McCain - Palin: Unethical conduct and lies

Given the deceitful distortions and inherent lies the McCain-Palin team, and particularly Mrs. Palin herself is telling about Senator Obama's record, it should be no surprise that Governor Sarah Palin was found last Friday to have acted unethically under Alaska law by abusing her power as governor.

The finding is the result of a bipartisan investigation approved by the Republican-controlled Alaskan legislature into Governor Palin's firing of Alaska's state safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, for refusing to bend to her pressure - and pressure from her husband Todd and her staff - to fire her former brother-in-law from his job as State trooper.

Contrary to what Ms. Palin and Senator John McCain are telling voters to gloss over her unethical conduct, the inquiry into her unethical behavior didn't originate with Obama supporters and Democrats. It began on a bipartisan vote by Alaska's legislature in June, more than a month before Senator McCain made his surprising decision to select Mrs. Palin as his running mate.

The legislature's independent investigator's 263-page report made public last Friday ended a months-long investigation and related hearings. It concluded that Governor Palin wrongfully exerted pressure to fire trooper Michael Wooten, and also allowed her husband to use state resources and records, including the governor's offices and access to records, in the effort to have trooper Wooten fired. The report noted that Mrs. Palin, her husband and various staff members pressured Commissioner Monaghan, himself a Palin appointee, and his aides more than three dozen times in calls and meetings to get trooper Wooten fired.

    • "This website is very angry"?

      "After weeks of looking all they could find was NOTHING!"

      Rocky12000 needs his bifocals checked for lens imperfections. He sees things which aren't really there and doesn't see things which really are.

      As to why Governor Mooselini hasn't been arrested, yet, we are not aware of all that may result from the discovery phase of these investigations or how many other areas may open up.

    • They WHY pray tell, has she not been arrested?!?!?!
      This truly is another example of the poorly positioned "justice" system. What the hell are they afraid of? Wrong is WRONG, and she was WRONG!

    • she keeps replying when asked, that she was cleared of all charges. That is not true. Either she in incapable of reading, or chooses to not to read such an important document, is delusional, or lying. One pf the previous statements must be true, none of them are complementary, but any of them shed serious doubt on her suitability to hold high office, and all credibility in all statements.Those who still retain respect for her are engaging in irrational and childish wishfull thinking.

      actually they did find that she acted both illegally and unethicly.No matter how much she denies it and states that it cleared her the fact is , what she's saying is untrue. En=motion has nothing to do with it.

    • ..."acted unethically under Alaska law by abusing her power as governor." Did she or did she not break the law??? And if so, is she being prosecuted?? Why won't they come out and say it??

    • It's too bad they didn't find her responsible for misconduct as well. What they did was pretty much a slap on the hand if that. Meanwhile, they continue to delude themselves into believing they're right. I hope Obama wins by a landslide and the party can really start! Won't this be interesting though? Of course, this is all depending on whether or not Bu$h & his buttboys don't declare Martial Law and put a stop to the election in the process. Stay tuned!
