Palin v. Political Punch

Republicans are only against the earmarks that they aren’t personally benefitting from, or if they have been requested by a member of the Democratic party.

John McCain’s opposition to earmarks only hurts the people of Arizona. He does not have a similar position on tax breaks for the wealthiest 1 per cent.

So are all the right wing hacks that screamed about suppression of dissent because Gibbs enjoyed the Cramer smackdown now gonna come to bat for dear old Jake?
Or will the love for Caribou Barbie conquer all?

William Ayers isn’t a terrorist, and he’s not pals with Obama. Got it.

“When the GOP refused to eat their own, as you dems do (Hillary Clinton- check & mate), you decided to try to eat her for the GOP.
I’m still waiting for one of you “independent thinkers” to actually THINK for a change.”
I always enjoy these little prepared quips and how completely unaware the writer seems of the contradictions

Gov.Palin is a fiscal conservative get over your high mantinence —.Only one person is hell bent on earmarks and that John OLD MAN MCCAIN.Leave the beautiful governor alone.

In our dreams reese. The Dems have it until atleast 2032, and beyond. Get use to it.

“If I were Palin, I’d replace the communications director.”
I just looked him up and apparently he has done this sort of personal chastising of reporters before
Today I wrote a post about Sarah Palin’s hiring practices and the fact that minorities need not apply. Well I heard from her communication director, Bill McAllister who is a black man. He also said that Palin signed the Juneteeth proclamation this year. So today I stand corrected and I thought the correction was worthy of its own post. Here is his comment:
That was some no named blogger.
In regards to Troopergate
An email he sent out
For those who might not have read the depositions, below is my memo to one reporter who claimed to have read them and found nothing remarkable. It seems that only one side of the story is being told. As professionals, I’d think you’d hate to see that.

Good post tho. Need to know if politicians words are being backed up their actions.

Oh, it’s on, Jake Tapper.
Imagine if in the White House we had Biden and Palin. The word “literally” would never recover.

Palin requests funding for 31 projects and she is made out to be an abuser of earmarks but Obama signs a spending bill with over 9,000 earmarks after promising to end earmark abuse and he is given a free ride?
Hopefully we can move the governor into the white house in 2012. She has managed to balance her states budget and was wise enough to put money into a rainy day fund that is now helping the people of her state during this difficult economic period. If only Obama was as forward looking and strategic in his decision making process.

I just looked him up and apparently he has done this sort of personal chastising of reporters before.
—————————————
Yuck, another thing Palin and Obama have in common.

I think mother jones is gonna be jealous you are receiving all the attention

Do Governors request earmarks??? I thought State Reps wrote the bills. This is news to me.

palin isn’t a hypocrite?… say it ain’t so

Mrs. Palin would have been great for the people – she understands that government is fool of flakes – She is right and has been right all along.
I have only one word to Mrs. Palin (Sorry) you deserved better from our country and McCain.
The media is bias and wrong on most everything – the major anchors should all be fired – losers all – what they say no longer matters for they can not to be trusted.
It is sad to see our country being hi-jack by these mean no nothing fools who READ the news put in front of them -

So a story bashing Sarah Palin? From ABC news? No way! Well it would have been nice if somewhere we could find at least one story that ABC news did about the current president breaking his promise about earmarks. Remember he told the American people when he was running for president that earmarks were evil and he would put an end to them. He would use a scalpel… Remember? But then he got elected and broke his promise. See, now that would have been a story. But ABC news would never do a news story about a subject so relevant and serious as president Obama breaking his word!

Wat to stick up for yourself against frontier hypocrisy, Jake.
Palin campaigned as the mortal enemy of earmarks, She is continuing to utilize them in bunches. That’s a big story.

There is confusion about the earmark process. There is nothing wrong with earmarks if they are made through a proper vetting process. The problem is, there is no vetting process. This is what needs to be reformed. Otherwise, politicians simply load up a bill with them because there is no way to monitor them unless the entire bill is voted against. Criticism should go to congressional leaders who let the rules, if there are any, to be ignored.
Glad to see you gave Palin her say, which was only fair becaus eof the one sided report yesterday.

Jake, you say you will point out “mixed messages” on both sides. I have a few stories that will point out some of that hypocracy.
1) Obama promising to bring an era of responsibility on the day he signed the 800 billion dollar, pork laden, stimulus plan.
2) Obama promising not to hire lobbyist but then ignoring that self imposed rule to hire four lobbyist so far.
3) Obama saying he would take a scalpal to any earmarks he finds
4) Obama promising to start a new era of bipartisanship and then dismissing the other party with his “I won” one-liner.
5) Obama saying that determining when life began was “above my pay grade” but then deciding that allowing the purposeful creation and then destruction of human embyos is perfectly fine.
The list could go on and on.

Jim Bob, You need to understand that not all earmarks are bad. She stated that she will do her best to stop the abuses of wasteful earmarks. Why do you have to cast her off as a beauty queen? Do you feel insecure about your own appearance?
McAllister said that for next year’s budget, Gov. Palin will only make eight requests, totaling $69 million, which will include “six ongoing federal appropriations and just two new projects: an upgrade at the Kodiak Missile Defense Facility, which is relevant to national security, and a bridge replacement critical to construction of the pending Alaska natural gas pipeline, also in the national interest.”

Gosh Jack don’t you remember? Palin only disputes earmarks when it is publically appealing for her to do so. So please don’t expect her to be “consisten” on this issue. When she was busy bashing Obama she was all about dogging him about taking earmarks for his state! so what is her malfunction? She just needs to shut her trapola and just take the money just like she knows she lobbied for! I wish we were all that stupid, but we’re not!

We’ve never hesitated to point out political mixed messages, on earmarks or other subjects, whether they come from Democrats such as President Obama (read HERE or watch HERE) or Republicans such as Gov. Palin.
We will continue to do so.
—————————–
Jake, how about an article on Obama’s claim to put every spending bill on the Internet five days before they are voted on. Of course, that somehow did not include the stimulus plan, which has added 800 billion dollars to our debt. Does that not meet the “mixed message” examples that you have committed yourself to exposing?

We’ve never hesitated to point out political mixed messages, on earmarks or other subjects, whether they come from Democrats such as President Obama (read HERE or watch HERE) or Republicans such as Gov. Palin.

****************************************
Well I am waiting for the continue to do so. Lets start with those who entered earmarks and are using it as a political football, saying Obama should Veto the bill, or voting against the Bill, knowing full well that it would pass. It is all Political BS
To be honest I do not care about earmarks they have there place in our political process. I think that people really are not against them just against those in other districts.

