Palin has more experience than Obama. Obama ran nothing...accomplishment nothing. Perhaps as Democrat henchmen appear in Alaska the same henchmen from the Republicans should begin with Pastor Wright, Pflegger, Ayers etc. Lets connect the dots on his judgment. I cannot recall where a Presidential candidate and his family subjected themselves to hateful sermons or surrounded themselves with terrorists. Guess this must be his experience for Presidency. Judgment is based on experience so how can Obama claim judgment? The man should take his dog and pony show back to Germany for a repeat performance. His liberal entitlement positions at the tax payers is his platform. More government not less. Obama I can take care of myself I do not need you to tax the hard working stiffs to provide me entitlements. Stay out of our pockets.

One last time for the addled of mind. The clown she fired was an "at will" employee. She could fire him for smelling like cool whip if she wanted. To fire him for not firing the Trooper in question is as good an excuse as any. What you need to learn how to spell is F-i-s-h-i-n-g-E-x-p-e-d-e-t-i-o-n. This is the biggest skeleton in her closet? Well that and she employs a speech writer that is not a member of Britian's Labor Party... It's not like she has a son named Hunter who has recieved largess from the banking industry or anything. Before the abuse of power tirade, notice that no one is saying said Trooper did not deserve to be fired. The guy Tasered a Ten-year-old, he should be in Jail.

The Democraps at it again. The only way they know how to win. Tar and feather. When former president Clinton fired all the ass't attorney generals upon taking office, it was his right and what's the problem? Move on. When a Republican does it to a "serves at the will" member of their office, it needs to be investigated. It is just to taint the Governor with an investigation. Of course, the media is there to do their part for the Dems success. Look, if Sarah Palin cleaned house in the Alaska political machine she has enemies that will do anything to get back at her.

Ummmm......If it quacks like a duck; and it walks like a duck; then it must be a duck!!!!! There are obvious skeletons in Gov. Palin's closet. If she and her Republican supporters have nothing to hide, then the obvious thing for her to do is clear up this matter by going on record with her version of the facts. Why feed into the "appearance of have done something wrong"? The best advise for the Governor would be step forward with the facts, and remove this cloud of suspicion from hers and Sen. McCain's candidacy for the highest office in the land. Remember...If it quacks like a duck; and it walks like a duck; then it must be a duck.

I don't blame Sarah palin for not cooperating with the investigation. Perhaps if Obama would also agree to an investigation of his dealings with Rezco or the corrupt Mayor of Detroit Kwame Kilpatrick maybe then she would agree. Someone should ask Obama if he would agree to that.

UH lross126, did you read this part? Since then, it has emerged that the Palins and her staff had contacted Mr. Monegan repeatedly and expressed their dismay at the continued employment of Trooper Mike Wooten, who divorced Mrs. Palin's sister in 2005. The following year, Trooper Wooten was suspended for five days based on complaints filed by the Palins, including that he drank in his patrol car, used a Taser on his 10-year-old stepson and illegally shot a moose. If you are asking why Gov. Palin does not publicly excoriate the Trooper in question it's a simple concept known as class. They have said their piece, she asked a subordinate to take corrective action and he balked. So she fired him. Why is this so hard to comprehend? By the way if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it might very well be a jackass.

Sarah Palin is under attack by her own party in Alaska, but uner the radar. She put them out of office and they are still hurting and would love to damage her. The Dems in AK are working for the Obama campaign, and have turned the investigation in to a partisan undertaking. This is American politics 2008. Perfectly decent human beings being attacked in order for revenge and hopes of defeat in teh next election. This is why decent people usually do not seek public office. If Sarah Palin was acting to protect her sister from a wife beating, child abusing, drunk, I say she is a hero! The liberal empire of the media, Hollywood, and the Democratic party wanted the first woman in history elected Veep to be a Democrat. They will have to settle for the first and second impeached president.

It's very clear to see that the Alaska GOP has been hijacked by the crimminals running the McCain camp,if she has nothing to hide why is she running like a wounded Moose?This women is so dirty she makes Bush look like a saint.If she refuses to corperate with the Investagation ther she should be impeached

Sarah Palin took a page out of the George Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove playbook. She is refusing to cooperate in the "Troopergate' scandal in Alaska. She and McCain are trying to stifle the investigation before election day. If they win, she can put it on the back burner. Rather than hand over emails to an independent counsel that might "clear" her, she opts to give them a batch of nonincriminating emails. Is that taking the 5th via email? Palin said she would cooperate with the investigation before she had a change of mind. You know...like the Bridge to Nowhere. Being selected as McCain's running mate helped her finalize her decision. A take no prisoners mayor and governor in Alaska, Palin hired unqualified friends, and fired qualified employees. Stepping on Missy's toes is a no-no. Like Bush and Cheney, Palin demands loyalty, and she has no problem rewarding employees and friends who evolve into "yes" people. Hiding behind her former Miss Alaska smile, Palin intimidates and bullies anyone who opposes her. Mess with this moose shooting woman and you'll feel the wrath of a tooth-for-a-tooth. Four more years of Bush and Cheney? You can bet grandma's teeth on it.
