But that doesn't involve tax dollars going into politicians pockets does it? No? Unlike the Ted Stevens scandal in which Palin is tangled.

A little different.
Oh...and Biden doesn't teach a class on business ethics does he? He doesn't advocate that businesses use "abstinance only" when merging? No?
Then obviously this story is a 'non-story.' -

That isn't the only thing Biden's son is involved in

No wonder Biden made the following statement when asked about incolving Palin's tennage daighter in the campaign:
"With regard to the stuff that you’re talking about, I have a simple proposition: children are off limits. Children are off limits, he said to applause. We’ve all been through things with our children. Just treat people with common decency."
Here's another dtory on what Biden's son was involved in:
Credit card company paid Biden son while father pushed for bill the industry wanted
A son of Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden was paid an undisclosed amount of money as a consultant by MBNA, the largest employer in Delaware, during the years the senator supported legislation that was promoted by the credit card industry and opposed by consumer groups.
Barack Obama's presidential campaign said Biden helped forge a bipartisan compromise on the measure, which is now law and makes it harder for consumers to obtain bankruptcy protection in the courts.
MBNA's consulting payments to Hunter Biden, first reported by The New York Times, followed his departure in 2001 from the company, where he had been an executive.
Obama opposed the bankruptcy law, enacted in 2005, while Biden supported it.

You guys are grasping at straws because Biden's sons are grown men in business for themselves. McCain receiving money from lobbyist is a concern because he is running for president.

So if you're going to throw stones make sure your presidential candidate isn't living in a glass house. Of course he doesn't even know how many houses he owns. LMAO The senile old fool.

I don't know Bristol Palin getting pregnant just doesn't seem to be on the same level as Biden's grown who are now being accused of defrauding business partners and influence peddling. Note: the influence being peddled is Senator Joe Biden's, apparently. No, I don't think this is a hands off the candidate's children issue.

Btw, I still have had no response from any of you regarding my inquiries as to some samples of Obama's college or law school writings or his grades. Still nothing about Obama's mother's family, are there any of them alive in the United States.
Liberal democrats know more about Sarah Palin after just 5 days than they know about Obama after more than a year. I think that should be a problem for them but they continue plow right ahead with this unknown empty suit. Strange behavior, to say the least.

Very interesting article. Of course the big media will not cover this one, since it does not help them with the theme that Obama ....uh I mean Palin ... is unqualified.

Johnney, do you think it was a wise stratagy to have the general public ( voters, pundits and legislators from both sides of the aisle) do Sarah Palin's backround check? Having the truth out there this fast has never worked for the Republican Party in the past. I know the cost of running the facts through the repug spin cycle is going up and you just wanted to cut campaign expenses, but Jezz.

Right. Now if the son and brother were the same individual, it could be the Palin family. -
