Why did Sarah Palin fire a state official?

Question

who refused to dismiss a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce and child custody battle with her sister?

Answer 1

There must have been more to the story.

Answer 2

It also has to do with his refusal to work in the budget she allotted him.    She offered him another job but he refused.

Answer 3

Her firing the state official had nothing to do with her sister's situation. You should read more about her, before you jump to conclusions.

Answer 4

She likes him??? Do you like her?? Saucy stuff.

But as a solid Republican I'm devastated at the ticket. A wacky old dude as President and a woman with questionable credentials as a Vice President. This is horrible and I pray these clowns are defeated so we could start from scratch.

What happened to the Republican Party that I loved?

Answer 5

I smell democrat desperation.

Answer 6

Because it's her job to fire people who are not doing the job correctly?  You don't have your facts straight.  She didn't fire her brother in law (who had divorced her sister many years before this situation).  She fired the police commissioner (who, of course was her brother-in-law's boss) becasue he wasn't doing the job properly.  It had nothing to do with the brother-in-law.  

  Sorry...there's no scandal to be had here!

Answer 7

Something tells me there's more to this story than what you heard on MSNBC or CNN or wherever you get your "news"
