I have not seen the exact scope of the investigation.Have you? I am content to read the report after the facts have been gathered and reported. Obama and Biden cannot win a mud fight with McCain and Palin and they would be well advised not to try.

 

"It's likely to be damaging to the Governor's administration," said Senator Hollis French, a Democrat, appointed the project manager for a bi-partisan State Senate Legislative Counsel Committee investigation of claims that Palin abused her office to get the Alaska public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, fired.

I read this as there being an actual investigation into abuse of power. Am I misreading it?

I gave you 3 answers. You just didn't like any of them.

 

 

No, LBBC, you did not answer the question. I asked if found guilty it would refute her claim as being the champion of ethics and you give me your daily speech about abortion , Gustav, and Monica Lewinsky.

 

Just say you don't want to answer the question or simply move on and let Aces and I debate.

Do you believe that if the outcomes of the investigation totally exhonerate Palin, that there will be media and Democrats who won't buy it?

 

 

I believe the following:

 

The sky is blue.

 

The Reds will never be good.

 

UK football is a joy to watch.

 

Monica Lewinsky was ugly.

 

John McCain is an honorable man.

 

 

How about them apples?

No, you are reading the Democrat's and ABC's characterization of the investigation perfectly. What you have not done is backed up the allegations that you made in your very first post that stated as a matter of fact that Palin personally appealed to Monegan repeatedly. Apparently it never happened. Do you have a post to the blog from which you found that fabrication?

Some people will feel she did it no matter the outcome.

Some people will feel she was right to do what she did regardless on the outcome.

Some people will feel she did nothing wrong no matter the outcome.

Some people will feel she is just short of the Antichrist no matter the outcome.

Some people will feel that what you said.

Some won't give a diddly squat about it.

 

Sorry, but that is the reality of it.

I believe the following:

 

The sky is blue.The sky out my window is not presently blue

 

The Reds will never be good.If the Cubs can be good and the Red Sox can win the, okay, I agree Reds will never be good. But that is okay because we can watch Ocho Cinco.

 

UK football is a joy to watch.When they are destroying UL. Won't be so pretty in the SEC that has some real football teams not like the Big LEAST

 

Monica Lewinsky was ugly.I thought she was cute.

 

John McCain is an honorable man.An American Hero.

 

 

How about them applesI like oranges.:p?

 

...

I am saying that you detailed events in your first post that were pure fabrication and attributed it to a blog to which you have not linked. I would like to see the source of the false information for myself. I may want to post a comment to the author.

How about the Washington Post?

 

In January 2007, Palin's husband, Todd, a commercial fisherman, oil company worker and champion snowmobile racer who was now first gentleman of Alaska, invited Monegan to the governor's office. Todd Palin asked Monegan to look into the Wooten matter. Monegan did and later told Todd there was nothing he could do because the matter was closed.

 

Monegan told The Washington Post that Palin called him a few days later on his cellphone, and that he told her the same thing. She brought it up again in February 2007 in the state capitol building and Monegan warned her to stay at arm's length.

 

Monegan said Palin mostly backed off, but kept raising the matter indirectly through e-mails.

Let me guess? Liberal? Agenda driven?

Not sure on this, so someone will need to check, but wasn't Monegan part of the Republican cronies that Palin was driving out.

 

I could be wrong there and getting all the names mixed up.

Monegan was fired for "differences" regarding the department.

She had also offered him another position and he turned it down. Then he was dismissed.

Thanks. After reading the article, it sounds even more like much ado about nothing. Palin did not ask for Wooten's dismissal and she had the constitutional right to fire Monegan at will. As for violating Wooten's privacy, the man was Palin's former brother-in-law. It will be hard to make a case that whatever information was discussed came from his personnel file versus the Palin family and friends first hand knowledge of the creep.

 

I hope that the Obama campaign tries to make this investigation a big issue. If my brother-in-law had threatened to blow my father's head off and done the other things that Wooten is accused of doing, I would be asking some questions too.

I agree with you if its determined that the only thing the Governor was doing was asking for updates or what could be done.

You know there are some who still claim that Monica was a right wing conspiracy sent to tempt Bill into doing what he did.
There was a right-wing conspiracy with Monicagate, but it was after the fact ... Linda Tripp set it in motion, making sure that those who had axes to grind with Bill Clinton got the information.
