of congress gets to work burning all those confidential memos they wouldn't want to be read in an open courtroom.  Ron Paul will continue business as usual.

Answer 15

You missing the fact she's under investigation?

Answer 16

What about that her brother in law issues?

Can she be bold to take on contraception in high places?

44 yrs giving birth to 5 th deformed baby?

I think one need to have/use commonsense before becoming a Governor.

Answer 17

The McCain/Palin team give me great hope that corruption can be defeated...

Answer 18

lol...corruption in high places...why didn't they take on Bush and Cheney...the most corrupt at the HIGHEST level.  

McCain and Palin will just be more failed Bush policies!

Answer 19

Palin and corruption?.... she'd better clean up her own backyard before she tackles anyone else's......

Answer 20

I think it's much better to take on corruption than to be in bed with it (*cough*obama*cough*).

Answer 21

She made an oil company drill in Alaska, and build pipelines? Right. She sure took those guys on.

Answer 22

YES.  She may have to kick B Hussein Obama out of Senate....also Pelosi.....her dad was a huge criminal from east coast.

Answer 23

I sincerely hope she carries that fire with her and takes on corruption in DC.

Answer 24

Sounds good to me. I live in a state whose motto ought to be "We don't condone corruption; we INSIST upon it."

OK, it's New Jersey. You know, the place where our last governor wanted to set up HIS LOVER as head of NJ's Homeland Security Department (yeah, apparently there is one), despite the fact that said lover had NO security clearances whatsoever. The person's sole qualification was being the governor's lover.

I'm not originally from this state, and I think that people who have lived here all their lives think it's normal. I know better.

But people who characterize one political party or another as the source of all their problems are just engaging in stereotypes. And that's ignorance. That is why I did not disclose the ex-gov's party affiliation. The main problem was HIM, not his party.

We have a lot of power if we stick together to do what we can to see that the wrong people don't come to power, or at least that they don't stay in power, even if it's just to email their offices and let them know what we think, or what we WILL be thinking about when we vote.

Answer 25

I think no matter what President and VP is elected that Congress is the real issue.

To answer your question, I think Palin is a great choice and I love her tenacity to go after the big guns.

Answer 26

Evil exists because it does.

Evil persists only when good people do nothing.

Answer 27

She is the person we have been waiting for, God Bless Her
