Read Daniel Ellsberg’s article on Truthout.org – “Obama Fears Military Revolt”

He compairs this with the Vietnam war that could not be ended, largely becasue we were in a state of war. The dynamics of being a war state made stoping the war a virtual impossibility.
Obama’s in the same fix, that puts the Secretary of State the same bind.

And of course in both wars the Republicans want the war to continue, so Congress can’t and won’t defund the war.

Wow, that’s pretty amazing. Here I was thinking she just didn’t mention the candidate’s name in the calls because he didn’t want her involved in his campaign. She does have a knack for making a mess wherever she goes doesn’t she? By now you would think others would run when they see her coming…

Oh, the next financial disclosure record released by SarahPAC covering this election cycle will be SO MUCH FUN!

Can’t wait to see to which ‘groups’ and ‘individuals’ money has been given.

Excellent sleuthing, ExBg!

The silver lining is that most people abhor robocalls and hang up within a couple of seconds. Palin’s obsequious fans would stay on the line, of course, to hear her full message but their votes were never in question anyway, eh?

Did anyone else catch it when Ed Schultz said something about Palin showing up in NY-23? It seems that he thought she actually was on the ground – disappoints me that he didn’t do his homework.

I’m sure she is absolutely irate and won’t take this one defeat lying down, so watch for her to come out blasting. One of the articles did mention that Hoffman was already complaining about ACORN, so watch for further on that issue.

Great job exBG and welcome to the Mudflats! Great idea to email the elections board, and definitely involve CREW.

And now that we can all sleep a bit better with Owens elected, I’m off to bed! Thanks to all for the continued updates throughout the evening.

A felony? Wow. At the very least, this particular non-profit stands to lose their standing as a non-profit. And whoever leaked that information should be held accountable.

Even if SP didn’t pull strings to get the lists, isn’t it amazing that she’s in the middle of an ethical and legal scandal when it’s not even in her state? How does she do it?

exbg- Thanks for your work on this. As usual Palin works just over the legal line.
I hope there is an investigation and more people hear her name associated with this possibly illegal activity.

Political campaigns/organizations with deep pockets can get away with this stuff because they have the money to drag it out in court. I remember during the 2004 election (I think it was 2004 might have been 2000) they caught someone working for the Bush campaign flooding/disabling the democratic phone lines for rides to the polls. They were initially found guilty, but then the national republican party helped to finance the appeal and got it overturned. This happened in NH.
