Aides to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin improperly obtained her former brother-in-law's state police personnel files and cited information from those records to raise complaints about the officer, the head of Alaska's state police union said Thursday.

    Guess she's already one of the good ol' boys. Like John and W, she will obviously say and do anything on the grounds that the end justifies the means. Hope they like the way this ends.

      LOL...your problem is that Senator McCain has created an unbeatable team and the nastier you get, the more solidly our party is behind her. Conservatives won the elections the last two Presidential elections and they will this time too. Dem/Libbers are so upset about Ms. Palin that they are going to try and gang up on her from three different infanticide organizations. They've announced that they want to defeat her because of her stance on life instead of the murdering of infants. She had her baby despite the fact that he has down syndrome and to make matters worse for your party, her daughter is pregnant and she's going to have her baby too....oh my God...what awful role models for the Dem/lib party.

        No, just pathetic role models in general. Unless your ideal is hillbilly breeders.

          My problem is that the republicons don't seem to believe in the rule of law. Everywhere you look, there is a republicon breaking a law. If you support the republicon outlaws, then you don't believe in the rule of law.

          While the Democrats aren't perfect, they have a better record of obeying the law by a factor of better than 3 to 1.

              Yea right. So that's how seal records of Ryan's divorce case was magically available to the Trib and made it possible for Barry to get into the Senate in the first place. Until then, he was losing the election by a factory of almost 75%. Unless you don't consider the Daley machine a part of your DNC.

                No, they just have a better record of simply denying everything and closing ranks. For instance, Bill Clinton and his indiscretions. He got away with it, just as most Dem/libbers do. Dem/libbers have a record of corruption that goes back years and years....lol. Oh my goodness....I'm arguing with a child.

                  Both party have frightening statistics. But you can't blame a candidate for who has supported them. They would have no supporters. This country, last time I looked, is full of felons from every walk of life, and millions who haven't been caught. Is the candidate a felon or suspected of a crime. That's my concern.

                    What an incredible effort to discredit Sarah, perhaps the worst character assassination attempt I have ever seen.

                    This is a 50-50 country and the election will be close. She plays well in every part of the country because she is more like us than is Obama, Joe or even John.

                    White men support McCain and Sarah substantially improves Republican chances for the female vote, particularly among the so-called middle class.

                    Washington secretly does not want to change and the procedures are so ingrained, I don't think any executive can change it. Money talks ... and that will never change.

                    The issues bandied about by both sides are legislative issues controlled by the Congress. The President has the "bully-pulpit" and great influence, but ultimately Congress controls us.
                    They control the spending and the taxing.

                      Must not watch the news much or aware of other media or internet, huh? Are these attacks against Palin the worst? I guess many of the previous smear and character assasination ads and blogs don't count, right?

                        "She plays well in every part of the country because she is more like us than is Obama"

                        Sounds like you know her intimately. Anyway,that's the problem...your values aren't my values. Im every bit as American as you are and I think Republicans and conservatives are extremely dangerous and reckless people to have running our country. Cons have made this woman you don't even know out to be some kind of icon for the con movement and you're behaving the same way you did when Republicans chose McCain. You're so desperate for a win that you'll re-write the script for political expediency.

                        Flipflopping was the kiss of death in '04 so you re-packaged that lie and this year (since everyone knows you're now doing it left and right) it's called "re-thinking one's position". Yeah, that sounds good...let's go with that. They'll never catch on. You wanted a President you could be proud of and who wouldn't bring shame and dishonor to the Oval Office. You gave us Bush and cons are the ONLY people on the planet who will deny to their dying breath that Bush is a liar, a loser, a criminal, a failure and an absolute disgrace to our country. When Hillary played the sexism card, cons went BALLISTIC attacking her and accusing her of being weak, not ready for the job,blah blah. Palin does this and you circle the wagons and fawn on endlessly about how evil the media is to her. Gee...What a shock.

