Abuse of Power

Bipartisan state investigators concluded Friday that Republican vice president candidate, Governor Sarah Palin abused her power as Alaska governor, and violated state ethics laws.  

It’s clear from reading the report that the investigation found that Sarah Palin’s personal grudge against state trooper Mike Wooten was a contributing factor in the termination of Public Safety Commissioner Walk Monegan.  

I find this interesting since this is about the person who has been making plenty of judgements on character in her speeches to the ignorant masses that attend her rallies.   One has to wonder how packed will her speeches be now.   I don’t say that sarcastically.   I truly wonder if the devoted followers of someone they never heard of until 2 months ago, will pause to consider that they would be supporting a candidate that abuses the power she already has.   Maybe these are the 14% that think everything is good in the country and still support the mad house of Bush/Cheney.

  1. HOW ABOUT WE CALL THIS “ABUSE OF JUDGEMENT”.

    You know, I have sat here for hours trying to come up with a response to the above comment, but words just don’t come to mind. You talk about the ignorant masses that attend Her rallies, Well, If my eyes don,t deceive me, I think just about as many attend rallies of BArack Obama and Joe Biden……

    As far as tha character of Sarah Palin goes, She wears about 3 halos around her head compared to Barack Obama. I have a web site here for you to paste into your browser and get some real truth if you have the stomach for the truth. http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaPolitics.htm

    You probably won’t though. Most Democrats don’t want to know the truth. It takes away their excuses to complain. It reminds me of a herd of ostrichs. They bury their heads in the sand and the only problem with that is, it leaves something else stuck way up in the air. And that seems to be where we all take it………

    If Obama is the kind of character you want in Washington, Then I only have two things to say:
    1. Go ahead and buy your Arabic translation book now and start studying it.
    2. Also study up on the former Soviet Union, because socialism is only about 3 weeks away.

    Good Day

  2. @Charles – I’m surprised to see such racist view points from someone who engaged in such a logical argument on another post. I went to the website you posted and read much of what it had to say. I wish I could say I read all of it, but at a certain point, reading ignorance starts to lower ones’ IQ.

    The site is total crap. Why would I care if Obama was raised by Communists? I was raised around white trash, it doesn’t make me one of them. Although complaining he had communist professors is the best part. Try find a college in this country that doesn’t employ communist professors. Hell, by those standards we would just lock up all my friends who went to Berkley.

    Charles, you and I had a good exchange about intelligent issues. We agreed that both parties are to blame for the current financial fiasco. Phil Gramm initiated the repelling of Glass-Steagall, and Bill Clinton voted for it. Big screw up on both parties. But to say things like people should learn Arabic because his name is Barack Obama, that’s just the type of ignorance we need to get away from in this country.

    And as for being socialist, the Republican party is doing a smashing job of that on their own! Ronald Reagan must be rolling over in his grave when he see how much government George W. has brought into the market. I think the real frustration you may be feeling is that with McCain/Palin, you don’t have a dog in this race. The Republican party put forward a non-conservative, and an idiot as his running mate. They don’t have the balls to put up someone like Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin, and you’re not going to vote for them because you can’t let go of the hatred towards Obama. And that’s why the Republicans will lose. Well, that and the last 8 years of George W. wiping his ass with the constitution, which I think we can both agree with.

    One last thing on the actual subject of the post. Sarah Palin is a liar. I just saw her tell a reporter that she was cleared of anything ethical. I would equate her with Dick Cheney, but at least Cheney would have actually gotten the Wooten fired before he lied about everything. And we haven’t even gone into how flat out ignorant she is. The first chance for McCain to show his own judgement separate from Bush’s, and thats what he does with it.

  3. You know ED, I kind of have to agree with you. But when I come onto a site and see such ignorant comments as above, it,s sometimes hard to keep my mind from wallowing down in the gutters with them. It is OK for people to have different opinions on issues. That is what our Founding Fathers spilled their blood for was to give us the right TO disagree, but to have the guts to sit down and work these things out for the better of everyone. Not all this verbal bashing that goes on in both parties. WE DON’T HAVE THAT ANYMORE. Everyone wants to push their agenda on everyone else and by God I’m right and your opinion stinks. And that goes for both sides of the fence. That is the reason I pulled away form the Republican Party and went Independant. At least there you can have decent conversations about what needs to be done to get back to those principals that this Great Country was founded on. THE CONSTITUTION. Does anybody out there remember that document??????Hello.