GetOffMyLawns! — she never said she was against earmarks!! She said she is against the abuses in the earmark system. Earmarks are taxpayer money being returned to the states to benefit the people. I, as a taxpayer, want some of those federal dollars to flow to all the states. I just want it to be done in a fair and equitable manner — that’s the position Palin takes on earmarks. She never said the system should be done away with, she said it should be fixed. Washington needs to fix it, and Palin isn’t in Washington!
I don’t understand why people like you feel the need to distort the facts in an effort to prove a point?

We’ve never hesitated to point out political mixed messages, on earmarks or other subjects, whether they come from Democrats such as President Obama (read HERE or watch HERE) or Republicans such as Gov. Palin.

Joe Biden said that paying your taxes if you are rich is a “patriotic duty”. Yet, Obama has allowed Timmy into his cabinet even though he obviously was not as patriotic as he should have been.
Does that not meet the “mixed message” examples that you have committed yourself to exposing?

Tom, Tom Tom, Did you read the article? “51 earmark requests for the FY 2008 budget, totaling $256 million; and 31 requests totaling $197 million, for the FY 2009 budget” All of a sudden she got religion with the earmarks with 6. That’s rich. Oink … Oink.

Here are the top 10 earmarks in the omnibus spending bill..
1. Thad Cochran, R-Miss.: $474 million
2. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.: $391 million
3. Mary Landrieu, D-La.: $332 million
4. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa: $292 million
5. David Vitter, R-La.: $249 million
6. Christopher Bond, R-Mo.: $248 million
7. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.: $235 million
8. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii: $225 million
9. Richard Shelby, R-Ala.: $219 million
10. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa: $199 million
6 out of the 10 including the top 2 are from republicans and at least 3 of these people voted against the bill knowing full well that it would pass anyway.

I find Obama’s approach to governance to be devoid of anything that champions the values of hard work, persistence, or self motivated responsibility. No government will survive much less thrive if it has its basis in class envy, the culture of need, the culture of expecting something for nothing, and the culture of transferring responsibility for success to a governmental agency.
Governor Palin understands this. In spite of the attempt by Jake and other so called journalist to denigrate her, Governor Palin will make a great contrast to the failures Obama creates over the next four years when she runs in 2012.

Jake, you missed the point on this. Palin has been consistent on the issue in her rhetoric and her actions. I respect your reporting, and I think that you’re usually fair to both sides. But on this issue, I think that you’re wrong and that you’ve refused to see it.
Hope you have a great weekend.

Jake, I think you could do all Americans a favor by fairly comparing the successes or failures that both Obama and Governor Palin have over the next four years. I suspect that Governor Palin’s success in Alaska will far outweigh the results that Obama produces.

Palin said she was against abuse of earmarks. Has she abused earmarks? Impossible to know from Tapper’s story.
How does she compare to other governors, or to previous Alaska governors? Also impossible to know, Tapper and his buddies at Mother Jones can’t be bothered to do the reporting.

Witless from Wasilla just won’t quit. No surprise. The media spotlight can be truly addictive. Once, Sen. McCain ran over me because I was standing between he and a t.v. camera.

Bear, Please explain to me this. Who started this blog entry? Was it Governor Palin to gather attention?
No.

I think, technically, it is an “earmark” if some member of Congress specifies that certain funds go to a specific project.
I do not believe that when governors of the various states make budget requests of the federal government that those requests have anything to do with what we think of as “earmarks.
You can read the definition of “earmarks” as explained by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) at: http://earmarks.omb.gov/earmarks_definition.html

Gov Palin is a hypocrite with a capital H on many issues. Did you see her sarahpac letter where she says shevis doing “bold” things for gov reform and personal freedom? It is a joke! She is not for personal freedom when it comes to womens choice. And what bold things has she done? For a great perspective on the REAL Sarah palin do a search for the Mudflats blog.

To the Palin supporters:
Does the truth matter at all to any of you? Is there nothing you can learn about Palin which will change your mind?
Apparently not. I’m a conservative mom, but I ain’t buying what she’s selling.
She’s Obama with better legs and a little lipstick.

I wish the media’s payroll was funded by the people and not politicians. Then the reporting might be fair, even handed and maybe even truthful.Find something newsworthy to report; this sure isn’t it.

I’m an Alaskan and I see this sort of crap everyday. Palin sticks her hoof in her mouth then blames everyone else. I can’t figure out which is worse-the fact she’s run our state into the ground or the ignorance of the Republican party that carries her around on a pedistal. The truth is she’s nothing more than a hillbilly governor who hasn’t a clue about anything she is supposed to know.

Jake..you are a sexist jerk!
“”Earmarks are bad, unless their mine.”
is that Obama they are speaking of?
Grow a spine and actually make a trip to Alaska if you really want to do a story of the Palins. But that would require true journalism skills.

There was a report the other day of communities still paying $ 6.00 per gallon for gas in Alaska, who still shop groceries by mail and are completely crushed by the economic downturn. But the Gov would rather cling to being fiscally conservative with so much suffering?
Sounds like criminal negligence from her and everyone else including the Fed Gov

This woman is a nut case.NO she stil has the clothes as of now.Her daughter was a thing to use during the election just like all her other kids. If the press backs off maybe she would go away /….

“Grow a spine and actually make a trip to Alaska if you really want to do a story of the Palins. But that would require true journalism skills.”
I sounds like you’ve never seen a Sarah Palin interview. I’m sure Jake has no fears.

“..when you all try bashing Palin for hunting turkey..”
It doesn’t have much to do with HUNTING turkeys, it has to do with having a television interview with someone strangling them in the background.

Jake,
It was a cheap shot. You know it, you did it anyway. Get over it, bashing Palin is so…..last year. Ever looked at Barack Obama’s hypocrisies?
What you say? ABC would fire you if you did that? Well now we know why no one watches them !

“It doesn’t have much to do with HUNTING turkeys, it has to do with having a television interview with someone strangling them in the background.”
Yes, imagine. At a turkey-processing plant, they actually kill turkeys. Oh, the scandal.
Do there exist people who think the turkey on their table at Thanksgiving got there without being killed?

The simple fact is, earmarks is the way The Congress does business.
Until this mythical reformation of the earmarks system happens, that is the way it will be.
Talking about change is not change.
I thought maybe this blog was the klone bright light.
My error, I’ll take you off the list.

