Palin

I will now not make my decision until November, which means all you poor people have to put up with me until then.

Grandma is so sick of the election nonsense that she's already voted via absentee ballot! :roll:

It was his radio show. I am glad I didn't have to see it!

He was probably sitting there in his underwear with a cig in his hand

I can summarize Glenn Beck. He's an ass, and I'm not talking about being a Democrat (donkey).

A cigarette is probably about the size of it yes. Glen Beck is a buffoon.

As a female non-partisan voter, who is at ease in a dress or jeans, the emerging story below gives me more than due cause not to cast a vote for any ticket Palin is on. How can one be trusted to uphold the law, when they themselves avoid it?

Palin Refuses to Testify


It didn't take long. We've already brought you news of the official investigation into Gov. Palin's firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. Steve Branchflower, the lead investigator, began trying to arrange a deposition of the governor days before her veep selection. And despite claiming executive privilege to shield requested emails, up until that point Palin had promised full cooperation with the probe.
Now, however, she is refusing to submit to questioning by Branchflower unless he and the legislative committee that appointed him agree to relinquish control of the investigation and turn it over to a state review board made up of three Palin appointees.
Yesterday, Palin took the unusual step of having her lawyer, Thomas van Flein, file an ethics complaint against her with the state's Attorney General. This, she hopes, will lead the AG to give the investigation to the aforementioned state personnel board. Unless that happens, and Branchflower agrees to close down his investigation, she will refuse to testify.:nono1:

I find the whole "troopergate" story fascinating, and a very good example of how the press is incapable of telling the news and not picking sides in politics. Has anyone read an article or seen a story where the details of troopergate are exposed? I haven't, but I have picked up snippets. Some supposed facts -

1) Todd Palin was the one who first brought the actions of this trooper up to authorities, including providing a great deal of evidience that the trooper had broken the law.
2) Sarah Palin never asked that the trooper be fired, but she did use him as an example in communications with authorities as to why there were issues in the police force.
3) The trooper is rumored to have shot and killed wild animals without a license, drank on the job, and threatened the life of some of Palin's family.

I'd just once like to see an honest, full account of what transpired. It seems though the media is incapable of doing its job. They've mentioned troopergate a 1000 times, but never actually explained what troopergate is! It's crazy!

He used to have a local show here in Tampa before he went national, and he was much more even-handed back then. Now he's just a whack job.

(did I say that out loud?)

...conservative porn? That would be a right wing oxymoron if ever I saw one!

Oh, I don't know. Isn't lack of redeeming social value a feature of porn?

 

[Smiling JOe]

A state trooper threatening the life of a person should be fired immediately, arrested and thrown in jail. Add tazering a ten year old, and I don't understand the questioning on the trooper-gate.

Like you did when you failed to mention that this all transpired while the trooper was going through an ugly divorce w/ Palin's sister? :roll:
