Panel: Palin abused power in trooper case

I think the words and/or terms "taser", "10 year old" and "responsibility to protect the citizenry" need to be said, as well.

Nice deflection, but this investigation wasn't about that, now was it?

It is of particular note that Palin and her family thought the taser incident was funny, as did the 10 year old who, oddly enough, wanted to do it again.

Trying to pull those "he's a bad guy!" strings. Sorry, but Wooten is not the actual focus of this investigation.

I thought hunters were good at staying on target.

...Another diversion...

FIX THE ECONOMY AND PROTECT OUR BORDERS.

Nothing else matters.

Palin has had experience guarding Alaska's borders against Russians, Canadians and stray wolf!!!:p

She's scary. And I don't know who is scarier. Her or McCain......I think "her".
She's a no-nonsense ***...if you piss her off, watch your back.

In degree, I think that kind of scary may be a necessary thing in dealing with foreign powers. My biggest concern with Obama is that foreign powers will think that they each will get a coupla free hits before having to worry about whether or not Obama will respond with force.

"Stop that or we'll have to talk" just doesn't work in the foreign policy world.

You don't know that. He hasn't said "Oh we'll just talk it out" if another attack like 9/11 hits. He'd respond swiftly, just as any president would.

What you don't like is his disagreement with preemptive strikes. That's a whole different can of worms.

sabz - I agree that he would not sit back on his hands, but I do think that the terrorists will feel less tense with Obama than a kick ass former POW at the helm. They are cheering for him on Al Jazeera - check if you wish, I'm to lazy to research it right now. He makes me very uncomfortable - not that the other side is any better, on balance.

Oh, please. Like mealy-mouth Bush did anything substantial, in the way of gunboat diplomacy. If there ever was a wuss, it would be him.
