Another ethics complaint is to be filed today against Alaska Governor Sarah Palin alleging wrongdoing.
Press release:
An ethics complaint against Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will be filed this afternoon asserting that Palin’s involvement with SarahPAC constitutes "outside employment" and "misuse of official position."
Anchorage resident Sondra Tompkins, child disability advocate and mother of a special needs child, is filing the complaint after observing Governor Palin repeatedly display "a pattern of unethical behavior." Sondra believes that the tipping point for her was Sarah Palin's most recent abdication of her role as Governor and apparent conflict-of-interest when she spoke at two outside events in Indiana rather than work with the Alaska Legislature during the most critical time, the end of the session.
The complaint alleges:
a) Governor Palin has entered into a contract outside of her official duties with the donors, employees, partners and any or all other participants involved in Sarah PAC.
b) The recent partisan trip to Indiana by the Governor was purely to benefit personal interests, had no benefit for the State of Alaska and was in direct conflict with her official duties.
c) The Governor left the State to participate in these events during the most critical end-of-session Legislative activities, at a time where the legislators themselves are not permitted to leave.
Seems Sondra Tompkins is another who has it in for the Governor. Although she claims to be a Republican voter, she popped up last fall on the Alaska Democratic Party website:
How many governors (and other pols) have PACS?
She’ll be an anchor by the time 2010 comes around.
Good grief, let’s send Alaska any other governor, take ARNOLD!....and see how they like it.
“Sondra believes that the tipping point for her was Sarah Palin’s most recent abdication of her role as Governor”
Press release garbage. Why propagate it? It’s only purpose is propagation. Without propagation, there is no issue. So why propagate?
The left is doing everything they can to derail Sarah. She is the real deal and a real threat.
Who wants to bet me that this woman also sat in Crawford with the Code Pink screwballs and what’shername?
This has gotten ridiculous. Are the dems THAT afraid of the GOvernor? If so why? Model that and we win
Unfortunately for Governor Palin, she’s a reformer and the establishment Republicans and Democrats all despise her, along with other assorted ankle-biters. She can survive this.
So all PACs are now an ethics complaint. OK .. lets start filing complaints.
First up, Murtha.
This deserves nothing but ridicule.
Cindy Sheehan?
Can’t the democrats in Alaska find a polar bear to save?....
What is it this time?
Did she forget to say “thank you, have a nice day” to the cashier at her local supermarket?
What we are experiencing is a flurry of pre-emptive strikes against Sarah by frightened liberals and other Sarah haters.
The objective is to make certain that when the public hears her name and sees her name it is always in a negative way.
By the time the 2012 election season arrives they hope the constant barrage of negative stories overcome the positive image she had before the liberal PR machine set out to destroy her.
Remember back when liberals were constantly bemoaning the “Politics Of Personal Destruction”?
I have repeatedly stated that Sarah is just the messenger, Jesus is the enemy of these deluded fools, and that includes many in the Republican party. As well as many Freepers. Christianity stands firmly in the way of the Hedonistic values of the homosexual lobby.
If things continue as they are currently, the GOP will take down Christianity, along with itself.
Gotta give it to these libs.
Nothing succeeds like success and they used these tactics on Gingrich and others to drive them away.
I hope Palin AND her supporters feel as I do and refuse to let this garbage deter us.
Unless conservatives and Republicans start to hang tough on this crap, they will blow away every candidate we come up with using the same hackneyed scriptline.
“a) Governor Palin has entered into a contract outside of her official duties with the donors, employees, partners and any or all other participants involved in Sarah PAC.”
Remember when they (some on FR!) tried this crappola on Duncan Hunter because he was involved with a PAC before he announced his bid for president. They couldn’t find anything against him, so like Sarah, they’re reaching for straws.
