PALIN IN A NUTSHELL - (A recap of Palin)
Posted by B. Scott on October 27th, 2008 | Categorized as Uncategorized
I dedicate this post to my friend, June. Before June and I ruined our friendship, we made a pact to "agree that we disagree" on who to vote for. However, June doesn’t live in Alaska, and she doesn’t know anything about Palin. So, June, as they say, "This one’s for you!" But, "doggone it," you’re gonna have to share with other Americans who are interested in Sarah. June, be sure to click on the highlighted portions in the post, those portions include articles and some great videos I researched for you. Oh, June, one more thing - you will be tested before November 4, so pay attention. "Bless your heart."
SARAH PALIN IN A NUTSHELL - A RECAP OF PALIN
It terrifies me to think that I might wake up on November 5th to find John McCain and Sarah Palin to be the leaders of our country. It terrifies me (1) when I hear McCain and Palin lying to the people in the Lower 48 and Hawaii about Palin’s popularity in Alaska; (2) when I continue to hear Palin lie about her accomplishments in Alaska; (3) when I continue to hear all the hate and anger that McCain and Palin speak about Obama, almost on the verge of inciting riots.
McCain and Palin are not mavericks in the true meaning of the word. Since 1847 the real Mavericks were a family who were Democrats, liberals, and they stood up for civil rights. (Does that sound like McCain and Palin?)
Palin puts on her folksy "Aunt Bea of Mayberry" routine to tug at the hearts of people in small town America. She said, "I can relate to sitting around the table trying to figure out how to pay for out-of-pocket health care for our family." Not true. Palin did not tell you her husband, as Yupik Eskimo, is eligible to receive free government health care (medical, dental and eye care) federally funded through the Alaska Native Health Service, for himself and their five children. Palin cannot relate to Main Street Americans.
Palin, also did not tell you that she really can not relate to the average American family making $50,000 a year or less, worrying if they can make their house payments and scrimping to buy gas for their car so they could go to work. Her lifestyle in Alaska is quite different than the lower and middle class people of America. And how many middle class Americans can relate to spending $150,000 on clothes, $4,000 for hair for a month, and $23,000 in two weeks on make-up [$177,000]. Why, that could purchase a house for two down and out American families in Mayberry; or job salaries of $44,000 a year for four out-of-work Americans. All of this would mean absolutely nothing to the average "Main Street" voter, if McCain wasn’t trying to market Palin as your average Alaska hockey mom with Main Street American values. Instead McCain dresses her to the nines and he markets her to "Joe Six-Pack" and "Joe the Plumber."
Palin did not tell you about her "Rape Kit Controversy." While she was mayor of Wasilla she charged rape victims up to $1200 for rape kits used in their exams. Nor did she tell you that while she was Mayor of Wasilla she touted herself to be the "first christian mayor of Wasilla," even though other mayors before her were also christians. Palin also did not tell you that she used her religious affiliations to advance her career. Palin’s Pentacostal/Fundamentalist friends helped her get elected as mayor. Soon after she was elected mayor, her church became involved with taking over the board of the Wasilla hospital and they soon passed a resolution ending all abortions at the hospital. Palin definitely opposes abortion of any kind, even in the case of rape or incest.
Further, Palin did not tell you why she supports drilling in ANWR and the Pebble Mine project. It’s because her husband and each of their five children are shareholders in the Bristol Bay Native Corporation (BBNC). Last year they distributed 5.8 million dollars in dividends among their shareholders. Six of her family members received dividend checks. The Native corporation has built BBNC into a diversified corporation with more than $1 billion in annual revenues. Some of their companies deal with oil exploration. The revenues are shared with their shareholders and the shareholders have received more than $70 million in dividends.
There are more things that aren’t true.
Palin stated she is a fiscal conservative; she took a cut in pay while she was Mayor of Wasilla. That is true. She did take a cut in pay of $4,000, however, she hired an assistant to do the adminstration function of her job to the tune of $50,000 a year.
