Didn't he vote against requiring insurance carriers to cover BC on prescription policies?

Whatever happened to the new "Political" board? Did the board and the idea itself just go down in flames, or does it actually exist?

Obama is a serious class act for what he said about the whole situation. He won points with me on that.

He did vote against a bill that required that, but all the sites that note this do not show a link to the full bill. I would like to see it to see the whole situation. Either way, its not like any of us ever agree with any candidate fully. Well other than raider-13.

That was good on his part, I dont think Mccain would stoop that low either though.

I thought that at first too then I read the article that outlined why she thought the trooper should be fired:
<ul>[*]Drinking on the job[*]Poaching moose[*]Tasering a 10 year old for fun because the kid asked for it[/list]
So now I dont know what to think really about that particular "scandal" (I'm not really FOR Palin to begin with....) </div></div>
So I guess all of that wa OK until he divorced her sister?

[imported_elp6n]

I dont know what order those things happened in - which came first.

Like I said - i'm not necessarily for Palin to begin with, but reading the whole story makes me wonder about that particular event.

[Diets17]

I find a lot of that really hard to believe. About what the cop did, that is. It seems like a fishy situation to me.

If you'll look back up the thread a bit, you'll see that all of this has been covered.

The trooper had threathened to kill her father and had been reported by neighbors as being abusive and dangerous.

The man who was fired (Monegan) admits that Palin only mentioned the troopers name (Wooten) to him twice and one of those times was after being prompted to name any potential security threats. A man who works as a state trooper and has threatened to kill your father on more than one occasion is a security risk.

Monegan also admits to repeatedly refusing to cut costs after being told to do so by Palin who is his boss. No abuse of power here. In fact if you were governor and a trooper had said he was going to kill a close member of your family, and had been heard to say this by several reliable sources I'd bet he would no longer be a trooper.

In fact he is clearly a loose cannon and needs to be fired and watched very closely.

I just think it's strange that everyone seems to "know" the facts...it'll all come out now I guess tho.