Cheap shot, plain and simple, by someone who hadgenerated some trust with the right

“Yes, imagine. At a turkey-processing plant, they actually kill turkeys. Oh, the scandal.”
I don’t think anyone implied that it was scandalous, and I think you know that. It’s just extremely inept and out of touch. If you interview millions and millions of Americans I’m sure they would enthusiastically tell you that the last thing that they and their families want to see right before Thanksgiving is graphic images of turkeys being slaughtered. But hey -maybe in Alaska it would be considered a good appetizer.

Two cats,
The problem with earmarks for Palin is that she spend months campaigning against them. Another episode of a Republican talking out of both sides of their mouths.

Funny how the Obama team will continue reporting every move that Gov. Palin makes. Oh, you say, this is just an ABC reporter reporting on Gov. Palin….exactly….you will hear so many reports on Gov. Palin from now on until election day because the Obama team is quite notably scared to death of her.

Gee-Willikers, another lying, left-wing media hack.
Every Obama appointee is a crook and he has time to make up lies about Sarah Palin. HIS SNARKY RESPONSE ALONE belies his credibility.

Jake Tapper is looking for his 2 minutes of fame. You are so transparent.
Who the hell are Bill Ayers and Beranrdine Dohrn? Terrorist friends that palled around with ObeTheTeleprompter in Chicago. Imagine what goodies you would have found, if you had dropped 200 investigators into Chicago.
Now we are all paying for the teleprompter in the WH.
“McAllister then pointed out that Palin made 51 earmark requests for the FY 2008 budget, totaling $256 million; and 31 requests totaling $197 million, for the FY 2009 budget.
McAllister said that for next year’s budget, Gov. Palin will only make eight requests, totaling $69 million.”
JakeTrappertheKissObeTheTelepromper, Are you comparing these peanuts with the other states. There was 700 billion dollar budget that went out to the states and you write a story about peanuts going to Alaska. Are you really Joe Biden?
Why don’t you write about ObeTheTeleprompter approval ratings dropping to 56%?
Why don’t you write about the how the clowns in California have bankrupted that state and Arnold is running around pleading for ever penny he can get? The LIBERAL KOOKS have bankrupt that state and you are worrying about peanuts going to Alaska.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, your phone is ringing, and it is the kooks from MSNBC.
Your better hurry and get that tinkle up your leg.

Jake!
How hypocritical are you not to include the millions of pork with Obama and Rahm’s name on them. Or Biden. Or the fact that Obama broke his word about pork by signing – hidden away from the citizens of the USA – the bill instead of sending it back – as Bush had promised to do – to be reduced. You need to change your position to Obama press agent since you are not fair and balanced. Are you trying out for Gibb’s job? Lack of integrity is not a plus for “reporters.”

Where did you write this story at a bar?
This story makes you look like a whiner looking for attention.
Try writing about how Obama stood before the American people and look them right in the eyes and said: I am proud to say there are no earmarks in this bill.
This will come back to haunt him.

That MJ article was just silly. What a nitpicking, uninformed piece.
What a bunch of poor fluffy journalism all around.
Look into those projects. Liberals should be interested in environmental projects like protecting the King Crab, which is also an economic issue for Alaska, and not solely controlled by th eir state. It’s a natural resource like Salmon. It’s not inappropriate to request federal money for an Indian Cultural center, American Indians are funded federally.
Palin packed away a lot of money for her state in the previous budget, some of it by taxing big oil, and by avoiding spending (Despite criticism from her legislators to spend it while they had it) during that period in order to save for leaner times, like now. Seems like a smart thing for a governor to do.
If you call yourself a journalist, then research your stories. If you can’t do that, stop asking to be paid for this, and blog instead.

Hmmmm…..Gov. Palin got money for ‘North Pacific Fisheries???’
Ummm…Of course you must not realize how much Alaska depends on this “BUSINESS” for their economy….
I bet this ‘earmark’ will do double duty and “create and save jobs” in Alaska…..But I’m sure no one wants to hear about “sucessful governing”
And King crab research??….prolly the same deal…..
You’d rather watch Obama frenetically running around in ever smaller circles….Talking about ‘someday’
Did you miss the modus operendi in the last bill…all like it would ‘save or create’ 3 1/2 million jobs….and then….after the bill passed….suddenly it was announced 3 1/2 million ‘might’ be too optomistic…prolly should be 2 1/2 million instead?
Just what new info did they get in a week?….could Obama have just been blowin smoke up your skirt to get the bill passed?
OK Jake…I’m starting to ‘get’ it….Your bosses at ABC have ‘instructed’ you to stop the independant fair reporting that you have been showing so much promise in….and get back on the bias bus….
Or…worse than that….Obama has bought you…..
Time will tell….I’ll hang around and watch for awhile……everyone gets it wrong sometimes….not fair to judge yet….

Lets See……….Bill McAllister…Directer of Communications……
Wonder if that job decription means It’s his job to make sure you have the facts straight….and not spreading misinformation….

Aug. 29,” McAllister wrote. “The Governor never said that Earmarks should be Abolished or that the State of Alaska wouldn’t Seek or Accept any.
Didn’t happen.
What she said well before she was a National Candidate (going back at least to October of 2007) was that Earmark Reform was necessary and the state would need to RELY LESS on FEDERAL MONEY than it had been.”
——————-
That’s Borderline Bull-Spit !!
If You are Independent, Self Reliant and a Self Sufficient State, don’t Accept any Ear Marks, Period.

Sarah Palin: “Big Government, Needs to get out of the Way”

That’s exactly why, Sarah Palin, Loved Ted Stevens, because Ted Brought the Bacon, Hogs and Pork Products Home to Alaska and Now Lisa Murkowski and others are bringing the Bacon Home and Sarah Palin, will not Reject the Pigs and Hogs coming to the Yukons, No Sir.

McAllister said that for next year’s budget, Gov. Palin will only make 8 Requests, totaling [[$69 Million]], which will include “six ongoing federal appropriations and just two new projects: an upgrade at the Kodiak Missile Defense Facility, which is relevant to National Security, and a Bridge Replacement critical to construction of the…

Big Note: Sarah Palin’s Oil Gas Line, will Rely on More Ear Marked Pork Billions, but it will Not Happen.

At any Rate, Big Oil has already begun its Own Gas and Oil Pipeline, with Pipes already being laid, while Palin’s So called Gas Pipeline Quest has Not even Gotten Underway…
Regarding Sarah Palin’s Gas Pipeline Project, Not One, Single Solitary Pipe has been laid and the Canadian gas Company is not compelled to do ANYTHING, until More Money, I mean, MILLIONS has CHANGED HANDS !!
———–
There is also a Native Canadian Indian land Dispute and Legal hurdle, that will take YEARS to ever RESOLVE, that would Permanently put Palin’s Gas Pipeline Quest on ICE !!