Palin stated to the American people about the gas pipeline:, "And when that deal was struck, we began a nearly $40 billion natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence. That pipeline, when the last section is laid and its valves are opened, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart." Not true. The pipeline exists only on paper. The first section has yet to be laid, federal approvals are years away and the pipeline will not be completed for at least a decade. The pipeline might never be built, and under a worst-case scenario, the state could lose up to $500 million it committed to defray regulatory and other costs. Further, Palin’s signature accomplishment - a contract to build a 1,715-mile pipeline to bring natural gas from Alaska to the Lower 48 - emerged from a flawed bidding process that narrowed the field to a company with ties to her administration. A probe into the details is getting underway at this time.
Palin said she fought the "Good Ol’ Boys" in Alaska and won. Not true. But the reality is that Palin is herself completely entrenched in the "old boys network" she claims she fought. She has courted the Good Ol’ Boys in Alaska and she is now courting the Good Ol’ Boys in the Lower 48. And when she runs again in 2012, she will need the "Oil Boys" to back her, so we will see how she treats them over the next couple years if she remains our governor.
Palin fought corruption in Alaska. Not true. The investigations by the FBI against corrupt politics began a couple years before Palin became governor. However, Palin continues to take credit for the investigations. As you can see from this article, undercover recordings were made in November ‘04, and possibly sooner. Palin took office as governor December ‘06.
Palin is against earmarks. Not true. When Palin was Mayor of Wasilla she hired a Washington lobbyist to secure earmarks for her town of 6,000 people - Palin received nearly $27 million in federal dollars from 2000 to 2003. After becoming governor, Palin sought $256 million in 2008 and 197 million for 2009.
The Bridge To Nowhere. Palin said, "I told Congress, thanks, but no thanks on that Bridge to Nowhere." Not true. However, Palin had supported the bridge and the earmark for it secured by Alaska’s Congressional delegation during her run for governor. The Anchorage Daily News quoted her in October 2006 as saying she would continue state funding for the bridge. The bridge was intended to provide access to Ketchikan’s airport on lightly populated Gravina Island, opening up new territory for expansion. Further, she held onto the $223 million in federally earmarked funds for other uses.
Sold the jet on Ebay. Not true. Palin listed the jet on Ebay, but it wasn’t effective. In 2007 she sold the jet through an aircraft broker and the jet was purchased that year by businessperson Larry Reynolds, the owner of a sporting goods store and marine supply store in Valdez. Reynolds paid $2.1-million. The state lost $600,000 on the sale.
Palin brags that she passed the new state ethics laws. However, she didn’t tell you that after the new ethics law was passed in Alaska, Palin was the first to break the ethics law she passed, not once, but several times. Although she continues to announce to people in the Lower 48 that she was vindicated in the Troopergate Investigation, she was not. The vote was unanimous against Palin. The unanimous vote was 12-0 vote (8 Republicans; 4 Democrats). Republican Investigator Stephen Branchflower said in his report: "I find that Governor Sarah Palin Abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act…" The report further states that "Governor Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda.." (You can read the full report on-line at adn.com - it is 263 pages). McCain sent 30 of his people to Alaska to try to stall the Troopergate Investigation. When McCain was not successful at stalling the investigation, then he tried to keep the report from being made public before the election. McCain’s people fought it all the way to the Alaska Supreme Court, but they lost all the way. The Alaska Personnel Board is now investigating Palin for other ethics violations, and complaints keep mounting.
Palin continues to bark about Obama palling around with terrorists. However, Palin’s husband, Todd, had been a member of the Alaska Independence Party for seven years. Division of Elections in Alaska confirmed that Todd Palin registered in October 1995 to the Alaska Independence Party, a radical group that advocates for Alaskan secession from the United States. He was a member until 2002. He then registered as an "undeclared" voter. Palin herself is still involved with present and past members. A quote on the AIP website from their founder, Joe Vogler "I’m an Alaskan, not an American."
There are many websites in Alaska trying to get the truth to the Lower 48 and Hawaii about Sarah Palin. I encourage all of you who have computers to log onto the Anchorage Daily News and many other Alaska websites to learn about the true Sarah Palin. Everything I have stated above can be researched on line, through legitimate governmental and Alaska news websites. Read about all the damage Palin has done to our government, to our state and to our people. Other Alaskan sites to visit are: Mudflats; Andrew Halcro; Celtic Diva, Shannyn Moore, AlaskaReal, Progressive Alaska, and many more.
