THIS IS MY COMMENTARY: HOLA!
Did George Washington ever tell a lie? Bull! Can anyone cast the first stone? Hell No! The question should have been answered by now. Is Palin an honest politician-ha ha ha! How about McCain? Or even Obama?

First of all no one is completely honest; we are all sinners in many different ways. We can make an effort to be honorable about our dishonesty and try to take repsonsibility for our acts and try to make it comeback to strong ethical principles. In other words we can confess, take responsibility, and even apologize for our dishonest acts such as cheating, lying, or breaking the law. I do not think you can find one completely honest person living here on earth that will run for office, not even the alcoholic Glenn Beck and the other clown, Bill Oreilly who relect that they are "holier than thou" on the air. The closet thing to an honest politician may be an honorable one. The question then would be: can an honorable politician remain honorable in office?

Let me use Sara Palin as an example. Just to let you know: I do not support her or McCain. Hey, I am honest! Now this is my opinion. If you, as a reader get upset, please forgive. Palin claims to be a political reformer. She claims she is going "to shake up things" in Washington. At lest this is what the pro-republican media and inner circle of republican supporters are selling to the public in order to inflate her image as reformer. Political reformers hunt and ambush the "wrong doers" (like herself and McCain) and fire them or get them fired! But what is going to happen when Palin starts to commit the same acts that she is professing against now?

It never fails: he/she who professes against a wrong, is the first one to commit it and the last one to admit it. What about the bridge to nowhere: thanks but no thanks? What about the lie she told the public about Alaska producing 20% of the energy consumed in the United States? Even McCain believed that one. What is happening with "troopergate?" Did she commit a wrongful act? THE HUNTER BECOMES THE HUNTED! This is what happens to those that think they are "holier than thou."

It appears that Palin is casting stones everywhere and the same time impersonating an honest politician. I do not think she has read the New Testament. She is trying to pull the speck out of everyone's eye while she is carrying a board in hers. How long can she impersonate an honest politician? Now, that depends on how long it takes before she gets ambushed by one
