Trooper in TrooperGate Probe Calls VP pick "absolutely wonderful for Alaska"
CNN ^

Posted on 09/05/2008 12:03:05 PM PDT by GOPinCa

The father of three, who was married four times, told CNN, "I'm trying to move on and be the best dad I can to my children. Be the best trooper that I can be. You know, I love my job. I love this state."

He added that McCain's choice of Palin as his running mate was "absolutely wonderful for the state of Alaska."

Well, that’s going to pop some balloons in MSM land.



What is that hissing sound? Air escaping?

“How many rugs have been pulled out from under Dems attacks?”

Letterman pulled a rug out from under the smears last night.

You wouldn’t have believed his apologies for making fun of her without knowing zip! He’s begging her to come on his show. Her speech blew him and his audience away. He said, ‘this will change American politics’ and asked why we just can’t have her for president.

Wooten wasn’t fired—he had to endure 5 days’ suspension (reduced from 10) for all of his offenses. Tasering his stepson, threatening to kill his father-in-law, drinking beer while in his patrol car...little things like that.

Have you read the affidavit filed by the Governor’s attorney? She didn’t get Wooten fired. He is still on duty.
Which is scary when you read about the dude’s temper and how the cops closed ranks around him to protect him.

Did your ex ever threaten in front of your kids to put a bullet into your father if he helped you find an attorney? Did your ex stalk any of your nieces and curse them out obscenely at a public venue?

The faux controversy is over the firing of the Director of Public Safety which is a govt appointee position. And how he ran his programs (poorly) and how he was offered another state job and refused it. It takes a lot of guts to fire entrenched state bureaucrats. More evidence of Sarah’s perseverance in performing her duties.

Did you ever taser your 10 year old step-son and threaten to kill your ex-wife’s Father in front of three witnesses?

Love it! bttt

They’re on the run! They KNOW that Palin is going to be the first woman president of the USA! :)

This is the latest from the atheist, P Z Myers’ web site:

This is how we will lose - PZ Myers

Palin scares me, but what worries me more is that we will screw up again and hand the executive office over to another gang of losers, and we can’t afford that anymore. Now look at the open thread http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/09/palin_open_thread.php I set up last night, and you’ll see why I’m concerned. What did people do? They got distracted by irrelevancies, such as the opportunity to exercise a little macho sexism, and then that turned into a nasty, full-blown knife fight with everyone snarling at each other. This is exactly what the Republicans want, writ small on this little tiny island of the blogosphere.

That’s not how we’re going to beat back the troglodytes.

Palin is a stalking horse for failed social and economic and military policies. We don’t want to get drawn away from the important message of defeating those bad policies by the temptation of cheap shots at her appearance and sex, especially because those cheap shots make her look like a sympathetic victim and help advance the Republican agenda.

So please, think. Casual sexism plays into the hands of the bad guys on both sides. What frightens me most is that Palin got up and lied and said nothing of substance, and people are so distracted by the fact that she has breasts that the lies were allowed to slide by. This is how the Democrats can self-destruct, once again.

You finally got one right, PZ. This IS how you will lose.

Even totally united behind Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004 you couldn’t beat a dumbass draft dodging reborn alcoholic George “Shrub” Bush and his snake-oil sidekick Dick Cheney of all people. That’s pretty pathetic. This round you’ve got an even worse candidate that half of your own party thinks stole the nomination by cheating and dirty politics. Your party is shattered up the middle and you have the worst candidate in all the decades I’ve been paying attention. I knew Jack Kennedy and your nominee, PZ, is no Jack Kennedy.

Now the culture war is still on, the players are all the same on both sides, except this time we have an honest-to-God centrist war hero, even if he is an elitist beltway insider, and a little unheard of cutie, obviously a political savant, who in 30 minutes won the hearts and minds of every heretofore apathetic God fearing blue collar flyover family all across the nation and made them start caring about who wins this election not to mention is stealing a lot of the Hillary voters who wanted nothing more than a woman in the Whitehouse. If McCain wins then Palin, sooner or later, is going to become the first woman president of the United States as by the time she’s up for election to the top spot there won’t be any question of lack of experience. You are basically looking at teh American Margaret Thatcher. Get used to her. She’s going to be in your face for the next 16 years. It’s all over except for the tears and anger from your side that you were f*cked yet again. Write that down.

"If she used her office to settle a family score, she is scum, no matter how scummy the ex-brother in law is."

Before swallowing Democrat disinformation like an Alsakan salmon going after a lure, you might want to learn what the real facts are. The Flopping Aces blog has this nailed.

Start here.

This next.

You’re projecting your feelings about your ex-wife onto Governor Palin. Cool off and use your head.

“Some people need to be slapped up the side of hte head before they straighten out.”

Having resembled that remark myself a time or so, I agree with you.

“Let’s give the guy the benefit of the doubt.”

He's thirty-six, if I read correctly. My personal opinion of men, myself included, is that we finally start to grow up about that age. Looks like his is a case in support of my point. So, again, I agree with you.

Nah, I worked with morons like him. They're cowboys, and always like to push the envelope. I'd be very surprised if he manages to stay out of trouble for the next 13+ years, which if Alaska has a 20 year retirement system for their state troopers, is the least he'll have to do.

Wooten knows how to wield a stiletto.

Yes its from CNN. They were hoping that the Trooper would say some horrible things about the Governor. It didn’t work out the way they had hoped.

He admits that he tasered his 10-year-old son. He has no business being a law officer.

The American people will not hold this against her.
