Actually, they'll say she's being picked on for partisan motives, completely ignore that the ruling was unanimous and people from both party's agreed. Then they'll say the panel wasn't legitimate, morons will believe all of that, and nothing will change with die hard right wing kooks.

I'm one of those right wing kooks who knows a con job when I see one. If all of the facts presented are totally true; guilty as charged, so what? Financial gain? No. Personal gain? No. Hmmm. Anyone lose any money? Nada.

None of this raises to the level that the LIBS are guilty of. She did not break any laws. This is just a shame on you. Wow! and this is all the libs can find.
Oh, I'm so embarrassed to admit I like her.
Am I voting for McCain/Palin Nope. Not voting at all. Will not vote again until there is a true conservative. I did not like Palin's answers at the debate. I am a thinking person. Both parties need destroyed. We need an amendment to the Constitution to outlaw parties. As long as we have parties we'll continue to get these liberal weirdos claiming either to not be liberal or claiming to be conservative.-

Can you please explain what you have against a liberal?

Don't you like free and constructive thinking?
As for Palin, well yes, that "power abuse" in Alaska is a small matter. It's wrong, but....... I'm sure a lot (not all) of people (on BOTH sides) may do the same once and a while.
However, if you (like her) always pretend that you are the best, with no faults, a pure Christian, criticizing the others (sometimes without foundation) then you should yourself be blameless.-

traveler, perhaps not anything against liberals, but against the plans of the candidate.

Klarissa has a "minor" obsession with Obama. Whether she gets paid to spend as much time as she does digging up dirt on him (while not ever trying to convince us of what McCain CAN offer us, anyone's guess but she does seem to have a very unhealthy preoccupation with the guy. I have a feeling the Secret Service will need to keep an eye on her. ;-P

From what I read the report by the legislative panel was not unanimous and members urged caution in their interpretation that Ms Palin may have violated ethics law and that it was an opinion only and that no legal action was recommended. Would it be fair to conclude that this is an interpretation by left wing kooks? And of course anyone who does not agree with you is a moron, how incite full. Some would suggest that the fact that the incompetent trooper was not fired was proof of inside influence. And what did Ms. Palin gain again? I missed that part.

the allegation is the firing of not the intended target, but the firing of someone who refused to fire that target for her:
Reply
"The inquiry looked into her dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, who said he lost his job because he resisted pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor's sister."

she said no thats not what i fired him for. Unfortunately for her 10 reps and 4 dems on the board disagreed with her. thats hardly what i would call bi partisan. She got run over by a republican majority board of inquiry. "bless her heart".

The panel agreed she did not do enough to stop her husband from following up on the trooper who was a former brother-in-law. She told him not to do it, according to his testimony. The reassignment itself was not shown to be a problem.
Reply
Sounds like Todd was angry about the threats against the family and the tasering of the child and thought the drunkenness in his cruiser would be enough to put him off the force. In my state, the trooper would have been out for tasering the child.
So it looks like Todd's emotions got the better of him and he didn't listen to the governor. But Gov. Palin didn't come on strong enough to stop him, so it's a breach of ethics for her.-

That is the question I been trying to find the answer to and there is nothing I can find about Todd being appointed to a position to carry out actions for the governor. If he did fire the trooper, he carried out an act that he did not have authority to carry out. so, since Todd didn't have the authority to fire anyone, the ruling that she did not do enough to stop Todd from firing the trooper is a misleading statement.

I've found a clarification of this question in another story.
Reply
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by letting her husband press for the firing of a state trooper, a legislative probe found, while adding that she acted within her authority when she dismissed the state's public safety commissioner.
``Governor Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda,'' said the state legislative investigator's report released yesterday in Anchorage. The report also said Palin's dismissal of the commissioner, Walt Monegan, was a ``proper and lawful exercise'' of her power to fire department heads for any reason.
He didn't fire the trooper but he tried to pressure someone else to do it.

The difference slate is that this is a proven fact and the accusations by Palin that Obama is palling around with terrorist is not. You see, the committee in question is sponsored by a conservative friend of Ronald Reagan with conservative businessmen and conservative activist all setting at the same table with Ayers. So what Palin is doing is accusing all those conservatives and Reagan's friend of palling around with terrorist too.
Reply
The accusation against Obama concerning his pastor flies in the face of ignorance to believe that Obama has been influenced by what a pastor believes but Palin being the recipient of a ceremony to have the witch removed from her is proven by documentation of film.
The accusation that he has advisers that had ties to Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac has been debunked by Snopes.com and others but McCain who now has Rick Davis on his campaign is a proven fact. Rich Davis' firm by the way was being paid by Freddie Mac for work they never performed until last month.-

How many of you truly read the report? It is quite evident this person should not have been an officer any more and Palins firing of Monogen was justified according to the reports. This was just a pure waste of tax payers money.
Reply
There have been to judges who have looked at this on the news last night who felt the ruling was mis represented and there were no ethical issues envolved as there was no real personal or finacial gain.
People will read into this all they want, but when you have people from the police officers own town suggesting he should have been fired long ago, it seems to me that the Palins were correct!-

--*sigh* No one disputes the legality of the firing itself. Palin broke the law when she abused her office to get the guy fired. She was right to fire him but her approach was wrong.
"There have been to judges who have looked at this on the news last night who felt the ruling was mis represented and there were no ethical issues envolved as there was no real personal or finacial gain"
--This argument perplexes me. Of course there was personal gain involved. Palin wanted the guy fired because because she claimed he threatened her family. She wanted to punish her former brother-in-law and get him to back off. That was the personal gain.
