Leave Sweet Palin alone

.

Doggone it, the media has to be filtered; it is so disrespectful of the MSM to publish stories like these about a future president. If a joe-sixpack like me, or a hockey-mom like my wife, had our way, these predators would be raising a white flag of surrender. I report, you decide:

 

• Alaska judge orders state to preserve Palin's e-mails: A judge has ordered the state of Alaska to preserve any government-related e-mails that Gov. Sarah Palin sent from private accounts. "It's a dereliction of the governor and her duties," she said. The judge ordered the attorney general to contact Yahoo and other private carriers to preserve any e-mails sent and received on those accounts. If the e-mails were destroyed when the accounts were deactivated, he directed state officials to have the companies attempt to resurrect the e-mails.
• Panel finds Palin abused her power in safety official's firing: Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain. The investigation revealed that Palin's husband, Todd, has extraordinary access to the governor's office and her closest advisers. He used that access to try to get trooper Mike Wooten fired, the report found. Branchflower faulted Sarah Palin for taking no action to stop that. He also noted there is evidence the governor herself participated in the effort.
• For Palin, some pork is kosher: Palin over the years has approved billions of taxpayer dollars for discretionary projects, including some to which she had personal, political or parochial connections. From the $25,000 for the Juneau Christian Center to $2 million for an academic conference meant to dispel the broadly-accepted idea that climate change is threatening polar bears (she actually preferred the money be used for the state’s lawsuit arguing the bears shouldn’t be listed as threatened) to $630,000 for a kitchen in a hockey arena complex the self-described hockey mom built during her second term as Wasilla’s mayor, Palin has tended to approve line items in Alaska’s capital budget — essentially the state version of federal earmarks — for projects favored by her and her supporters.
• Meet Sarah Palin’s radical right-wing pals: Extremists Mark Chryson and Steve Stoll helped launch Palin’s political career in Alaska, and in return had influence over policy. “Her door was open,” says Chryson — and still is. Chryson belongs to a fringe political party, one that advocates the secession of Alaska from the Union. “The Alaskan Independence Party has got links to almost every independence-minded movement in the world,” Chryson exclaimed. “And Alaska is not the only place that’s about separation. There’s at least 30 different states that are talking about some type of separation from the United States.” 
• Todd Palin, Longtime Former AIP Member: Gail Fenumiai, director of the Alaska Division of Elections, says that Palin's husband Todd was a member of the AIP from October 1995 through July 2002, except for a few months in 2000. He is currently undeclared. At least two AIP officials recall Gov. Palin attending the 1994 convention, though she says she did not attend.

 
And I'm tired of the rubbish posted on YouTube linking her to the AIP
