The Real Truth About Sarah Palin

As posted in comments on
Greta's article referencing the MOVEON ad about
Sarah Palin.
The last 45 of my 66 years
I've spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska .
I understand Alaska politics but never understood
national politics well until this last year. Here's
the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin
controversy gets it. It's not about persona, style,
rhetoric, it's about doing things. Even Palin
supporters never mention the things that I'm about
to mention here.
1. Democrats forget when
Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as
soon as Palin took the Governor's office away from a
fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski,
she tore into the Republican's "Corrupt Bastards
Club" (CBC) and sent them packing. Many of them are
now residing in State housing and wearing orange
jump suits. The Democrats reacted by skipping around
the yard, throwing confetti and singing, "la" (well,
you know how they are). Name another governor in
this country that has ever done anything similar.
2. Now with the CBC gone,
there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the
huge, giant oil companies here. So she constructed
and enacted a new system of splitting the oil
profits called "ACES." Exxon (the biggest
corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told
them, "don't let the door hit you in the stern on
your way out." They stayed, and Alaska residents
went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich.
Of course, the other huge international oil
companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the
name of any other governor in the country that has
done anything similar.
3. The other thing she did
when she walked into the governor's office is she
got the list of State requests for federal funding
for projects, known as "pork." She went through the
list, took 85% of them and placed them in the
"when-hell-freezes-over" stack. She let locals know
that if we need something built, we'll pay for it
ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money
she got from selling the previous governor's jet
because it was extravagant.
Maybe she could use the money she saved by
dismissing the governor's cook (remarking that she
could cook for her own family), giving back the
State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she
already had a car, and dismissing her State provided
security force (never mentioning - I imagine - that
she's packing heat herself). I'm still waiting to
hear the names of those other governors.
4. Now, even with her
much-ridiculed "gosh and golly" mannerism, she also
managed to put together a totally new approach to
getting a natural gas pipeline built which will be
the biggest private construction project in the
history of North America. No one else could do it
although they tried. If that doesn't impress you,
then you're trying too hard to be unimpressed while
watching her do things like this while baking up a
batch of brownies with her other hand.
5. For 30 years, Exxon held
a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called
Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time
why they couldn't start drilling. In truth they were
holding it like an investment. No governor for 30
years could make them get started. Then, she told
them she was revoking their lease and kicking them
out. They protested and threatened court action. She
shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to
the court house. Alaska won again.
6. President Obama wants the
nation to be on 25% renewable resources for
electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature
and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50%
renewable by 2025. We are already at 25%. I can give
you more specifics about things done, as opposed to
style and persona. Everybody wants to be cool, sound
cool, look cool. But that's just a cover-up. I'm
still waiting to hear from liberals the names of
other governors who can match what mine has done in
two and a half years. I won't be holding my breath.
By the way, she was content
to return to AK after the national election and go
to work, but the haters wouldn't let her. Now these
adolescent screechers are obviously not scuba
divers. And no one ever told them what happens when
you continually jab and pester a barracuda. Without
warning, it will spin around and tear your face off.
Shoulda known better.
You have just read the truth
about Sarah Palin that sends the media, along with
the democrat party, into a wild uncontrolled frenzy
to discredit her. I guess they are only interested
in skirt chasers, dishonesty, immoral people, liars,
womanizers, murderers, and bitter ex-presidents'
wives.
So "You go, Girl." I only
wish the men in Washington had your guts,
determination, honesty, and morals.
I rest my case. Only FOOLS listen to the biased
media.
If you've read this
far.............now, open your eyes...

There has
NEVER
been anyone in the White House at any time who has
created such an army of staffers whose
sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's
social life.
One wonders why she needs so much help,
at taxpayer expense,
when even Hillary, only had
three;
Jackie Kennedyone;
Laura Bush
one;
and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from
the President's own pocket.

This does not include makeup artist Ingrid
Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny
Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force
