Sarah Palin = Power Abuser
Filed under: Politik > Sarah Palin
Someone's looking like a hypocrite!
According to reports, a bipartisan committee of Alaska legislators (so, BOTH Republicans AND Democrats) voted 12-0 on Friday to release a report that revealed Veep candidate and current Alaskan governor Sarah Palin violated state ethics law "by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper."
Here it is in a nutshell:
Even before Sexy Sarah was nominated to be the Republican Veep candidate, an inquiry was kicked off to look into her dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, who said he lost his job because he resisted pressure to fire her ex-brother-in-law.
Sexy Sarah has said Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute.
Well, the report released on Friday said two important things. First, Monegan's firing was lawful. But, the pressure Palin and her husband put on him, was not.
You, like us, may be wondering what the heck does her husband, a non-elected, unofficial player have to do with this?
Well, check this out!
The report notes a few instances in which Sexy Sarah pressed the case against trooper Mike Wooten, but it was her husband, Todd, who led the charge to get 'em.
Todd Palin had extraordinary access to the governor's office and her closest advisers and he used that access to try to get Wooten fired. Sexy Sarah knowingly "permitted Todd to use the Governor's office and the resources of the Governor's office, including access to state employees, to continue to contact subordinate state employees in an effort to find some way to get Trooper Wooten fired".
Hmmmm. Using public office to advance a family vendetta?
And, allowing a family member to use tax payer supported resources to do so?
It seems more crony than maverick to us!
Not right, don't you think?
Scary thing is, during the Veep debate, Sexy Sarah said that she wanted to (unconstitutionally?!) EXPAND the powers of the Veep office should she be allowed in there.
Imagine that!

oh my god, who the fuck cares anyway. i find it amazing how everyone is still talking about this. just LET IT GO! the truth is they wouldn't still be harboring on this if they didn't feel threatened by her
Re: gretch84 – …and no doubt you think Palin's attmpted smear of Obama for an alleged connection back when he was 8 years old is relevant.
.
It's interesting to see how the Paliniacs who jump to her defense are blindly judging her ex-brother in law without reading the evidence or his and other witnesses side of the story.
Re: gretch84 – You're absolutely right!! I don't care about the VP candidate who, if McCain is elected, may become the President of the United States. You're right: "who teh fuck cares" get over it. I just got my new iPod and an implant upgrade from a C cup to a D and I just think all of this truthiness is just like nonsense like.

