What exact qualifications do you think Todd Palin has to govern a state? Not that Sarah was qualified.
I guess that the original poster doesn't realize how many people choose undergrad work in English prior to a law degree. They will spend a great part of their careers writing and a bit of education probably wouldn't hurt.

Actually I do but if it makes you feel better to pretend I dont.. feel free. Considering we are discussing Mr Palins involvment as a "consultant", tell me what a "law" degree has to do with being a consultant..

I guess Fox News forgets to include this tidbit in their fair and balanced reporting!

Quote:
McLeod is a Republican, and she was once a Palin ally. In fact, she was integral to Palin’s effort to oust state Republican party chairman Randy Ruedrich from Alaska’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in 2003 after it emerged that he had used his state email account for political purpos

Quote:
Henning said he worked for Conoco Phillips until 2005 and now works on the North Slope as an environmental coordinator for Pioneer Natural Resources. He is a member of a Valley conservative group called the Last Frontier Foundation –- tax hawk and property rights activist Penny Nixon is the chairman, he said -- but filed the complaint on his own behalf.
This is interesting!

The lawsuit was brought by Gregory Charles Royal, a musician who met Sarah Palin in 1991 when The Duke Ellington Orchestra toured Alaska. On that occasion, Sarah Palin told Royal that she does not "talk" or "mess with" Black men.

Where did you get the impression that these lawsuits and ethics complaints were from liberals?

And I'm sure you know Palin bucked the reuplican party when she ran for Governor. You don't think they might bo out for revenge, do you?

She is still a Republican! We can't help it Republicans eat their own!

It is the Republicans/Conservatives who bring on frivolous money and time wasting complaints for political agendas as your question,

Sure!

Quote:
Nearly 3,000 pages of e-mails that Todd Palin exchanged with state officials, which were released to msnbc.com and NBC News by the state of Alaska under its public records law, draw a picture of a Palin administration where the governor's husband got involved in a judicial appointment, monitored contract negotiations with public employee unions, received background checks on a corporate CEO, added his approval or disapproval to state board appointments and passed financial information marked "confidential" from his oil company employer to a state attorney.

You can read all those e-mails in msnbc.com's searchable online archive, created in cooperation with a legal services company, Crivella West.

I think it ironic how the dems always say the repubs do not have minds of their own. That they march lock step in line to any thing the paerty says. Then Palin comes along and demonstrates individual thinking and bucks the party. Beats the part entrenched politicals and now they want to bloat about the ethics complaints are from reups, all of them were not. You can't have it both ways.
