Gov. Sarah Palin should resign nomination

Well, I have seen everything! The Republican-led Alaskan Legislature has released their findings and their wording has all be sunk both Gov. Palin and Senator McCain's chances to win the White House. These Republican political skunks used enough wording to damage Palin by saying she "abuse her power", but did nothing illegal.

That wording could not have been more politically charged and stated just right to do the most damage without causing them legal problems in over-charging Gov. Palin. What a group of schmucks! They are so mad at Gov. Palin for outing them and their corrupt politics that they are willing to sink the McCain/Palin ticket thereby giving the election to BHO. It is a new low for Republicans. Even the morally corrupt Democrats don't eat their own.

So, why should Palin resign the nomination? First, it is the ethical thing to do; however, she needs to bring attention to the fact that Senator Biden should also resign over his plagiarism during his previous run for the Presidency in 1987. First, the Alaskan investigative panel stated clearly that while they feel that Gov. Palin abused her powers to get an Alaskan State Trooper fired, she did nothing illegal. In Biden's case, not only did the Senator plagiarize papers during his law school tenure, during a 1987 Presidential campaign stump speech in Iowa, Senator Biden used material from the then British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock without giving Kinnock the nod.

Now all US colleges, universities, and most high schools take plagiarism very seriously as do most reporters and journalists. Plagiarism while not illegal is considered "cheating" and/or "intellectual dishonesty." The reason academics take plagiarism so seriously is that most academicians are afraid that its their work that will be plagiarized.

So while Senator Biden cheated in law school and was intellectually dishonest during his 1987 Presidential run, he did nothing illegal. Sound familiar??

However, Gov. Palin should do the right thing and resign and call for Biden to do the same.
