What someone should ask Sarah Palin
With the news that even Todd Palin, who is not an Alaska government employee, is going to refuse to testify before the troopergate investigators, someone needs to ask Sarah Palin the following questions:
Why are you going back on your earlier promises to cooperate with the investigation?
If you are asserting that the investigation is political and partisan in nature, how do you account for the fact that the investigation was convened months prior to your nomination, by a Republican assembly?
If you take the position that the investigation should be tabled until after the election, in order to avoid tainting the election, and if you are elected, will you pledge to resign the office of the Vice-Presidency if the investigation eventually uncovers wrongdoing on your part?

"My fellow conservatives, remember how frustrating it was when Bill Clinton committed perjury and liberals looked the other way.
As conservatives, we are no better unless we demand full disclosure from our governor when it comes to Troopergate.
No politician is so popular and charismatic that they should be above accountability and telling the truth. Not even Sarah Palin. "

And the most important question to ask is -
How can you claim, as you have in your campaign stumps and speeches, that the Palin-McCain administration would run on transparency and accountability when Trooper-Gate and the refusal to testify ( or at least discuss, talk, etc. ) in response to the subopenas being issued is a perfect example of not only being non-transparent and not accountable but also in violation of the laws of this country ? This is an example of country first ?
