All right, really simple. As you may know, Sarah Palin, "champion of smaller government and family values", and Republican nominee for vice-president, was just found guilty of ethics violations in pressuring her subordinates to fire her ex-brother-in-law, Mike Wooten… using the resources of the state to punish Wooten.
Now, imagine she gets elected to vice-president.
Is there a single person reading this who doesn’t think that Mike Wooten will be audited by the IRS?
What if he’s put on the no-fly list? In Alaska, that’s crippling– they fly everywhere in the state, plus to get to the continental 48, unless you want to drive for hours through Canada.
How about if Wooten has his passport file flagged? If that happens and he’s on the no-fly list, he’s effectively locked in Alaska permanently.
Is it out of the realm of possibility that his phone would be tapped and his email scrutinized?
Does anybody think that Sarah Palin wouldn’t use the powers of her office to continue going after Wooten? And if so, why would you let her get even close to that level of power?
And if she did get this power– what would stop her from using it on you if you crossed her?
