Sesilia, as a former cop you seem to be drawing some harsh conclusions regarding this trooper.Have you heard his side of the story,or are you just accepting as fact all that he is accused of.It seems to me someone could have made the Gov.of Alaska very happy if they could have found legitimate reasons to fire this man....that has not happened....

And you are still running away from the question as to why a labor union would commit or cover up such criminal actions for a Republican who wasn't even Governor at the time? 
Seems like you fell into your usual ad homs about the time that the link to the union saying that the trooper was treated fairly was brought up.  Or did you start them after if was pointed out that saying the trooper had already been fired was a false hood?

Remember when Bush nominated Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court?

Frankly, though, I'm not with the CAMP who values experience above all else. To me, youth, energy, new ideas, and promise have much going for it. I'm interested to see what Palin's got.

BTW what happened to the blue wall ,is that just for the lower 48?

slvemike4u *grin* the blue wall, I survived my career and can now luxuriate in my retirement if I so choose. The blue wall isn't always in play, sometimes it stays up because some other schmuck is also in deep with the accused and keeps his mouth shut because he also will go down. Sometimes the blue wall stays up because someone has a hardon for an officer and the others in blue will protect that person. I guess it depends on the situation.

Sounds better than no morals and a copy of Das Kapital.

I bet you've never read Das Kapital, if so, pray tell me why unthinking conservative morals, a belief ancient writings as being sacred is somehow better than a philosophical treatise which is rightfully classed as a masterpiece?

I keep going?... you might want to scroll up to post # 78 and read the name attached there... 

This tired old tactic of bringing up falsehoods and spin as facts and running away when proven wrong, only to bring them up again isn't made more honest by refusing to answer questions while accusing others of things they never posted ( just as it isn't honest when practiced by the Obama bashers).  But if that's what you've got to bring to the table, go for it.

I have read Das Kapital, in fact.

Masterpiece?  Of flawed historical analysis, maybe.  Otherwise mostly mush.

Thanks for beating me to it Thadius :)

slvemike4u, I try to make it a point to avoid the bullshit that gets tossed around and wont comment on something I lack knowledge in...

The internal personnel investigation began in April 2005, long before Palin became governor and months before her October 2005 announcement that she was running. The investigation into [former trooper Michael] Wooten wrapped up in March 2006.
Troopers found four instances in which Wooten violated policy, broke the law, or both:
- Wooten used a Taser on his stepson
- He shot a moose without a permit, which is illegal. At the time he was married to McCann, who has a permit but never intended to shoot it herself.
- He drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion.
- He told others that his father-in-law - Palin's father, Chuck Heath - would "eat a f'ing lead bullet" if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.

The most important thing the Palin selection says about McCain:

He plays to win.

Yep. A gamble, just like I said. Fun at the casino; dangerous for the nation.

You haven't take into account (nor did the article) the number of hours/days worked by individuals, any bonus or other compensation, job description or any of the other criteria which would clearly indicate a discriminatory pay scale. They simply compiled data from a site and presented it. I present that same data to anyone who cares to do their own homework. Good luck since you aren't going to get any further indication of what went into the salaries of these folks which will prove or disprove anything other than.. what salaries they were paid in a given time frame. For those who check, you'll note several people with salaries in the 2 - 3K range for both candidates but without knowing the source, time, hours worked, job descriptions etc, they mean basically, zilch.
