Todd Palin Pushed Firing for Years, Probe Told

The only way Palin is getting in to the Oval Office is with a tour pass. Keep your head in the sand, when you come up for air take a look at the electoral map. You are about to see the biggest Democratic landslide since 1964.
Republicans got their wish in 2004 and re-elected Bush who has trashed this country in 8 years. As President Obama said “Bush dug us a hole & McCain carried the shovel”.
Thanks again for the Palin pick, it’s the gift that keeps on giving to the Democrats.

It’s funny how McCain’s people never mention the make-up of the committee supposedly controlled by Obama. It’s eight republicans and only four democrats. Palin prefers the panel she picked because she appointed all three members.

It’s funny. The probe began BEFORE Palin was selected by McCain. How is the investigation a political ploy by the Democrats?

Hypocrites are soon going to be exposed! i cant wait for the October surprise! Palin will go down in history and Forget about Palin 2012!

Palin fought corruption in alaska that is why there is a bipartisan effort to get her down.
The One didn’t fight therefore he’s still Chicago’s darling.

Unbelievable. And, we are stupid enough to believe it all… two friends in New Jersey, well educated, believe the “terrorist” label and are voting for McCain. Just goes to show you…

This country is in a mess whoever wins has a huge job not only with the economy, health care …..but we may not even know in my lifetime how long it will take to regain our world standing if ever. We are now the bully on the world stage the only thing worse is the thought of Sara Palin as VP

It’s interesting that neither the article nor any of the comments mentioned the fact that the Trooper at the heart of this investigation was habitually abusive, both physically and emotionally. He clearly behaved in ways counter to what a Police Officer should be. Has no one stopped to consider that the attempts to have him fired might have been legitimate, and were carried out in the light of day?
If a cop were abusing my sister, I’d do everything I could to get him fired and prosecuted. Palin may be inexperienced, and she may not be up to the job–no one knows until it happens. But Troopergate has nothing to do with any of those things.

SO THIS IS THE SPIN OFF. PALIN WILL BLAME IT ON TODD, AND CLAIM SHE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT IT. People, once again, we are seeing the type of coneiving we could end up with for the next 4 years. DON’T let them distract you.

Maybe they would all agree we’ve got bigger fish to fry like energy independence and corporate malpractice on Wall Street. Start conserving now and Go Green

If Obama is palling around with terrorists,” (Ayers)
then
McCain is “palling around with KKK members” (Byrd)
and
McCain is ”palling around with felons who commit fraud that cheat Americans out of billions $ in retirement savings” (Keating)
and Palin is “palling around with America-hating secessionists” (AIP)
Hey McCain, your lame desperate attack tactics work both ways. If Obama is a terrorist, then you and Palin are KKK members, felons who cheat Americans out of their retirement savings, and America-hating secessionists.

Todd Palin, a member of the anarchist group AIP, the tax evasion, the personal email accounts to keep state business secret, the co-governance, keeping Sarah’s pregnany secret, the Brad Hanson wife swapping, all smell more fishy than his failed fishing business. These people are not like Main Street. They make Stevens look like a saint.

Go Sarah!!! We love you and are supporting you here in Kansas!!!

I guess Palin actually *does* have a record of promoting bipartisanship…. it’s inspiring to see how the state Democrats and Republicans are working so closely together on this…

So if McCain wins and croaks as actuaries say, this high school graduate-oil field operator-low-life street thug Todd Palin is gonna run the United States and lead the free world, eh?

It is hard to believe that Todd Palin pushed firing for years without Sarah Palin’s knowledge. A likely story.
Todd is the fall guy.
Sarah is guilt as charged! Guilty of power-of-abuse. She should be impeached.

Re: “In conjunction with this probe, I watched the video that Sarah Palin made for the Alaskan Independence Party convention. There were no folksy sayings or perky winks. she looked and sounded like a governor… I find her words very chilling and disturbing that she condones a group that wants to break up our country, i.e. secede from the United States.” — Teri
Why is this video not being shown and circulated in the media? I have never seen it, and would be very interested in listening to Sarah Palin “unguarded” — that is, what she recently said in public and on the record, and how she recently thought, before she became the VP nominee. Since the McCain/Palin camp is so liberally spreading rumors about Obama’s “poor judgment,” I am surprised that no media organizations are probing Palin’s past history, at least for the sake of balance. If Sarah Palin actually spoke “welcomingly” to a group promoting seceding from the union, this is a far more dangerous character and trust and treason issue than Obama participating in a commission on education reform with Ayers, who is now a respected professor of education. Ayers’ acts as a student protester were decades ago, when Obama was 8 years old! The Alaska secessionist/independence organization is alive and well right now, and Palin’s husband was a member until she became governor. I sure would like to see the video of Palin speaking to this group.

This troopergate investigation was scheduled to be reviewed in court before McCain tapped Palin and being he didn’t even know her or vet her this is his own questionable judgment.
The people of Alaska deserve to have this investigation continue w/o the McCain camp interfering in their state business. Palin’s brother in law is no angel, but Sarah’s questionable judgment in using her position to fulfill a personal conflict were an obvious abuse of power & position on the tax payers record, time, and money.

