Alaska Governor Sarah Palin acted “within proper and lawful authority” in removing the state’s public safety commissioner, the McCain-Palin Republican presidential ticket has said in response to a state report.
The McCain-Palin statement said, “Today’s report shows that the Governor acted within her proper and lawful authority in the reassignment of Walt Monegan.”
“This was a partisan led inquiry run by (Barack) Obama supporters and the Palins were completely justified in their concern regarding Trooper (Michael) Wooten given his violent and rogue behaviour,” the campaign’s statement said. Senator Obama is the Democratic presidential candidate.
“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 McCain-Palin statement said.
Wild Thing’s comment……….
Screw you Obama and your people. Yes I blame Obama for this waste of time and harassment as much as his voters that saw fit to even go afetr Sarah Palin about this.
Sarah is vindicated there is no offense and we KNEW there wouldn’t be. What a farce this was, what horrible people. Their deeply partisan opinion that she “abused” her power is a hollow death rattle for their “investigation.”
If I remember right. This trooper not only Tasered the 10 year old , Sarah Palin’s nephew, but threatened to shoot their father. Isn’t that a threat to do bodily harm to a member of the First Family of Alaska ?
Allan the Ass, never mentioned that part of it. She acted to protect her family as any responsible adult would do.
This has been a witch hunt since She was named VP nominee. This is the best they can do ? Her primary duty as Govenor is to protect the citizens of Alaska, I think her sister, who also lives in Alaska would qualify as a citizen.
Obama spent all this money on an investigation of Sarah Palin, as Govenor, and got nothing in return
sounds like ole barry can’t do anything but waste money. I am sure they are really disappointed in the results of their investigation.
I don’t see this as affecting the campaign in anyway. Normal Americans want to protect their families, and admire someone who actually does it.
This is the witch hunt to nowhere just like the commie obama campaign.
Plus, can’t the governor hire and fire at will? Isn’t Alaska an AT-Will state? I don’t see where the problem is. She was his boss, he was insubordinate, case closed.
The dummys want a smear on McCain’s record so that they can wave their stinky, smelly, nasty little fingers in the air and claim the republicans have a vp who was brought up on criminal charges, too. (remember Hitlary being the first first lady brought up on criminal charges? Blood don’t run uphill-Vince Foster.)
They are the most vile sacks of crap I have ever laid my eyes on or listened to. They aren’t like the “true” democrats (Joe Lieberman, John F Kennedy–the more moderate, conservative view point). They are socialists through and through. Let’s do this for the “good” of the country. Are they willing to be part of the “good” change or will they sit in ivory towers with crowns of jewels and gold on their heads while the rest of us suffer? Will they continue to tell us that the suffering will stop when they make yet another change? Where does the insanity stop? What rights and freedoms do we lose? Will we have to take the mark of the beast just to survive? Even the Bible tells us about the antichrist being heralded as a God. Isn’t that happening with Obamanation? You don’t take the mark, you die. You think this is going to be good for us if Obamanation wins? The blacks don’t realize it’s slavery all over again and ALL of us will be slaves! Vote McCain-Palin for your very freedom and your life!
I’m getting tired of the way the lead this story that she abused her power.
They make it sound like she committed some huge infraction.
The summary was that she “failed to act” to stop Todd from talking to officials trying to get the cop fired. Todd even told them when he was interviewed that she told him to stop talking about it.
So there you have it. I think the Personnel Board will see through this, but it won’t be until after the election.
One of the Obama spokesholes was downplaying it this morning on FOX much to my shock. I guess he really doesn’t want to go there, with a spouse like Michelle to defend, and a boss like Obama, whose record in Illinois is dismal, with many ties to pork for favors.
Eden you work at Fox can’t you arrange a ‘blanket-party’ for Allan Colmes. This guy is a world class idiot. After the VP debate had Allan been in the same room with Dick Morris, I think Morris would have taken his head off.
Mark yesssss your right,he did, thank you for bringing that up.
Sheesh oh my gosh and they think the had no right to do something about all of that.
Lynn, yes I sure would think so. Good grief if she can’ do things that are necessary to protect her own family we are in well we already are in a worse place in our country. waaaaaaaaaa
Eden, …”The summary was that she “failed to act” to stop Todd from talking to officials trying to get the cop fired.”…..your right that is what their gripe came down to. And I could care less. Todd did the protective thing for the family.
Thanks Eden.
Mark heh heh good idea, Alan Colmes has gotten more mouthie then he used to be. He never used to talk over people like he does now.
When one does the RIGHT thing, one is criticized and smeared during these dark times…”The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” – Ecclesiastes 10:2
Sarah did the RIGHT thing!
