@Sqrl, well then, if the guy is a drunk who drinks in his squad car and tazered her nephew and whatnot, then why didn't he get fired before the divorce?

Did you bother to read what I wrote?  Read it again, then respond.  I quite clearly called them allegations and pointed out the need for more information. Jumping to conclusions about what I've wrote and then asking me to defend them is not a platform for a reasoned debate.

Perhaps with a timeline of events as they are alleged, and an understanding of what went on behind the scenes of any possible charges or IA investigations into those charges I could answer that question.  But without those things I would be taking a stab in the dark, as would you.

Yes I  read what you wrote.

Okay, I read it again.  Nothing changed.

Oh crap, the post I'm quoting just doubled in size within the time I was reading your last post and hit Quote.

 

I said "if" and was asking a hypothetical.  If somebody's drunk on the job, you fire them before there's family drama.  If they're not drunk on the job, you don't make up a bunch of crap after there's family drama.  I don't know what happened, but the other guy they fired says they called him 24 times to pressure him to fire Wooten, and Palin's husband has already admitted to pressuring the guy to fire Wooten.  I'll just leave it at this: "It's fishy as hell."  I'll reserve judgment beyond how fishy it is until October, unless there's a big break in the case and more shit hits the fan.

And since McCain didn't vet her at all, he didn't know she had a private lawyer to defend her during the investigation.

The investigation is due to file their report on October 31st.  It's like McCain picked the candidate based on the biggest surprise right before we vote.  Or it's like he said, he just had a gut feeling that she was his soul mate.

 

The very essence of my point was that we should not fall into the trap you are falling into...and this isn't the first time you've done that..but I won't bring up old threads.

In this case we have even less information and yet you still want to press forward to a conclusion for some reason.  Fine, then please find the following information (note that we will need all of it):  when the divorce happened, when the tazer incident happened, when the drinking in the squad car happened, when the death threat happened, when the first attempt at firing happened, when any and all subsequent attempts at firing happened, phone records and emails regarding those firing related correspondance, when she fired the PSC,  what the circumstance of the divorce were, some corroboration on the issue of whether she even tried to get the cop fired to begin with (it is only an allegation at this point), etc...etc...etc...

Once you get that information (and probably even more than that) we can draw a valid conclusion, before then its all a political game to demonize first and worry about the damage later. 

PS - I like you a lot more outside of politics.