Re: zach – THE CONNECTION WAS IN 1995 WAS BARACK OBAMA 8 THEN??? IF SO…HE CAN'T FUCKING RUN FOR OFFICE…

AS FOR GOVERNOR PALIN SHE WAS IN FACT EXONERATED OF WRONGDOING…BUT BECAUSE SHE WAS "INVESTIGATED" AND THERE WAS A "POSSIBLE" ETHICS QUESTION…DAILY KOS AND HUFFINGTON POST JUST DECIDED TO BLINDLY JUMP ON IT.
Are we really surprised by this? I mean the only reason why it isn't "unlawful" is because there was no MONETARY gain the actions of the Palins but come on, the vendetta was a/b vengeance NOT finances. Yes her Bro in law is an asshole but to sit there as a holier than thou Christian w/ that do as I say not as I do attitude is hypocritical and sickening. And for those that like to say Barack hung w/ Terrorists I say to you the Palins are FAR WORSE for they wanted to secede from this union and have Alaska as an Independent state. BTW guess who was funding this radical group to put forthe their request in front of the UN…. IRAN! Google Joe Vogler the founder of this group and learn something a/b the Alaskan Independence Party sponsored by none other than Iran and supported by the Palins and if you think b/c they mysteriously lost Sarah's membership papers that she wsn't apart of that group, You're more brainwashed than most. Enjoy the youtube video of her telling the AIP they are doing a wonderful job and to keep up the good work…. yet Barack is supposed to be the UN American WHATEVER!!!youtubeDOTcom SLASHwatch?v=ZwvPNXYrIyI * ADD the dubya dubya dubya BEFORE utubez etc.
Re: arrora –
Yeah, so keeping Rod Parsley, Pastor Hagee, Keating and Cindy's pappy around is very understandable right? Love your measure of a man summation. As for Ayers not justifying his actions but he was never even prosecuted to begin w/ and has been inactive for 40 years. Meanwhile Palin did abuse her power and her and her husband wanted to secede from this great country so spin all you want on Ayers and Rev. Wright for that matter.
Re: MINXLIVES – DON'T BE TOO HARD ON ARRORA…SHE'S OBVIOUSLY JUST ONE OF THE FAITHFUL "SHEEP" BELIEVING ONLY WHAT SHE'S TOLD BY THE LEADERS OF HER TRAGICALLY MISGUIDED AND MANIPULATING RELIGEON….EVERY FACT SHE'S TRIED TO USE ON THESE THREADS IS NOTHING MORE THAN RIGHT WING PROPOGANDA SPEWED FROM SELF RIGHTEOUS CHARLATANS IN "KRISTIAN" PULPITS AROUND THE COUNTRY….THESE SHEEP AND THEIR JUDGEMENTALLY CONSERVATIVE CHURCHES (WHICH WOULD MAKE JESUS GAG IF HE WERE ALIVE TODAY BTW) DO NOT REPRESENT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS…AND THEY'RE HEADED FOR A HUGE WAKE UP CALL COME NOVEMBER….SO TAKE PITY ON POOR ARRRORA, AS SHE IS NOT CAPABLE OF INDEPENDENT THOUGHT.
You all realize this man shot a child with a taser?
dat hot hubby runs the show
we all know that
It just shows you how white trash the Palins are ,I mean this low-life was her sisters husband and im not sure for how long but I believe a long time and they had kids together. Who marries such trash, Sarah Palins sister does,they are all radical white trash that are very backwards,scary and fundamentalist radicals.
whatupperez1 [322] says: You really shot down that suggestion I made that you are foolish with your most recent statement. Way to elaborate your point! I'd be happy to discuss anything with GA_Dawgette. Both articulate and intelligent. You know anything about that uraPIGperez?
———————————————-
OMG ~ COULD I BE MORE FUCKING CLEAR? ARE YOU JUST AVOIDING THE QUESTION, OR ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THAT FUCKING CLUELESS? THE QUESTION IS…HOW CAN YOU JUSTIFY THAT SARAH PALIN IS COMPETENT WITH HER TITLE, WHEN SHE RECOMMENDED THE TROOPER FOR THE JOB?
———————————————-
Only one of two things could have happened ~ either she was stupid or corrupt. Neither quality is a good characteristic for VP.
———————————————-
———————————————-
AND ANSWER THIS QUESTION ~ IF WILLIAM AYERS WAS SUCH A MAJOR THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY ~ WHY DID THE GOVERNMENT GIVE HIM A TEACHING LICENSE?

arrora [408] says stupid stuff

Fuck you, Bitch. AMERICANS ARE TERRORISTS. Your own U.S. State Department defines Terrorism as: "pre-meditated, politically-motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatant targets". To the [1.5 million] Iraqi children and babies that died from "pre-meditated, politically-motivated violence perpetrated against these non-combatant targets by the United States; by your own definition, Americans are terrorists.
—————————————————————
arrora [410] - You should seriously keep your mouth shut, because you don't have a fucking clue. Go and read this and then tell me what the fuck you think McCain has to offer to the people of America.

Jann Wenner is a douche.
All you fucking losers crack me up! I am here to tell you that as much as you dont want to accept it, Obama the Muslim loses this election. When Americans go to the booth they will not elect a person who has not done anything with his life other than hang with radicals who are hell bent on america's destruction. Obama is a muslim, black man who hangs out with domestic terrorists and gets his marching orders from an American hating preacher. I cant wait to see all you inbred fucks weaping the day after the election cause this Boy aint gonna make it and yes it is because of his associations and his dumb ass wife who quite honestly has programed her dumbass husband. Hooope, Chaaange, Yeeeees weeeeee caaaaan! Whatever you people are fucking RETARDS….
Oh I forgot, I sincerely hope that this fat fag perez gets caught walking down the wrong alley some night and gets gang raped by some big black brothers tell his ass hole explodes and he has to pick up his own intestines and carry them to the hospital so they can shovel them back in to his fat baby raping ass!!! Go die fuckers
for those defending sarah's actions as justified, the palins claim that the trooper was abusive and that he tasered his stepson. why didnt the mother call the police and have him arrested. i guess it was okay while she was married to him, only when their relationship ended was any complaints made. palin getting him fired was a revenge move, because she hated him. if my son got tasered by my husband i would have definetely had pressed charges against him. none of that pullings strings was needed.
A great clip right now on YouTube is "John McCain v. John McCain" - talk about double-speak . . . Also, "The Real McCain - Parts 1 & 2" - factual information that is disturbing.

Obama '08.

Please vote with your head and your heart - not with hatred.
Unfortunate, yes… but doesn't QUITE compare to having a relationship (of any kind) with a terrorist. Obama still has the lead on shadiness.
lol wtfs her problem? shes so weird
Re: arrora – Sorry Honey but you are wrong on this…please check your facts again…Sarah Palin Found Guilty of Ethics Violation and ABUSE of power!
