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.”

And that’s that. Don’t give them the pleasure of any further comment, Sarah.

But that shouldn't stop us from finding and highlightinh some interesting facts about others revealed in the voluminous text.

Great! I’m glad they’re on top of it. The report is the weakest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Branchflower, French and company tried to make the most out of nothing. The best they could do was say she “likely” used her power for personal gain. I think Sarah should mock the report on the campaign trail and give her side of the story (the truth) every chance she gets.

I just listened to a clip on Fox from earlier today in which McCain says Americans shouldn’t fear Obama, that he’d be a fine president.

I swear the guy is senile.

Here he’s spent millions this week, hours and hours to question Obama’s alliances, and then he says that Obama would be just fine and not fearful.

Dole II.

Poor Palin, though, wants to win. Gosh, I like her.

This is where the idiots that run our campaigns forget to put the hammer down. They should have noted the DemoRat that was in charge of this panel was a big time Obama supporter. You got to get those digs in.

But, but, John McCain swears that Obama is such a nice man! Why would Obama’s people say such mean things about a fine upstanding hockey mom Governor? I’m so confused John! Are you sure Barack couldn’t possibly be a ruthless Marxist Rat?

What a strange finding.  http://ktuu.images.worldnow.com/images/incoming/branchflowerreport.pdf  Basically it says: "The Governor is innocent and acted entirely within her rights firing this man. She can fire him for cause, little cause or absolutely no cause, therefore, we find she abused her power."

Toe sucker also said that if she abused power to get a dangerous trooper off the street she should abuse power. Her job is to make the streets safe for Alaskans.

Nothing is going to happen to Sarah but before this is done some liberals may find themselves confronted. They have been marketing in hate against Sarah Palin and none of the wonderfully egalitarian conservatives like David Brookes said anything. The swine will not find pearls before them. The pearls they deserve are made of heavier material.

Yes, I am sorry to hear that. First sign she's toast. And I really liked her, too.

I expect the cut and run cowards will be here to cry about
how their favorite cut and run party would be better.

Parties like the CP, the other CP, LP, GP and DP have
at their base “Give up the Ship”.

Let’s be correct in our terminology here people they are

Demon Rats. They have taken the c from country, the c from compassion, the c from common ground, the c from civil debate, the c from constitutional rights, the c from court ethics, and are trying to take the c from conservative and the c from christian, and the c from c from America and make it Amerika. They have replaced the c with r for radical, r for rude, r for rabid haters, r for rationalization of self hatred, r for ridicule of patriotism, r for rights of terrorists, illegals, criminals and drug takers and sellers and politicians but restrictions on tax payers, soldiers, moms and dads. Therefore I tell you they are DEMON RATS. AND THEY WILL TAKE US TO THE HELL OF SOCIALIST EUROPE AND RADICALIZED MIDDLE EAST UNLESS WE FIGHT. The first DEMON RAT I WOULD LIKE TO SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP AND TAKE A VACATION TO TAHITI IS ALAN COLMES. HIS FACE JUST ENRAGES ME. HE IS LIKE A ROBOT WITH A PRE TAPED REEL.

Ok the caps are off. Just watched Obsession about radical Islam. In it the Blind Sheik of Britain guarantees his followers that Allah’s flag would fly over the parliament and the White House. Louis Farrakhan may get his ‘Messiah” in the white house sooner than we all realized.

Goodnight and God Save the Queen and the rest of us.

That’s not what McCain said.

He’s saying - let’s criticize, but be respectful about it (i.e., don’t shout things from the audience that are going to be a distraction to my campaign and my message!!!)

Most Americans are watching High School Football or eating popcorn at the movie theater.

Gunny French and the crew sure picked a good time to release the their “October Surprise”....

Sarah can sleep well tonight know that this P.O.S. investigation is over.

“Seriously folks, where are the supporters of McCain/Palin. They are silent!!”

I’m not silent. So you just figured out that the Rats control the MSM? Welcome to America circa 2008.