                        But the reason I object to Palin as a choice actually has less to do with my doubts about her qualifications than it has to do with the clearly thoughtless manner in which she was chosen and the way she's allowing herself to be used and exploited. Only a con would be so arrogant as to think that you could pick an OBVIOUSLY blemished candidate like Palin (I know the GOP is corrupt but you couldn't find ANY other suitable women to pimp who weren't already being investigated?) and pass her off as the greatest thing since sliced bread. I don't have any respect for her ( just as I don't have any respect for Condi Rice) because the mere fact that she was selected ("Sure, John...I'm honored to be your sloppy thirds, fourths... [or whatever number she was on his list] I've got a vagina and a shotgun and I know how to use 'em both. As much as the condumbs hate you, they'll love me. Where do I sign?") doesn't mean this is a win for women. ;-(

                          No, the reason you object to Ms. Palin is because she truly does appeal to women. She is mom just like most of we women. She isn't cowering in a corner just because the dem/libs are attacking her. She has strong beliefs and we already knew you wouldn't agree with them. The dem/lib party stands for socialism/communism, infantacide, living wills in the hope that some people will allow someone else to make their life decisions for them and dem/lib doctors can steal their donated organs to sell, and a complete desire to see America and Americans die and be subjugated to other nations...Europe being one.

                            "No, the reason you object to Ms. Palin is because she truly does appeal to women. "

                            No. I said why objected to her and I meant it. Like Katherine Harris, she's allowing herself to be a used up and worn out mattress for the GOP. You think she's the model of morality and I think she's a vacuous, high priced, opportunistic neocon call girl. If she thinks she can squeeze a buck out of it, she'll climb on top of something--even if it's a flaccid right wing Republican clown who wants to fill up his gas tank for $20. She has no self-respect and cons know nothing about her other than that she's the closest thing to a pacifier for the party having chosen McCain that crybaby right wingers are gonna get.

                            I am not going to dignify the rest of the garbage you wrote just as you didn't respond to any of my points. I know you. Your TV gets one channel and you need your husband's permission to wipe before you flush. Enjoy living in a cave. ;-(

                                I've responded to every single point you've made, if they made any sense. But what I've gathered is that you are African American and you feel very sorry for yourself which gives you a great excuse not to think. You are spouting the DNC party line and not very well. Think for yourself...stop pitying yourself and be happy. This is a great nation. We have more freedoms than in any other nation in the world. Geeeze, Jamaicans are black and they come here, start businesses, take advantage of going to school, buy homes and get rich. They laugh at African Americans from here.

                                  Of course...I must be black. Your powers of observation are razor sharp. I support giving undocumented workers a path to citizenship and I support women's and gay rights too. I guess that makes me a black lesbian, "illegal" immigrant, right spytling?

                                  You just highlighted the reason why we will never see eye to eye. Because cons go through life putting their selfish interests ahead of those of the rest of humanity, in their flawed judgement, anyone who speaks strongly in support of something must be a member of that group or that issue about which they are speaking. No one could possibly be making an argument for the fair treatment of others. That's how the tiny con mind works. Cons love to cry and play the martyr. Ohhhhhh...the evil poor people are taking all you "hard-working" cons' tax dollars...boo-hoo-hooooo!

                                  But what cons never want to talk about is how they love pretending that it's ONLY poor people who are sucking the tax dollars out of their wallets. Military waste fraud and abuse? Never heard of it. If it's for the military, it must be worth the money. Just give the military a blank check (especially since cons aren't rushing to sign up to get *their* heads blown off).

                                  spytling, you accuse me of not being able to think but you demonstrate no such talent yourself. Why do cons pretend that they are all hard working and that white people don't benefit from cronyism, affirmative action and special favors? Why do you lie through your teeth about these things as if you actually think people are stupid enough to believe you people all got what you have through hard work and sweat? No one believes cons. When will you realize this?

                                  Why do cons pretend that it's ok for Monica Goodling to be given a six figure job when she graduated from one of the lowest rated law schools in the country? Why do 150 grads from that same law school get jobs in the Bush administration when there are thousands of far more qualified and talented law students (Republicans and Democrats alike) across the country who didn't get the shot these kids did because of Bush's relationship with Pat Robertson? Did they EARN those jobs? HELL NO. Do cons love to sidestep these incidents when they're lying about how hard they work and how they are the victims and that they would have more tax cuts if it wasn't for the poor people? You bet.

                                  Why do cons pretend they don't know about billions of dollars in NO BID contracts in Iraq and and New Orleans? Because you're LYING and you only spout the talking points you learned from watching FOX. You only know about YOUR talking points and you think that if you don't say anything about all of the cons who got to where they are because of favoritism, affirmative action, cronyism and who they know that people will just let you slide. Stop fooling yourself.

