This is proof MSM smeared Palin, taking side of two aledged wife beaters instead of reporting objectively. They may not have beat her physically, but they did it verbally for weeks. It is totally disgusting. Hope this rallies women and the base.

All those like creepy CRYPT-Keeper Alan Colmes who claimed Governor Palin violated her office need to FORMALLY appologize....no I don’t mean “issue a statement”! They need to beg on hands and knees for forgiveness, then she should prompty issue a lawsuit for DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER. All the DUmocrat JACKASSES should be hung out to dry on this one!

I just watched Sarah give a wonderful speech in Colorado Springs. She did not mention the ‘bankrupting the coal industry line’ even though she was in Colorado, which is a coal-producing state. Let me speculate a little. If the McCain campaign and Sarah were desperate, don’t you think she would have levelled both barrels of the gun at Obama and Biden. I just get the impression that she feels confident, that the whole campaign feels fairly confident of the results tomorrow. Now I could be dead wrong, but I hope I’m not.

It was a political stunt and the media played the game while Obama is out there claiming he will bankrupt the country which the media basically ignored.

Go Palin 2012!

I will dedicate the next 4 years doing everything I can to bankrupt the media for this arrogant and near criminal game they have played.

First, she did NOT try to get her ex brother-in-law fired.

IF she was trying to get him fired....WHY DOES HE STILL HAVE A JOB? Does anyone really think that a Governor couldn’t get a state trooper fired if that is the desire?

Of course she didn’t violate any ethics laws but hey, it was a nice try by her enemies.

Also, why hasn’t this fine, fine fellow, who tasered his young stepson may I remind, showed his face in public?

Could be cause he really is an asshole who drove a cop car around whilst drinking beers and other terrible things for a cop in uniform to be doing? There are plenty of witnesses telling about this guy and their names are not Palin.

Palin wanted to fire that jerk who was HER employee and this fabulous piece of fiction and waste of taxpayer dollars followed.

I do believe in that movie, that the character ( Moriarty ) played by Gavin MacLeod ( Captain Merrill Stubing on the LOVE BOAT ) was the one who was always negative.

In the article CNN is already spinning it as a different result from the first, which was run by a bunch of Obama supporters. Even the legislative investigation said she didn’t violate any laws though they said she abused her power (but didn’t say how).

CNN can spin it all they want. Once the full report comes out, they'll see the it specifically REFUTES the earlier one.

This isn't just a disagreement. This report specifically points out the errors made by Branchflower.

Personnel Board Report

"Summary of Public Findings and Recommendations":

  1. There is no probable cause to believe that Governor Palin violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act by making the decision to dismiss Department of Public Safety Commissioner Monegan and offering him instead the position of Director of the Alaska Beverage Control Board.

  2. There is no probable cause to believe that Governor Palin violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act in any other respect in connection with the employment of Alaska State Trooper Michael Wooten.

  3. There is no basis upon which to refer the conduct of Governor Palin to any law enforcement agency in connection with this matter because Governor Palin did not commit the offenses of Interference with Official Proceedings or Official Misconduct.

  4. 4. There is no probable cause to believe that any other official of state government violated any substantive provision of the Ethics Act.

  5. There is no legal basis or jurisdiction for conducting a “Due Process Hearing to Address Reputational Harm” as requested by former Commissioner Walter Monegan.

  6. The Amended Complaint by the PSEA should be dismissed.

  7. Independent Counsel recommends that the appropriate agency of State government address the issue of the private use of e-mails for government work and revisit the record retention policies of the Governor’s Office.

These findings differ from those of the Branchflower Report because Independent Counsel has concluded the wrong statute was used as a basis for the conclusions contained in the Branchflower Report, the Branchflower report misconstrued the available evidence and did not consider or obtain all of the material evidence that is required to properly reach findings.

It’s pronounced “Tasergate”.

Don’t just go with whatever doublespeak the dinosaur media lefties come up with. They only win if you let them ignore the facts.

I was just reading another thread, and comments from others were basically the same as yours. McCain looks younger and more animated now than he did at the beginning of the campaign, and Obama looks desperate.(flipping McCain off being only one of those indicators)

Does anyone remember what the exact AP headline was a few weeks ago when this was first released???? I wish I had saved the email we got from our local newspaper. It was the AP headline, and it was a lie. Did they ever retract it? NO! Did they send it more than once as a BREAKING story? yes. And have they sent out a BREAKING story this time? Of course not. Instead, they are headlining that Barack Obama’s grandmother died TWO days before the election. But the story says she died on Monday though no one has given an official date as far as I can tell.