    And by the way, It is not because his name is Barack Obama. It is because of his ideas on foreign policy. To want to sit down and negotiate with these people, (terrorist) will be like saying, We are willing to work with you. The first rule in negotiation with someone is, You have to be talking with someone that has some regard for life. They have none.

    And yes, I do see the foundation for socialism comming. When I see Barack Obama talking about needing to spead the wealth around through his tax policies, that is the basic foundation of socialism that Stalin instilled in Russia. IT IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT TO SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND. I work hard for my money. And if you are a dead beat that wants to lay around on the couch all day, then so be it. But when you get hungry, get up off your dead a@*, and go work for it. both parties are doing their fair share of heading down that path.

    People, WAKE UP! Get your heads out of the sand and quit supporting either one of these parties. The writing is on the wall. They want total controll of our life. The more that we support them, The more control we give them. It is not about taxes, it is not about foriegn policy, it is not about health insurance, social security, welfare, or any of these social programs that they talk about. It is about the very survival of this Great Country we have and not letting it slip out from under our feet.

    And you are right Ed, I am just going to have to ignore the ignorance of some people!

  4. I honestly do get where you’re coming from. Even though I support Obama, I do disagree strongly with some of his views. Ideas like “windfall profit taxes” are absurd to me. The idea that we will just tax a company an additional tax at our leisure because they did very well, and we are mad at them? Crazy. So if one day we decide that we don’t like auto makers because they pollute the air, and they turned a profit…so we just tax them until we feel better, and they go out of business? This is why I feel so strongly about Fair Tax. It puts control over taxes back in the hands of the people.

    I am also angry that Barack Obama signed the FISA act. Whatever your politics may be on this, and Greg I’m guessing you are not at all for it, he knew it would be wrong, and he signed it anyway. Obama lost a lot of respect on that because we finally got to see that in the end, he is a politician.

    I can think of other things that bother me about Obama, but my problem is that most people supporting McCain can’t come up with any good reasons against Obama. I’m sure you’ve seen the rallies with racist holding up stuffed monkeys, and people shouting “kill him”. It looks like the only people McCain has to talk to anymore are the ignorant.

    I’m not saying that Obama doesn’t have his fair share of ignorant followers. He has become a rock star to the kids today. I think that’s good and bad. More kids are interested, but they may be following someone (even if the right person) for the wrong reasons. If we have learned anything in history, it’s that following politicians blindly doesn’t lead anywhere good.

    But one policy issue where I do disagree with you is on more diplomacy with foreign leaders. I think different times calls for different tactics. When Reagan dealt with the Soviet Union, he used the right amount of “cowboy diplomacy” for the situation. This is a different time, and George W. Bush is no Ronald Reagan.

    I don’t agree with Bill Clinton either. I’m still blown away that the world gave Yasser Arafat the Noble Peace Prize. Peace in the Middle East is simply not possible at this time, and nothing we do is going to change that. We should simply not be involved.

    That being said, diplomacy, even with countries we consider threats like North Korea and Iran, makes sense to me. Maybe it’s just the “keep your friends close, and your enemies closer” thing, but I think right now, in this world, we need to be more diplomatic than any other country.

    I’m going to go out on a limb with an assumption based on who you support for president and say that you don’t support our occupation of Iraq, and you don’t support any military action against anyone who is not a direct threat to our national security, or if we are part of a United Nations effort. And I would agree with that. We should not be engaging in wars against countries like Iraq, unless we are part of a bigger U.N. effort. If we felt Iraq, or we feel Iran, is a threat to the world, we need to make that case to the U.N., and the best way to do that is to exhaust every diplomatic means possible. We need the world to support or foreign policy decisions again, and the best way to do that is to be known as the leader in diplomacy. Then when we say we must fight, we will have the world behind us.

  5. admin There is a lot of proof that Obama is a muslim. He spent 4 years training with jihad. you need to read your bible if you even own 1. It talks all about Barack Hussain Obama!!!

  6. @Sarah – Wow, people like you read my blog? Looking at the polls, you may want to get ready for end of days, or whatever you think is going to happen.

  7. Wow, so much tension on this post. It seems like a simple post to me. It just says that the invesitagion showed that Sarah Palin abused her power by bugging the guy about firing her former brother in-law. It’s clear that she did, and now she is lying about it.

    So Sarah Palin is a liar.