                                    The problem is that you lack proof for any of your statements. Maybe Monica Gooding was simply a better fit for President Bush. Why are you so jealous?

                                    Why do dem/lib/socialist/communists pretend that they don't know that their senators and congressmen are on the take from the lobbyists? Why are the dem/lib/socialist/communists pretending that they don't use networking to obtain positions...something we are taught in school...I mean college, of course. Your problem is that I know a whole lot more than your talking points and you don't want people to hear it. How come Obama is one of the highest paid from lobbyists concerning Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae? How come the dem/lib/socialist/communist senate just get into the insurance business because they bought an 80% interest in AIG? We all have to have car insurance by law...let's see how much wealthier the dem/lib/socialist/communist party can get by raiding the monies that belong to AIG.

                            “Aides to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin improperly obtained her former brother-in-law's state police personnel files and cited information from those records to raise complaints about the officer, the head of Alaska's state police union said Thursday.”

                            Considering the amount and accuracy of ALL the so-called scandals, I would put this at that same level
                            ZERO ya got nothing.

                            I have no idea if this claim it true but let’s take a look at this 1st paragraph.

                            Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the boss, the head personnel director of ALL Alaska’s public employees, looked into one of her employees personnel file.

                            Put it another way your claiming the head of the HR office looked into HR files.
                            Is that about it?

                            BTW the policy that Gov. Palin wanted enforced, and is at the root of all this so-call scandal, was to fire cops who were drinking on the job! In uniform, on the clock and in their patrol cars.

                            Make your best case that this policy should be ignored.

                            This should be a hoot!

                              As Governor I think she must have had the right to look at any file for any state employee. However, being in the same family, she probably got most of her information from her frightened sister.

                                        But you subsidize Bush's health insurance and your other elected officials' health insurance (and that of their spouses and children also). Why should they get subsidized health insurance when you cons accuse everyone else who wants it of being "socialists"? I don't understand cons. Why do you hate America so much? ;-(

                                          You know Mesodude, unions and other companies get medical insurance with reduced rates because they purchase insurance as groups. Why hasn't anyone simply banded together as a group, named themselves and then bought medical insurance at group rates?

                                          All it would require is the formation of an LLC for the purposes of providing group medical insurance. It's so simple it's pathetic, but nobody does it because it might eliminate a problem that the dem/lib party uses in every election.

                                              Mesodude, I will give you that business is usually not leaning towards dem/lib/socialist/communists. Most businesses in the United States believe in a free enterprise system. It is the interference and over regulation of the dem/lib/socialist/communists that is causing most of our problems...as evidenced by the FACT that Obama is one of the biggest recipients of lobbyists for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Don't you think we should all be demanding an investigation?

                                        She is supposed to be such a reformer and saving tax payer money. She is having $90,000 plus to her lawyers which the taxpayers pay. Kind of weird, huh?

                                          Can you prove that statement?

                                            I don't know how much Palins lawyer costs, but since he is representing the governors office he is being paid by the state.

                                          He's a cop that has been charged with threatening his ex-wife's family, tazering his son and then getting caught passed out, drunk and in his squad car while on duty. The engine was on at the time. In Wisconsin if you're busted for that, you sit in jail, lose the license for 6 months and go to classes. In Alaska, a wall of blue comes down and you might get a 5 day suspension with pay. Corruption? Call yourselves the DNC of Alaska.

                                            The choice in this election is very simple.
                                            McCain - less government programs, cheaper gas and oil, lower taxes, anti-abortion(Roe v Wade will never be over turned, so this should be a non-issue, the Republicans have lost many elections over this stupid issue), military experience, is a moderate and has worked well with democrats in the past.
                                            Obama- provide government health care, higher taxes on business and the wealthy, conserve instead of more drilling, pro-choice
                                            If you make less than $40,000 and you want the government to take care of you than Obama's your guy.

                                              On the contrary...Roe v. Wade has been being whittled down little by little by little. Why do you think the Dem/libs have gone to such lengths to try and block any Conservative nominees for the Supreme Court? Why do you think they are so hysterical about winning this election. They have to preserve what they see as their right to murder their own children and to encourage ours to do the same.

