Another Attack on Palin Amounts to Nothing
There has not been, in my memory, anything equal to the number of scurrilous attacks against an individual during a campaign than what we witnessed being leveled against Sarah Palin during 2008.
The Democrats, in an effort to sway public opinion, and with help from their Media accomplices, threw everything but the kitchen sink at Palin. The sink in question had been spoken for by liberal operatives within the McCain campaign.
So far, Palin, the tough, reform-minded Alaska governor and mother of five, has withstood all attacks.
Earlier today, the FEC dismissed a complaint filed by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington against the purchase of $150,000 of clothing for Sarah Palin by the Republican Party during the 2008 election campaign.
The FEC ruled that party funds are not covered by the law which prohibits campaign donor money to be used for personal expenses.
Executive Director of CREW, Melanie Sloan, objected to the ruling, saying “It’s typical of the FEC to never take on anybody for anything.” She quickly contradicted herself by adding, “It seems like the kind of thing they should have come down on, but they seem to think their hands are tied.”
A quick review of CREW’s website seems to show more Republicans in their cross-hairs than Democrats. But with a name like Citizens for Responsiblity and Ethics in Washington, you’d assume their primary targets right now would be Barak Obama and Nancy Pelosi. Go figure.

Kind of like the ACLU… their definition of “civil liberties” only applies to liberal nut jobs. Same concept different acronym.

Gov. Palin’s enemies have thrown everything at her, including the kitchen sink, and all of it has bounced off. Palin is still standing tall, and is more than willing to fight for what she believes in. If you check you will find that Sloan worked for Biden, Conyers, and Schumer, all democrats. CREW is just another one of those George Soros funded loony left groups like moveon.org.
