Doesn’t have to be fair or factual, just has to enable the headline “Palin abused power.”
Is this a judges “opinion”?
I wonder how long ago this opin was prepared?
WHAT!?! He's a sneaky lying piece of slime.
So my layman’s reading of all this is that ‘tis much ado about nothing, yeah?
Violate scope not law? Only someone with a law degree could reach such a conclusion.
this was the political witchhunt we always knew it was.
The damn MSM of course treats it as an indictment, but we know there was nothing here to see.
At least the report broke on a friday. If it was REALLY bad, they would have released it on a Monday.
They fear her.
Here’s the bottom line: A group of political enemies announced that Governor Palin broke no laws but did things they didn’t like.
Anyone who says otherwise is a partisan liar.
That is the gist of a nationwide ad I’d immediately put on TV. Then I’d drop it.
What really does these people no good is that when people are curious and look into what was going on with the brother-in-law they find out about the death threat, tasering a 10 yr. old, drinking and driving his patrol car, illegally shooting a moose, etc. etc. I think this makes this all the more asinine and this ‘investigation’ was nothing but a sham by people who would have held high positions in the Gestapo.
PALIN/McCAIN MUST backfire immediately highlighting the maneuver aimed at hyding OSSABAMA’s scary record and relations.
IF they WANT to win they must strike hard
And hounded out of Alaska, along with Hollis Frnech and Kim Ellis.
Monagan (in my opinion based on a reading of the report) purposely tried to intimidate the governor when, in May 2008, he dropped off a picture for her to sign and present at the AST Memorial Day ceremony. The picture was to be displayed at all AST offices throughout the state. The picture was of a trooper in full uniform saluting. The picture was of Mike Wooten. Monagan claimed to not have known until receiving a call from the governor’s assistant that the man pictured was Wooten. HOGWASH! I believe this was an attempt to put the governor in her place - to tell her that no matter what she did, Wooten was safe - so safe, in fact, that he was going to be the very FACE of the Alaska State Troopers.
That’s the crux of the whole matter, right there. Read the report, and you’ll draw the same conclusion. Monagan was insubordinate to the governor in the worst way, and she fired him for it.
In the last sentence, I should have said she "reassigned him", not that she fired him. Either way, she took action to show him who was boss.
Check out how Huffingtonpost.com is spinning this...how many idiots will only get their view from there? Disgraceful
Why is it not surprising that Dems are siding with the 2 alleged wife beaters.
I hope when Palin is VP she also abuses her power and names, shames and fires those responsible for the economic crisis.
If this was their October surprise they sputtered like a little speck of dust in a vast universe!
McCain / Palin 2008 !!!
BTW, pray for a quick turn around with the stock market. After this is overwith the Conservative/Republicans need to stand together and “DEMAND” a full investigation into this financial situation with the understanding an “INDEPENDENT” committee be chosen. Isn’t it amazing how this has been building over the years, but yet this did NOT take place until after the Conventions and almost before the General Elections??? We are being manipulated and duped. Wake up America!!
BE BLESSED FREEPERS!!!
“Governor Palin’s firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.”
I think the point needs to be made that THIS was the finding. The rest was a political hit job of innuendo and presumption. The legislature has no authority to conduct his investigation, only the personnel board. Therefore this “report” was merely a democrat-driven screed as revenge against a reformer and part of an obama dirty tricks campaign.
Neither Wooten nor Monegan should have been in their respective positions. Yes, Palin had a personal stake in the matter - Wooten was threatening members of her family, and Monegan was untrustworthy. The cutesy little “oh my God, she broke the law” Democrats are a bunch of smartass phonies.
This whole incident is PATENT BULLSH!T cooked up by the PINKOS and costing the taxpayers of Alaska thousands of dollars and waisting everybody’s time. MEANINGLESS CRAP.
I think there is a tremendous scandal here. I want to know what kind of dirt that Trooper had on the Commissioner! Why was the Trooper NOT fired immediately and why does he still have a job with the state police? Inquiring minds want to know.
