I have noticed that ethical hypocrisy has become something of a habit among far-right politicians in recent years. It's nice to know Palin fits in with all the others.
Lets go back to John McCain's ethical issues, back in the day to the Keating 5 in the 1980s, sooooooo Palin will fit right in with McCain's lack of ethics. In fact, they'll be a perfect continuation of the unethical Bush administration.
This is no longer a joke that McCain and the McCain campaign is blaming Obama for the investigation. Let me ask you this question, So did Obama convince the Alaska Legislature to spend $100,000 to investigate Palin, a month before anyone knew she would be McCain's VP choice? Wow, Obama must be some clairvoyant!
It is so sad that McCain, chastised Obama's "lack of experience". Then he chooses someone who has no foreign policy experience and doesn't even know what the VP does!!!!!!!!!!!
What I have observed, McCain performs scandelous deals and acts improper. He also, has "poor judgment".
The Washington Post reports, “Republican presidential candidate John McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is an ethics reformer under an ethics investigation that is plowing through private domestic matters. Palin is under investigation to determine whether she pressured and then fired the state police chief in July because he refused to dismiss her former brother-in-law. At the time, the governor's younger sister was involved in a bitter divorce and child custody dispute with the man, a state trooper. A bipartisan committee of the state legislature voted unanimously to hire a retired prosecutor to investigate. His report is due in October.”
More of: “Gov. Palin's husband, Todd Palin, met with Monegan [the fired state police chief] in January 2007, a month after his wife took office, to say that the trooper was unfit for the force. Monegan also said the governor sent him e-mails, but Monegan declined to disclose them, saying he planned to give them to the independent prosecutor. Palin initially denied that she or anyone in her administration had ever pressured Monegan to fire Wooten. She said she had raised the matter with Monegan just once, relaying the allegation that Wooten made a death threat against her father. But this summer, Palin acknowledged that a half-dozen members of her administration had made more than two dozen calls on the matter to various state officials
And did you know: “Monegan, 57, a former chief of the Anchorage Police Department, said in an interview Friday that during his 19 months on the job the governor repeatedly mentioned Wooten but ‘never directly asked me to fire him.’ Monegan said Todd Palin told him that Wooten ‘shouldn't be a trooper.’ ‘I've tried to explain to him,’ Monegan said, ‘You can't head-hunt like this. What you need to do is back off, because if the trooper does make a mistake, and it is a terminable offense, it can look like political interference. I think he's emotionally committed in trying to see that his former brother-in-law is punished.’”
