The ethics rule violation seems to be based on the assumption that it was "likely" Monigan was fired for reasons other than what Palin said - namely wooten.
It seems "likely" is not based in evidence, just a judgement by a partisan investigator.
They gave Obama the headline "Abuse of Power", other than that there is no there there. She broke no laws and certainly was within her right to fire monigan, for whatever reason.
Yes, she DID break a law. However, she was protected by another law.
Are you opposed to politicians abusing their power in order to further their personal ambitions when it violates the constitutional rights of US citizens?
Isn't that why conservatives always say gun rights are so important and less government involvement in the affairs of citizens is better?
You can't have it both ways, dude. Yes, Sarah Palin looks like a winner to you because she hunts. Cripes...I hunt too, but that doesn't mean you should vote for me for that reason only. Sure, chicks that hunt are all sexay to the gun loving crowd but c'mon. Evidence has been shown tonight that the woman embodies everything conservatives are so darn vehemently opposed to (except for the guns).
The Republicans are doing this time what the Democrats did last time...abandoning their sensibilities in search of a gimmick to win. Running a war hero didn't work for the Dems before and it's not going to work for the Republicans. Trying to win over all of Hillary's supporters and combat Obama's "first black man" historic campaign by picking a Woman VP pick without first properly vetting her was ignorant and another gimmick. It worked for a couple of weeks to energize the base but in the long run it didn't work.
I'm just kinda shocked that those of you who would never consider voting for Obama aren't shifting to the Libertarian party.
Why the hell cant the Reps just admit she was a terrible choice as VP?? Stop defending this woman & this kind of behavior! Its ridiculous.
Just over a year as Governor & she abused her power. What do you think she'd do in the VP's office given the chance?? Rep, Dem, whatever, do you guys really want another Bush/Cheney nightmare?? If you do, then sorry, but you can just get lost cause you're nothing but straight up Neocon & the country simply cant stand anymore of that.
He wasnt my first choice from all the people running, but Obama & Biden is all we got guys. Better get behind them now so we can all come together & fix our country.

It sounds like those defending Palin would be pleased to be ruled by a dictator with absolute power.
Wooten still has his job - how scary is that? The guy is obviously unstable and a "postal" candidate.
We do realize that the supposed ethics rule violation had nothing to do with the firing of monigan?
It had to do with her "inaction" when it came to Todd talking to people and making phone calls.
I'm actually beginning to wonder about the accusations as well. I haven't seen any proof of them being true...only speculation and claims by the family of the woman he was in a divorce and custody battle with. Anyone who has been through a nasty divorce knows that accusations are thrown around that aren't always true or are grossly exaggerated. It was investigated and he wasn't fired. For all we know the guy could be innocent or the truth of what took place could be much milder than the story circulating.
Regarding Todd Palin...his wife is the Governor of his state. As a result he cannot be bullying state employees subordinate to her. If she can't even keep her husband in check as Governor what on earth could we expect with the guy in Washington? Politicians/public servants CANNOT use their position and power to resolve personal and family issues to the detriment of any of the citizens. That pretty much throws due process right out the window. What about the constitution? Does that not matter anymore? And again, if she can't even keep her husband from interfering in her doing her job properly how on earth can you expect good things from her in Washington?
