Again, which relevant facts were you cahallenging before implying that everyone here is a confused idiot?

Try addressing the actual, relevant facts and then people might not take such offense.

I disagree with your last statement. You and others will find a way to be offended and make any post or position all about me no matter what is said.

Okay, no evidence has been suggested as credible that the commissioner was fired because of the trooper. Any news report I have seen says that the commissioner also disagreed that he was fired for that reason. He stated that he felt pressure, but not directly from Palin. I believe Palin had an absolute right to fire the guy FOR not firing the trooper, even if this were true. Palin had reason to believe that the trooper was a real creep and that he shouldn't be on the force. The commissioner had no business being in public office, unless somehow the charges against him involving his wife were not true, or that he had talen appropriate steps such as counseling to ensure such outbursts would never occur again. I am well aware that a lot of women lie about things like this and that I shouldn't just jump to the conclusion that it had happened, but there appears to be no statement from the commissioner contradicting the report. Also, the police ARE a good 'ole boys club and too often bad cops are allowed to remain on the beat. I think the whole charge is a political witchhunt, where even if the allegations were true, it's a very small issue that doesn't really deserve the kind of attention it is getting. If I were in her shoes, I probably would have done a lot more. I support her decisions to dodge the investigation at this point because it has certainly become something very different than it was at the time she said essentially "bring it on". Also considering the statements of one of the members of the state senate committee that he intended the results to be an "October Surprise", it is no longer an investigation about her actions, but it has morphed into some kind of Kenneth Starr like investigation meant to bring down a politician more than find any truth in a possible misconduct investigation. The investigation has become politicised on a national level and in no way bears any resemblance to what it started out as being.

Happy now?!
