Palin Won't Meet With Troopergate Investigator!

Guess you do not have the ability to read because this discussion wasn't about Obama. But, I have seen you and know that you like "debate" which I use that term lightly. I wasn't an Obama supporter until Hillary dropped out, and if you have seen my posts you will notice that I have repeated a number of times that I am an Independent and I have voted for Democrats and Republicans. I voted for Dole then Gore. Sheeze I think I'm going to have to start putting that in all my posts! Now back to Obama first issue I do not agree with him on: 1. Windfall taxes on oil companies and giving a check to all Americans just for living here. You know like Palin does to Alaska. 2. I do not agree completely with giving more money to charter school, I will have to wait and see about that issue, increased funding would be good for them but if they are able to function with limited grants and the $5,320 federal dollars that follows a child then why kill a good thing. So far I have two things that I don't agree with but, he has too much other stuff that is good to cast him aside and vote for McCain. The Republican ticket this election cycle stinks and I wouldn't vote for them this time around.

Oh were you talking about Obama?

You know nothing about me! Just because you've read my posts doesn't make you and expert on me. Matter of fact I actually hate to debate, guess you don't know me like you though! Happy Voting :)

I agree from what I understand the panel is made up of mostly Republicans, Republicans that were in her cabinet. If they had this proof they would share it with us and would have no problem letting her testify. But The McCain / Palin ticket can't tell the truth for anything. I wonder why Palin won't answer voter questions, or give interviews you think its because there own voters and the media are all corrupt and out to get her! Sounds like someone has issues!

You know, if it was just one minor incident, it might not look so bad, but her hit list as Governor seems to be growing every day and I find it extremely hard to believe that everyone is out to get her and that everyone but her is telling lies. The firing of the librarian is another time when she abused her power but, in that case, public outrage, forced her to back down. Of course, the local paper that reported the firing, and the resinding of that firing the very next day, was telling lies and under the control of the Democrats....long before McCain had ever heard her name.

Thanks Zeph! I'm starting to feel a strong sense of Deja Vu...like watching the Watergate conspiracy fall apart and take down Nixon.

Bravo spalladino!!

I agree. That is the impression that it gives me.

Well, it's not going to be in limbo forever and a determination should be made right before the election. I really would hate, for John McCain's sake, for this to still be a cloud of any kind hanging over his campaign on election day. Right now...today...it looks like a coverup and both Palin, and McCain by letting statements be issued by the campaign, are giving the impression that they are not bound by the same rules and laws as the rest of us and can simply refuse to cooperate with legislators trying to get to the bottom of this.

Perhaps she'd be more willing to accommodate them if the person in charge hadn't already decided and basically announced to the media that she was guilty weeks ago.

Probably what you don't trust about her is that she seems to be an extremist who does what she wants whether it's ethical or legal. I also don't see any solid reason for her to refuse to cooperate. She has attorneys to sit next to her while she meets with the legislature and she knows that she's hurting the campaign by looking guilty.

What about the Alaska Republican legislator from Wasilla who cut a hunting or fishing trip short to return and cast the deciding vote? Also, why were private e-mail accounts being used which Palin herself allegedly said wouldn't be subject to subpoena? I'm sorry but there are far more questions than answers so far and since Palin has only been nationally known by most of us for a few weeks there hasn't been enough time for most of us to have developed this blind trust in her that some of her supporters and fans seem to have. Then there's Rose who simply changes the subject because she refuses to accept the GOP ticket isn't made up of two "God-like" individuals...lol Annie

Very well said! As I said, there are more questions than answers so far and she's doing little to help her own case. Annie

I can't find where he said those words but I think you may be referring to Alaska Democrat French (first name unknown), but Republicans also voted for this investigation and it won't be Mr. French who Palin speaks with, if she indeed ever does cooperate. Come on, Taskr, you have to admit that by hiding she's only raising more suspicions about herself, especially since she'd promised her full cooperation. I see this as neither a witch-hunt nor a partisan issue. Annie

The majority of people on the panel are Republicans and Republicans that Palin is familiar with!

I also do not believe that Palin, by withdrawing her cooperation, is doing herself any favours (politically speaking, if I were her, I would be seen to be cooperating but I would demand that, in view of the currently politically charged atmosphere, that the chairman of the investigating panel recuse himself (as he has effectively said that Palin is guilty before having heard all the evidence) This investigation presents difficulty for Palin in that her claims of the panel AS A WHOLE being biased are difficult to sustain, as the majority of this panel are Republican and so is the Alaska state legislature, etc. That said, I am aware that Palin has antagonised some powerful Republican people in Alaska and who knows this may be their way to get their revenge (after all in politics, quite often it is not your political opponents you have to watch, but the so-called 'friends' on your own side who can stab you in the back!) To sum up though, I think Palin is being badly advised in this. She should say that she will cooperate but demand a fair hearing, in front of legislators that have not already expressed a view. Everyone has the righ to a fair trial and I think those who have expressed views that Palin is already guilty, without having heard the evidence, should recuse themselves and be replaced by someone else.

The Trooper is a jerk and he was punished...suspended...for his infractions. The problem here, irish, whether Palin did anything wrong or not, is that she originally said she would cooperate with the Alaska Legislature and now she's flat out refusing to talk to them or to answer one single question. These are elected officials from her own state...representatives of both parties. She is not above the law, she is not above answering questions about her role in directing her staff and about her husband's activities in regards to pressuring people, which is especially disturbing since he was/is a private citizen and not an employee of the state. She has an attorney up there already putting up smokescreens so it will be a while before you hear her side of the story other than "I did nothing wrong".

Neither am I, so do I, so am I and so will I...lol! And nothing minicooper or rambling Rose says is about to change my mind! Annie

I second that!. . . or third it? lol

Three women accusing him of rape? I guess YOU'D better be careful where you lob your stories. Annie

So now Clinton raped Paula Jones. Do you know the definition of rape? Annie

You Know what? I won't even argue with you. I'll give you Paula Jones. What about the other women? And If John McCain had this on his record, where would you stand on it?

So, this is just a witch hunt and there is no evidence whatsoever? The Republicans in the Alaska Legislature are corrupt? The Democrats are corrupt? Everything is a big lie made up by corrupt people? Everyone else is guilty and Sarah Palin is innocent. Abuse of power is not "nothing" and if Palin had any integrity at all, she would stand up and straighten this out. The only one tainting anything is Palin...she's tainting the Republican party with her impersonation of Richard Nixon after Watergate.

Oh please you need another hobby besides politics really I said nothing that you just posted, that goes to show how good Democrats actually listen to what others say. Guess thats why they are voting for Obama even though he is a baby killing, muslim terrorist.

I forgot to mention, the ALASKA LEGISLATURE was already investigating this before it was McCain announced that Sarah Palin was his nominee for the V.P. slot. I guess they're psychic *and* corrupt. And, do not make assumptions about my party affiliation because I'm not falling all over myself over Sarah Palin. You have not seen me post anything negative about John McCain but Palin is another story. More and more things are coming out about her, both personally and professionally, and I refuse to turn a blind eye it. Continue to drink the kool aide if you like but I'm interested in the facts. By the way, I'm Pro Choice and proud of it.
