    That's all I should have to say. It's been in the news about how she took actions against republicans.
    State which actions she specifically took against each member of this panel. You have made a serious charge here. Back it up.

    For the second time, she personally benefited by gaining advantage in a personal grudge match.

    For the second time, please substantiate your claim that the panel of four Democrats and ten Republicans were unanimously biased towards finding any small fault with Palin.

    "Because I said so" doesn't count.
    How can I accept that when she had the right to fire him for any reason?

    Notice the report does not recommend any action against her, and it does in fact say she had the right to do as she did.

    I'm wasting no more time on this because there is nothing to defend. It's all in lberal minds which is impossible for me to change.

    She still benefitted personally. Your attempt to move the goalposts doesn't make any difference. The big problem was her having her husband pressure other people in government whan all she had to do was fire the guy.

    Notice the report does not recommend any action against her, and it does in fact say she had the right to do as she did.
    I have already said there will probably be no legal fallout for her -- and that goes against your claims of bias, so thanks for bringing that up.

    I'm wasting no more time on this because there is nothing to defend. It's all in lberal minds which is impossible for me to change.
    So in other words, you were just making up all these charges of bias and now that you were called on them, you are running away.

    The statue say "any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust."

    Getting rid of Monegan beacasue he wouldn't fire Wooten benefitted Palin's personal interest. I agree it's a pretty lame reason, but the whole episode is ridiculously petty. If Wooten was evil incarnate like Palin claims, then the Palins should have gone through the criminal and civil system to address it like everyone else has to.

    I'm actually more concerned about her husband rummaging through private files and questioning government employees. Did he hold any position on the government?

    I'm excited to hear whottt weigh in....

    Typical smear job by the media elite that is threatened by the most charismatic politician since Reagan and Clinton...

    What they don't realize is this is going to massively backfire...

    Voters in the heartland don't take kindly to partisan witchhunts against such a charismatic politician...

    This probably added a point or two to McCain's lead in the polls...

    I'm going to go ahead and say this puts Illinois and possibly even the District of Columbia in play...

    You ing idiots just couldn't help yourselves...

    It's a very lame conclusion considering to say that, they must conclude that Palin didn't have other cause to fire him. She had ligitamate reasons to fire him.

    Take him through the civil system? She had no need to, and he didn't do anything illegal that of know of anyway. She was 100% withing her right to fire someone who has a position that serves at the govorners pleasure. She was not pleased with his job performance.

    It's just that simple.

    Then she should have just fired him without 250 pages worth of shenanigans.

    I'm talking about Wooten, and the Palins have indeed attempted to paint him as a menace to their family. Try to keep up.

    She was 100% withing her right to fire someone who has a position that serves at the govorners pleasure. She was not pleased with his job performance.

    It's just that simple.
    Too bad for you and Palin it isn't. She was stupid and now the headline is "Palin abuses power."

    Now where is all your evidence of the actions that Palin took against easch memeber of the panel that made them all biased against her.

    Or are you "done" again now that you know you have none?

    Nothing happens now. At worst she might get a slap on the wrist from the legislature.

    The damage is political but since they are so far behind, even that doesn't matter much now.

    Thing is, rasonable people don't agree who are the swing voters. I'm going to vote McCain?Palin anyway. I assume if you are old enough to vote, you are going to vote Obama/Biden anyway. It changes nothing, except I see the more unjustified attacks against McCain/Palin as bringing the swing voters towards them.

    Consider how little credibility there is on the attacks against her and McCain. There is at least some pretty fine facts surrounding critism against Obama and Biden.

    This argument against Palin is so weak.

    The unanimous decision of a majority Republican panel in her own state is a pretty fine fact against Palin.

    No it isn't. She couldn't answer simple questions (supreme court case she disagreed with, newspaper she reads). She seems like she's been in Alaska for the past 20 years of her life. Oh wait...She has! She might know Alaska fairly well (though she thinks they produce 20% of the domestic supply of energy when it's actually 3.5%) but she doesn't know about the country and what it takes to run it.

    You could have just ended the post with 'but she doesn't know .'

    True but then it looks like I'm using a cop out. I wanted to at least give a few examples of how little she knows.

    I didn't read that anywhere in the report. It is laced with "I" in so many places. I thought the report was made by the investigator, Stephen Branchflower, for the panel. Please direct me to what page of 263 that validates your claim. Maybe I just haven't got that far yet.

    Sorry, the decision to make the report public was unanimous. Apparently, none of them had a problem with it that they would want it withheld.
