That's great except you forgot to mention that the personal board is appointed by Governor Palin. If you were the boss and you wanted your employees to investigate you for wrongdoing, you would expect them to do what, exactly? Secondly, in the eyes of the public, she looks like she has something to hide by not cooperating and initially, she welcomed the investigation. And there's the fact that the Republican legislature is being sued to stop it. That, is fishy at best.

 

What do you want me to comment on?

 

@bolded,

Did you even read it?

It doesn't matter who appointed the board, its called the LAW.  You don't just ignore it because you don't like it. In the eyes of the public it looks shady that the guy who is leading the legislative investigation (Hollis French) was part of the reason Monegan got fired, and it looks shady that he was declaring what he would find before the investigation ever started...now those are things you actually forgot to mention. 

You don't have to comment on any of it, not responding speaks for itself, I just wanted to give you the opportunity to respond before I assume you have nothing more to add to those issues.

 

I've already admitted my mistake in an earlier post. I've been here for 2 hours talking to you and I am a bit tired. A Republican control board approved the investigation and if they have such a problem with French, why don't they just torpedo the investigation? As I've mentioned, the Legislature is being sued to stop. And you're right, I've been arguing with you guys for a long time and I like to take a break.

 

 

I can't post and read comments at the same time, I had no way of knowing you had already been called on that.

As for the rest of it I think you have a pretty weak case if you're suggesting that they shouldn't follow the law because you don't like it.  Their report and investigation will have plenty of scrutiny during and after the fact.  Declaring the board to be biased before looking into the members is silly, perhaps if you could show a connection between at least one of them  you might have at least something to stand on..but right now your position seems to be that we should ignore the law just because you don't like it.  If thats not what you're saying then please elaborate.

On the issue of taking a break, feel free, you don't have to responrd immediately or even ever.  This isn't debate jail or anything, I'm planning on going to dinner soon myself anyways =)

The point of this scandal is that her lack of cooperation makes it seem like she has something to hide from the public. She welcomed the investigation from them in the first place. Who's not following the law, as if the investigation is illegal, it would have been shut down. somebody would find a way. And then came all of the refusals to testify and then she decided to ask the board to investigate her way after. If I was a voter, and I am, that would be one of the reasons as to why I might not want her to be president. I don't care so much as to whether Obama or McCain becomes president despite what I've been posting but when Palin became his runningmate, I swung the other way. Now, I going to actually take a break. By everyone.
