Palin needs to be scrutinized for her abuse of power, but of course McCain would not have this because the corporations than own his vote would not have it.
Look at it, With the 7 major choices in the republicans 10 months ago, mccain is the best? Mccain is the biggest idiot of them all and biggest puppet!
Saddam hussien would have better numbers running for president if MCCain did not have the corporations buying votes and manipulating it for him.
Ben is very simple, Woodward and Bernstein when asked how they broke the Watergate Burglary Crime how they did it. Easy they said follow the money. McCain's big money comes from Big Oil, does Alaska have any thing to do with oil? Obama's big money comes from banking like citibank, bear sterns, etc. So just look it up and figure out who owes who what.
Maybe I am simple in thought, but the simple people of many countries of the past become tired of the overeducated elitists who manipulate life in their benifit.
Examples: France, Russia, and america in the last few hundred years ... yes the simple people got tired of those old money rich and did something about it. Arrogance of the elitists will make history repeat itself once again!
Ben in any form of Gov't Socialism included there are power elite, the few with everything they want. That does not change, the difference in capitalism is that there are many more who have wealth than in socialism. So the wealth is spread more at the top but both still have poor and in republics as opposed socialism revolt is easier to instigate but is never pretty in either case. But you can beat a man down so far he won't even care to live anymore.
its funny how the media ignores the fact that this trooper was drunk on the job, driving under the influence alcohol and threatened the life of palins father. abuse of power!!! I think not.
Hawk since you have direct knowledge and proof of this you should have testified to your direct knowledge. The threats alleged against Wooten were alleged by Palin and her sister, since Palin has been caught in lies before I think her testimony highly suspect.
i'm not saying she hasnt done any thing wrong, but consider this if they crucified some of our elected officials already in office like they're doing to palin maybe we woulndnt be facing problems like the mortagage meltdown the failures of the biggest lenders in this country. I think palin is a beacon of light compared to most dems and reps.
Could be that I have zero tolerance for criminal behavior by any elected official. Maybe it is too much to ask of elected officials to be honest and moral and have some character? The mortgage meltdown was not a problem until the Congress got involved to bail out their buddies with government money for their poor business decisions. But that will all come home to roost one day when the bill to the tax payers someday comes due.
we all should have zero tolerance for criminal behavior of our elected officials. the people are so divided at this point that maybe many many more need to become jobless homeless and pennyless on order for them to realize that we have to stand together as a whole. the stategy of divide and conquer is working pretty good at this point for the reps dems and rich elites.
An interesting thing there is did you know that only 20% of American colonist supported the 1776 revolution to take the Gov't away from England? But I think that with the power and military muscle that the "reps dems and rich elites". weld now to wage war on it's citzens that it would not work today.
Well Barry Goldwater once said and holds true today.
Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed.
Palin has absolute power in Alaska and is not bound by any laws since she owns Alaskans and she can have anything she wants, she never sought election? I don't understand why she just did not fire Wooten herself by executive order, she can do that as governor and no one could stop her. Palin clearly wants absolute power and to answer to one.
No, she doesn't, she has not been able to get away with "everything" like the wolf bounty which judges shot down because it's the hunting & game commision's jurisdiction.
And no, she could not fire Wooten by some "executive order", you know nothing of how a state government works, do you? She has to go through channels.
And no, she's has not sought after "absolute power", that's just propaganda bull, an excuse to hate her.
She didn't break a law, she was found to have been UNETHICAL.
What's more, neither I, nor most of Alaska see what she did as being wrong, nor does anyone else who values their own and their families safty.
So get off your damn high horse, the true bottom line is that you're being a hypocrite, only looking for an excuse to validate what you think of Palin, which is a stretch no matter how you look at it.
She doesn't have full power, and we have several court descisions to prove it.
Well I do value morals and ethics which most Alaskans do not. And Palin is probably at least as ethical as the fictional HBO character Tony Soprano, whom most Americans think of as a wonderful family man, so I guess it is just a matter of how much ethics and morals and law you want. Hey most Alaskans love Sen Ted Stevens too.

And Palin doesn't have it nor seek it, so your point is lost on me.
My family knew Goldwater.. got to say, shutting down the TVA, wasn't a good idea.

The very bottom line is that the investigator on the Palin case found:
Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 2952.110(a)
Question is will she be prosecuted on this or is so high profile that she is above the law?
bigdog49094 3 years ago
She didn't break a law, she was found to have been UNETHICAL.
What's more, neither I, nor most of Alaska see what she did as being wrong, nor does anyone else who values their own and their families safty.

"Well I do value morals and ethics which most Alaskans do not."
You're being an ass, and you know it.
She made an action in trying to protect her family, and tried to get rid of a bad cop, that IS moral, if you don't agree, then you're a hypocrite.
And no, were not loving him too much right now with the ACTUAL scandals surrounding him and "his" money.
Find a real reason to criticize Palin instead of just jumping at whatever you think the media is giving you. Faulty assumptions...