Big Note: Not to mention, the Alaskan State House has put Palin’s Plans on ICE as well, because she Submitted them Too Late…
Palin is Slack in so Many Ways
Good morning America…
Wake up, this Woman is a Big Oil Tool.
An Not a Very Bright one at that !!!

You’d think shovel ready infrastructure projects for clean energy=jobs would have pleased the Dems. She’s asking for less than $200 million while other states are getting billions. What’s the problem? Not enough Dem. votes in Alaska? Alaska is part of the U.S. Where’s the beef?

It is the Republicans are the only against the earmarks so as I. Sarah Palin is favored with the earmarks- if she does decide to run for President in 2012 she will not get the nominee. It because of blamed Democrats and the mainstream news media.

Someone wrote: “If each of the 50 states asked for funding for 31 projects within their states there would be only 1550 projects total. The omnibus funded over 8000 earmarks. She’s very conservative compared to the present federalies.”
Translation: earmarks are OK as long as they are requested by a conservative. Otherwise, they are pork, and bad…..

Alaska: Population Of 650,000
Oil Rich
Ear Mark Rich
Politically Corrupt….
Because those Klondike-Yukon Politicians, Palin Included are Detached from the USA, they could Do Anything, until Sarah Palin was Introduced to Us, we could care LESS about what goes on in the Great Oil State of Alaska.
But since this [Hollow Floating Bubble] Sarah Palin, was Introduced to the USA…
The Flash Light is Shining Brightly on this Corrupt State and it’s Windfalls Profit Checks, Ear Marked Billions and it’s Governor [Sarah Palin] not Paying Her Taxes…

Alaska was just voted by researchers at University of Buffalo, Tx.State, & Geor. Mason U..as the best State with:
The researchers say their work “presents the first-ever comprehensive ranking of the American states on their public policies affecting individual freedoms in the economic, social, and personal spheres.”
Over a quarter of the state’s workforce is employed by state or local government, and that figure does not include federal employees. Alaska has the third highest debt ratio in the country and the second highest state and local government spending ratio. However, Alaska does extremely well on personal freedom, scoring first on our ranking,” the profile states.
NY is the worst.

There are more than 8,000 earmarks in the budget bill Obama just signed.
Yet, Obama had campaigned AGAINST earmarks.
Oh, the irony of it.
In signing the bill and APPROVING the more than 8,000 earmarks, Obama said the bill was “old business” and not his fault.
Nothing is ever Obama’s fault, and if Obama breaks promise … after promise … after promise … as he does, that’s not Obama’s fault either!

Shell report says next Prudhoe is offshore
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — At a time when Alaska and the nation are suffering job losses, a report released Monday detailed what could be a future boom.
The study claims the development would bring an average annual employment over 50 years of 35,000 jobs. Good paying jobs not your stupuid a## 10 green jobs maybe. Oil and natural gas is our future.
If you let Alaska develop their resources they won’t need a penny from the federal government.

I want all the morons to raise their hands. Do any of you people do any research.
Some info on the Permanent Fund.
In 1976, Governor Jay Hammond championed an amendment to the Alaska Constitution that established the Alaska Permanent Fund. It is important to point out that this is in the Alaska Constitution and not just in state law
The Alaska Permanent Fund itself is managed by a non-governmental agency consisting of a number of governor-appointed individuals (mostly bankers, investors, financial experts)
The famous Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend is issued to every man, woman and child who has resided in Alaska for a period of one year or more.
It is commonly joked that military personnel newly stationed in Alaska will go down to the Division of Motor Vehicles to get their Alaska Driver’s License in order to begin their residency as soon as they can. There are some other requirements, however, such as you need to reside in Alaska for a certain number of days each year to qualify — though invariably there are exceptions to the rule (e.g., military serving overseas can still get it, so can congressional members living in D.C.).
It is stated in the Alaskan Constitution that the resources in the ground belong to the Alaskan people.
The state has been in debt for years and years.
Just like the country is carrying a 12 trillion dollar debt and growing under the Obama clowns. Every state has a state wide debt that you know nothing about.
Sarah Palin has been governor of Alaska for TWO YEARS you bunch of clowns .
The federal government will not let Alaska develop their resources so they have to pay them off with earmarks and federal dollars.
LET ALASKA DEVELOP THEIR RESOURCES AND THEY WILL BE THE RICHES STATE IN THE UNION.

“Make their Names, Known” and Passed the Damn Omnibus Bill, with his Signature, had he been Elected President.

When you subtract federal defence spending on Alaska’s large defence installations, the net federal funding per capita is much lower. Also, when you control for relative population densities, the per capita comparisons become meaningless.

Governor Palin has been an advocate for earmark reform. She has said since 2006 that Alaska needs to be less reliant on federal dollars. Her stance has not changed; her requests for 8 projects were appropriate. Has anyone looked at Illinois? Over 1,100 projects receiving federal dollars. The treatment of Governor Palin by the mainstream media is shameful.

For anyone interested in crooked politicians like Palin keeping their word, not double talking and being held accountable for their hypocrisy.

George Stephanpolis asked John McCain a Direct Question…
Would he [John McCain] Endorse Governor Sarah Palin for President in [2012]
McCain Responded by saying….
“Its Too Early, My Corpse is still Warm”
This is a Woman, that Ran with him, as his VP and he Avoids Endorsing her.
McCain Selected this “Hollow Floating Bubble” and since he Lossed the Election, McCain Refuses to Endorse Palin….
McCain chose Palin for one purpose, Garnering the Largest Voing Power in America…
The White Female Vote.
It Failed because Palin was Never going to Win Over this Large Demographic..Period
The More she Talked, the Less the American Female Audience like her.
McCain could’ve Chosen….
1. Former Secr. of State: Condoleeza Rice
2. Republican Moderate: Sen. Lisa Murkowski
3. Republican Moderate: Congress-Woman Kay B. Hutchison
But he Chose this “Hollow Floating Bubble” Sarah Palin.

There is a difference between a senator requesting an earmark and a governor accepting one. A good analogy is selling teens alcohol; the businesses get nailed, not the kids. And, of course, if only Congress had the maturity of 17 year-old boys.

All in All – Alaska is probably the best territory that the U.S. has ever stolen.

