Another Ethics Complaint Rejected
Office Of Alaska Governor Palin ^ | 7/15/09 | Governor Palin

Another Ethics Complaint Rejected

July 15, 2009, Anchorage, Alaska - The Alaska Personnel Board has rejected another ethics complaint lodged against Governor Sarah Palin.

The complaint alleged that the governor misused state time by accepting media interviews. The complaint also alleged that Governor Palin was paid for television and radio interviews. Governor Palin has not been paid for media interviews.

This complaint was filed by Raymond Alvin Ward on July 9. It was rejected in part because it was not properly notarized. In addition, Personnel Board Chairman Debra English said the board had already determined media interviews did not violate the Ethics Act. Ward lacked evidence to support his allegation that the governor received any payment for media interviews.

Governor Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, responded to the dismissal saying, "The board has appropriately determined that a complaint must have a factual basis of some type and that complaints based on pure speculation are not proper. This most recent complaint demonstrates the problem with the system, and the manner in which it can be abused."

“I’m so sick of these idiots. All they accomplish is making me want to donate more to Sarah.”

Not I.....

All I want to do is destroy each and every one of them....

When they attack her, they attack all of us.... well, er,

those of us that have not gone over to the dark side.

I believe the Lib’s hate her because they cannot be like her, and that causes their inner rage to explode.

Of course, now that she has resigned. They got what they wanted.

They're going to get much more than they wanted as Sarah goes National - Good news or slimey news, they won't be able to go to the store, bar, restaraunt or turn the TV, radio, or computer without hearing her name.

She's gonna eat her way into their brains....Bwahahahahaha!

Sarah ~ Poor Bastards, they got me surrounded ;~)

It doesn’t really matter anymore.

There were 16 new reports of ethics violations in the news, thats what people see.

If she runs for anything, the left will just bring up the fact the she had 16 ethics violations and not that they were dismissed - nobody sees they were dismissed in the news.

How does she overcome that?
The MSM has to hammer the fact that the complaints were dismissed, will they? I don’t think so.

I love Governor Palin's tweets from earlier this morning:

"Great day w/bear management wildlife biologists; much to see in wild territory incl amazing creatures w/mama bears' gutteral raw instinct to"

"protect & provide for her young;She sees danger?She brazenly rises up on strong hind legs, growls Don't Touch My Cubs & the species survives"

"& mama bear doesn't look 2 anyone else 2 hand her anything; biologists say she works harder than males, is provider/protector for the future">

"Yes it was another outstanding day in AK seeing things the rest of America should see;applicable life lessons we're blessed to see firsthand"

Maybe the anklebiters in and around Anchorage, BUT certainly not Obama's war room, which had planned to keep the governor caged in Alaska so that she could be picked to death by a thousand ethic complaints.

The anklebiters are too stupid to realize that by hounding Sarah Palin out of office, they have made her far more powerful for the Conservative cause by enabling her to take the stage Nationally again.

To use a good analogy, think about Obi-Wan Kenobi sacrificing himself to Vader in Star Wars, but first warning Vader that he would "become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."

They should be mindful of the adage: "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."

They hate her because they hate successful, powerful women of faith and morality. That she’s white is an even greater reason for guilt riddled liberals to despise her.

Liberals are the most bigoted people on earth.

they are 0-16 on these complaints, but 1-0 in getting her out of office, which was the point all along. This is NOT backfiring on them. It will only backfire on them when the GOP learns how to fight.

President Palin would want that law on the books, but the lawyers? Not. Who would win?

Maybe not a fastball, but definitely have better form than what was just seen. I used to be quite good—but use it or lose it, is a law of physics! LOL

Sarah has enough crowd draw and money making appeal that she may be able to dispell lies herself. The Soros & company (including the Clintons), will have to fight the masses in the next couple of years. I pray for her safety.

I understand there are 20 known complaints. This was the 16th that has been rejected. 4 still pending is my understanding, including a complaint against her legal defense fund itself.

Can Sarah file an ethics complaint against all the jerks who have been filing frivolous ethics complaints? The complaint would be using government resources for political purposes.
