Maybe they should expend some energy investigating what her concerns were about the trooper. Or maybe they don’t have any energy left because they’re spending it all analyzing her pregnancies, her daughter’s pregnancy, and whether or not she can handle a job while raising young kids.

Would public perception be different if the public knew the details of “Trooper-gate”? Might the public come to believe that Palin did the right thing in bringing her concerns to the forefront about the trooper’s continued employment as a keeper of the public trust? You decide. Here are the details.

Read them here.

Palin’s complaints about the trooper brother in law started before she was governor

He was officially found to have violated the law and/or policy in four occasions

They found he used a taser on his stepson

He told others his father in law would eat a “f’ng lead bullet”

He drank in his squad car

He was disciplined or given instructions to correct his behavior by supervisors seven times before the Palins ever got involved

Recounted the Anchorage Daily News: “The record clearly indicates a serious and concentrated pattern of unacceptable, and at times, illegal activity occurring over a lengthy period, which establishes a course of conduct totally at odds with the ethics of our profession,” Col. Julia Grimes, then head of Alaska State Troopers, wrote in March 1, 2006, letter suspending Wooten for 10 days. After the union protested it, the suspension was reduced to five days.

But as you know Hillary is not in the race right now. Hillary '12!!!! <em>In the meantime</em> McCain's choice of Palin was a neat piece of strategy (I believe) Palin is a better speaker than McCain or Barky. Hillary outshines everyone. but if you havent noticed the Obarky media machine is now going headlong after Palin. They mean to drag her through the mud just like they did Hillary. A large part of what prompted groups like the PUMAs to form was a deep sense of rage towards this rampant misogyny. Any woman who runs for President or VP is going to be subject to this kind of childishness, until that glass wall is busted through.

Obama is not a true liberal. He is an opportunist and I mean that in the most unflattering way. He does not seek real change for Americans, he seeks personal power. That is not liberalism. Have to say I got pretty weary of that kind of peer pressure and rhetoric there. Anyway not knocking CA, just a kind of close mindedness I got tired of.

Ron Paul is a diversion from the real world. I cant sit by and idly read your comments without replying. His platform is on the moon. He does not offer a serious alternative vote to anyone but staunch conspiracy theorists. I worked and sweated door to door and at the polls for Hillary, I saw and heard and experienced voter fraud here in Texas. What were you Paulians doing then? Sitting around talking about a Revolution? If you care about your country, and Im sure you do, then you would do well to get real and work to defeat Obama. He is a real and present danger to the safety and functioning of this country. I respect you so much more if you were going to vote McKinney, but you'd still be wasting a valuable vote <em>against</em> BO by not voting McCain. Oh please, what revolution?
