US: panel finds Palin abused power

So, my question is, shes found guilty what happens now? will she be slapped on the wrist? Fined? will anything actually happen. or will she be allowed to serve as vice and possibly president of this country? saying that americans actually vote them into office, or they steal it like the past 2 elections. what happens to her? or the man she fired for that matter. did he loose his 401k or any other benefit because he actually did his job? will he be reinstated in his position?
why was her husband allowed to deny the subpoena?
Would i be allowed to do the same?

I just find it funny that people actually think Obama has substance. He is full of empty promises and political BS just like McCain.

You know I was actually called a racist a few days ago for having a McCain bumper sticker on my car. Yeah I was called a racist by some black guy for simply having a McCain bumper sticker on my car and this guy was a total stranger to me.

I have looked at Obama's voting record what little record there is anyway but I promise you there are millions of black voters out there simply voting based on skin color now you tell me who is racist.

I dare anyone to go out look at Obama's record and show me one thing he has done to better our country. Dont get me wrong I am not a big McCain supporter but he has been doing this for along time and yes some of it was BS but he actually has a record where Obama does not. Obama is friends with terrorist and a very racist preacher his ties with these people makes me wonder what else we dont know about him.

Allen why don't you and your little troll friend clamity go and see if you can kill a moose for Sarah Palin!

The Economy is going down the toilet and you are NOT going to win, so why not take up a talent like weaving?

It will make the web of 'lies' you perpetuate seem more INTERESTING!

Now go back to Free Republic and hide under your bridge. OK?

Palin has been spreading 'hatred' towards Senator Barack Obama! McCains crowds have become 'bloodthirsty' hordes because of her actions!

Sarah Palin needs to put her husband on a leash so he won't stalk other family members, make calls from the Govenor's mansion, and she needs to quit firing people who do not see things her way.

Let's see........what have the GOP twins been saying??
"Who really is Barack Obama?" Then the false rhetoric that has incited anger and hatred in their rallies while they stand by.......NOW, who really is Sarah Palin??
You see they may cast unproven aspersions on Obama that they have designed themselves[with lobbyists help] but the Alaskan law makers have PROOF Palin violated Ethics of her office. Her response, "not true". Yeah. How does it feel, you hypocrite!!!!!

I'm sure that McCain and the GOP can find a way to distract the American people from this obvious smudge on Palin's already shaky reputation.

Ding dong, the witch is dead! Well, that's what I'd hope. Ok, not actual death, but political death at least. Maybe a gentle maiming by a moose.

I think the only reason palin was even elected to be mcains v.p was to get more votes towards women. This just prooves that she'll be just as kniving as dick chaney just less creepy.

how could this be blamed by "liberals" she obviously abused her power, there are pictures of her preggy knocked up daughter on the web drinking underage while Palin preaches about family values and anti abortion. this woman is dangerous. how stupid do republicans think Americans are by placing a dull headed soccer mom on the national stage and call it change in the disguise of maverick. c'mon she cannot see an inch of the white house besides watching Barack Obama be sworn in.

Maybe we should tell everyone who supports them, but that probably wouldn't do anything 'cause they are so blinded by the lies. Go Obama!! Go Biden (even though I think he's a bit slow, he's hilarious)!!

HOW DOES TODD WORKED AT THE OIL COMPANY AND GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AT THE SAME TIME, IS THAT A RUBICK CUBE

People who **USE** the name of God in a conversation about **Abuse of Power** should be ASHAMED!

God should not be **USED**!

God is not a **Political Tool**!

Not for the right or the left! Its just WRONG! So, stop it!

Isnt it wierd? Sara Palin and Hilary Clinton from different parties and both Abusive and corrupted politicians who would stoop to any means to achieve their own goals. We need this kind of leadership like we need another dictator Bush.

good grief calamity..do you really believe that in yr heart?

