    Can we get Hank to ask her some questions?

    How about asking her to respond to the finding that she abused her power?

    Abused her power? Did you read the whole report? Obviously not, because in the supporting paragraphs to the “findings”, the investigative panel wrote that the Chief’s failure to fire Trooper Wooten “likely played a role” in his being fired by Palin.

    “Likely”? That’s a “finding”? That’s not a finding, it’s a weather report. They spent 100,000 dollars to know not one whit more than they knew before. It’s all supposition, insinuation, and “appearance”.

    If someone threatened to shoot your father, and went further to say that “nobody could touch him because he was a trooper”, what would you do? Forget about it? I doubt that, highly.

    They had a problem with the trooper, and they followed proper channels. They went to the Chief.

    Did they lose their right to petition for redress of grievances when Sarah was elected governor?

    I tell you what. You find where she fired him, in writing that can be traced to her, because he failed to fire Trooper Wooten, and I’ll grant that she acted improperly. But for “personal gain”. What personal gain was involved?

    I’d have sent my sister to the nearest court, and gotten a Protection from Abuse Order” against Trooper Wooten. Once granted, he’s prohibited from even touching firearm, and done as a Trooper. I wouldn’t have gone to the Chief, and allowed the Alaska State Troopers to handle the situation, “In House”. She apparently tried to work “behind the scenes” to avoid embarrassing the Alaska State Troopers, and the State of Alaska. Unfortunately, it blew up and embarrassed everybody.

    Hank Williams, Jr., is gonna reach the TOP with this new song! LOVE IT! And I have a question for “Mark” above……why is it that the Dems can always point a finger at EVERYTHING the Republicans do, but find no fault EVER in the Democratic party? We need to start reminding people that it was our former PRESIDENT Clinton that was having an affair in the oval office — the Dems act like Clinton is “King Tut” when he’s making his no-nonsense speeches. Then, we move forward to the “Messiah” Obama, who is CONNECTED WITH TERRORISTS, ACORN, PREACHERS WHO USE THE “G.D.” WORD FROM THE PULPIT (God help him), and who KNOWS what else that we aren’t even privy to! We need to be reminded over and over about the forgotten 9/11 day! Shame on ANYBODY, and especially Americans, that just accepts, without question, any kind of FACTS that have been PROVEN to be true by Obama and his croonies! Get a life….and maybe it will be somewhere else other than the USA!!

    Mark - Why you are at it, why don’t you ask your Obama why he purchased a lot next to his house in Chicago from a convicted felon Rezko for half of what it is worth?

    Why won’t Obama produce a vault certified birth certtificate and stop the lawsuit filed in the Federal District Court by a Democrat Phillip J. Berg? This came about after Obama posted a birth certificate on his website claiming to have been born in Hawaii and three forensic specialist found the certificate to be forgery, actually it was his half sisters BC.

    Why won’t you ask your supporter Obama why his campaign gave more than $800,000.00 dollars to ACORN while they are under investigation by the Justice Department for fraud, extortion, and Racketeering?

    Why won’t you demand Obama’s association with a Marxist Odinga in Kenya? Obama raised more than 1 million dollars to get Odinga elected.

    Why are you not questioning Obama about his relationship with a black nationalist marxist J. Wright after attending his church for more than 20 years, yet claims he did not know he was making those statements about GD America and the United States of KKK America?

    Why are you not asking Obama about his association with Williams Ayers an admitted terrorist who claims he did not do enough. Obama was hired by Ayers to sit on a board that spent more than 100 million of our tax dollars to indoctrinate school children and the money did nothing to improve the schools in Chicago?

    I could go on, but I dought you will ever ask the above questions of Obama, simply keep drinking the liberal koolaid!

    Paratrooper–right on!!! These are the questions that need to be addressed before November 4th, but who is going to ask them. The Obama-mania media won’t ask him, Fox News is even becoming soft on Obama. I am soooo frustrated that no one cares about who Obama really is. Obama avoids media outlets that would ask him tough questions. I hope there are more Americans that see him for what he is, an empty suit that has not had one major accomplishment in his life. Go McCain/Palin!!!!

    The liberal media claims they have a poll when in reality, all they are expounding upon are their own opinions and the hope that they can be the first to broadcast the election of an African American president.

    I cannot vote against an American hero who has never stopped fighting his country’s enemies and prepped himself with 26 years in the U.S. Senate. John McCain was a fighter pilot, a prisoner of war in Hanoi and can work with Democrats and Republicans for the betterment and protection of other Americans.

    Barrack Hussein Obama is a big spending Democrat who, despite younsters and high profile Hollywood stars who crave the spotlight, has never served his country, much less proved his courage under fire by staying as a POW during the Viet Nam war even after being offered his release instead of those who had been in captivity longer than he had.

    As for Sarah Palin, she’s only the most popular reform-minded governor in all 50 states, who only happens to be a beautiful woman.
    The hell with the media, the choice is clear.

    As an Alaskan I will say that I love Sarah Palin. She has done more in two years for Alaska than any of the other governors have done in the last 30 years. She has always taken the time to listen to any Alaskan. She is the real polition that we all desire and ask for. She is a self made woman/american. She has worked her ass off for the people to get where she is, nothing was given to her like Obama. Who paid for Obamas education? We may never know. We do know that he did not.. God bless America, God bless
