Comments for Palin won't release 1100 e-mails »
Posted By Wil 1 year, 3 months ago in NewsThe Palin administration won't release hundreds of emails from her office, claiming they cover confidential policy matters. Then why do the subject lines refer to a political foe, a journalist, and non-policy topics?

It has been illegal to destroy e-mails or any other govt documentation unless for national security means for over a decade. By law the e-mails have to be backed up.
Reply
But the Bushies deleted millions of e-mails, both originals and backups.
Why reward this kind of behavior with four more years?

I guess if you have to investigate something they were involved in yes that would make sense. However as usual the REPUBLICANS here seem to want to divert attention. SO it has to be assumed shes hiding something since the emails were asked for as part of an investigation into corruption and malfeasance BY PALIN.

They are private until you are being investigated then they are public property. She should release them at once! But I am sure they are doing their best to delete the evidence that she was behind the firing of her brother in law! And the other guy before they release them!

Have you looked at the brotherinlaw's record. If he had not been given improper passes by his superiors he would have been caned long ago. He drove the state cruiser drunk and was cought. Under the table it went. His superior should have been caned for the cover up.

"I certainly am not a Palin fan, but hey...email is personal and private so why should anyone be able to look at it?"

They're state governmental records and as such are part of the Public Record.
I'm guessing they'll be 'lost' like the millions of emails the White House 'lost' surrounding the dates of investigations.-

Her personal email, from her personal account should remain private. But what she does while she is a tax-payer-funded office, on a tax-payer-funded computer, using tax-payer funded computers and servers, should be disclosed to the tax payers.

If they were a matter of national security, that's one thing, but somehow I doubt that is the case.-

If it were a matter of national security, she shouldn't have been using Yahoo mail (to obviously keep control over her public email records) and she shouldn't have been copying emails to her husband who's not even any sort of public employee.

Actually Palin has a record of using municipal and government infrastructure, including computers, to support GOP political campaigns. Indeed, Palin's Attorney General recently came up with the novel idea that the use of state resources by "state employees" (read political appointees) should not be subject to investigation for wrongdoing. One more example of abuse of political power.

Simple just like when you work for a company any private emails that you send are open to the company to examine. Your using their equipment. The same applies here she was sending emails using government equipment, it should be open for viewing., especially in cases of wrongdoing. As the REPUBLICANS loved to say, whats she got to hide?

Email written on the job is not private. If she was on the job, using puplic equipment, and accessing a public provided server; it's not private e-mail anymore. If I want it private I definitely would not send it through a work place service and at every job I've held at some point you are given notice that your e-mail are the company's property. Now, if she's writing and sending though a government service then they are actually the publics.

Not when you're a public official. Any and everything that a public official does is "public" with a few exceptions. This is the continuation of the Bush Administration through and through. This nation is on the brink of collapse and we are a presidency away from an international incident. We won't have any allies in this world if Mccain/Palin is elected. Mccain is senile and inept.

The ones concerning public matters are not. Considering how 'dramatic' her family is I'm sure there are some that are not for the faint of heart but it looks like she is already cloning herself into another Bush with this executive privilege position.

I totally agree. And the claim that they might be classified is a joke. The cc's to her husband negates any argument claiming confidentiality or classified status. I doubt anything will come from this, since nothing has ever really come from Bush doing the same thing, but its just one more nail in the coffin for those listening and paying attention. Of course they are a matter of public record if they were sent on her office account by order of the Freedom of Information act. The fact that they are trying to hide them makes them so much more conspicuous too. She's proven herself to be a vindictive and spiteful person, both personally and professionally (according to the many different reports I've read quoting those closest to her). Its obvious these emails with subject headings about political foes are the "words from the horses mouth" that the GOP wants desperately to hide from the American public. Why? Because they like the Rovian politics that we've had in this country for the past eight years and don't want it to end. They like the great and growing expanse between us and them. They like being in power while the country flounders because, well, at least they're in power...right?
Reply
In the end, the McCain/Palin ticket is looking less and less original and more and more like Bush/Cheney reincarnated. McCain, like Bush, isn't the smartest guy in the world, yet fairly popular among the middle American, blue collar voters as the guy they can most relate to (or in Bush's case, share a beer with). Palin, like Cheney, has the evil streak that that the GOP really loves. She's not afraid to fight dirty and take no prisoners. She's proven willing to do or say anything to get what she wants. And just like Karl Rove, she'll destroy anyone who even looks like they may cross her. Just look at the wake she's left behind her in Alaska...from the librarian who refused to her censorship order (unsuccessful attempt at firing her, but that was her intention and only stopped by the fact that she underestimated the popularity of the librarian) to the whole trooper-gate scandal. She is the worst of Cheney and Rove combined.
God help us if they actually get elected. I doubt seriously if our country can survive another 4 or more years on the same trajectory. If we don't incite the world to take us out by bullying everyone we can, we'll likely implode from the economic and social divisions that have grown exponentially during the Bush years. -

