STATEMENT FROM MCCAIN-PALIN SPOKESWOMAN MEG STAPLETON
Friday, October 10, 2008
ARLINGTON, VA — McCain-Palin 2008 spokeswoman Meg Stapleton issued the following statement on today’s release of Stephen Branchflower’s report:
“Today’s report shows that the Governor acted within her proper and lawful authority in the reassignment of Walt Monegan. The report also illustrates what we’ve known all along: this was a partisan led inquiry run by Obama supporters and the Palins were completely justified in their concern regarding Trooper Wooten given his violent and rogue behavior. Lacking evidence to support the original Monegan allegation, the Legislative Council seriously overreached, making a tortured argument to find fault without basis in law or fact. The Governor is looking forward to cooperating with the Personnel Board and continuing her conversation with the American people regarding the important issues facing the country.”

Son of William Buckley voting for communist Obama.
Another snobby, wealthy child of privilege.
These idiots don’t realize that they’ll be among the first ones lined up in front of the trenches once all their wealth has been confiscated by the bolshevik rabble.
It's bad enough that I had to read him saying it, but did you have to post it so graphically here?
[shudder]
Some of us are.... spokespersons.

Sorry.
I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.
The little snot has probably never worked a real job in his entire life.
Just like his Marxist hero, Obama.

Well... from Wikipedia:
After a classical education at the Portsmouth Abbey School, Buckley, like his father, graduated from Yale University, as a member of Skull and Bones. He became managing editor of Esquire Magazine and later worked as the chief speechwriter for Vice President George H. W. Bush. This experience led to his novel The White House Mess, a satire on White House office politics and political memoirs. (The title refers to the White House lunchroom, which is known as the "mess" because the Navy operates it.)
Thank You for Smoking is another satire, its protagonist a lobbyist for the tobacco industry, Nick Naylor. He followed that with more humor about Washington in the form of Little Green Men, about the government agency investigating UFO sightings. His No Way To Treat A First Lady has the president's wife on trial for assassinating her husband and Florence of Arabia is about a do-gooding State Department bureaucrat in the Middle East. His one serious novel, Wet Work, is about a billionaire businessman avenging his granddaughter's death from drugs.
Thank You for Smoking was adapted into a movie written and directed by Jason Reitman and starring Aaron Eckhart. It was released on March 17, 2006.
Buckley also wrote the non-fiction Steaming To Bamboola, about the merchant marine, as well as contributed to an oral history of Milford, Connecticut, and is an editor at Forbes Magazine. Buckley has written for most national newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Time, The Atlantic Monthly, Smithsonian, US News & World Report, Vanity Fair, Vogue and Conde Nast Traveler [1]. He has also published numerous humorous essays in The New Yorker, and writes the back-page column for National Review, the conservative magazine founded by his father.[2]

Cool, it worked.
Someone elk is too.
Yah, those Harvard diplomas have sure helped our economy—Barney Frank, the heads of the brokerages, Obama... An education is only good if you use it with integrity. Some are brought up better than others and use the inner moral compass to make decisions. I think that is what we have in Ms. Palin, she was brought up with good and decent values and has used them to govern Wasilla, the State of Alaska and, I hope, our country.
Go read Victor Davis Hanson. Come back and discuss.
Just be glad you’re not MooseGroveDan.
Indeed. My sister would be afraid to visit.
Well damn, if we’re going to demonize education and promote mediocrity, we might as well elect a president by lottery. If the local Ju Co is better than an Ivy League education, then a high school dropout must be even better. Let’s get it over with and instead of electing someone who can relate to Joe Six Pack, let’s just elect ol’ Joe Six Pack himself.
As I thought.
The little snot has had quite the cushy life, built on the hard work of an ancestor, and sweetly lubricated by the connections established by his progenitors.
He has been “royalty” all his life and has no real appreciation for what it’s like to be a trench warrior, like those of us who worke our way up - the hard way.
My parents were Italian immigrants, with no connections, and very little money.
It would be one thing if this guy were pulling for people like us, but he ain’t. He’s pulling for another snob, a contemporary of his, Obama and his leftist buddies.
Young Buckley might be fortunate enough not to be just a useful idiot to the Obama-Ayers-Alinski axis, as are the millions of pie-eyed swooners that think Obama has their best interests at heart.
Young Buckly is not just one of Obama’s contemporaries, he’s one of his comrades.
Somebody named OldBuzzard over on the Hannity board made a really great observation:
Just a simple question here, since I’m a conservative, and according to the liberals ‘not too bright’.
If she fired the guy because he wouldn’t fire the trooper...why didn’t the guy she replaced him with fire the trooper either?
I mean, if the issue was firing the trooper, wouldn’t she have picked someone that WOULD fire him?
Just asking for some liberal who is obviously much smarter than I am, since I’m a conservative, to explain all off this to me. *whistles*
Demonize education? Promote mediocrity?
Let’s demonize those that have been elected by the people who do not govern with a servant’s heart and only for the power or favors that can be gained—this week we have learned that those who either were elected or appointed to positions of advocacy for the people of our country misused, mishandled and lied about what was happening with FM/FM. We have read that when AIG is given a taxpayer bailout they feel free to indulge in a company (taxpayer) paid jaunt to a five-star resort and pay themselves bonuses. Care to examine where these politicians and titans of AIG went to college? Perhaps Harvard is a first class education but the person entering the university must have integrity, good values and character for the diploma to mean anything when they exit the Ivy League.
I really care not where you went to school, I care what you do. Ms. Palin can document what she has done in Alaska with her state school education. Obama can only document who his associates are because he has no record to examine, he of Harvard and Columbia.
I already said I’m voting against Obama. My argument isn’t Palin vs. Obama, it’s Palin vs. the many better GOP VP selections that could have been made so that the GOP ticket is not the laughing stock that it is.
Don't worry friend, if he wins they will track you down and shut you up LONG before his first term ends. These are very dangerous people.
Why should they track me down? What did I just say that was a threat?
Yeah, this has been the longest election cycle ever, and we’re down to the wire. Both sides going for the jugular.