Earmarks happen. I’m coming to terms with it. I think people have major problems with earmarks geared towards things like museums and pig odor. Earmarks towards defense and infrastructure is hard to argue against. I just see this story as another distraction away from a president that has been a hypocrite for his campiagn and his presidency thus far. People whine and complain about the Republicans but do nothing to confront their own candidates.
I mean this is the guy who said that he wouldn’t have any lobbyists and then hired some, plus multiple tax cheats. He said he would champion earmark reform and instead of sending the dang bills back to congress to strip out many of the unneeded earmarks he chose to sign them anyway. Then had the nreve to get on tv saying that “next time” it’ll be different. Really?
At least with Palin I’m seeing some signs of reform- each year her requests keep dropping. She’s actually trying.
What I find most funny is that the likes of ABC and MSNBC have the nerve to try and scream hypocrite when the guy they all wanted is doing EXACTLY that. Maybe they could try holding their own candidates to their high standards before beating up on those who they won’t vote for anyway.

The GOP would have to be complete morons to put this woman on the ticket in ’12. She’s getting ripped apart and she isn’t even on the ticket yet. What do you think will happen to her if she runs in ’12? Palin supporters can scream all day long about the “biased media”, that will make absolutely no difference. Fair or unfair, that is the way it is. PERIOD !!!!

McAllister said that for next year’s budget, Gov. Palin will only make 8 Requests, totaling [[$69 Million]], which will include “six ongoing federal appropriations and
Note: Just 2 New Projects: An upgrade at the Kodiak Missile Defense Facility, which is Relevant to National Security, and a Bridge Replacement critical to Construction of the…
[Pending] the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline, also in the National Interest.”
———————-
Gas Pipeline, National Security ..Hmm
National Interest No…
Big Oil Interest, Yes !!
The President Obama and the Federal Government Handles the Missile Sites, Not Palin. She has No Authority over Federal Issues.
Palin, is Only mentioning the Missile Site, because it tries to add some Weight, to her Slim Resume.
Its a Very Sad and Pathetic Attempt, to give her some Weight.
—————
Big Note: Sarah Palin’s Oil Gas Line, will Rely on More Ear Marked Pork Billions, but it will Not Happen.
————
At any Rate, Big Oil has already begun its Own Gas and Oil Pipeline, with Pipes already being laid, while Palin’s So called Gas Pipeline Quest has Not even Gotten Underway…
Regarding Sarah Palin’s Gas Pipeline Project…
Not One, Single Solitary Pipe has been laid and the Canadian Gas Company is not compelled to do ANYTHING, until More Money, I mean, MILLIONS has CHANGED HANDS !!
———–
There is also a Native Canadian Indian land Dispute and Legal hurdle, that will take YEARS to ever RESOLVE, that would Permanently put Palin’s Gas Pipeline Quest on ICE !!
————-
Big Note: Not to mention, the Alaskan State House has put Palin’s Plans on ICE as well, because she Submitted them Too Late…
Palin is Slack in so Many Ways
America
Wake up, this Woman is a Big Oil Tool.
An Not a Very Bright one at that !!!

Imagine Palin on Stage Debating with….
Tex Governor, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Charlie Crist, Lisa Murkowski, Kay B. Hutchison and Tim Pawlenty….
You Thought Last Year’s Saturday Night Live Skits were Funny…
It would be Hysterical !!!
Palin is a “Hollow Floating Bubble”

I Fear Sarah Palin like…
Oprah Winfrey Fears…
Rush Limbaugh !!
No Fear At All.
HaHa HaHa HaHa !!!
PS: Sarah Palin Fears …
Lisa Murkowski, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Kay B. Hutchison, Tim Pawlenty and Charlie Crist…
Those are the Names she’ll Face in the Republican Race for the White House.

Frank Murkowski Alaska-Canadian Gas Pipeline
————–
In March 2007, Palin presented the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA) as the new legal vehicle for building a natural gas pipeline from the state’s North Slope.
Note: Former Alaskan Governor, [Frank Murkowski] Orchestrated and Formed this Pipeline Deal, Not Palin, but because of he Lossed to Palin, the Deal went Forward, with New Governor [Palin].
————
Only one legislator, Representative Ralph Samuels, voted against the measure, and in June, Palin signed it into law. On January 5, 2008, Palin announced that a Canadian company, TransCanada Corporation, was the sole AGIA-compliant applicant.
In August 2008, Palin signed a bill into law giving the state of Alaska authority to award TransCanada Pipelines [$500 MILLION] in [Seed Money] and a License to Build and operate the [$26-BILLION Pipeline] to transport Natural Gas from the North Slope to the Lower 48 through Canada.
————–
TransCanada projects the pipeline to be Operational by late [[2018]]…
Note: Barring Unforeseen Obstacles ?
There’s already an Obstacle, the Native Canadian Indians, Don’t want their Land to be Used, to Facilitate a Gas Pipeline.

The GOP are such hypocrites they put earmarks in the stimulus packages and voted against it knowing that it will pass. That want it to look like the dems are putting all the pork when are just as guilty.

First: Good of you to report this, Jake.
Second: John McCain doesn’t request earmarks because he goes directly to the agencies involved and gets them to put the money for projects he wants into their budgets instead of into the national budget. He just strong-arms people for it, in other words.
Besides amounting to a miniscule part of the budget, earmarks are useful and usefully done because they are out there for everyone to see, whereas McCain’s method is hushed up – it’s pure hypocrisy for him to complain about earmarks when he gets the money under the table with no accountability.
The other thing about earmarks is that they are not extra, added expenditures, they are simply directions that generalized appropriations, say $xx out of the total budget of $xxxmillion for education, be spent specifically for some particular project, e.g., $xx of the education budget for xyz educational program at abc state university. They are not extra money, they are simply special instructions for how broadly budgeted money is to be spent. If it doesn’t go to those “earmarked” programs, it’s not like the money will be saved, it will just go somewhere else.
A final note: SP is no doubt cutting back on her state’s expenditures and her earmark requests at the expense of her poorest and most needy constituents, and/or has taken a lesson from McCain in finding less transparent ways of getting the same cash.

PattiB you need to check yourself. President did not say he would end earmarks that would be your man and woman McCain and Palin.
President Obama said he would reform the earmark process.
Get your facts straight.

Thank you for pointing out the incorrect use of “literally.” We need to hold politicians accountable — including the way they use our language.

Boy oh boy!!! I’m from Alaska and all we see Palin do is blame everyone else! She will not be elected AGAIN as governor and has no place on the national scene. Her party isn’t even calling on her!!! Everyone needs to check her out more thoroughly as to her tenure as mayor in Wasilla and her two years as governor. She is unethical!! It amazes me – every time she or her family stick their heads out they get them bashed!!! She has one tough ego that is for sure!

