Even before her election as Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin had succeeded in taking on her state party’s corrupt machine. Thanks to her efforts, the then-state party chairman was forced to resign his seat on the Alaska Oil and Gas Commission. With the help of a Democrat, she exposed a corrupt state Attorney General, also of her own party, also forcing him out.
Barack Obama comes from Chicago, a city with a history of corrupt machine politics. So, I’m asking Obama supporters to provide examples where he has done what Palin has done and forced the resignation of corrupt officials of his own party.
After all, he’s the candidate whose mantra is change.
You might not find examples of Obama forcing corrupt politicians out of office, but if the RezkOctober surprise plays out as planned, there might be examples of corrupt politicians forcing Obama out of office.
Don’t be silly. The reason Obama never challenged corruption in his own party is because there is no corruption in the Democratic Party.
Except for William Jefferson, Tim Mahoney, Chris Dodd, Eliot Spitzer, Rod Blogojavich, Charles Rangel, Barney Frank, Kwame “outstanding mayor” Kilpatrick, John Street, Jim McGreevey, Mel Reynolds, Sheila Pratt Dixon, Alan Mollohan, John Murtha, Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers, Diane Feinstein, Harry Reid, Alcee Hastings, Craig Calloway, John Corzine, Marc Dann, Sandy Berger, Bob Torricelli, Neil Goldschmit, Henry Cisneros, Laura Richardson, Jim McDermott, Dickie Scruggs, Sammy Rivera, Alfred Steele, Mims Hackett, Marcellus Jackson (who, I am told, does not look like a bitch), Kevin Shelley …
Mitchell, from you mouth to God’s ears!
GPW, don´t hold your breath. If you went to help them out, give them a large magnifying glass.
The MSM is in the tank for Obama and the Democrats. Obama has never deviated from his party’s mainline and has never been someone who is looked-out for the taxpayers………or, rooted out corruption. And, today we learn that the Democrat who replaced Mark Foley is now embroiled in a sex scandal. He ran on a campaign of renewing moral standards. If Foley was a Democrat he would still be in Congress.
Exactly swamp. It is widely believed that the Foley scandal led to the rout of Republicans in 06. Watch how the MSM makes absolutely nothing of this latest Dem scandal because it doesn’t fit into their mantra of
” it is a Democrat year.” Only because 95% of the media is in the tank for the socialists. The anger you hear on the campaign trail is the frustration felt by 40% of the population who recognizes the fix is in and there appears nothing we can do about it. From ACORN screwing with registration rolls to the Dem corruption being ignored by the media, to Obama not being vetted properly. It’s all a sham. And sad for the country.
If Resco and others including the Clintons and Rev Wright show their true selves (selfishness) they will all turn on Obama.
No matter how much we dislike what they stand for the one thing we can be sure of is they WILL NOT risk the security of our nation.
Even Rev Wright with his outragreous speech will stand up for security before ultimately letting Obama become president.
Recall none of us knew Rev Wright before Obama….I believe he never wanted “national” exposure like Jackson or Sharpton. He surely could have made the national press on his own. His world has been tossed into the mix not by his own design but by the medias attention to BHO.
Look at Bill Clinton’s behavior since leaving the White House….partnering with 41 to bring tsunami relief and other “not for profit” support around the world….sharing the stage.
sorry this is long and boring….
To make my point Obama has lived his life by using people to get where he is today…..people like Ayers and Acorn to get where he is today.
He will NEVER at any point in his life do anything for “reasons greater than himself” because he thinks there is nothing greater than himself.
Thanks for your patience as I rant.
Together we make a difference.

You really want to talk about Palin forcing resignations? LMAO.
Since you comment to this post and fail to meet its challenge, I will accept your comment as acknowledging Obama’s failure to stand up to Chicago corruption.
If Obama stood up to Chicago corruption it would be an act of self-hatred.
Creepy, Fascist-like youth indoctrination? What creepy fascist-like youth indoctrination?.
Well, Jimmy, Sarah Palin did force Frank Murkowski out of office.
Of course, by that same standard, I guess I’d have to admit that Barack Obama forced Alice Palmer out of office in 1996. Then again, it’s a little different in that Sarah Palin didn’t actually knock Frank Murkowski off of the ballot ahead of the election as Barack Obama did to Alice Palmer.
Furthermore, what we see is that Obama and his supporters like jimmy like to fund black racists and separatists that denounce archaeological and anthropological fact as white supremacist conspiracies and teach their own nutball theories of history — in the public school system.
McCain should ask this question of Obama in tomorrow nights debate!
McCain actually did ask Obama when he has taken on his party, and Obama, in his usual fashion, told a lie, by instead rattling off a list of policies he supposedly disagrees with his party on, but things that have never even come to a vote, so hardly anything he can claim to have taken on his party over. Wish McCain had pointed that out, just gave Obama the opportunity to look like he actually had a qualification when instead he was misrepresenting the truth, as usual.
Next time he comes to Washington, perhaps I will place him under citizens arrest — we have made it a felony to falsify ones resume here.