                                                  We disagree that anyone has a right to murder a child, whether it is in the womb or on the playground. We disagree with a political party going into our schools to teach our children that our morality is wrong and yours is preferable. We disagree with teaching 10 year olds how to put condoms on bananas and telling our children that they are old enough to make a decision to end the life of their own child, without the support of their families. Where is your party when that self same child must live with repercussions of that decision? More than that...if and when a child receives an abortion at your behest, are you the one who holds her hand if she can never procreate again, or bury her if she dies in the procedure? No...you aren't...but you continue to interfere between parents and children because you don't have any morals and you want to teach your lack of morality to our children. You've been successful thus far, but watch now...it won't be for long.

                                                    The 'liberal' scenario is that the decision to abort is the mothers (husbands too if applicable) ,her doctor and her family in that order. The right wings scenario seems to be ...your having the baby period and that is all there is to it. Sorry if the father is a family member or your a rape victim or you might die from the pregnancy, it's God's will so tough ****.

                                                      What has a child to do with a rape? I have personal experience in that area and believe me, the child has nothing to do with anything. Allowing or encouraging the mother to see the child as an extension of the rape rather than something good that came out of it is horrible. Yes, it is difficult to carry the fetus, but it is our belief that God creates life and that no human being has a right to take innocent life.

                                                    Who buries the child who makes that decision before they are ready to do so? Who sits with that child when she realizes what she has done and that she might not ever be able to have a child again because of an abortion that your party went into our children's schools to teach them that they had a right to murder? Children are not ready for that kind of decision...and if I went into you school and told your children that you were wrong about anything and encouraged the to have sex with me or with the teacher because they had a right to make that decision, you would be one of the first to yell and scream that I had no right. Well what gave you the right?

                                                  But didn't the GOP give us the biggest government in history and plunge us into two wars and the deepest national debt and trade deficits in history too? I think they did. And didn't McCain vote with Bush at least 95% of the time? I think that happened also. So by what logic are you convinced McCain will be an improvement on Bush? Please explain. I want to understand cons but you say lots of things that make no logical sense whatosever...unless maybe it's logic in the Twilight Zone. ;-(

                                                    You are correct that this administration added government and left us with a huge deficit. To be fair, we are a country at war in a time when we were attacked on our own soil. I believe President Bush did the best that he could do under the circumstances, and he has kept this nation safe since 9/11 with the creation of the Homeland Security. However, our party as a whole did not support their expenditures. Why do you think they lost seats in the last elections? I was one of those and so were my entire family. We didn't vote for them. We didn't support the party, and believe me, McCain would not have been our first choice. Palin is a conservative...and for that reason we will support McCain in this election. We certainly cannot vote a socialist into office.

We WERE a country at war during WWII. Now we're a tiny minority of Americans at war while everyone else lives their lives as usual.

                                                      "President Bush did the best that he could do under the circumstances, and he has kept this nation safe since 9/11 with the creation of the Homeland Security. "

We don't give a crap what you're worried about because you cherry pick the socialism you'll support or overlook vs that which you'll slam and harp on. ;-(

                                                        You obviously didn't have anyone in the World Trade Center either time that it was attacked. I did. Believe me, we were attacked. We belong in Iraq, and we are a country at war.

                                                          We're aware that you don't care what we consider to be socialism. We're also aware that you don't see the work we put into EARNING whatever it is that we have and for some strange reason, you don't think you ought to have to EARN anything. We're supposed to dig deep into our pockets and feed and clothe you and your family, pay for your medical, buy your houses for you, and it will never be enough because you still complain. FACT: We WILL NOT support a socialist. This is not a communist nation, as much as you would like it to be. Most of us had fathers, husbands and sons who have died or gone to war for this nation to keep us from becoming a communist/socialist nation.

                                                          Thus far your party has disabled our financial institutions and you're working really hard to force a deal that nationalizes our entire financial system. Your party is not one bit upset at this turn of events because you it is where you have wanted this nation all along.

                                                          Your party has demonized anyone who has a regular income and owns a home as being rich...while they inflamed those of you who don't. Go back to school, earn your way, don't come picking my pockets and then complaining that it isn't enough. Do what I did and what others have done. Nobody came along and gave us anything. Learn a little bit about what the economy actually is. Big companies don't pay taxes, we the taxpayers pay taxes. When you want another freebie, it is us, the middle class who actually pay it. We're tired.

