She is Bush, Cheney and Karl Rove all in one. Read about how she ran Alaska, and you'll see that what we're getting is most definitely 4 more years. Her governing style is so similar to Bush's that it sends chills down my spine.


In Office, Palin Hired Friends and Hit Critics
Interviews indicate a governing style that uses loyalty and secrecy

    So, she's going to reform Washington by hiring friends for jobs at salaries that greatly exceed the private sector wage? Some reform!

    This article was a must read this morning in The Washington Post called..As Mayor of Wasilla, Palin Cut Own Duties, Left Trail of Bad Blood.
    Palin took office as mayor in October 1996 with a show of force. She fired the museum director and demanded that the other department heads submit resignation letters, saying she would decide whether to accept them based on their loyalty, according to news reports at the time. She clashed with Police Chief Irl Stambaugh over his push for moving bar closing time from 5 a.m. to 2 a.m. and for his opposition to state legislation to allow people to carry guns in banks and bars.

    In notes that he took during a meeting in Palin's first week on the job, Stambaugh wrote that the new mayor told him "that the NRA didn't like me and that they wanted change," according to the Seattle Times, which reviewed the notes at a federal archive in Seattle. Stambaugh was fired on Jan. 30, 1997, partly, the mayor said, because he had not taken seriously her request for a weekly progress report "on at least two positive examples of work that was started, how we helped the public, how we saved the City money, how we helped the state, how we helped Uncle Sam." Stambaugh filed a wrongful-termination suit, which he lost.

    I would have fired the police chief, too. Attempting to limit liberties is a problem. A cop should be enforing laws, not trying to increase restrictions. He should have spent more time worry about hit duties. It is one of the few things I've read about Palin that I agree with her about. She's off her rocker in many ways, but right on the money on this issue.

    You think trying to make sure that people cannot bring loaded weapons into a bank has nothing to do with the duties of being a police chief? It's crime prevention as well, not just reaction.

    It isn't crime prevention. It is political. Police chiefs are always pulling this kind of shit. If they feel strongly about it, they should resign and run for the legislature.

    So, what? Palin was IAD too? Unless she had investigated and documented violations fully and properly, there's no way she should be pulling that kind of shit.

    I gather that's why they call McCain/Palin *Maverick* gunslingers huh.