I HATE Palin… but… YOU blew it. You quoted her stance – and YOUR “point” – that she wanted to “champion reform to end the ABUSES of earmark spending in Congress.” ABUSES! Not earmarks completely. That one word means they have a solid leg to stand on and you’ve done a sloppy job.
Like I said, I HATE HATE HATE Palin. But you’ve done a disservice to us all by letting them LEGITIMATELY get away with bashing the media. They’re right on this one and you’re wrong… and you’ve let Palin – a confirmed liar – get the upper hand in this arguement. And that’s bad. Worse… you can’t see that fact.

I recall the campaign and she made her bed saying how she turned down federal money. And then it turns out she didn’t. Now again she rants about earmarks while still taking the money that can benefit her state. It’s doublespeak. It’s Orwellian.

PP: You are right on about the Palin and earmarks. As an Alaskan I can say that Gov Winky is feeling a lot of heat for any number of botched Palinisms.
One notable exception: please don’t knock money for research and managing our fisheries. The seafood industry is the #1 employer in AK and generates revenues second only to Big Oil.
Thanks for keeping your eye on GINO (gov in name only).

Palin says she’s pro-Life and she just appointed a pro-Choice judge in Alaska this week. She says she’s against earmarks and yet she takes millions. Doesn’t anyone in the GOP care about ideological consistency? Can’t you see that Palin is playing you all?

Sorry Marcus, one is either for earmarks or not. One politician’s useful earmarking is another’s pork. That’s why I credit McCain for his integrity (requesting ZERO earmarks), nonsensical as that may seem. Fact is, Palin is a HYPOCRITE.
McCain is the king of GIMMICKS. His crusade against ANY Earmarking whatsoever,and his claim during the campaign to combat the National Debt by vetoing EVERY earmark and imposing a Spending Freeze are just as nonsensical as the great idea of Joe the NON-plumber.

The issue of earmarks has been completely overblown by the media, including ABC news, thanks in large part to my state’s senator John McCain. As everyone should know by now, some earmarks are good, some are bad, but all told they represent less than 2% of the federal budget. There are many bigger fish to fry including multi-billion dollar weapon systems that were designed for the Cold War and now are just welfare projects for defense contractors.
It’s not often that I agree with Gov. Palin, but she is right in that the earmark process needs reform, but there is nothing inherently wrong with earmarks themselves. They are, after all, merely a process of directing spending to specific projects that has been allocated in the budget bill. Some of this spending is mis-directed to wasteful programs that would be better allocated by the responsible federal agencies. In other cases, probably the vast majority, the specific allocations are completelu appropriate.

The Federal budget is supposed to help individual states with certain things such as infrastructure.
If any of you all don’t believe that, then I guess you avoid driving on Federally-funded highways.
If a Democratic governor wanted millions for something like bridge repair, building new schools and hospitals, etc. I would have no problem with that. But one would hope that the individual states would look to ways of financing such things themselves first.
None of these earmarks of Palin’s sound unreasonable. However, I do believe that appropriations should be done with oversight and not just thrown in with other spending bills…thus I am fundamentally against earmarks.

Why is attention given to this woman. Leave her to a fringe subset of the GOP, and watch her disappear from the national stage.

Wow. Jake Tapper is taking on a Republican. Never thought I’d see the day. Jake, your fans don’t seem too happy. Best you go back to Obama and Dem bashing. You’re so much better at that.

I suppose that your muckraking now excuses ABC’s “Path to 9/11″ before.
I’m not buying any of it until you expose the elephant in the room: corporate bribery, sanctioned as “campaign contributions,” “bundled money” and the rest of the legal gibberish that buys influence and votes against the public interest. Nonsense parsing of these silly distractions. Utter pap.
MEAT, Jake…get to the meat of the public interest issue and stop the nonsense.

I find it interesting that on the few occasions the main stream media actually does its job and points out the hypocrisy of the right wing in this country, they are attacked as the “liberal media.” Facts are liberal ideas I guess.
Mr. Tapper, along with most of the Washington press corp, went along to get along during the last administration. It wasn’t until the last few years of the Bush debacle that Tapper began to ask questions. By then, it was too late. As usual, now that the Democrats have retaken the congress and White House, the press corp has started the gotcha game with Obama. Unlike most Republicans, I actually want the press to do their jobs and point out the inadequacies of the Democrats who are in power–when called for. However, I am so tired of watching the press line up to prove that they’re not liberal by attacking Obama for anything and everything.
Thus, when I read something like Tapper’s take on Palin, I’m not impressed. He’s spent the last month finding all the different ways Obama has not lived up to his campaign promises–i.e., gotcha journalism–even when the examples have been ridiculous. Tapper is as afraid as everyone else in the Washington media to point out the absolute hypocrisy of McCain and the other Republicans remaining in congress because he doesn’t want to antagonize them and lose “access.” Palin’s in Alaska, so she’s an easy way for him to then say see…I am objective…yeah right.

Chuck TX:
Obama never vowed to end earmarks. That’s just another right wing talking point. That is to say, a lie.
In fact, during the campaign he justly chided McCain for his obsession with earmarks, in this case around 1% of the budget. But of course, we can’t expect honesty from the right wingers.

Funny how Palin dispensed an aid to do her dirty work. She’s a crook. End of discussion. D.

“That’s right. He has a cute little trick for that. He lets the other conservative Republican senator from Arizona, Mr. Kyl, fill Arizona’s goodie bag for him, to the tune of about $200 million.”
That’s great! So it seems everyone has their hand in the forbidden cookie jar one way or another.

“I told them thanks, but no thanks, for that bridge to nowhere . . . .”
Poooor Sarah, yes she did make a big deal out of it.

The republicans isn’t slick, they are trying to knock Palin out of the running for 2012 because she is the one that their base wants and they know they will lose with Palin because everyone else don’t like her and they need more then the base to win 2012.

smells like the dimwit palin’s been makin’ bacon again.

sarah palin does a wonderful job of screwing herself into the ground every time she opens that dumb mouth of hers.
she’s been exposed over the past year, and it just eats her up.

the republicans thinks that palin is a “breath of fresh air” for the republican party.
i think her “air” is about as fresh as a house full of 12 people on chili night.

Why is she still news? Or for that matter, why do we still have to hear way too much about McCain. Their election party is over and it looks like their political party is too.

We want the NEWS not politics so thanks. These guys are not “above the truth” so keep it coming.

Don’t back down one bit Jake. You keep ‘em honest. The more they cry the more you know your on to the truth.

