Team McCain and the Trooper

You can't stop the National Enquirer. Like it or not. They tell the truth. We need model First Families in the White House to be role models for our youth. Don't let the trash enter. Joe Biden has model children for all to see. Jill is gorgeous. Jill is beautiful on the outside and the inside. Biden is more qualified to be President than McSame, Palin or Obama.

The Trooper should have been fired and not suspended when he used a stun gun on his own stepson. The Governor should have put pressure on somebody to get him fired. People like that do not need to be in law enforcement. You liberals scream about police brutality all the time but you don't think the Governor should have pressured someone to have this guy fired. What a double standard!

Remember also in the Drew Peterson case, there were 18 eighteen separate domestic disturbance calls to the Drew Peterson residence outside Chicago. In the eighteen separate domestic disturbance calls to his home, Drew Peterson was never arrested or charged by his fellow officers with whom he worked. The only person ever charged by his fellow officers in all of Petersons domestic violence cases was his now deceased ex-wife. Any investigation into the conduct of her ex-brother-in-law trooper by his own department, the Alaska State Police and Pubic Safety Commissioner, should have been viewed with the same skepticism as the eighteen separate investigations into the conduct of Drew Peterson by his fellow officers. It clearly can be argued that the prudent course of action was for Governor Sarah Palin to intervene given the almost near universal blue wall of silence that often prevents investigation of police misconduct by their fellow officers, superiors, and even other outside law enforcement agencies. In light of the recent murders of spouses and girlfriends by police officers in other states, any alleged intervention by Governor Sarah Palin involving her ex-brother-in-law was not unethical or unreasonable, rather it was probably the more prudent course of conduct. Sarah Palin should not have had to wait until her sister disappeared before she intervened.

Newsweek reports that Wooten had once been the subject of a court-imposed domestic-violence protection order. Newswek further reports that a court filing by Wooten's lawyer indicates that within months of being issued, the violence protection order was dismissed.

There is no language in the federal criminal statute Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban that states or provides that Alaskan State Troopers are exempt from its provisions. Anyone including State Troopers are guilty of a federal felony punishable by five years in prison and a $100,000 fine for simple mere possession of a firearm if they are subject to an ordinary protective order for domestic violence. Importantly the reports state that the estranged spouse filed for divorce and a domestic violence protective order on April 11, 2005 against the State Trooper. This article reports that a protective order had been issued for a period. In most cases protective orders are customarily issued. Under new federal law, anyone subject to a protective order or convicted of misdemeanor domestic assault or felony assault is subject to a ban on possession or use of a handgun for a minimum of five years or at least to the end of the protective order. Some have argued that the ban is forever even after the protective order expires. The Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban is a federal law that applies to everyone including police officers and servicemen and servicewoman. Anyone in the military is subject to a discharge if a protective order is issued against them. It is a felony to violate the federal law Domestic Violence Offender Gun Ban and the penalty is five years in prison. Every day that the trooper wore his sidearm or rode in his patrol car with a shotgun in the trunk, he was committing a felony and violating the federal law. If a protective order was issued and the trooper became subject to the order, the trooper should have been ineligible to be a State law enforcement officer and it would have been a slam dunk to terminate him. The State Police Commissioner should have been aware of this law and should have terminated the brother-in-law without being asked. The State Commissioner failure to uphold the federal law should have been enough grounds for his own termination.

Barry must be talking lessons from Joe.

Remarks by Sen. Barack Obama yesterday leading up to his controversial "lipstick on a pig" jab at the McCain campaign mirror almost word-for-word a political cartoon published last week in the Washington Post.
Much has been made of Obama criticizing McCain's idea of "change" by stating, "You can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig." Taking it as an attack McCain's vice-presidential running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, the campaign responded with a video on the Internet today.
But less attention has been paid to Obama's statements just preceding the lipstick reference, which appear to be an un-attributed copy of the caption in a Washington Post political cartoon by Tom Toles Sept. 5.
Obama stated:
"'Watch out, George Bush, except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics ??? we're really going to shake things up in Washington!' That's not change ... you know, you can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig."
The political cartoon, also mocking McCain's and Palin's concept of change, stated four days earlier:
"Watch out, Mr. Bush! With the exception of economic policy and energy policy and social issues and tax policy and foreign policy and Supreme Court appointments and Rove-style politics, we're coming in there to shake things up!"
The similarities between the cartoon and Obama's speech were first noticed by users at the Free Republic website.

WHY SHOULD SARAH PALIN BE EXEMPT FROM THE INVESTIGATORY SCRUTINY THAT EVERY OTHER POLITICAL CANDIDATE MUST ENDURE. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A SMOKE AND MIRROR GAME GOING ON. SHE IS FRESH, COMPARED TO JOHN MCCAIN AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I SEE A PRESIDEMTIAL CANDIDATE FOLLOWING HIS VP CHOICE BECAUSE HE CANNOT DRAW A CROWD WORTH ANYTHING. SARAH PALIN IS NOT MOTHER MARY OR MOTHER THERESA, SHE IS A POLITICIAN WHO IS ADMITTEDLY A "PIT BULL" . AND WE ALL KNOW HOW WE FEEL ABOUT PIT BULLS, THEY HAVE VERY SHAKY PERSONALITIES AND CAN TURN ON ANYONE INCLUDING THE ONE WHO FEEDS IT, WATCH OUT MR MC"CANT" , YOU MIGHT BE BITTEN BY YOUR OWN PET!