                                                        On the contrary, no. Mr. McCain is known as a maverick because he did NOT vote with the President or the rest of the Republicans when we wanted him to.

                                                      Be real. She is the governor and she has knowledge of a police officer who is breaking the law and abusive to women and children. If she had done nothing and he harmed someone else in the public, you dem/libs would have been all over her. Come up with something better to try and discredit someone who was properly doing her job.

                                                        It's not her job to discipline or to conduct disciplinary hearings of state employees. That responsibility lies within the appropriate departments involved. That is the domain of management and employee unions.

                                                          If it is not the job of the Governor to fire someone who might harm other in the state, then I would like to know whose job it is.

                                                            How is a lone state troopers domestic problem a threat to the entire state?? It's a departmental problem no matter how you try to spin it.

                                                        Nor would she be nominated to be the Vice President, because there's not any other reason that 'ol Lyin John gave her the nod.

                                                          If Ms. Palin was not a woman she would not be being criticized for her pregnant daughter, nor would there be filthy rumors that her infant son was really her daughter's. What happened to the Dem/Lib mantra regarding equality? Well, we already know that's a lie now don't we...we watched you dump Hillary didn't we?

                                                            lol...you dem/libs are so funny. You just can't stand that old Obama didn't even get a little bounce in the polls after his nomination. All John did was take a ticket from the Dem/Lib book...he built the drama and then he announced someone who hasn't ever been to Washington. A woman in the whitehouse, and a conservative at that. Your party is still divided against itself and John took a step to unite us. Looks like the Grand Old Party is in pretty good shape.

                                                              We're "divided" because, unlike cons, we don't all think in lockstep based on what we're spoonfed from one or two news sources. I guess voting as a party for someone you don't think represents your values (like "McAmnesty") is something to be proud of. On some planet. ;-(

                                                                LOL...you're divided because your party doesn't support women unless they are willing to sacrafice their children on the altar of dem/lib/socialist/communist politics. Most of your party isn't convinced they want the "changes" that Obama says he wants. And lo and behold we all beginning to find out that Obama's changes mean communism. He wants the power to reach further in to pockets than he already has with the lobbyists for Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae.

She's being criticized because cons are painting her as Miss Con-geniality with a rifle and she's just a second rate beauty pageant contestant who lives in a big state, with a lot of money and not that many people. Cons are constantly lowering the bar for themselves while raising it for others. No way in hell you people would approve of Obama as a role model if you thought either he or his wife sucked as parents but you're falling all over yourselves in bliss and relief that Palin is not a liberal like you know McCain is. You people wanted to string Bill Clinton up but you had at least two adulterers in your primaries and you even wanted to draft Newt Gingrich! What on earth makes you think people believe *you* are serious about morality when you relax your standards when it serves your interests? Briscoe or Crisco or whatever she's called probably wouldn't be the first teen tramp to live in the vice President's mansion and I think the boozed up trollop Bush twins actually lived in the White House for a time.

                                                              I'm not one to judge anybody else. Btw, whatever happened to that doubly "immoral" lesbian Mary Cheney who had a baby even those she's not married and even though we all know women who love other women are evil and dangerous and do not make good role models for children? What would Sarah say to her as they were changing the guards in January? Would she congratulate Lynne on raising such a wonderful, moral daughter? What would Lynne say? "Brisket is a skank with the morals of an alleycat but at least she likes trouser trout"? Come on, folks! This is a nightmare choice in every conceivable way. The point is, we haven't seen or heard much of Mary since she was so outraged by being reminded her father is a lying hypocrite who lives to destroy the lives of gays and lesbians everywhere? Anyone know, where proud Mary is?

                                                                You still don't get it. Republicans don't make nasty cracks about other people's families. Republican/Conservatives have morals...but we are aware that not everyone in the party is perfect. When we attack, we attack based upon work...and if we attack someone who is in a sexual or adulterous relationship, it wouldn't be relevant unless it sulied the whitehouse and our nation. Attacking someone's child is a dem/lib tactic. It only highlights how nasty and smarmy most of you are. You don't see any limits on your behaviors but you have all kinds of limits on everyone elses. That is typical of children, and you're supposed to outgrow that mindset as adults.

