Sarah Palin ABUSED HER POWER In Firing!

What would be nice to come out of this is for it to have totally destroyed any chance for her to run for the presidency in the future - and I've seen a lot of 'McCain 2008/Palin 2012' sigs on the right-wing news sites.

Actually Elaan, Obama first attacked McCain over his history with the Keating 5 in May. He didn't wait till now to bring it up.

LOL Terry I do not consider you a die hard, you have a heart. I really hope you are doing well.

The fact of the matter is where did it all start? You can't call Obama divisive when it was Sarah Palin who decided to talk about affiliations. Now, talking about affiliations, do you know Keating? Do you know Rick Davis? And do you know John Singlaub? These are John McCain's affiliations too. But, did you hear of them before Sarah Palin talked about Ayers? You didn't because Obama did not think those affiliations are the ones who will run when a candidate wins. If it shows bad judgment, then McCain's affiliation to John Singlaub's activities are more damning than Obama's affiliation to Ayers. When Ayers was doing his 'terrorist' stuff, Obama was eight years. When Singlaub was doing his 'terrorist' stuff, McCain's name was on the letterhead of his group.

It's not about punishment, although I'm amazed you think a 6 day suspension is adequate for tasering a 10 year old, drinking in a police car, shooting a moose without a permit, and threatening his ex-wife's family. If returning him to duty is "rightly so" in your opinion than I'd hate to have you running the police force in my town. Drinking and driving on the job makes him a danger to THE PUBLIC. Tasering a child as a training exercise makes him DANGEROUS TO EVERYONE while he's carrying a weapon. "Also, has everyone forgotten it wasn't the trooper that got fired but the Safety Commissioner? " She did not abuse her power in firing the commissioner Annie. Didn't you read the article? "Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27105917/ That's YOUR source, and it's from MSNBC, the most anti-McCain news outlet on television. Here's another source to show you why Monegan isn't the issue anymore. "Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan's refusal to fire State Trooper Mike Wooten from the state police force was "likely a contributing factor" to Monegan's July dismissal, but Palin had the authority as governor to fire him, the report by former Anchorage prosecutor Stephen Branchflower states." "Stapleton called the investigation "a partisan-led inquiry" run by supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, but hailed its finding that Monegan's firing broke no law. "Gov. Palin was cleared of the allegation of an improper firing, which is what this investigation was approved to look into," she said." http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/10/palin.investigation/index.html

How many times should that trooper be punished for the same acts? Isn't there a justice system in this country and employer guidelines? The trooper was punished and was returned to duty...and rightly so. Do you have any evidence that this trooper was a danger to the PUBLIC? This was a personal matter. Palin was angry at the trooper for personal reasons and she abused her power in an attempt to gain the personal satisfaction of having him fired.

Wow, I wouldn't go THAT far, but maybe her witch hunter preacher friend would...lol! Annie

It was a Democratic Congressman's son, not a Senator, as I understand, he was indicted and he plead not guilty. Let's see what happens from there. If he is guilty he certainly should be punished, I'm not arguing that. Annie

Moonlite, I still ask why was it OK for Hillary to be involved up to her neck in the President's business when BJ was President, But you are getting all hot and bothered about Todd getting some emails cc'd to him? But when it comes to Obama and voter fraud you're like "meh, Maybe he will be investigated"? Yeah right. And annie, Senator, Congressman, either way that POS is not going to see a day behind bars. This is what that guy at that rally is so Mad about. And he's not alone. Republicans get pounced on and dragged through the mud and gravel for the slightest misconduct While Democrats get away with Bloody Murder. I go again back to Mark Foley. He was Smeared for two whole weeks and later cleared of all wrongdoing. Meanwhile the Democrats take over the country and drive it into the ground. At the same time William Jefferson(D-LA) is still sitting PHAT in his office with an indictment for taking $4MILLION in BRIBES. And he is RE ELECTED!!!!! When it comes to Obama you guys keep Whining about "Attacks" on his "Character", But what is this? Is this not an attack on Sarah Palin's Character? No law was Broken. But a partisan chairman who is an Obama supporter MADE DAMN SURE this was released BEFORE Election Day. And Believe me it's not the Democrats that we are MAD at. It's our own Party that are sitting on their hands and letting it happen because they are afraid to be called Politically Incorrect. Can You Say Witch Hunt? http://townhall.com/columnists/MichelleMalkin/2008/10/10/the_obama_witch_project?page=full&comments=true

Two words. Hillary Clinton. I'm not going to sit here and say that Sarah is perfect. If that really is what happened, No he shouldn't have been receiving those emails. I also don't think a Democrat Senators son should have hacked into her email account looking for dirt. He needs to serve time for that. But since he is a senators son he probably won't. I also think someone should be investigating Barack Hussein Obama's $800,000 "Clerical Error" to a group that he once represented in court against Citigroup to force them to make bad loans and is now charged with Voter fraud in 15 states and counting. Don'cha think THAT's a bigger issue?

My fears increase as well. Remember, the worst thing the D1ck Cheney did, according to Sarah, was shoot that guy in the face. It looks like she admires people who consider themselves above the law. Annie

They not only seem to consider themselves above the law; they think they're so much better than the rest of us. This country is the land of equality, and giving that concept up destroys so many of our population!

I saw him admit on an interview to some of these things but the one that really caught my attention was tazering the child. He used the lame excuse "he wanted me to".

You know I only ever heard that he tasered his stepson. I didn't know that he was a 10 year old kid.

PrairieStyle, you don't have to worry about your star rating on my account, I can tell you that much, unless you curse at me or threaten to PUT a curse on me...lol! Someone doesn't have to agree with me to get rated positive. I know there are some on both sides of the political aisle who don't feel that way, but I'm not one of them. Annie

Association with Acorn? Are you somehow implying that it's suspicious for him to give $800,000 to an organization that promotes voter fraud? You must be a racist! [/sarcasm]

Hey, I know sarcasm when I see it, see my star? Watch it go lower now that I'm on this topic.
