So people in Palin's town tried to get her recalled as mayor??

Oh, yeah, THIS if the attitude we need in the WH. :puke: :sarcasm:
And we won't have the luxury of trying to get her recalled (like some townspeople tried).

Anyone that doesn't agree with you, get rid of 'em. And actions speak louder than words..she doesn't want to be surrounded by yes men, yet she is the first to fire the no men?
And can you see her rolling her eyes and making faces at meetings with world leaders if she and McCain don't get their way??

Palin has cited her mayoral work as a central part of her qualification to serve as governor. But at the beginning of her term, asked by the local newspaper how she would run the city without experienced department heads, she made the job sound like no big deal: "It's not rocket science. It's $6 million and 53 employees."


"I went through a lot with the press, with the legislative body, and it was rough with a staff who didn't want to be there working with a new boss," she says. "I learned you've got to be very discerning early on and decide if you can win them over or not. If you can't, you replace them early on." She added that she doesn't want to be surrounded by yes-men.

After turning out the three-term incumbent, Palin brought in an outside attorney, with city funds, to advise on the transition. She asked for resignation letters from six top department heads, saying they'd signed a letter supporting their former boss. She fired two of them -- the police chief and the museum director -- but within a year two others had quit. With the local newspaper, the Frontiersman, upset about the uproar, a citizens group started meeting to discuss a recall of the new mayor. The idea was eventually dropped.


A number of other disputes flared up and died down in the first year. The Frontiersman, which sparred with Palin frequently at first, accused her of rolling her eyes and making faces at city council meetings when she heard testimony she didn't like.

1. More evidence that she wasn't seriously vetted. More evidence that this

is a knee jerk, irresponsible decision on McCain's part.

Thanks for posting.

3. Who is pulling McCain's strings?

I don't believe this choice was his.

2. Lots of detail about her in the story at the link - how the Repugs have been grooming her for a long

time, various and sundry scandals and controversies, etc.
This story needs to get around...

5. Ah, another thing she has in common with McCain ...

... bad temperament.
