OMG. Palin has no brain.

Never - ever - have I heard more a vacuous, vapid response to a question from a major candidate for public office:

Please, people. Please. You cannot put this bimbo in the White House.

Honestly, I kinda wish Biden were running for president with Obama as his VP.
Don't get me wrong.
Clearly, death knows no age, but most of us are not picking out our gravesite plots and setting up arrangements with a funeral director in our 40s, while many, many 70-somethings are doing exactly that.
>>> Partisan attack? So, the Judge is partisan too?
Senator Hollis French, Project Director of the investigation and Senator Kim Elton, chairman of the council conducting the investigation are Obama supporters. Steve Branchflower, a former colleague of Walt Monegan, was appointed by Elton as lead investigator of the investigation.
Prior to the investigation, French has already made predictions of an "October surprise" and made references to "impeaching" the Governor.
Sure sounds like a fair and unbiased investigation.
>>> Sounds like "the moderator is biased" bit from yesterday. LOL But, if I were you, I'd use that excuse too.
She was biased.
>>> It really doesn't matter anyway. McCain is going to lose and what happens to Palin back up in Mooseland is no big deal to me. She will be an unpleasant, distant memory.
I don't see how our new Vice President will be a distant memory...unless, of course, you're planning to move to another country when she wins. LOL!

>>> I think that if she was pressuring Monegan to fire Wooten, she abused her power.
If she had personal knowledge of illegal actions...including death threats...perpetrated by a police officer, it would have been her personal and professional duty to bring that information to the attention of his superiors and to do everything she could to see that he was removed from duty so that he was no longer a threat to the people he threatened or to the citizens of Wasilla. And from what I've read, Palin and her husband did express their concerns as citizens, but she never used the authority of her office to tell Monegan to fire Wootan.
>>> I understand that there may be something to be sympathetic about, but Wooten contends that most of the complaints her family made about him were untrue.
In four of the charges Wooten was found to have "violated policy or broke the law or both"...including having made a death threat.
>>> Wooten had already been suspended as a disciplinary action after an investigation of the multiple complaints that Palin's family made.
If a cop threatened you and your family, I'm sure that you'd be more than satisfied with a 5-day suspension.
>>> Palin had already seen to it that Wooten was investigated and punished, so I'm not sure why she felt that he had to be fired.
Perhaps they felt that threats like..."If your dad helps you through this divorce he's gonna, he's gonna eat an F'n lead bullet."...and..."I'm gonna take your sister down. I'm gonna ruin your family. know people in all the right places, in high places. I know judges. I know attorneys. I have relationships with these guys. You guys are all going down."...warranted more than a 5-day suspension. They also might have felt that it was best that a guy who was threatening to shoot her father and use the influence of his "office" not be a policeman with a gun. It's really not much of a stretch.
>>> Either way, Palin's husband and members of her staff have defied those subpoenas for some odd reason. Just the refusal to participate in the legislative investigation makes it look like Palin had something to hide.
Considering the partisanship of the investigators, I think they're refusal is completely understandable so close to the election. I'm sure if someone popped out of the woodwork and wanted to sue Obama, you'd probably think it was a good idea for him to put off responding to it until after the election.

>>> Wooten had already been investigated and disciplined for all those things. Palin was interested in further punishing him, and it appears that her husband and her staff may have been pressuring Monegan to exact that additional punishment.
If all he received was a 5-day suspension then I can understand why they would feel that further action should be taken. A police officer intimidating people and making death threats isn't something that should be taken lightly. As for allegations of "pressuring"...that remains to be seen.
((Second, if you were in Palin's shoes, and a policeman had tried to intimidate your family and made death threats against your loved ones (not to mention being privy to his many other offenses and his negative character in general), wouldn't you ardently complain to his superiors?...and probably try to get him fired?))
Some day soon, apologists for McCain and Palin ought to take a deep breath and wonder why they are constantly blaming the media, the moderator and whoever else for the words, ideas that are coming directly from the mouths of these two candidates.
These events that prompt this supposed "bias" because they were reported happened.
