More than 13,000 emails detailing almost every aspect of Sarah Palin's governorship of AK painted a picture of her as a conscientious, humorous, and humane woman.
The left-leaning liberal media editors who dispatched teams of reporters to remote Juneau to pour over the emails in the hope of digging up a scandal are now viewing the result as a rather poor return on their considerable investment.
If anything, Palin seems likely to emerge from the scrutiny of the 24,000 pages, contained in 6 boxes weighing 275 pounds, with her reputation considerably enhanced. In fact, the whole saga might come to be viewed as an embarrassment for the liberal media.
The thing to remember about Palin is that she resigned as AK governor, is no longer a public official, and holds no position in the republican party. It's unlikely she has any ambitions to becoming a presidential candidate. Yet, the liberal media seems to worry about her enough to spend much cash and time trying to find something, anything that will tarnish her reputation.
If FOX NEWS would pull a crazy stunt like this, it would be all over the news in a bad light and be called a "witch hunt".

The wack jobs (liberals) will expend resourses and energy on Palin, who hasn't even hinted of even running yet in 2012,Yet they (all liberals) thought it was bad when some conservatives thought it was necesarry for our pretending president (Obama) to just show a birth certificate to prove he was a natural born citizen and met the requirement to hold the office
Hopefully the liberal media will continue with these types of shenanigans, alot of people that I have talked to are starting to wake up a little more to just how fruit loopy the liberals really are, even heard some say " wow, maybe Sarah Palin is smarter than I thought, she's sure got them squirming about something" LOL

I agree, tdb. Why has she got them squirming? They really seem afraid of her. Why?
Even USA Today, who was one of the papers that sent reporters out. After a thorough search they admitted she was a person committed to public service and that the welfare of the state of AK was her major goal.
Of course, since they couldn't find anything derogatory, they did have to point out that she was just the mayor of Wasilla and served only 2 years as governor. Something they failed to note about Obama when he was running for president that he was a greenhorn Senator with little or no experience. We are seeing the result of their ommission now.

My opinion, rather right or wrong is, I believe that they are afraid of her patriotism, and her desire to do what is right, and good for the nation at all cost, even if it means exposing and kicking some of the good ol' boys out of D.C. regardless of what party their affiliated with. I also believe that the current administration, for whatever reason, would like to see get rid of America as we know, and have known it for years, or at the very the very least knock her down a few pegs, and they do not want the likes of Sarah Palin or anyone else to get in their way

When she became governor one of the first things she did was dig into the "under the table" that was going on with the big oil companies by some of the AK legislators, democrat and republican. As a result, some resigned before they could be indicted, some went to jail, and some she just plain exposed. She cleaned house is what happened.
About the only people from AK that didn't like her were probabaly the ones who were dirty themselves.
It's easy to see why the democrats don't like her and there are some republicans who would never openly admit it, but know if she were elected, their jobs would be in jeopardy, and some would go to jail too. That's why even if she decided to run in the primaries, the republicans won't nominate her. Some of them fear her too.

You guys are making the same point I have made since joining this site. Honest people do not get elected to office. The way (national) elections are set up in this country allows for 2 choices. As stated the republicans won't nominate an honest person, nor will the democrats.
Other point made was obamas lack of experience. He won because he was a good public speaker (teleprompter), a novelty, and raised a butt load of money. McCain was old and ran an aweful campaign that basically had no new ideas. And when I say ideas that either party campaigns on I do mean lies. The words lies and ideas are interchangeable during elections.

McCain was a very poor choice on the republican side. You are right in saying he was an old man. He acted like and came across as an old man.
Obama won every debate they had, IMO. McCain stumbled as you would expect an old man to do. I was amazed that McCain won more states than Obama. He just won the ones with the fewer electoral votes and he lost the popular vote as well. Had there been a decent candidate, it would have been a much tighter race.
McCain chose Palin because so many of Hillary's female supporters were upset that Obama got the nomination and McCain thought they would swing their votes to him because of his female choice. But, gender didn't trump party, especially with Palin being very pro-life and conservative and them being pro-abortion and liberal.
McCain wasn't thinking very straight when he chose her. But, it was a great thing for her. He has faded into oblivion, while she has glowingly move up front.

All they could come up with is that he got a drunk driving ticket when he was young and that he was in the National Guard instead of active duty (beats Obama's military service, but they don't mention that). Liberals KNOW there are no honest liberal politicians, so they try to defocus by saying both parties are dishonest. But they can never show examples.

Haus, you sure changed your tune. First you said there are no honest politicians, then when I showed you that was not true, you said "honest people do not get elected to office." Palin got elected to governor of Alaska, and nobody can show me one dishonest thing she has done.
So who is really being dishonest? I think you are.

Nope you win again. I can't give you one dishonest thing she has done. And with my logic I cannot figure out how an honest politician made it into a governor's office. I'm still not admitting she is honest though. I still believe she is a quitter and capitalized on her 15 minutes and made a butt load of cash in the process.

Hawk, they all same the same thing when they can't find anything dishonest about Palin. She's was a quitter. They either ignore or don't want to hear the facts on why she quit as governor of AK.

Yes I've heard the comments that she quit to save her state money from frivilous lawsuits that were being filed against her. Not sure who the victor was though, the people filing the lawsuits, state of alaska, or sarah.

I would say the person (it wasn't people, it was one left wing liberal woman who hated Palin that filed all these lawsuits) won.
The state of AK won by the money they saved from not having to pay to defend her. Sarah was the loser in that she gave in to this idiot of a woman who filed all these complaints and the liberal media used it against her by saying she was a quitter.
In all there were 17 or 18 lawsuits filed. This woman would file one, it would be reviewed, determined to be ridiculous, and dismissed. So, she would file another one and the same thing would happen. After 17 dismissals, none were determined to be accurate or the truth.
An example of the stupidity of these suits was one where Palin was accused of using government transportation for her own family travels. In reality, when she took office one of the first things she did was sell the former governor's private jet that he used to fly around the state in. To save the taxpayers money, when Palin needed to travel from Juneau to Anchorage, she would often hitch a ride on the plane that was transporting prisoners. On one occasion, she had her daughter with her that had to go to see a specialist in Anchorage.
Common sense would say, with all the money she's already saved the taxpayers by selling the former governor's jet and hitching rides with planes that are already going to a certain place, having her daughter along on one occasion, is no big deal. But most liberals are morons that have short circuited brains and they can't help it.

Maybe thats what stands out to me. She ran the crooked politicians out, make the oil companies follow the rules, but one lady was able to run her out of office. Seems like a counter suit or something could have been done.

A countersuit would have continued to cost the taxpayers of AK more money. After each complaint or suit was dismissed by the court, this lady would file another one. I don't remember what the cost had been for the taxpayers when she quit, but it was significant.