It is nice to hear that chivalry is not dead, the proof being that the “first dude” is apparently willing to fall on his sword for his lady. It would have been a lot nicer if it didn’t feel like just another dishonest, manipulative strategy decided upon by the McCain/Palin campaign in an attempt to dodge responsibility for bad behavior. What it feels like may or may not be accurate, but based on the performances from the McCain/Palin camp, for this registered NC voter, that’s how it looks and feels.
Oh, and let me make one thing perfectly clear. No pundit, no member of the Obama camp, no elitist, no latte-sipping lefty, and certainly, none of those dastardly evil-doers in the liberal media have formed my now very strong opinions in this election. The words of each of the candidates themselves have served to form my opinions and decisions.
Where honesty and integrity are concerned, I initially held such high hopes for this presidential election. Senators Obama and Biden have not yet let me down – Senator McCain and Governor Palin have dropped me off a cliff.

MutherBear,
At least you’re not running off the cliff like the other lemmings…there’s some consolation there, right?
Keep asking questions and pursuing the truth.

Concerned,
I am an American citizen. It is my obligation to make my decisions about our leadership in the most informed manner possible. Isn’t that true of ALL American citizens??? I just presumed it was.
I fact-check a great deal and question everything. If anything, I’m actually harder on the candidate who’s got my better attention than the one who does not. It’s kind of like what I would say to my kids….”I don’t care if little Johnny is allowed to (ok, I’ll use it) jump off a cliff…YOU’RE NOT!” One of my big problems this time around is the abject arrogance of a campaign that tells me, “We’re only gonna let you hear us say what we want to say – we’re not taking any unapproved questions.” I’m not sure I’ll ever be willing to cast my vote based on choreography and scripting only.
This election is pretty much a done-deal for me. One guy has consistently conducted himself with integrity and stayed on point. One guy has not. Burt Reynolds had a line in “The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas” that went something like “I know when somebody’s peeing on my boots and telling me it’s a thunderstorm.” I won’t be breaking out the umbrella any time soon for the McCain/Palin Ayers “thunderstorm.”
Oh, and if you don’t mind, I do need to say one more thing. Those lemmings? They are American citizens (presumably), too, and, as passionately as I disagree with many of them, I would defend their right to disagree with me. I just hope I live to see that day that the favor would be returned.
Thoughtfully, Curiously, Sincerely & Respectfully

Obama and Osama BinLaden BOTH have ” Friends” who attacked the Pentagon. Anyone who votes Obama needs their head examined.

Palin destroyed Biden in the debate. Especially to those of us who are educated and know Biden lied about kicking Hezzbollah out of Lebanon ( Easily checked fact) And his claim that Article 1 refers to the executive branch. For a US Senator of 36 years to make those ignorant statemnents I was embarrassed as an American..

Isn’t the new law of the land guilty by Association? Then she is guilty as charged.

I disagree with the statement that “Sarah appointed the guy and had the right to unappoint him — for any reason whatsoever. ”
A good comparative example is the President appointing a supreme court justice. He does not have the authority to unappoint them for any reason whatsoever.
Also the comment about the Palin/Biden debate and referring to the constitutional authority of the VP, Biden was correct when stating what the VP’s role should be while Palin sounded ignorant.
Both of these arguments are a breakdown in the separation of powers in our govt. This is a problem the Bush admin had problems with.

The world is facing an economic meltdown.. There are over 400 trillion dollars in derivatives on the market that were building financial leverage up to this day.. Out of all the Investment Banks in the US, only two independents are left, the others were looted by private equity firms from overseas who orchestrated the largest sell off of American businesses the world has ever seen, and then quietly took their profits, equity ownerships, and money and went home. We are left to try to fix the mess…and still, people argue about which of the politicos is the better candidate. Either our system works, and both candidates are good presidential candidates fairly representative of Americans as a whole, or our system is broken and fully half the country can’t trust the other half. Partisan politics doesn’t work because you only have two sides of the same coin. If he says go left, the other says go right.. All of you are arguing over going left or right.. Keep it up, forget that we are all Americans and in this together, and guess what..nothing gets solved, nothing gets addressed because you keep arguing and no one is watching where the country and its policies are going in terms of world opinion.. Why do you think the overseas private equity firms bought us out lock stock and barrel …it wasn’t just that they are as greedy as us, it was that they understand that the only way to get America out of other peoples countries and business, is to destabilize us at home. Guess what, they won, its done and over with, the American dollar is worthless, the stock market and US businesses are a wreck, and gee..our politicians are arguing over going left or right. Prejudice and greed are blinding in their ability to blind people to the obvious, and while no one was looking at the real issues, we lost.
Same thing we’ve done to countless other countries over the years…now someone did it to us.. The real question is, was it a consortium of foreign private equity firms, or were those controlled by actual countries, like our global enemies? We’ll never know, because none of you are looking or reading the financials and following the trails to get and demand real answers.. Yes, we were greedy, but who was supplying the capital behind it all and to what aim? Now those are interesting questions…Politicans, in a two party controlled system are all the same..

long affair could have been avoided if she fessed up 2 months ago about abusing her power. She demanded an ethics investigation of herself and is currently it is being done- she will LOOK pretty bad when it is done and it also has punishment lined up for her and her “gang” who refused to testify- they would have been better off by far by owning up at the very begining

Its so funny to read liberals cry foul about Troopergate when they’ve got much larger cowpies in their own backyard: to wit: BO’s leftist cousin Odinga, Wm Ayers, Tony Rezko, Rev. Wright, Khalid al-Mansour, Bernadine Dohrn, BirthCertificategate, etc etc.
You make me smile with your silliness.
