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.”

No, but Squawb’s on the menu....
It's the challenge, mainly.
you are FULL of it tonight! LOL
Let’s see how he looks when (if?) Rezko starts singing next week as rumored.
“Obama has Rezko as a “financial adviser”, Ayers as a close associate, and Raines as his “housing adviser”, and they want to make a big deal of this because they were trying to get a cop who tasered his own son off the street?”
I saw that too. Sarah should use that quote in her stump speeches. I also liked what Morris said about the public being terrified of Obama, if only McCain would give them assurances to vote for him (McCain) instead.
Oh yeah, I watched that little sniveling idiot rat fink hoping someone would just punch his lights out.
If only.
“McCain is standing by Sarah.”
Yeah, but for how long? He too easily “reaches across the aisle”. He may try to “reach across the aisle” again and dump her to make nice with Dems.
We have to say on the old man and pretty much let him now dumping Palin WILL be the final straw. He dumps her, we stay home on election day and prepare to take up arms to fight our coming Facist dictator Obama!
“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.”
I saw that and it was a great smack down of Colmes!
It should be spun as a HUGE positive:
McCain should immediately release a statement:
“When Sarah sees a wrong, she will act within her power and within the law to right it, even if it is unpopular and questioned by the good ‘ol boy cronies of the political establishment. Imagine if we had her fighting along side me against the corruption in Fannie/Freddie many years ago.”
McCain/Palin can not afford to let the negative spin on this story dominate even a single news cycle.
Hit back hard and use it show that a strong-willed reformer such as Sarah would have blown the whistle on the Democrats in congress and their myopia that led to the financial meltdown.
Heh. I’m thinking about setting up a book on this. I really think McCain’s going to toss her out for this, and that’s a crime.
I’ve been politically involved since the 60’s and have seen worse. If they didn’t fear her, she wouldn’t get the attention she is getting. How much have you heard about Biden in comparison to Palin … even conservatives don’t fear him. Have faith, she’s tough and will survive AND will be our first Female President in 2012. ;-)
Eat it then.
Oh come on, give me a break. No way in hell does McCain use this decision to his campaign’s advantage. The man is neutered, plain and simple.
you think McCain wants to lose the election ?
Okay-I’m pissed because AOL is running an article that is saying the complete opposite, that she abused her power!!! Freakin media!!!!!
Governor Palin’s firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.
They should include this exact quote. No paraphrases. This is very very important. What the AP and the other MSM are doing is unconscionsble. McCain should quote this part of the report verbatim during his next debate and take the lying MSM to task for their outrageous lies and distortions about Sarah Palin.
Abuse of power my ass.
Real abuse of power: Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, Frank Raines, Jim Johnson, Chuch Schummer.
Don’t count your Squawb before they’re hatched there, son.