Virginia lets check this out interesting

looks like we need to take on these floks

If you think you can get us not to vote for Mclain and Palin you can't change my mind.I will try my best not to be around people who kills babies,and doen't believe in God.God is everything.
clamity

like the entire campaigns so far..alot of spin will be put out on her guilt. What is truth though, is that McCheeks/Palin have been stirring up rallies w/hate all week long(or longer) and now, finally, he is trying to tone it down. More seeds of hate planted, how desperate the man is..

This can't fail to have repercussions on the electorate - although not as big an impact as it would if the economy wasn't in freefall. Very interesting!

I feel bad for us right now. I been trying think of ways to describe it to people to put it in simple terms but we should all know why. We Are Better Than THIS!!!!

I'm sorry - but what were the Republicans thinking. I'm shocked they "got in bed with" such a liability.

Do they really think she brings more to the party than she takes away?

I hope someone stops this anti-christ chick.

Lets be real honest here. We have had so much of this from the current administration and republican party that I am afraid this kind of behavior is becoming ingrained in those of this stripe or at least that is the perception and that is worrying from a group that claims 'country first'. Republicanism is becoming associated with mean spirited vindictiveness as a character trait more than patriotism.... More worrying and something we should all be thinking about...

If god was real, he would be scared too...

how is this breaking news??
thought this was common knowledge.

mccain is having a hell of a year. hurricanes, market crashing, losing campaign, and this woman? give this poor man a hug.

The McCain campaign is quickly degenerating into a huge fiasco - angry mobs spewing hate, begging John McCain to further attack Senator Obama. John McCain had better get used to calling 'that one' Mr President

We're kicking a dead campaign here. Obama/Biden have it in the bag.

REPUBLICAN NOSES ARE TURNING BROWNER AND GROWING LONGER EVERY DAY!!!! Flirting and Lipstick won't cover up this mess! Did she lose her comb or is she not entitled to those $1000 haircuts yet? They should take their final bows and take a hike! Someone asked the other day why MCCAIN didn't have a neck on the debate. It's because his egotistical head takes up all the space as it continues to swell!

Only Palin knows what she did and she has to live with it. Unless she's one of those who doesn't regret things.

The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn't the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor.

---

What? Really? If you're going to say she's guilty at least have a better reason than OMG it was part of the motivation. How much part? 2%....99%?

I was thinking I'd read the article and it would be apparent that she was wrong for doing what she did because the evidence would be so apparent..but apparently it wasn't because it was only PART of the reason he was snuffed.

And of course those who hate would love this and not notice that they couldn't even find them guilty wholly for the wrong but only partly....

it's a weak accusation still.

The implosion is officially under way.

Say it ain't so ho.

Bimbogate. Next to Charles Keating this is baby stuff and you hardly even hear of it. They said on the news that it's not really going to be prosecuted. As if she had been "out of line" but not so horrible for your average far away up in the Yukon state with six months of darkness. It's pretty average. I don't mean to be flippant but it just gave her more airtime to be seen in the skirt and heels. It's so damn insulting.

There she is out there with the Bull Connors kinda sheriff in Florida...seething with hate. If you just listen to the audio it's sounds like a torch holding mob heading for the Frankenstein house .

Wow, this is huge. And from a bi-partisan committee no less.

wow

she looks like she just stepped out of a political cartoon with that PALIN button.

This only proves that she's a "mean" cheerleader. It's like watching "Bring It On", the white girl is a huge bitch but the black girls can dance. F-Palin...she's stoking the flames of hate and deserves whatever political spanking she's going to get

Yeah...don't count on it Faze. She'll skate on this and if/when McCain goes down in November...Palin is going to be an automatic Republican front runner for 2012.

Sad but true.

As far as the republican party goes, they must be on some crack if they think there getting into office. The smart people are taking over this bitch and were not letting it happen. TAKE THAT!

I kinda knew what the findings were going to be, I'm more interested in whether justice will be served. I kinda know the answer to this too.....

i'm sure 95%+ of us knew that was true when it first came out.
i have no commentary but
yayy. good panel.

