Another Private Palin Email Account?

Is this what the 30 drones came up with in Alaska? I’m referring, of course, to the lawyers and researchers that the Obama campaign sent there to dig up ANYTHING that can be used aagainst Gov. Palin. The fact is, most people who are not in the liberal progressive camp could not care less about this Monegan thing. She has every right to get rid of any public employee in her domain for whatever reason she deems necessary. End of story. BTW: how many e-mail accounts does Obama have? Why isn’t his illegal campaign funding a concern of ABC News?

Is she that dumb that she had to have a technician set up a simple email account? Really?

NO, you can’t just “get rid” of anyone she wants, ESPECIALLY when there’s a conflict of interest.

“She has every right to get rid of any public employee in her domain for whatever reason she deems necessary.”
Really?! Really? Are you sure you don’t want to back up on that statement just a little? We have employee protection in the U.S. for a reason.
BTW, I do think that Troopergate is an important issue. Palin’s actions reveal what kind of leader she is and would be in the White House. Do we want another leader who practices cronyism and secrecy?

Guess she’s not quite so dumb after all – or has some smarty-pants operatives/lawyers around her. Can’t wait to see what she sent from Bristol’s e-mail account.

Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and The Pentagon in 1972, as he noted in his 2001 book, Fugitive Days. Because of a water leak caused by the Pentagon bombing, aerial bombardments during the Vietnam War had to be halted for several days. Ayers writes:
Although the bomb that rocked the Pentagon was itsy-bitsy – weighing close to two pounds – it caused ‘tens of thousands of dollars’ of damage. The operation cost under $500, and no one was killed or even hurt. In that same time, the Pentagon spent tens of millions of dollars and dropped tens of thousands of pounds of explosives on Viet Nam, killing or wounding thousands of human beings, causing hundreds of millions of dollars of damage.[13]

“Yeah… like Bush had every right to fire those attorney generals. You folks amaze me.”
First, it is US attorneys, not ‘attorney generals.’
Second… yeah, you mean how Clinton fired 93 US attorneys at the beginning of his Presidency. (Bush fired eight.)
Surely, you hadn’t forgotten about Bubba’s massive firing. Surely.

“Monegan is an “at will” employee. She can fire him for any reason or no reason at all.” may be true but the state trooper she was trying to get fired is a civil servant,so if it’s proven she was putting pressure on her “at will” employee to fire him,it’s conspiracy and in fact illegal!

Sarah Palin, as governor of Alaska, does NOT have the right to fire for whatever reason she wants . . . hence the reason the state senate committee, including a majority of her own party, voted unanimously to investigate the discharge of Walt Monegan to determine whether she had abused the authority of her position. And Sarah Palin knows she does not have the right to fire for whatever reason she wants, which is why SHE AGREED, initially, to fully cooperate in the investigation. That is before she set her sites on the second highest office in the land and decided that the stakes of being cooperative were too costly in the face of more ambitious goals. While it doesn’t surprise me that Republicans are so callous and would support Walt Monegan being fired simply because he refused fire another man who had the audacity to have once been married to Palin’s sister, and have gone through a bitter divorce with that sister. I am an attorney and guess what? Divorces are bitter. People say and do things that are not nice and are incredibly hurtful. They are highly emotional and very charged situations. And in this case – the judge who presided over Palin’s sister’s divorce wasn’t chastising the ex-husband for being difficult, he was chastising Sarah Palin’s sister and HER FAMILY (i.e. SARAH PALIN saying back off and leave him alone, see Court orders which were not fabricated by the Democrats as they existed prior to her entering the presidential election process). In all my years and with all the bitterness I’ve seen and the terrible emotions I’ve counseled people through, I’ve never seen a family so intent on deliberately campaigning to destroy an ex . . . . and then Palin attains the highest executive state office in Alaska and tries to use her influence to get the ex fired even after being warned by the to stop doing that! In other words, she tries to financially destroy this man. And when Monegan refuses to partipate she fires him, and she destroys his career. And might I remind you that Monegan had a long and distinguished career. He was very well respected in the State of Alaska in his field. And you republican folks are saying it’s no big deal? It’s her right to do that? That, ladies and gentleman, is a classic case of abuse of power. And it is most relevant to this campaign because she can and most certainly will do similar things as the VP . . . people will certainly upset her and what sort of systematic campaigns will she embark upon to destroy them personally and professionally? And anyone who doesn’t join on that campaign will be tossed in the food line right along with them. Perhaps if you happen to be one of those who cross her you’ll feel differently after your career and livelihood is destroyed because of her petty vengefulness and abuse of power. It may not be quite as brutal as executing someone, but it is the financial equivalent.
And for those that are trying to say how is this any different than a new president coming into office and appointing a new cabinet? Please?!?!? There are those that hold top offices, those who are political appointees who know that when there is a change in administration that will likely be replaced. That’s a changing of the guard and is a civilized process. It is very different than an abuse of power . . . . being fired because you refused to do something unethical at the direction of your supervisor.
Many, many government employees are not at-will employees and cannot be terminate without cause and due process.
And we do have employment laws that protect even at will employees. Some of you republicans may want to read up on them.
I know that sometimes those pesky civil rights get in the way of the republican agenda, but once in awhile it helps to remember them . . . they’re the laws that demand we act with humanity.

Pailin If you nothing to hide, What is the problem..
If they throw her out, she can come to Texas and run for Mayor in any of the many Cities that have a population greater than the state of Alaska.
Of course if you come to Texas, and start lying to us Texas boys, we are likely to tar and feather and sent you back to Alaska.

The guy who hacked into her personal email (son of a Democratic congressman) said he couldn’t find anything bad. Why wasn’t that the headline?
How many people here can set up their own email account on a personal server?
