Me too. If there was unlawful behavior there is a simple way to address it. File a complaint against the perpetrator and have the court deal with it. Or police internal affairs. Simple, done.

Which is well within her rights under the law, correct? What is the scandal here? Besides the fact this whole thing is being run by Obama supporters?


The report notes a few instances in which Palin pressed the case against trooper Mike Wooten, but it was her husband, Todd, who led the charge. Todd Palin had extraordinary access to the governor's office and her closest advisers and he used that access to try to get Wooten fired.

Gov. Palin knowingly "permitted Todd to use the Governor's office and the resources of the Governor's office, including access to state employees, to continue to contact subordinate state employees in an effort to find some way to get Trooper Wooten fired," Branchflower's report reads.


Is Todd the governor or is Sarah?

That's illegal.

Branchflower Report



Finding Number One

For the reasons explained in section IV of this report, I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Alaska Statute 39.52.11(a) provides

"The legislature reaffirms that each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust."


It goes on to say that she is allowed to fire him in execution of her duty. But she still broke the public trust.

I really don't think that it will have much of an impact on the election at this point. McCain is down in the polls way too much to catch Obama now. We are in for a big change. I don't think it will be a good on either.

I posted this on our local message board just a little while ago.

Is Barack Obama a member of the Council on Foreign Relations? Rumor has it that he is, but it’s not official. However, he does get huge support from other members of the CFR. His wife is a member. And he promotes the agenda of CFR (NAFTA, NAU, free-trade).

Barack Obama, along side George Bush, John McCain, Dick Cheaney, Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, John McCain, and other faces featured by the mainstream media (which the CFR controls) are all members of or affiliated with the CFR and its anti-sovereignty agenda. So did many that lurk in the shadows like George Soros.

Here is a list of his top contributors.

Goldman Sachs $739,521
University of California $697,506
Harvard University $501,489
Citigroup Inc $492,548
Google Inc $487,355
JPMorgan Chase & Co $475,112
National Amusements Inc $432,169
Microsoft Corp $429,656
UBS AG $419,550
Lehman Brothers $391,774
Wilmerhale Llp $383,024
Time Warner $375,063
Sidley Austin LLP $370,916
Skadden, Arps et al $360,409
Stanford University $341,399
Morgan Stanley $341,380
Latham & Watkins $328,879
Jones Day $309,960
University of Chicago $294,237
General Electric $290,584

This is his profile page on the CFR website.

Here is the speech he gave to the CFR in 2007

This is the WikiPedia page

Scroll down and read through the Corporate and notable members list.

Then read the page on the Trilateral Commission
en.wikipedia.org...

Then read the page on the Bilderbergers

Vote for McCain or Obama. It does not matter. We are at the Dawn of a New World Order.
