New report...Palin abused her power as Governor of Alaska by "violating a statute" but broke no laws? How exactly is "violating a statute" NOT breaking a law? How does that happen?
YES...that's exactly what we want. An Administration, elected by people full of hatred and resentment. SO full of hatred and resentment, in fact, that racism and religious intolerance flow from their mouths, loudly and for the whole world to see. This new Administration then get into office to "violate statutes" over and over...oh wait...that's what we've had for the past 8 years. What was I thinking.
If we elect this dismal pair into office, we deserve what we get. What was that Palin said about the VP needing to have more power?

Palin, the used-to-be beauty queen mean girl... you remember those kind of girls (every high school had a herd of them) that have very little desire for education and nothing but snarky diggs and hate for anyone that is/was their target de jour...

McCain, the has-been flyboy underachiever who never quite measured up to daddy or grandpappy's level (or rank)...

When the pundits say she didn't break the law, she did break the law. Because the commissioner served at her pleasure, she could fire him for no reason. However, she broke the law because he abused her power for personal reasons. The people of Alaska should impeach her. And Sarah Palin should, from this point forward, keep her mouth shut with regard to Barack Obama or anything else for that fact because she has lied about everything since she became a vice presidential candidate.

The Alaska Legislature's findings are a confirmation of past practice and a possible foretelling for her future propensity for mis-use in the future, at the state and national level. Power seems to corrupt her and her husband, and the more absolute the power, thmore absolute the corruption.

It appears that she might well follow the path of VP Cheney, as she indictated in the VP debate that she envisions the powers of the VP Office as expandable.

It would be wise of the Alaskan Legislature to rebuke her, her husband and their efforts. Perhaps this would be a lesson in energy for her...the limits and control of power.

Tip of the Alaskan Iceberg. The AIP and Todd Palin is next.

If you are an American voter YOU MUST SEE THIS if you missed it on previous posts! Let no one make a mockery of America!!!! ... at 28 seconds you will hear a very incriminating sentence.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eniG9l_7its

***Guilt-by-association means McCain & the rest of the Republican Party pal around with this brand of Anti-Americanism and will continue to destroy America.

Vote Against McCain-Palin; they are anti-American and wolves in sheep’s clothing.

MORE insight…

Here is video of Dexter Clark, Vice Chairman of the AIP Northern Region during an Oct 3-4 Secessionist Convention in Chattanooga, TN stating twice that Sarah Palin was a member of the AIP (6:15-6:45 on the clock on PART 1) CLARK: "... There was alot of talk about her moving up. She was an AIP member before she got the job as the Mayor, that was a non-partisan job, but to get along, to go along, she eventually joined the republican party...she also had about an 80% approval rating and is pretty much sympathetic because of her former membership..."

PART 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NK2sFJebGc
PART 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqa896wYatk&NR=1

Of course the McCain Campaign has stepped in and the AIP Chairman Lynette Clark (Dexter’s wife seen seated next to Dexter in the video) issued a public statement on Sept 03, 2008 ( http://www.akip.org/090308.html ) announcing that Sarah Palin had never been an AIP member. Meanwhile I believe I read somewhere that the McCain Campaign has produced records that Sarah had been a registered republican for quite sometime. The reasoning provided by Lynette for the discrepancy on her membership was that Dexter had been "misinformed." Regardless of actual membership Sarah Palin's association is inextricable because of Todd's membership during their marriage. These videos are incredibly insightful. Aside from a very purposeful ideology, the methodology by the AIP is to infiltrate politics through the cloak of the republican party in order to obtain power. Todd was an AIP member from 1995-2002 while married to Sarah. Sarah was non partisan Mayor until 2002. The connection between Todd relinquishing his membership in order for Sarah’s ascension into the political theater is pretty clear. Being a member of the AIP is not a benign act, one favors very specific goals and clearly unpatriotic succession is one of them. Do some research on its founder Joe Vogel. This is what happens when a VP is not properly vetted. The GOP cover-up of truth is upon us.

There are tidbits of interesting anecdotal evidence and furthermore these videos offer a unique and important perspective inside the AIP. Oil and money seem to be a big part of the movement for Alaskan independents as well. These folks sure got that "mavericky" kind of personality all-the-while espousing little or no government infiltrating their lives.

I don’t think McCain had this kind of unpatriotic “maverick” in mind.

If Sarah Palin is acting like that as a Governor...what kind of crazy deals/personal vendetta would she use our military for..God forbid's that she becomes the VP of the free world....????? She needs to keep that hockey-mentality in Alaska and stay there as well.

Hum..........This can't be good. Not good at all.

Even if it is not found to be criminal, there is still the hint of abuse of power.

I am so glad that this report has been made public before the election so that everyone can see her true character. Now I want to know what they said about her husband's deep involvement into her public job. That is wrong, also, she is the governor, not him.

Buh-Bye, Sarah!!! And don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out! You were humorous to watch while you lasted, wish we could have watched you make a fool of yourself for more than 6 weeks, but it's about 5 weeks further than I thought a dope like you could get.

I believe that aside from this clown's recent antics, McInsane's campaign was over. This officially removes all doubt. John McCain has chosen this way to end his pathetic pursuit of power and respectability. Now he has neither.

It was an entertaining sideshow while it lasted.
