RUSH: Now, Troopergate. Touched on it just a little bit earlier. Here is an AP headline: ‘John McCain Campaign Tries to Quell ‘Troopergate.” It\u2019s by Gene Johnson. No, Gene, you are a complicit member of distortion and lies in the Drive-By Media. The headline is: ‘McCain Tries to Get Truth Out About Bogus Troopergate.\u2019 In fact, it\u2019s not even Troopergate. We ought to call it Tasergate. It\u2019s Tasergate. Sarah Palin has issued a response to all of this, this investigation of Tasergate. She released internal memos that show that Walt Monegan — he\u2019s the commissioner — got fired for insubordination on budget matters and not because of his refusal to fire Palin\u2019s former brother-in-law. Monegan went behind Palin\u2019s back to attempt to revive a project that Palin had vetoed, which stunned the Office of Management and Budget director. On another occasion, Monegan held a press conference with Hollis French to dissent from Palin\u2019s budget priorities, the same Hollis French that\u2019s pushing the ethics complaint against Palin. <\/p>\n

Now, according to papers filed by Palin\u2019s legal team, this was not the only instance of insubordination from Monegan. On December 9th of \u201907 Monegan held a press conference with Hollis French to push his own bulletin plan. On January 29th of this year, Palin\u2019s staffers had to rework their procedures to keep Monegan from bypassing normal channels for budget requests. In February of this year, Monegan publicly released a letter he wrote to Palin supporting a project that she had vetoed. And in June 26th, Monegan bypassed the governor\u2019s office entirely, contacted Alaska\u2019s congressional delegation to gain funding for a project. Clear insubordination. I\u2019m telling you what this is. This is just the Alaska old boys network trying to take the girl out. She wasn\u2019t going to run the state the way they had been running it. The old boy network was not going to be able to dictate what was going on, and they wanted to take out the girl. They\u2019re still trying to take out the girl. Republicans and Democrats, in some cases working together in Alaska to take her out, just before this election, and then they\u2019ll go back to bickering with themselves once this is all settled. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, Sarah Palin, in Golden, Colorado, yesterday, guess where Obama is today? Golden, Colorado. Obama is following her around and he\u2019s running against McCain. ‘Sarah Palin yesterday said that she would concentrate on energy, government reform, and helping families with special needs children if the Republicans win the White House. She drew cheers when she said, ‘Too often government\u2019s the problem rather than the solution.\u2019 Campaigning on her own, she also said the Democrat presidential candidate, Obama, wants to raise income taxes, raise payroll taxes, raise investment income taxes and raise business taxes, also raise the death tax, and she said that\u2019s not how you grow the economy.\u2019 She\u2019s exactly right. But three things, three things very simple, just like who? Ronaldus Magnus. He had three legs on his stool: military, cutting taxes, and wipe out the Soviets. Hers are energy, government reform, and helping families with special needs children. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
