Is Troopergate more about the coverup by the McCain admin?

Question

Then it is about the abuse of power by Palin?

Answer 1

Ri, please, please don't say the words "McCain admin"... what a horrible thought.



The wannabe potus has shown his true Wrong Wing colors. Cover up. Are we back in the Nixon years or what?



The executive branch and judicial branch are supposed to be separate. Palin either doesn't know, or doesn't care, the power hungry harpy that she is. Hope she gets the boot and goes back to rolling in Bullwinkle's blood.



Have I mentioned that I don't like her?

Answer 2

Firstly (and I hate to do this, but this misapplication is so frustrating) the word is 'than'.



No, Troopergate is about an allegation of abuses of Power by the Governor of Alaska.



The current situation appears to be that the McCain camp has wrested control of the Governor's PR and is now the go-between on Alaskan matters of state.

Answer 3

YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF HATE MONGERS COMING UP WITH ANY CRAP YOU CAN BECAUSE IF U THROW ENOUGH SHITT

Something has to Stick....Just look at the facts..Law Enforcement Officer..pleaded guilty to having Alcohol in State owned vehicle [should have been dismissed..would have been here in the lower 48 also

admitted to tazing a 10 year old child......what part of this is so

difficult for you people to grasp.? Really its not hard, it is i know an alien concept to you people who wouldn't know the truth if it snuck up on ya, you can't recognize what your unfamiliar with..i understand that.

The truth is President McCain, oops i mean Nominee John McCain would be remiss if he didn't take steps to have this investigated to the

fullest, however Liberal dirty politics wont get in the way of His message of the real Leadership needed at this time in our history, this crap is just that and will be dealt with accordingly...We do not have the luxury of a lot of time, therefore the bigger issue is getting McCain

from the Senate into the White House...Then when the dust settles we

will deal with and prosecute who has to be held accountable, along with the dirty trick of the invasion of private e-mail by a Democrat , but that will be criminally charged,as will Charlie Wrangle at a later time .BUT AGAIN SO ITS

NOT TO HARD TO COMPREHEND FIRST THINGS FIRST...McCain/Palin 08

Answer 4

No, it's about Democrats that would rather let a state trooper get away with crimes no other would get away with, just because his former sister-in-law is on the Republican VP ticket.



Why do you always seem to forget the things that man did? Are they excused like they never happened? If anyone else dared do these things the left would be screaming for their blood. At protests you scream police brutality all the time when it doesn't occur, but now when it really happened it's ok as long as the one doing it will ruin Sarah Palin?

Answer 5

"Gates" are always more about the coverup than the crime. I think she may have had a valid reason or two for firing the Public Safety director, but I don't doubt that she abused her power in many other ways, and that the Republicans fear that this will come out during an investigation. There was an article in last week's New York Times that told how she hired a lot of unqualified cronies, and was overbearing in the way she tried to push her religious agenda into government.

Answer 6

Well right now, it's about Obama hindering an investigation. He is being investigated as we speak, if found guilty he can go to prison, not the White House. I guess that's what happens, when you try to dig up dirt on people. It blows up, in your ugly face. Democrat for McCain/Palin 2008.

Answer 7

It's a non-issue. The Trooper is still working as a trooper, and his boss was asked to change positions for insubordination, and not fired, the jerk just quit.



Please try to research before asking questions that really aren't questions, but statements.



There was NO abuse of power, that's just more Democrat BS.

Answer 8

What freeking coverup? This is just a bloody witch hunt. She didn't abuse her power. There is no evidence that supports this. How many of you people who post this ******* **** on Y!A work in the legal system and know how crap works in court cases?

Answer 9

Democrats pushing "Troopergate" are getting closer and closer to defending the records of two abusive men who have threatened family members and on occasion taken violent action towards them.



Alaska's former Public Safety Commisioner Walt Monegan and state trooper Mike Wooten both have a distrubing history of abuse. Monegan, of course, is the man who Democrats believe GOP vice presidential contender Sarah Palin improperly fired as Alaskan Governor and who is at the center of their controversial "Troopergate" inquiry. Wooten is Palin's former brother-in-law who Democrats think Palin unethically pressured Monegan to terminate.



Via the San Francisco Chronicle Monegan admitted dislocating his wife's shoulder "by accident" by "wrestling and tickling" her. His estranged wife, Georgene Moldovan, tells another story.



Moldovan sought a restraining order against him in 1994 after he threatened to kill her, waved a gun at her and knocked her shoulder out of socket, according to court papers. The court papers say: "he pulled out his gun and waved it at me outside my home and yelled he would kill me if I stopped him."



Moldovan told the SF Chronicle that Monegan "would show up unannounced and break into my apartment and do threatening things. I was forced to get a restraining order because I was really fearful he was going to harm me." She said he also threatened to throw her body into a cold, Alaskan river.



Monegan, for his part, said his ex-wife was telling "either half-truths or pure fabrications."



Governor Palin fired Monegan earlier this year for insubordination. Democrats have accused Palin of "abusing her power" in firing Monegan, who was a political appointee. The Alaskan legislature is now leading an ethics investigation to determine if Palin improperly fired Monegan.



Palin's foes say Palin really fired Monegan over his refusal to terminate trooper Wooten, not for his insubordination. Wooten recently ended a bitter marriage with Palin's sister, Molly.



Like Monegan, Wooten has a violent history with family members. He's admitted to “tasering” his stepson and has been accused of threatening to kill his former father-in-law, Palin's dad.
