frm Steve Benen's Political Animal
Now that Sarah Palin has been found to have abused her powers, violated state ethics, and lied about it, I did a little digging and found an interesting historical footnote.
The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.
... the rest after the click.
... and its the Reform ticket ... how ironic!
But not so ironic when you consider it's brought to you by the same folks who gave us
-- The Patriot Act that undermines the Constitution;
-- The Clean Air Act that deregulates many polluters;
-- a slew of Pro-Marriage acts in states across the country that limit marriage
-- voter initiative called "Majority Rules" here in Arizona that purportedly supports voter initiatives by regarding anyone who doesn't vote as a "no" vote thereby making it impossible to pass a voter initiative in the State of Arizona;
-- and an almost unending list of other acts that say they do one thing when, in fact, they do exactly the opposite.
Ironic, isn't it?