I TOO AM AN AVERAGE AMERICAN, AND I AM APPALLED THAT ANYONE WOULD THINK THAT SARAH PALIN'S HISTORY SHOULD BE OFF LIMITS. EVERYONE GETS THEIR TURN BEING DRAGGED THROUGH THE INVESTIGATORY PROCESS. THE MORE I HEAR PEOPLE WHINING ABOUT IT, THE MORE I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING TO HIDE AND I, TOO WAS ON THE FENCE. HOWEVER, MCCAINS CAMPAIGN IS NOT AS TRANSPARENT AS IT SHOULD BE. ANY AND ALL INFORMATION SHOULD BE DISCLOSED AND INVESTIGATED. WHO IS SHE THAT SHE SHOULD NOT BE INVESTIGATED.
THERE IS DEFINATELY SMOKE WHICH MEANS THERE IS PROBABLY A FLAME OR TWO BEING "PUT OUT".
SHE STEPPED INTO THE GAME, ALL IS FAIR. STOP WHINING!!!!

I am a white middle class female who had not made up my mind about the election until the mainstream newsmedia began trying to push the election in a certain direction. Listen up newscasters (or whatever you prefer to be called). As long as you continue to push McCain/Palin in the ground you are helping people like me make up their minds. Most of us average Americans don't like to see people like you gang up on people. Stick to the issues if you are real journalist and not trash mongers. Both parties have plenty of baggage. You do yourself and OBama an injustice. Look at the numbers rising for McCain/Palin (count me in here) and keep on talking/digging trash and you will be looking at a McCain/Palin win for sure. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! Put yourself in the average American's shoes (like me) and pull some of your clips and look/listen and you will see how utterly ignorant you are. WE ARE NOT STUPID JUST BECAUSE WE ARE YOUR AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZENS!!! We love our country and we want to hear from each candidate what they have as a plan. A PLAN NOT JUST SOME GENERAL NUMBERS! WE DON'T WANT O'BAMA TELLING US ABOUT WHAT MCCAIN/PALIN IS GOING TO DO AND WE DON'T WANT MCCAIN TELLING US WHAT O'BAMA/BIDEN IS GOING TO DO!s!

What a garbage article. It concludes without stating the facts, that a corrupt police agency has circled the wagons agound a person who admitted child abuse, has numerous reports of threatening and abusing cittizens, threatening what was then a local Mayors family members with harm, reprimanded for dereliction of duties and crimanal misdemeanors and possibly felonies while on State Police business, and who at least once had to have a restraining order placed against him. The entire upper echelon of the Alaska State Police would seem to need to resign and the legislature put through a character and ethics policy for persons armed by the state while charged with protecting all citizens. Clearly this trooper was not properly disciplined and that demonstrates a need for the Gov. to address the issue to the appointed head of that organization and demand a response, policy changes, and legislative proposals to ensure that corrupt officials, even low level troopers, are held to high standards of personal conduct on and off the job.

SARAH PALIN IS NOW BEING JUDGED FOR ALLOWING ARIEL WOLF HUNTS IN ALASKA ! SHE HAS SIGNED A BILL THAT WILL ALLOW WOLF HUNTS AND THE PETA PEOPLE ARE GOING NUTS ABOUT IT AND THE LEFTIST LIBERALS TOO !! ITS NOT OKAY TO FLY A PLANE IN A STATE THAT IS ALMOST ALL WILDERNESS TO HUNT DOWN WOLFS THAT HAVE BEEN DEPLETEING THE OTHER WILD LIFE IN THE STATE ! THESE WOLFS HAVE GROWN IN POPULATION SO MUCH THAT THEY ARE NOW COMMING INTO CITIES AND TOWNS TO HUNT THEY ARE KILLING OFF LIVESTOCK AND DOMESTIC DOGS AND CATS PLUS LAST YEAR IN THE STATE THERE HAVE BEEN 19 REPORTS OF HUMANS BEING ATTACKED 14 OF WHICH WERE CHILDREN ! (GOOD THING SOMEONE WAS THERE TO HELP THEM ) SO THE LIBERALS AND PETA ARE IN A UPROAR !! BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT LIKE I DO YOU WILL COME TO THIS ......... WOLFS HAVE AS MANY AS 12 PUPS AT A TIME BUT NO FEWER THAN 5 AND IN A PACK 85% OF THE PUPS SURVIVE ! SO THAT BEING SAID THE WOLF POPULATION IS VERY HEARTY NOW MOST PEOPEL HAVE 1 KID AT A TIME SOME TIMES 2 OR 3 RARELY MORE ! WHY IS IT WRONG TO KILL OFF SOME WOLFS THAT ARE NOW BEING REAL BOLD AS TO ATTACK HUMANS BUT ITS OKAY FOR THE LIBERALS TO SAY HEY IF YOU DON'T WANT THAT KID GO GET RID OF IT ! SO WHAT I SEE IS ITS OKAY TO KILL BABIES IN THE LIBERAL POINT OF VEIW BUT IF YOU KILL A WOLF THEN YOUR A BAD PERSON !

Blah Blah Blah Blah, keep doing what you're doing. Thanks!!

It's bad enough that Bush and his cronies have been able to evade investigations into their activities during his presidency. Are we really going to let the Republicans ramrod through a VP candidate who most of us hadn't even heard of 2 weeks ago without demanding answers on possible corruption? If this investigation goes away and we are foolish enough to elect Bush - Palin (OOPS...I mean McCain - Palin), the Executive Branch will get the message they can have another 4 years of free, unchecked, do-anything-you-want activity. This "democracy" is already a sham; it will be all the more so if we don't demand answers now.
