The left has many slimy tactics when it comes to smearing republicans, but what they’re doing to Sarah Palin is unconscionable.

<p>The left has many slimy tactics when it comes to smearing republicans, but what they’re doing to Sarah Palin is unconscionable.</p>
<p><a href="http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NDFlYWQ4MDQzODFkNTA4NDI5MzUzOTQ3ZjRmNDg1ZjE=" target="_blank">According to NRO</a>, Palin’s enemies in Alaska have been trying to get revenge on her ever since she returned from the presidential campaign.</p>
<p>The left’s weapon of choice &#8212; bankruptcy. They’ve filed more than 10 ethics complaints against her and more than 150 Freedom of Information Act requests. The ethics complaints are frivolous and petty designed to do her financial damage more than anything else.</p>
<p>The newest ethics complaint stems from her husband’s participation in the Iron Dog snow machine race. Sarah Palin wore a jacket advertising her husband’s sponsor, Arctic Cat Inc, while “in her official duties” as governor” when she served as official “starter” for the race.</p>
<p>Another complaint was because she spoke to the media (<a href="http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/11/12/video-greta-interviews-gov-sarah-palin-part-1/" target="_blank">Greta Van Susteren</a>) about the presidential campaign while sitting in her office.</p>
<p>The result of these ridiculous complaints on Palin herself are legal fees totaling more than $500,000 which is more than four times her salary. She says she may be forced to create a legal defense fund if this keeps up.</p>
<p>So the intention here is clear. Not only is the left trying desperately to destroy her reputation nationwide, but also destroy her financially. This is how the left always plays the game. It’s never enough to defeat someone politically, they aim to destroy lives.</p>

<p>Democrats are trying to get the ethics committee to censure Senator Tom Coburn in retaliation for his hard line against spending. What great breach of ethics is Coburn committing? The crime of traveling from Washington back to his home state of Oklahoma every weekend to <a href="http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/coburn-renews-battle-with-ethics-over-baby-deliveries-2008-07-28.html" target="_blank">deliver babies for free</a>.</p>
<p>Sen. Coburn is also Dr. Coburn and has maintained his medical practice while serving as a U.S. Senator. He accepts no payment for his medical services, and spends tens of thousands of dollars out of his own pocket for medical malpractice insurance and other expenses.</p>
<p>Coburn believes in being a &#8220;citizen legislator&#8221; and plans to return to his practice full-time in 2016 at the end of his second term.</p>
<p>This should be a good fight, I can&#8217;t wait to watch Democrats demonize Coburn for giving free health care to his constituents.</p>
<p>As <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/07/30/dems-attack-sen-coburn-for-delivering-babies-for-free/" target="_blank">Michelle points out</a>, If Coburn were giving away free abortions backs home you wouldn&#8217;t hear a peep out of Democrats.</p>
