Palin Investigation

I have been following the reports concerning the "bi-partisan" committee which investigated the alleged misdeeds of Governor Palin on the firing of a man in Alaska. I understand Governor Palin states that the man was fired for insubordination. I don't know the exact makeup of the committee except I am informed that the chairman is a Democrat. It is likely that even Republicans on the committee may have been predisposed to find fault with the governor, since she had reprimanded some in her own party. I understand that the report did not find anything illegal in the actions of Governor Palin but that the question was one of ethics.
If you do not believe that the investigation was political, consider the timing of the report. It could scarcely have been better timed to do the most damage, just before the election.
A few years ago there was a certain "co-president" named Clinton who engineered the firing of a whole staff, and there was hardly a whimper about it! Is there some kind of a standard that could be applied to any political party without prejudice? Or is any party allowed to do "whatever is right in their eyes?"
Some candidates support viewpoints that are explicitly condemned in the Bible. If you are really a Christian, you believe the Bible; if you believe the Bible when you cast your vote, cast it on the basis of the teaching of Scripture. No other basis should be an option.
