^ Dunno, Tex, Alot of women and men hate her.
This is looking grimmer by the day. If the latest details coming out are true, then Sarah comes across as a vindictive b*tch- and not limited by any legal or ethical considerations. Add that to her loony faith, and I think her America's sweetheart days may be numbered.
firstly-
JUNEAU, Alaska—A union representing state troopers in Alaska has called for a probe into alleged workers compensation-related ethics violations by Gov. Sarah Palin’s office and the state’s director of risk management.
According to a letter of complaint by the union, Brad Thompson, director of Alaska’s Department of Administration Division of Risk Management, may have improperly shared information with an official in the governor’s office about a workers comp claim filed by a trooper who is Gov. Palin’s former brother-in-law.
Allegations that the governor abused her public office by attempting to have trooper Mike Wooten fired have been dubbed “Troopergate” and have drawn international attention since Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., named Gov. Palin as his running mate at the Republican National Convention earlier this month.
Alaska’s Legislature is conducting a separate probe into allegations the governor attempted to pressure a former safety commissioner to fire Mr. Wooten, who was involved in a divorce with the governor’s sister.

Judge warned Palin in 2005 to back off brother-in-law's job
(CNN) -- An Alaska judge warned Gov. Sarah Palin's family against trying to get her then-brother-in-law fired, according to court records.
That warning came long before the controversy over her dismissal of the brother-in-law's boss, the state's public safety commissioner, records show.
Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, is battling allegations she and her advisers pressured Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan to fire her sister's husband, State Trooper Mike Wooten.
Palin's sister, Molly McCann, and Wooten were in the process of getting a divorce when the judge hearing the couple's case said McCann's family appeared to be putting Wooten's job at risk at a time when he would be required to pay child support.
"It appears for the world that Ms. McCann and her family have decided to take after the guy's livelihood, that whatever who did what to whom has overridden good judgment," Superior Court Judge John Suddock said during an October 2005 hearing. "Aesop told us not to slay the goose that lays the golden egg. For whatever reason, people are trying to slay the goose here, and it tends to diminish his earning capacity."...
Wooten's union representative testified that the trooper was the subject of a "constant stream" of complaints from his ex-wife's family. "If things don't change, Mike's career is in jeopardy," the union rep said.
"My advice to Mike was to find another job," said John Cyr, now executive director of the Public Safety Employees Association. "I think he needs, career-wise, to look for work elsewhere." ...
Palin originally pledged to cooperate with the investigation and disclosed that members of her administration had contacted state police officials nearly two dozen times to discuss Wooten. But last week, she asked the state personnel board to conduct its own probe, and a string of witnesses has failed to show up at scheduled depositions with the investigator hired by the Legislature.

America's sweetheart is sounding phoney. No longer co-operating with an investigation, in spite of her assurances, and now witnesses are less willing to turn up. Something smells here.
I am agreeing with Texpat, here.Quote:

We know the election in 2004 was close but in Minnesota and Wisconsin, Kerry won by low single digits.
The Midwest was solid red and strong red.
I see this election having similar results: blue on the West Coast and blue in the Northeast, and a thick, fat red in the middle, and near the middle-west.
I now think McCain will win.
It's Rovian! It's a cover up! It's DICK CHENEY reincarnate!
Ease up Sabang. You're looking desperate. ;)
Desperate is McCain for picking the woman without properly vetting her. Wait and see what else pops up. Now Tex you do know you come from a union of Adam and Eve dont ya?
1) Her home is roughly 30 miles inland (from a navigable harbor).Quote:

Watching her speech in AK. She's holding her own, OK, easy coz it's her home state but she's reeling them in. One great charmer line:
Alaska: where men are men...
and women win the Iditarod.

^^ All the best jokes are from an old mold, pai nai. Knock knock...Everybody knows the stream of the joke, dumbo. Not a bad speech. Dunno about AK saving the lower 48 with the gas pipeline and being the country's saviour in energy. A bit too much John McCain is the man stuff. But she held her own. I didn't like how she was smacking her lips tho. And get rid of the geek on her left.
My bad. Pump fists.;)Quote:

That was good bit of humor BF. Too bad I can't green you for it seeing how I just redded you for something else. Keep 'em coming.
Snippets on the news this am says shes f*cked it in her first live interview. War with Russia?? Cool.
It will be the live, unscripted that kills her. Bomb just waiting to explode. Poor old john, good gamble, poor choice.