Yes! If this were Joe Biden who were being subpoenaed by the Legislature in Delaware, and he refused to turn over 1,100 emails, wouldn't the Republicans be incensed if he refused to do so? Governor Palin is under investigation by the Alaska legislature for abuse of her office. The questionable emails are pertinent, relevant, and potentially damaging to her position in Alaska as governor and as VP candidate. She forfeited privacy and bought media scrutiny as soon as she accepted her candidacy.

Of course in welfare queen Alaska (highest per capita earmarks and 12th highest overall dollars) such corruption is probably business as usual.-

That's why she was picked as the presidential candidate. She already has experience in the art of cover-up which would be a continuation of the present policies of the Bush administration. McCain and Palin. Candidates that have nothing to hide but their life history in politics.

Nixon's missing 18 minutes of tape set a president for making "missing" records cause for concern - and for good reason.

Bush's zeal for making government unaccountable wvia super secret dealings has gone a lot further to make this sort of action unappealing.
The more that happens, the more the Republican candidates look line more of the same past seven-plus years. -

Any person running for office needs to count the cost before doing so. Certain issues and communication become public domain--period. Anything you say or write can and will be used against you if possible, and it's a given that you have opponents begging to do exactly that.

He said that it could produce an October surprise for Palin, but didn't say it would be damaging. He said that in the context of requesting her help in the investigation so they could take care of it and get it out of the way so she could deal with running for VP. He is a non-partisan lawmaker and was chosen by a Republican controlled state congress.
Stop whining and encourage her to comply with the LAW.

This Mother Jones article is a series of hints, innuendos and guesses. The mere fact that Palin provided a list of e-mail covered by priviledge demonstrates openness.

All political parties, and politicians in power, have this priviledge. They all use it. This is not a Republican, Bush, or Palin thing, just as it is not a Democrat, Clinton or Obama thing.
The same people who are dismissing her experience are asking for these e-mails. If her experience is so inconsequential, then why the big need to see an inconsequential person's email?-

No, I wasn't. I can only do research. Just like all of us. And I hope McCain's campaign used Google - it's a good place to start, and is a sure sign of technological dexterity. Good for them.
Reply
However, the vetting process involves building a doccier on each candidate (there were 24), and decision matrices that tie philosophical points with viability. From that, a few fall out and a few stand out. As NBC reported, 7 final candidates were interviewed and obviously Palin won. Why and how she won is confidential to the McCain campaign.
BTW, nice name calling. Very mature rhetorical device. Do you also decide arguments with rock, paper, scissors?

this whole mess points to in-fighting among the republican party in alaska. the open records act request was made by a republican in an attempt to find some dirt on Palin.
and guess what, some dirt was found, and the missing emails only make it worse.
now we have charges of illegal political activity, violation of ethics and hiring laws, the attempted ousting of the state chariman of the alaskan GOP...
and then the missing emails. and within those emails, a entire string entitled "racism and the radio" that was blocked from release using executive privilige (sound familiar?)
so why shouldn't this be looked at? there's plenty of suspicious activity here. -

I think most people who insist on this are hypocrites. I'll bet there's not a single one of you that would like to have every email you ever sent in your office to be made public. There has to be some line drawn as to what's public. All this is doing is bringing out the hatchet job and conspiracy fanatics and giving an them excuse to do onto others what they would not want done to them.