“The headline doesn’t seem very dignified for a major news organization,” said the spokesman for the governor.
We’re talking about “You Betcha” Palin here. God forbid anyone should write an undignified headline about her.
PALIN FOR PREZ . . . or something

Good Lord. When will Repubs just give up and stop claiming to be things that they aren’t? Palin, a fiscal conservative? Please. Nice to know, though, that she’s still after the “gotcha media”–it let’s us all know that her propensity towards censorship is still alive and well.
Well done, Jake.

Pwned.

A recent poll shows that 61% of Republicans and 100% of Democrats hope Sarah Palin runs for President in 2012.

When is this woman going to learn that she cant just scream about crap and not get called on it.
Shes Single A baseball player trying to handle a Major League Pitcher.

With each passing day, it is becoming evident to anyone with half a brain who can get one eye open, that out of the final four top candidates in the 2008 presidential election (Obama, Biden, McCain, Palin), only Sarah Palin had the experience, the know-how, the integrity and the guts to assume the office of the presidency.
Obama proves by the day how jaw-droppingly inexperienced he is to be in the top position. Our enemies have already sensed this weakness, and are closing in:
Putin and Medvedev told him off publicly….
We’ve lost our military base in Azherbaijan….
Cuba and Venezuela have invited Russia to set up bases in their countries….
Ahmadinejad is laughing at his offer to “talk”, as he screws the warhead onto his missile….
North Korea is ready to fire off missiles…
Hugo Chavez wants Obama to join him in Socialism….
Obama wants to open up trade and travel with Cuba, never mind that 10 presidents before him have had the good sense to shun this Communist regime that murders its own people…..
China is chiding Obama for spending at a time when we owe them trillions of dollars….
China is harassing our naval ships in the South China Sea, even though they are in International waters…..
Obama has mistreated and insulted Gordon Brown, our staunchest ally and closest friend…..
Obama couldn’t get our friend and neighbor Canada to deploy more of their troops to Afghanistan, even when he had NAFTA to use as a bargaining chip (which he didn’t bother to use)….
Do I need to go into the “stimulus” package, which won’t stimulate a thing?….
The earmarks in the latest pork bill that he lied about and signed off on in private?….
The tax cheater he insisted we MUST have as Treasury secretary, and has since proven to be an inept fool?….
His abominable picks for his cabinet, some of whom had to back out due to “tax issues”?…..
The lobbyists he hired, after he told us he wouldn’t?….
His closing down of Gitmo, with NO PLAN for where these hardened terrorists are going to go?…..
The gaffe with Pakistan?….
The cap and trade rule which will only serve to drive away or kill business and jobs?…..
The sinking stock market, due to his continued lack of confidence and lack of coherent economic plans?….
How about 3 months from now, when unemployment is higher, we’re deeper in debt and closer to an attack by one of our increasing number of enemies?
NOW how good does a Palin administration sound?
Yet ABC continues this tired, yawn-inducing attack on Sarah Palin, trying to discredit her in any way possible, in a lame attempt to try to distract the public from the powder keg in the room that is Obama and his minions.
Get a SPINE, ABC. Why don’t you be different for once, and break from the herd of all the other elitist, liberal media clones and start reporting some REAL news, like the denigration of our country at the hands of a completely inept BUFFOON?
Why are you wasting your time going after every little thing the governor of Alaska says and does, when Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Geithner and the rest of the crooks are running this country into oblivion?
Are you SO AFRAID of the public’s favorable response to Sarah Palin that you have to run stories about her which try to harm her reputation?
Does she scare you that much, ABC and Jake Tapper?
Do you REALLY think she’s that big of a threat to Obama’s re-election chances in 2012? You must, or you wouldn’t be running these stories about her.
It’s kind of like Obama picking on Rush Limbaugh. Why would the president of the United States fear a radio talk show host? WHY?….
Why would a flailing, journalistically bankrupt media outlet that’s hemmorhaging money waste it’s time and resources with the governor of Alaska? WHY?….

“Her former running mate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., requests no earmarks.
That’s a fiscally conservative position.”
Is it? Is it fiscally responsible to avoid all earmarks, or is it just irrational? I suppose that’s what conservative and liberal are, though, smokescreens of irrationality.
I think the problem between Palin and ABC here is that they’re quibbling over a phantom – the definition of conservative, particularly “fiscal” conservative.

It’s funny that any politician is singled out and condemned for hypocrisy and self-contradiction. You become a politician, those merge with your DNA. Honestly expecting to see politics without those? How about I interest you in a bridge, in Alaska? Or investing in subprime mortgages, maybe?

Go, Jake, Go!

Eh… I am as liberal as they come and absolutely NOT a fan of Palin’s, but it seems to me that reason – this time at least – is on her side. If she never said earmarks needed to be abolished or that she wouldn’t accept any – only that they needed to be reduced, well, it sounds like that’s what she’s doing. This isn’t reporting, Tapper, it’s snarking.
“Alarmed, I asked McAllister how Palin was “literally” injured. Was she okay? Was she infirm?”
C’mon… how childish can you get?

Ear marks? Is that as in pig ear marks? I thought the term was pork barrel, which sounds more truthful than ear marks.

TO JAMIE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA PUT DOWN THE KOOL-AID AS FAR AS SARA PALIN IS CONCERNED STOP THINKING WITH THAT 3RD LEG ITS NOT WORKING GO BACK TO BED RIGHT NOW

“Republicans are only against the earmarks that they aren’t personally benefitting from, or if they have been requested by a member of the Democratic party.”
Truth Matters, you hit the nail on the head. I could not of said it any better then you just did.

can someone please explain to me who in the entire state is supposed to request funding to boost job, infrastructure and so on to benefit us the tax payers? Not members of congress and not governors?

Earmarks or pork whatever you want to call it helps their states. I have no problem with them getting it. I do have a problem with people lying about it. Its no shame to bring the bacon home to your states. But I do hate it when a congressman says I want pork for my district yet when they come to vote on it than say no. Knowing full well they are going to get the pork they want yet can say I didn’t vote for it. That is what I hate. Just be honest about it. The party of no had 22 of 28 that voted no yet all requested pork and are getting it. I say if you want the pork for your state don’t be ashamed to ask for it. One’s states pork is another states waste. No one is happy. They are all phonies no matter congress or governors of states. Don’t blame the messenger.

I love Republicans.
It is never their fault for anything, their wrong doings will be on Video Recordings and they will stand in front of the whole World and say well I said it or did it but you know,it was the Liberals fault, it was the Liberal Media’s fault, it was the Liberal Voters’ fault and for that matter it was my Liberal Mother’s fault.
Check it out, every Republican reads from the same Playbook, which says blame everybody else for your incompetence.
Way to go guys, great Conservative Roll Models you are.