People are wise to the McCain camps smoke and mirror gimmicks. They can thank their leader G.W. Bush for teaching us all a valuable lesson

To put it succinctly: Hahahahahahaha!

I bet McCain is kicking him self now for not doing his homework before picking his running mate

She plays the blame game, and talks trash, but doesn't back it up, she may have some good points, but the negatives are far too high, she won't accapt her faults or at least apologize, but she has gone too far....( she is just about in the category with Bush, trying not to get the top), although, i've already heard enough of this, so it does not matter any more.

The economic meltdown last week was the final blow to GOP's election bid. This doesn't change much.

Breaking news on a Friday evening.

Can the momentum behind this information propel it all the way until Monday morning.?

What I have learned from Current is something I want to share with you all

This doesn't matter

Those who already support her will spin this and change the subject to Obama

Those who are against her will use this as an Aha moment and use it to prove their point.

Listen to how we spin ourselves. The puppet masters no longer need to pull our strings. We pull them for ourselves. When are we gonna step back and think?

I guarantee you beneath my comment people will do exactly as I just said. When are we gonna be more than sheep being led to the slaughter?

Obama/McCain whatever

After this is over we'll still have the thought processes and reflexes that allow us to get played like pianos. When are we going to make them work?

its official. she's a scumbag.

"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happened, you can bet it was planned that way." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

She's out, Lieberman to the rescue ;)

Funny that the response to the "maverick reformer" being caught unlawfully abusing power would be, "Hey...everybody does it".

I guess all that talk about reform, transparency and ethics was just lip service.

Typical.

Sarah Palin is a living personification of McCain's bad decision making. That fact that he hasn't ditched her yet is quite the same.

Those people who say that the timing is a Democrat ploy are really highlighting their own stupidity. This is an independent investigation, and besides, if it was Barack Obama in her place, CAN YOU IMAGINE what a furore the McCain campaign would make?! It's a sign of their good character that Obama and Biden are taking the high ground an leaving the public to decide.

So... Obama takes donations from foreign countries, lets continue shall we? If you think either of the 4 canidates are perfect, think again, it's what American's do best, lie, lie and lie a little more....If you notice, everyone is pointing out the bad in the Rep..side, when the Dem side is just as bad, hmmmm....oh well, your vote won't count anyway.

huntre, you loath the picture? Guess you should see her nude :)

It was a fair assessment of her behavior. I hope the Alaska voters start a recall.

we don't want somebody like that as the vice president.

Wow, this is better than impeaching Bush! Now Current will have something really important to put on TV all weekend long!

So, what happens now? Do people just brush their fingers at her in shame, or does she face there some real penalty, like impeachment?

what about mcsame's judgement with the palin pick.
what a home run?

Read the report mo1y, read the report. Don't just take
a radio talk show host's word.

"a heartbeat away." words to think about.

I believe in Obama.

Beat me to it.

Mo1y, it's obvious you're a trolling republican hack. Such a joke - how is this site unfair because a panel of alaskans found their governor guilty?

Tough choice, my fanny

Big surprise there...

THIS ARTICAL STINKS FROM BIAS EDITING OF THE FACTS.

The so called "family grudge" was based on a criminal act.

The state trooper Palin wanted fired, tasered an 11 year old boy, who happened to be related to Palin.

Tasering someone without cause is a criminal act.

Tasering an 11 year old boy is child abuse.

Tasering someone without cause is also sadistic.

Palin made the tough choice, and forced the firing of a sadistic state trooper.

I'd have a little more respect for this site if it were at least fair.

Yeah, you got this in right before me too. Thanks for posting it though. It'll be interesting to see how the GOP will spin this...

Bipartisan legislative committee.

Now, it's on to the, seemingly endless, "spin cycle", damage control posturing and blame game.
(oh my God, how I loathe that photo)

On the contrary it was a by partisan committee, that referred this matter. Looks like we caught another Cheney before it was to late.

She is dangerous!

Yeah, they have no other excuse but blame the liberals.