I support Palin. She needs to either open her emails or make a compelling case before a judge in order not to. Her only two options are whether to do so voluntarily or to have the investigators go through the necessary steps to compel disclosure, and then once a formal request goes through proper channels, whether or not to challenge it in court.-

OK I can't stand it, have to chime in here. At work, on the job, your e mails are the property of your employer. In Palin's case, that is the people of Alaska. At home, have at it. Slander anyone you want, spend hours on facebook, go to the porn sites. At work, you are stealing from your employer when you do it. It's unethical.
Reply
As 'koranagirl' and 'anschauer01' have both eloquently pointed out, it is already well-established in law and upheld in the courts. What is it that people don't get about that? I have talked to people who display all kinds of righteous indignation about their boss' monitoring of the employees' e mails. Even knowing that to be the case, they still can't stop themselves.
Stop being silly, people, and start asking our public officials to obey the law, regardless of their political affiliation. As all the furor over the stain on the blue dress should have taught us!

she actually supported teh bridge to nowhere. as mayor she raised taxes, increased spending and created a deficit for her town then took off. she loves earmarks. she over-sold natural gas to foreign entities and left her American constiuency in a shortage mode. she's a jesus freak who used tax dollars for religious purposes. she condemns choice then applauds her daughter for making the "right" choice about her pregnancy (thus proving the legitimacy of the pro-choice argument). she's married to a secessionist. her church preaches hate. etc etc etc.

Get your little southern mind on the right track.
Thomas Jefferson was the 2nd President of the United States and was a person dedicated to the democratic ideal.
Jefferson Davis (whom I imagine you are imagining) was the first and only president of the short lived and abrogated confederate states of America and the leader of all secessionists, and very un-USAmerican.

Why do you assume I don't know merely because I know enough to ask the pertinent questions? And remember...any taxes she raised must be offset by the payment of $1,200 to every man, woman, and child in Alaska.

For families like hers, assuming Trig wasn't born yet, that's $7,200. I doubt this is less than was incurred by some piddly increase in sales taxes.

SInce it appears you havent been following the news and missed more of those how exactly is it you can sit there and claim shes a good choice when you appear to be pretty much uninformed. ANd by the way since ALaska has one of the lowest populations of any state in the US it doesnt automatically mean the ratio would be off as you suggest. The dollars it receives should be in line with the population. For it to be one of hte highest means its receiving more then it should, i.e. the bridge to no where

FTA: "'I've known Sarah for years,' says McLeod, who moved to Alaska from New York in 1978. 'When the finger is pointed at somebody else, she's all for accountability. When it's pointing at her, it's different. Sarah Palin was elected on the basis of providing open and honest government. She has failed miserably.'"

So much baggage, so quickly!
That said, time will, I believe, prove Palin to be an empty shoe: much bark, but no substance, to mix several metaphors.
Even as I type this I hear the sound of furious cramming sessions in which P. is being made debate-ready. Let's hope the cramming reveals itself as such.-

October surprise??? sounds like this guy is just waiting till october to try and damage McCain/Palin, if he has something he should push for it now , instead of waiting. The waiting till October just shows that this guy just wants to try and interrrupt the rally of McCain /Palin , and not actually after her for not opening her records, if she does then it should be with the stipulation that ALL of Obama and Bidens records are also opened after all if her records and emails are important when she is running for VIP then Obamas Records are more important since he is running for pres, he needs to discuss why 2 hospitals claim he was born in them and why only him and his mother say he was born in hawaii and all other memebers of their family say he was born in Kenya, and why he didnt file for nationalized citizenship when he turned 18 since his mother gave up US citizenship when she married BHOs father.