Poor, poor, pitiful Sarah.

HEY REPUBS….
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEEASE PUT THIS WOMAN ON THE TICKET IN 2012. EVERY DEMOCRAT I KNOW WANTS THIS MORON TO BE THE “FUTURE” OF THE GOP !!!!!
…..”you betcha”….”ya know”…….”gosh darnit”…

Elly Mae Palin’s recent brain flatulant is
to build a road to NOME. Take a look at a
map… there’s NOTHING in NOME. No industry, no pop. to speak of. Building a
road in that extreme environment would be
costly, and require constant expensive maintenance. And this is in a state where we have recently had two charities
from the lower 48 deliver food to some of our villages.
Her political career in AK is over. We’re wild and crazy up here… but not
stooopid.

Tell McAllister to go back home. Sarah Palin has lied and lied, again and again. Her whole political public service history reveal a lady that says one thing, then changes mind, and then says she was never for. Never admits she is ever wrong. Just claims publicly all who correct what she said initially are wrong and are attacking her. She then usually claims attacks on these individuals or organizations. She has left so many dead bodies all across Alaska as she has risen to political stardom. I was so excited when she was chosen. As I intensely researched her activities/record, Alaska government, etc. became quite alarmed. She and her husband carry huge underground vendettas against people in Alaska who oppose them. I found lots of information prior to John McCain group entering Alaska to clean house. After McCain group arrived total shutdown occurred. Lots of games are being played up there.
Wow, Alaska is really state full of corrupt politicians. FBI has been there since 2004. FBI is agency that should be given the credit for cleaning house, not Sarah Palin. FBI was acting alone. Alaska government was actual body being investigated, and were left out of any involvement. Sarah Palin deserves no credit for cleaning up Alaska. Just another statement lie. Can all be argued down quite easily with real facts. Facts are it was FBI. All in the records!!!
I am Republican and what I found out was outrageous. Poor people of Alaska need to be more informed and involved. How can a state of 267,000 have at least 10 politicians indicted. All were Republicans except for one. Oil Company executives indicted as well.
Please stop reporting on Sarah Palin.

AGAIN, “The governor never said that earmarks should be abolished or that the State of Alaska wouldn’t seek or accept any. Didn’t happen. What she said well before she was a national candidate (going back at least to October of 2007) was that earmark reform was necessary and the state would need to rely less on federal money than it had been.” as quosted by her communication director, Bill McAllister.

Now just Imagine Palin on Stage Debating with….
Tex Governor, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Charlie Crist, Lisa Murkowski, Kay B. Hutchison and Tim Pawlenty….
You Thought Last Year’s Saturday Night Live Skits were Funny…
It would be Hysterical !!!
Palin is a “Hollow Floating Bubble”

Palin v. Political Punch
Jake be careful with Sarah Palin remember she sees herself as a pit bull with lipstick. I don’t want you to get hurt.

The Alaskan Governorship Consist of the Following…
1. The Packaged & Labeled Governor [Sarah Palin]
2. The Shadow Governor [Todd Palin]
3. The Silent Governor [[BP Oil]]
Note: Todd Palin’s Employer is BP Oil…
The “1st Dude” Todd Palin, Frequents the Governor’s Office, Control’s and Influences Alaska’s Oil Policies, via Sarah Palin.
Keep in mind, Sarah Palin did a Ton of Work form her [[HOME]] not the Governor’s Mansion.
Keep that in mind.

Why are you still giving this woman free publicity? She is like a dry sponge…she waits for any news org to write about her and then she, or her minions, pounce..Ignore her and she goes away. She has been outed as a liar, a spin artist, and I truly hope the Repubs run her for potus in 2012. She will be annihilated along with Bobby Jindal the elevator operator.

Jake: RUN OUT AND GET YOUR RABIES SHOT – THAT PITBULL IN LIPSTICK IS ARMED AND DANGEROUS!
She’s addicted to the spotlight – this has nothing to do with you.

The Godliness/Goodness of Sarah Palin reflects to those godless people who despise and viciously attack her. And that’s normal; Jesus was murdered because of His goodness. There is always struggle between the Good and evil and Good always prevail.

Why don’t you do a report on Jack Murtha and all of his Earmarks and PMA? We should have term limits and then people like him wouldn’t exist.

DJN: Oh Yeah…
Yu want Peace on Earth….
Go to Alaska and let Sarah Palin Lead You.
Its a Government Dolling State and You would Love it…
Go SEE first hand, how Sarah Palin will Govern You.
Go to Heaven On Earth…Alaska

It’s time for the FBI to step into Alaska and deal with the Palins

Better get Tina Fey on this right away. Let her have her way with Sarah, she can destroy Palin once and for all with huge ratings on SNL. Just turn the whole dilemna over to Tina and let her make short work of Palin.

The worst, fiscal conservative bar none – extreme right wing Republican Gov Sanford of SC. This man is single handedly destroying the economy of South Carolina.

Caribou Barbie and her political hack press secretary McAllister are a joke. ABC has it right. She likes to claim she is a fiscal conservative but Alaska gets a free ride off oil wealth. Thank God her and McCain are not in the white house now. What a disaster that would be. McCain would be spending his day planning air strikes on Iran with Israel and Palin would be giving anti abortion speeches, meanwhile the US economy would go down the drain.

CORRECTIONS, PLEASE!
Why can’t this woman just keep quiet for just a little while, even better just disapear from news coverage? Amazing she is still seeking our attention–like a cry baby or delusional prima donna! One problem with people like Palin is the inability to make correct self-analysis,recognize their own deficincies and their level of intellectual depth. During the last Presidential campaign, judging from all appearances, she must have presumed that she could win simply by a charm offensive in an increasing knowledge-based world. She could not see how inadequate she was for the task ahead in the face of challenge. She couldn’t even recall basic and widely known facts, let alone analyze geopolitical situations. Yet she felt able to picture her self on the world stage discussing and making sense with world leaders on difficult issues in our much more complex world. For ideological Republicans like herself, the problems of the world are much illogically simplified to fit into their trunketted worldview. They always try to speak to us in the superlatives: their opponents are definitely wrong and they are surely right. We are now painfully reminded in the Presidency of George W. Bush what heavy damage such backward thinking can do to us all here and globally. Ironically, Bush failure has not stopped Republican ideologues from still promoting the same old tried and tested solution–e.g., tax cut as the solution to all tax problems; stunch support for expoitative corporatocracy even at the risk of unnecessary foreign wars; attempt to impose personal religious goals upon all as law and public policy. Higher ambition should be made of higher brain matter and intellectual curiosity.
