Can He Stop 'Troopergate'?

Palin is not only a flip-flopper on the investigation, she is a very dangerous abuser of power that does anything to obstruct the justice.

This brings 2 questions to mind:
1) If McCain/Palin wants this to go away, because it lacks substance then they should work with the investigators - this makes it look like a cover-up.
2) If McCain/Palin wants to be diffrent from Bush/Cheney then stonewalling an abuse of power investigation is the 100% wrong way to go about it.

Does this sound familiar? Stonewalling, lack of transparency, lack of accountability, pursuing personal agendas from positions of public office, distortion of the facts? Sounds to me a lot like the Bush administration. Enough. If there is nothing to "Troopergate" then release the e-mails. What is there to hide?

I think I have it figured out now. Palin and McCain must be practicing to reform the government! Although, I admit that reforming the government by obstructionism and refusing to answers questions is a little too abstruse for me to understand. I think Richard Nixon tried that. Also, reforming the government by avoiding one's own accountability is also a little, contrary... But I sure can see how the Republicans will jump on the bandwagon of this kind of reform!

I feel that we are missing the point in all of this. This isn't about Palin. It's about McCain - his judgment, his willingness to do or say anything to win. He is truly a Republican. The hypocrisy of saying "Country First" when he choses someone who is totally unqualified to become President if something happened to him. That's not placing country first. That's placing himself first. Now he and his staff are having to stramble to justify it. I am greatly disappointed in John McCain. I once respected him. No longer. I do hope the American people wake up and see what's going on here. Do we really want four more years of what have' had?

To my understanding her sister has been divorced from this man since 2005? Correct me if I am wrong. Why in the world was this woman still bothering this man two years later? He went on about his business and had been re-married and divorced again. If McCain had vetted her he would not be having this situation right now. What is done in the dark will come to the light guaranteed!

look if she didnt have anything to hide why is Mcshame got his lawyer ther???????,atroopergate to nowere

Epidemic of Clinging to Bibles and Guns Syndrome (CBGS) traced to Gideon Bible in motel outside of Pittsburgh.

Remember when Ambassador Wilson would not agree to lie about / squash the fairytale that Iraq intended to purchase uranium yellowcake from Niger to support the administration's arguments that Iraq was proliferating weapons of mass destruction so as to justify its preemptive war in Iraq? Remember how Cheney made sure Wilson's wife was 'outed' as a top-secret CIA operative as 'payback' for Wilson's disloyalty to the administration? Get ready for more of the same dangerous vindictiveness from Palin. The difference is that Cheney's vindictiveness was professional...related to what he thought was the good of the country. Palin's is personal. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

This investigation began BEFORE Sarah Palin became McCain's VP. This investigation was spear-headed by a BI-partisan group of more Republicans than Democrats. The GOP is trying to make this investigation political.

Sarah Palin... if you have nothing to hide then stop the nonsense... get on with the investigation so you can Hopefully, put it behind you.... simple as that... they can't make up what is not there, but you can certainly try to hide what you do not want others to see...

If Sarah Palin didn't do anything illegal, the case should proceed in order to remove any doubts in the public's mind. I agree that, if true, her brother-in-laws actions were horrific, but that is no excuse to circumvent the law. If you play that "he deserved it" logic out on a larger scale, anyone holding a government position of power, can punish any person for any perceived slight. It is not for Palin to decide guilt or innocence, or to choose what punishment should be handed down, There are proper channels (filing formal charges, the court system) that Ms Palin or her sister could have chosen, rather than weilding her power as governor as a weapon.

Where there's smoke there's fire! Why are McCain's attorneys even involved in this? Apparently, there is something that went on behind the scenes that both Palin and McCain don't want the public to know. Otherwise, she would be fully cooperating. The public has the right to scrunitize the integrity of anyone vieing for the most powerful position in the free world. It looks like another coverup, and Palin is subject to the laws of this country like everyone else. I'm more concerned about those attorneys and McCain trying to cover things up. Palin should receive no special treatment and the matter should be fully investigated before she gets anywhere near the Oval Office.

Why should Sarah Palin be exempted from the laws of the United States? How can even a challenge into a legitmate investigation be entertained? Most important, how can anyone request and expect to have, allegations of misconduct investigated by a staff of people who have to answer to their boss and the person solely responsible for them having their jobs be done fairly and their findings be held as trustworthy (Like the Republicans are seen as trustworthy)? Have any of these people been alive during the last eight years? What part of she hired school-mates to fill positions in the government that essentially took them from making a low hourly wage to a salary no lower than 65k plus perks and bonuses, whether they wre qualified for the position or not. I say, if McCain/Palin are allowed to squash this investigation by an independant third party, she should also be taken off the ballot until they cooperate and this issue gets resolved one way or another!!

She should NOT be above the law. None of US are. Yet it sounds like she counted on using her position and power to get what she wanted. At first I thought this was a sad case of an abusive ex-husband. Now I am more and more convinced this is a sad case of an abusive ex-sister-in-law.

The bi-partisan review committee that will judge you has 3 Republicans and 2 Democrats. Not exactly stacking the odds against you, so those 'outraged' shouts about Obama supporters stacking the deck against you? Pretty tough to figure that one out when the vote, at worst, could be 3-2 in your favor, going by party liines.

Sarah, if you have nothing to hide, LET THE TRUTH BE HEARD.

She was willing to cooperate until the democrat leading the investigation, making politically partisan remarks about the effects his investigation would have on Gov Palin. He said this before the investigation really got under way. I don't think Gov. Palin needs to testify as the emails between her and Monegan show insubordination , and his refusal to be a team player. She offered him a different position and he refused.
Even Monegan is on record saying the Governor never told him to fire the trooper. The trooper still has his job...even though there is plenty reason to have been fired.
