Troopergate Report: Palin Abused Power Unanimous but Contentious Vote to Release the Report to the Public By JUSTIN ROOD Oct. 10, 2008 (AP Graphic) Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired her Public Safety Commissioner this July, a state investigation has concluded. The Alaska legislature voted to release the several-hundred page report on the "Troopergate" scandal, a state kerfuffle which has come to haunt Gov. Sarah Palin's vice presidential bid. The scandal centered around her firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan, which Monegan and others believed was part of a personal vendetta against one of his subordinates. The 14-member, Republican-dominated Legislative Council met in closed session this morning with the investigation's special counsel, Stephen Branchflower. After seven hours of exhaustive review, the legislators voted unanimously to release the report to the public. "I'm going to vote to release it, but it's not a vote in total agreement," said Republican Sen. Gary Stevens. "There's not a consensus for the conclusion," said GOP Rep. Bill Stoltze. He said he expected there would be "robust and vigorous intellectual debate on that in other corners." Stoltze said he had received hundreds of e-mails from all over the country calling for the public release of the report. The state added extra servers to handle the traffic expected when the report is posted electronically to the legislature's Web site. The Legislative Council voted unanimously to initiate the investigation in late July, after Palin fired former Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. The probe was to determine whether she fired Monegan because he refused to take action against a state trooper who had been through a messy divorce from Palin's sister. Palin denied wrongdoing and initially voiced support for the investigation. But after she joined the national Republican ticket, she and her supporters said the legislature had no right to investigate her, and accused legislators involved in the probe of supporting Democratic Sen. Barack Obama's presidential bid. A lawsuit to stop the probe, which echoed many of the campaign's charges, was thrown out yesterday by the state Supreme Court.
I guess tazering kids and driving around drunk is hunkey dorey with you and the political charge. You Obama supporters are getting desperate.
What are you talking about? Oh, don't forget that Mao killed 30 million people. Right? Fact is, my old friend, Ms. Barackuda broke the law and she's toast. It's just a fact, uncovered by a fact-finding investigator.
Facts are Ayers broke the law and Obama is his good friend. Ayers didn't get a life-term in jail only becasue of a technicality. Obama hangs out with terrorists and think a story about a governor firing an employee that abused his wife and threatened to kill her is going anywhere? Funny! Their conclusion that she abused her power means nothing. Unless a court of law determines that it carries no weight other than to smear a popular governor.
Fact is, my friend, that Ayers is not Obama's good friend. Anyways, Sarah is toast and she's dragging McCain wit her, down into the tar pit.
So regale us all with indepth descriptions of all the "Meet the Candidate" parties you've held over the years in your own private residence for people you dont know..... And while you're at it, take a poll of your neighbors and friends and co-workers and determine how many of them have done likewise. And at the same time, you might let us know how many boards of directors you serve on with all these candidates.
Look, I'm not planning to enter into absurd 'debates' about nothing with anyone. Note the topic of this thread: Sarah found to be a power abuser. Do you have anything to say about that? If you want to discuss solar eclipses, I suggest you find the proper thread or start one.
They don't have the constitutional authroity under Alaskas constitution to do squat. It is political posturing. Keep it up no one gives a shit about it. When you Obama worshippers talk about this constantly ordinary folks say this is the worse she ever did. People don't give a shit. Only Obama dopers such as yourself do.
By no means am I a worshiper of Obama, but when added up, the collective mean spirited qualities of McSame and Mrs. Palin and their incredible spin - cinches the likelyhood that I will vote Obama next month.
Obama is for killing babies born alive. That is evil. Go ahead and vote for evil.
For the THIRD time in my life I'm voting AGAINST somebody instead FOR somebody. Bottom line, this will be the state of the USA if Obummer becomes POTUS:
I want to live like Mad Max. Taylors world would be fun too. Take your damned hand off me you dirty ape. I'm actually undecided. I may vote McCain. But I like Baldwin better and maybe I'll vote for him.
As of now McCain has basically no chance of winning, so you may as well vote for Baldwin.
McCain is going to win. Don't discount the fact that Obama is black. A lot of people don't like blacks period. I'm not saying that is right but that is the way it is. You Obama voters are trying to be clever and say vote third party while you vote for Obbamination.