The "administration" said they would not release Palin's hundreds of email because mixed amonst all the email are confidential policy matters.
Reply
I am sure Barrack ('my muslim faith") Obama has a few email he would rather keep under wraps too. The library that holds Obama's records potentially involving William Ayers of the Weather Undergound has only released part of the public records. I hear no Libs complaining about that little public record problem as follows: .
"Obama minimized his relationship (with Ayers) by acknowledging only that he knows Ayers. But they have quite a bit more of a connection than that. He's appeared on panels with Ayers, served on a foundation board with him and held a 1995 campaign event at the home of Ayers and his wife, fellow terrorist Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers even gave money to one of his campaigns." See Real Cear Politics article "About Obama's Terrorist Acquaintance" by Steve Chapman.
The problem for the haters is that every time they try to find some little thing to pin on Sarah Palin it gets debunked and McCain gets another vote. Take a deep breath and give it up Neo-libs your just making yourselves miserable.
But, as Oboma said, I'm just "a typical white person" so what I say don't count, right? .-

It may be tired but not speculative. You just want to move on away from the proven fact that Ayers contributed to Oboma and Oboma held an election campaing at Ayers house. That is far from speculative BS. If McCain had held an election campaign at the house of a KKK member and received contributions from the KKK you would be pounding the table and shouting to the rooftop. So you had better come up with something far better than it's tired and speculative as a defense. You need to brush up on some talking points better than that one liner.

The people who making the this big fuss over these e-mails,are generally the privacy nuts.What gives anybody the right to read other peoples mail.I send and,and recieve thousands of e-mails,and unless some law enforcemant agency has a particular charge against me I would not produce them. Has anyone called for Obama's e-mails?No he is beyond reproach.I just might kick up a fuss to see the Obama E-mails,of course by now he's probably deleted,or deep sixed his hard drives.

Let's put the shoe on the other foot! Let's ask for the emails between Obama and AVERY???

Now, are the emails private? Governors, like Presidents, can invoke executive privilege, and she is a sitting Governor, that has work with people in Alaska. Those emails are not for public consumption. It will never happen.-

If those emails are not for public consumption (i.e. classified), why did she send copies of them to her husband? I suppose you would also condone Bush and Cheney sending classified government emails to their wives who are not authorized to view classified documents?

Just a quick note,and this true, my daughter who was about twenty at the time gave me a subscription to Mother Jones.I read one article, and it was so slanted that I sat down on the hearth,and one page at a time I put them in the fireplace.My daughter who didn't know what kind garbage she had given me was very upset.So I told her a story my dad told me.When your walking down the side walk,and you accidentally step in some dog crap don't fret things happen,but if you turn around ,and step in it again it becomes a part of you.

So, WHampton, it appears you're not going to vote for Obama. That is, of course, you're prerogative, as is making contributions to this site.

But your equation of Ayers and the KKK, above, among your other slanders of Obama, is really, really, really pushing it.
So be rational or stop the MO, so brilliantly pioneered and executed by aniokely, of poisoning the debate, OK? -

WOW, right at this minute there are 4 or 5 Propeller news stories about Sara Palin.
Reply
Most of them are bashing her over NOTHING. This tells us something about the Democrats. They are truly scared of losing to McCain and Palin. The Dems are simply grabbing all sorts of crap out of thin air to bash her over. Most all the negative crap the Dems are spewing, they simply have made it all up from NOTHING...
What's really funny is that Sara is more qualified to be the PRESIDENT then Osama Bin Obama is.
She's only running as vice president, but one would think she's running for President by the way the immature Dems and lefty media are acting towards her. They are acting like a bunch of sissy school girls.
By the way...
Right now the Polls say McCain is about 10 points over Osama Bin Obama.-

lol. The truth about Palin continues to pour out and it is all disgusting; abuses of power, corruption, and an addiction to mega-earmarks! Oh, and a continuation of the transfer of wealth from the working class to the idle rich.

Sara Palin learned well from her mentor, Ted Stevens.

Commodore1 - is your oxymoronic term 'nazi liberals' something like 'military intelligence' ???
Reply
If you knew history you wouldn't put those two terms together at all..... but that's the problem with half of the people in this country, who don't bother with history, and then have no idea of why some people are upset about things that are happening now.... you know, patterns being repeated etc. etc.

Emails by a political elected official, especially those done on government computers and thos which concern government or subjects which may indicate misuse of office - are not private. Thus has said numerous Federal courts and the US Supreme Court allowed those rulings to stand. Thus, it is against the law for Palin not to release those emails. Cheney got a spanking from the federal court system for doing the very same thing and was forced to release the emails. Palin is quickly placing herself into the position in which, even if elected to Vice President, she could be impeached for crimes against the courts and federal law. McCain, for his own sake, needs to push Palin into resigning from the race.