                                                                Again, it was the dem/libs in the last election who figured they might "out" Mr. cheney's daughter and get him to lose the race. You didn't understand then and you don't understand now. We believe there are supposed to be limits on one's behavior. Grow up and you'll begin to understand that.

She knows that the true will come out and redirect her comments about her being a reformer. This woman is not fit for office, she's inexperience and McCain is senile - he's redirected his campaign platform towards the Democratic campaign - which is change! It just shows that the RNC does not have a mission statement of their own and can not function independent without grasping hold of ideas from the DNC.

This is one dangerous duo and not in a good way,,,like Batman and Robin or the Lone Ranger and Tonto or Cagney and Lacey or Miami Vice. It wouldn't be like any of those duos.... ;-(

And as far as Mr. McCain, he didn't appear in the slightest bit senile last night and he hasn't been told he couldn't do his job in the Senate, and he actually does his job in the Senate. Why are we paying Obama? 143 whole days and absent from any committee meetings of the Committee regarding Afghanistan...of which he supposedly is chair...which has never had even one meeting.

They all read from the same play book. The Dem party has no platform or substance! All they have is a slogan. "Change". Obama isn't about change. If he was he wouldn't have picked a fossil like Biden. Higher taxes, bigger government and a weak country. There's your change. Question: When Obama taxes the big evil oil companies for making too much money, Who do you think is going to pay that tax?

Then we have the ignorant swine like yourself that seem to be so confusedly doused in CON doublespeak that you actually think that the stuff you just wrote isn't the exact opposite of the truth.

For sure Cheney and Rove will still be running the show... since it was on Cheney's carpet that McBush first caved on his own Anti-Torture Bill and has flipped on every other issue since...

                                                                            Repugs have proven after 8 years of Dumya that they vote party line, not their conscience or the rule of law... this would remain the same under McBush as he starts wars #3 and #4 with the pesonnel he gets from instituting the draft.
                                                                            One more repugnant supreme court judge and habeas corpus is out, and the unitary executive becomes the supreme power of the land with the Constitution finally totally trashed!
                                                                            The PNAC must have its conquests and make McBush a war president too! Oh yes, federal debt to 20 trillion under McBush as every repug president has raised it in the last 50 years! Rich to just get richer.... while the rest of us flounder or become cannon fodder!

The freshest breath of air came in the person of Ms. Palin...and I really thing there will be some changes for the better with her in office.

Biden's understanding of foreign affairs is unequaled!

                                                                                Phillips, one of the qualified state people that Rummy wouldn't let jay garner have... Garner was meant to fail as did Bremmer by firing the iraqi military and bureaucracy to send almost a mllion Iraqis into the insurgent roles!

Bigger government...how big is the federal government now compared to eight years ago?? Weak country...Who has got our military stretched thin with a two front war?? Being accused of 'reading from the same play book' from people who have it down to a science is somewhat amusing.

She has done the job she was elected to do and scored with flying colors. That her daughter is pregnant just shows the type of thing people who are on the run will use. They would destroy this 17 y/o in order to hurt the mother, now that's real compassion, I think you just convinced me to vote for your guy with all the compassion you are showing this young girl. You're right, your party is the only one that cares about people. Gov. Palin is a great choice as a VP and if she were a man the libs wouldn't be saying a thing about her personal life. They are just furious that their "thunder" was stolen by not having the first female VP in history. We see how they really feel about females, look how they stole the nomination away from Sen. Clinton. She should have stood up the the "good old boys" and made them count votes during role call, but she was bullied down. Well don't expect Gov. Palin to be bullied down. Once again you have been bested, the Rep. put the first woman on the Supreme Court, Sec. of State, and now VP, now tell me again how you are the party that supports women??????

Not the daughter, the mother, who has been unethical since her first day as mayor. Read up on her some, something besides wiki!

Furthermore, I don't believe birth control is one of the "heavier" things that is facing our country right now. What happened to energy, the economey, illeagal aliens, anti terror, the war on terror? All I'm saying is leave the daughter alone. Show some compassion.

I think we're getting a bellyful of those in the last few days. What still stands is that if you have a disagreement with the philosophies of this Vice Presidential nominee, how ethical is it to ATTACK her seventeen year old daughter? It would seem that dem/libbers don't really understand ethics so we really don't need to discuss that topic any further.

I don't think the Conservatives had all that much to do with the topic by themselves...I think the dem/libbers were in that mix as well.
