Breaking News: Union Political Tricks Behind Palin’s Troopergate Issue

Reader SBD, who is one of the best researchers I have seen, has pulled together an exhaustive history of events and reports surrounding Palin’s battles with Walt Monegan and is allies. It is a comment worthy of being a post all on its own, and is being copied here.

Not surprising, the records shows that at the time Monegan was asked to take another position (he was not fired, he quit instead of taking the other job) all the reporting and screaming from Palin’s opponents revolved around the budget issues.

Excellent post. Consider yourself highly commended.

For even more grist, please read the first of the comments below that article. I am going to post it as a separate thread :-)

"So, put it all together, and in the past week Obama has stayed steady or lost support in every party identification group, yet Gallup says his overall support went up four points. And McCain stayed steady or went up in every party identification group, yet we are supposed to accept the claim that his overall support went down by four points? Anyone have an answer for how that is even possible? Well, actually I do. There is one, and only one, possible way that such a thing can happen mathematically. And that way, is that Gallup made major changes to the political affiliation weighting from the last week to now. Gallup has significantly increased the proportional weight of Democrat response and reduced the weight of Republican response. "

Cheers!

Florida AG announced Friday no wrongdoing was found with the Rep Foley ‘scandal’ — No charges will be filed.

Democrat specialty, making macaca out of nothing.

Thanks for the great post. Not surprising that a Union is at the root of it.

Of course you’ll never see this in the MSM or Fox.

Personally, I think the pollsters are naked short selling.

I wouldn’t say it was nothing. Foley used his elected position to identify targets (Senate pages—some of whom were underage) for advances he would make to them after they were gone and older. He is a predator, though it does not appear he actually consumated the intent when these people were underage or working as pages.

I think he did the right thing in resigning. Unlike the dimrats, at least most people on our side acknowledge their mistakes and get out of the way.

Did Foley mess with house pages or senate pages?

The Unions got MArk B elected and the cost of Govt went up oveer 50% - guess who got the pay raises?

That said, please don’t think the Unions are all that organized up here - and the local news outlets are not all that Union friendly.

DId Sara screw up - yes she did, on this and a lot of other things.

Several of us (Alsakans) tried to post here about the many pitfalls of a Palin pick, but now that it is a reality, I will vote for SAra, if only because The Zero is far too scary an alternate.

Sigh - where is a Ronny Ray-gun whenyou need him?

THe USA survived Grant, Hoover and Carter - we will survive whoever else gets elected I guess.

I think all conservatives should be furious and indignantly protest the tired and worn-out suffix “-gate” attached to Palin’s situation. It goes back to the Nixon/Watergate scandal years. When did we last hear the liberal MSM apply “Wrightgate,” “Ayersgate,” or “Rezkogate” to Obama? By allowing the media to selectively apply this to conservatives we’re surrendering to their agenda. It’s become such common parlance that even Palin supporters use the term. It suggests some dirt or scandal even if there is none.

Accusations tying Monegan’s firing to an attempt by the governor to get Wooten fired first became public Thursday on former state lawmaker Andrew Halcro’s blog. Halcro, who lost to Palin in the 2006 governor’s race, wrote on his post about the Monegan firing that the public safety budget was cut by .06 percent for this year under Palin. He conceded that was an error Friday.

But Halcro also suggested Monegan’s Friday revelation that he felt pressured by Todd Palin and others to fire Wooten should make those who attacked his blog reconsider.

“And just a note for all our skeptics and the Palin defenders since our story broke yesterday morning. … here’s looking at you kids,” Halcro wrote Friday.

The blog of the man Palin defeated is the source for the third attack on Palin? This is reporting? Have journalists now become nothing but repeater stations for any information they wish could be true, and so the avoid even investigating it so that their hopes can be realized? The man lost to Palin and then posts on his blog an accusation that the Monegan mess is not about budgets (as Monegan and his allies agreed it was) but about Mike Wooten, and people felt this was a credible source?

So, what is all this about if not 0.06% budget cuts. SBD fills in more details for us:

Who you might ask is Halcro and what is his connection to the Union?? Halcro is the only person who was backed by the PSEA who lost during that election. Sarah Palin ruined the PSEA record which stood at 18 out of 19 for the 2006 election.

No wonder Sarah and others have refused to comply with this horsesyhte investigation. Strata is indeed a 1st class researcher - this needs to get out and into living rooms, along with that pic of the urban pharOah's cheerleaders/Palin investigators. I thought I saved it :(

More on the link.

When there is no wrong doing found, being hounded out of office is not the way it should be ... Florida AG did not find he was ‘identifying anything’, nor acting improperly.
