		<description>Bait and Switch. Have we learned nothing in the last eight years? I believe this to be little more than another look at the side-show everybody while they set up their next move. That move will be &quot;brother Jeb&quot;, mccain and palin are repub throw-aways. Just listen to them &quot;we&#039;re outsiders&quot; yes they are and thats their problem. They will be discarded in a D.C. minute come Wednesday. Romney wishes he was next up. Not going to happen this shit stays in the family (bush) they&#039;re just taking a couple of years off.</description>

		<description>Anne, gotta open your eyes...

&quot;Sarah Palin has a great track record&quot;

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!  That is the funniest thing I have read today.

1. Understands the energy problem (by pushing &quot;socialst&quot; tax policies), 2. Positive experience with a state budget (too bad about that $23 million deficit she left in Wasilla), 3. Pro military (she can see Russia!! Woo-HOO! that&#039;s about it, kittenz), 5. Will help create jobs for Americans (orly?), 6. Family values (by telling women what they can and cannot do with their bodies, making rape victims pay for testing and cutting funding for special needs children), 7. Is accountable to the public (by refusing to cooperate in state-sanctioned investigations of her myriad of ethical lapses) Is an open book (maybe of the &quot;pop-up&quot; variety; and see &quot;accountable&quot; above).  

But oh PULLLEEEEZZE have Palin run for President again and again and again.  She&#039;d be today&#039;s Eugene V. Debs.  What with her apparent illiteracy, her myriad of ethical lapses, her disdain for science/reality, her loopy religious beliefs, she&#039;d be the &quot;gift that keeps on giving&quot; and would assure the shrieking harpies of the right wander the wilderness for decades to come.  

I cannot wait.</description>

		<description>Sarah Palin will be a money machine, for the Democratic Party.

The notion that she has anywhere near the talent of the Governor of MN is mind blowing, but regardless, keeping her out front is the best thing the Democratic Party could hope for.</description>

		<description>And well her management problems:

Sarah Palin’s portray herself as a fiscal conservative when she ran the city of Wasilla, Alaska, as its mayor from 1996 to 2002.  However, the truth is very different: during her 6 years as mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over 33 percent. 

According to figures provided by the city of Wasilla, the operating budget for Wasilla went from $6,050,160 in fiscal year 1996 to $9,393,768 in 2002. That’s a 55 percent increase. 

Her huge increase in taxes weren’t enough to fund everything on her wish list though; borrowed money was needed, too.  

The fiscal year ending 1996 (when Palin took the reins), which showed the city’s long-term debt at $1.12 million, mostly for paving and sewer projects.  The annual financial report for fiscal year ending June 30, 2002 — Palin’s last year in office — shows that the total long-term debt was $24.8 million.  Long-term debt increased $23.7 million.  

From $1.1 million to $23.7million  –  that is one large increase.

She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $23 million.  What did Mayor Palin encourage the voters to borrow money for?  Was it the infrastructure that she said she supported?  The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked?  Or a new library?  

No!    $1 million for a park, $15 million-plus for construction of a multi-use sports complex...She also supported bonds for $5.5 million for road projects that could have been done in 5-7 years without any borrowing.

Ms. Palin ordered city employees not to talk to the press. And she used city money to buy a white Suburban for the mayor’s use — employees sarcastically called it the mayor-mobile.


OOOHHH, THOSE REPUBLICAN ECONOMICS…GOLLY GEE</description>

		<description>but then, too, is her commuinism: 

During the oil crisis of 2007, Palin fought to raise taxes on oil companies.  As fuel prices skyrocketed in the lower 49 states, Palin complained that her state wasn&#039;t getting its share of the windfall.  She successfully pushed for a law that raised taxes on oil profits.  The increase amounted to an estimated $1.6-billion annually more for the state: double the amount it received the year before.  Then she gave the money to the people.

It’s true: we&#039;ve already checked her claim that she sent &quot;a large share of that revenue directly back to the people of Alaska.&quot;

On Aug. 7, 2008, the Alaska Legislature approved a measure she promoted. The administration of Alaska&#039;s governor Sarah Palin now gives $1,200 to every single Alaskan.  This comes to about $741-million for state residents.  In addition, each resident will receive an annual dividend of $2,000 from an oil-wealth savings account. That comes to about $741-million for state residents

For a family of 7 (Gov. Palin has 7 members in her family) that means an additional $22,400.00 in income sent from the state of Alaska.  WOW, who needs a job!  Back to the trailer, Billy Bob!

That&#039;s a fancy way of describing wealth redistribution, i.e., downright communism.  And that is real change we can believe in.  Will she do the same for the Lower 49 states?

Well, in my state I want to know why Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn&#039;t got those big fact checks from the oil companies for every citizen of California.  What&#039;s wrong with him?   Common Arnie, get us on that gravy train, too.</description>

		<description>Dear Quicksand,

Her only problem is her intelligence.  And since you fail to recognize that (as do many others in your party) then you need to call your schools and demand they repay you for any money spent on your educations.

Here is a big one:

“The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government… And I won’t be buried under their damn flag,” - Joe Vogler in 1991, Founder of the Alaska Independence Party.....“I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I&#039;ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.&quot;

Sarah Palin’s husband, Todd, was a member the Alaskan Independence Party, a radical group working for Alaskan secession from the United States.  Todd Palin registered in October 1995 to the Alaska Independence Party and remained a member until 2002, when he registered as undeclared while his wife ran for political office.   She is more than sympathetic to the cause of secession; she sleeps with a man who is committed to the idea of destroying the unity of the United States.  

Sarah Palin and &#039;first dudes&#039; political alliance with a terrorist who was murdered in 1993 during “a plastic explosives sale gone bad.”  Todd Palin joined the party two years later.  Neither Sarah nor Todd were 9 years old at the time.

Dexter Clark, vice chairman of the A.I.P.: refers to the American soldiers in Alaska as &quot;occupying troops.&quot; Michael Hill, a representative of A.I.P., stated on Glen Beck’s program that the goal of the A.I.P. “is to dissolve the United States and the Constitution.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwvPNXYrIyI

Sarah congratulates the secession party only 6 months ago on their political gains.  

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Joe+Vogler+&amp;hl=en&amp;emb=0&amp;aq=-1&amp;oq=#

WOOOOOOO, THIS IS SCARY!!!

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Joe+Vogler+&amp;hl=en&amp;emb=0&amp;aq=-1&amp;oq=#q=Joe%20Vogler%20&amp;hl=en&amp;emb=0&amp;aq=-1&amp;oq=&amp;start=10

Her pastor knows how evil America is and often preaches that America will be punished: a cause dear to the heart of evangelicals everywhere (see, John Hagee, a man with high level contacts with politicians in Washington DC).   Listen below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PizrJLV30yI&amp;feature=related

Now, with her elected as VP just we can realize the Republic of Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, the Republic of California and the Republic of Alaska.  The time has come elect a subversive that has pulled the eyes over the political system of the U. S. establishment.</description>

		<description>&gt; Someone must STOP you idiots. Why is Governor Palin treated like an alien to you people.
&gt; Her only crime is not seeking approval from the liberal media prior to accepting VP position.
&gt; So, get off your high horse and stop picking on Sarah.

Except for that OTHER crime, of course, violation of Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a).  Where is that statute regarding consultation with the liberal media, anyway?</description>
