Looking further, Before Palin was elected and got involved, the head of the troopers wtote of Wooten that "The record clearly indicates a serious and concentrated pattern of unacceptable and at times, illegal activity occurring over a lengthy period, which establishes a course of conduct totally at odds with the ethics of our profession." <BR/><BR/>I found this information at the Washington Post, form its staff writers. The Post is generally considered to be a litte left of center, not a right wing Palin apologist organization.<BR/><BR/>I don't think there is anything bad about trying to get a bad cop fired. All Palin issues aside, I find it troubling that the Alaska State Troopers would knowingly leave someone known for illegal activity on the force. Were they that desparate for troopers that they had to keep known criminals?<BR/><BR/>(I noticed Snopes at the end of your list. I stopped using them after I noticed then to be rather biased on one question I looked up.

Plus some of my relatives are Republicans, (on the black sheep side of the family.) ;o) <BR/><BR/>Frankly, I don't know much about this financial mess, but the Republicans have had the power for over 6 of the 8 years, and things are a real mess. I don't think that the liberals can be blamed when they weren't even in power. I watch the political shows on T.V. & they tend to lay the blame for this mess on both parties. Maybe they are right. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I have recently found fact checkers, and just love them. There is so much B.S. going on, I feel like Tom Cruse in that movie...."Just give me the facts!" If you look at my past political posts you will see that we have had some good discussions here. As long as people are kind, and respectful of each other. I have even disagreed with some Democrats who I feel have stray way from the facts in order to defend Obama. I feel that since my vote is based on issues then I need to be informed of the facts. <BR/><BR/>And, no I won't slap you. I'm sorry, I'm just not into that. ;o)<BR/><BR/>P.S.

"All liberal driven ways of creating chaos in the housing market".<BR/>The bailout was not a bailout of greed ... it was bailout of government backed loans all along. I, and MANY conservatives had been warning people of the disasterous outcome of these GOVERNMENT backed junk loans for years. Liberals called these warnings insane, and in fact ...

The only cruel thing about them is the effect they are having on the entire world economy know.<BR/><BR/>I am sure this will not be a popular comment, but it is truth.<BR/><BR/>I should not talk politics in a comment form!!

I've hear from political analysts that Bill was our smartest president in recent history. Personally I think that he may have been our best. He made good on his promise, and got our deficit down to nothing. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't sure about Obama at first. He seemed to talk about change a lot, and to non-specific. But from the debates and such I've learned more about his plans, and they sound good to me. He's highly intelligent, and well organized. I think that he will do good, but your right.