I urge you to please check out the Alaska resources about Sarah Palin before you go to the polls. I do not want the American people to make the same mistake we Alaskans did when we voted Sarah Palin in as our governor. Palin was voted in as governor because Alaska is basically a Republican state. Palin ran against a very unpopular past governor, Frank Murkowski. We admit, we made a very big mistake, now we are paying dearly for it, and we will be paying for a long time. If McCain/Palin do not win the election, Palin will come back to Alaska. She will come back to a very different Alaska. Many changes have taken place since she has been gone. A movement is currently underway to either recall her or have her impeached as our governor.
Currently there is in-fighting within the McCain campaign re: Palin. McCain’s staff says she acts like a "diva." Hm. A "diva?" I wonder why that doesn’t surprise us Alaskans? Oh, yeah. I know. We already saw that part of Palin after she was elected governor. If McCain had vetted Palin, he would have found that out before now. And, trust me. All of the staff members who are complaining. She has your name, she won’t forget your name, and then you will be introduced to "Sarah Baracuda."
In September Alaskans warned Lower 48 Americans that this will happen. Alaskans have seen her in action. Palin is for Palin. She will step on anyone to get to the top - mentors, associates, friends and/or family. She is known for biting the hand that feeds her - hence the "pitbull" in her. She carries with her a lot of labels for a reason. McCain might think that these labels are cute right now, and he might think that "You Tube" and the media are his worst enemies in this election. Just wait until McCain deals with the damnation, [beeep], spit and fire of Palin on December 5. I can see it coming already on today’s news. McCain better watch out, ’cause Sarah is gonna get him - big time. She definitely is preparing a nice little "yellow brick road" for herself in 2012. She’s made her connections in the Lower 48, and she’s gonna use ‘em any way she can.
If Sarah Palin has proven that she cannot run the government for Alaskans, then how do you expect her to run the government for all Americans, God forbid should something happen to John McCain? I am tired of hearing people say: "I am voting for Palin because she is a ‘babe’." Or, "I’m voting for Palin because she relates to ‘Main Street’." And, my very favorite, "I don’t know anything about that ‘little lady from Alaska,’ but I’m voting for McCain anyway." Now, do those remarks sound like "responsible voters"?
The possibility of Palin being president one day is extremely scary. So, wake up America and be responsible voters. Please do your research before November 4th. If you are not concerned for yourselves, at least think of your childrens’ future, with McCain and Palin, your children may not have a future, they will be off fighting a McCain/Palin war somewhere.
And, today, we received some news about Alaska Senator Ted Stevens ("Uncle Ted"). A federal jury on Monday convicted U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens on all seven counts of lying on his financial disclosures, a crippling blow not just to his election chances next week but to his legacy as Alaska’s longest serving and most accomplished living politician. Palin’s message to Stevens was that she hopes he "does the right thing." And we hope she practices what she preaches.
Palin made a statement yesterday regarding the verdict handed down. "The verdict shines a light though on the corrupting influence of the big oil service company up there in Alaska that was allowed to control too much of our state, and that control was part of the culture of corruption that I was elected to fight."
Uh! Uh! Sarah. Not another lie! [beeep] that girl! What is this religion she belongs to? That "big oil service company" has a name. And it’s VECO. And, Palin knows what VECO’s name is, and she knows Bill Allen. Why? Because she also received about $5,000 from VECO when she was running for Lt. Governor. It was 10% of the amount of money she raised in her campaign. Must have slipped her mind. She probably forgot the name of the company, also, because I’m sure it shows up on her APOC statements, and she didn’t want "Small Town America" to find out that she also had her hand out to VECO for corrupt money.
And Palin also received money when she was running for governor from other corrupt politicians who are currently under indictment, but haven’t come to trial yet. She acted like she just found out they were corrupt. Not so. However, she said last month that when she gets back to Alaska she will return the money to them or give it to charity. Hello! She knew those politicians were corrupt. Everyone in Alaska knows they are corrupt. It’s been on TV; it’s been in the news. But, of course, Palin doesn’t seem to read or know what’s going on around her. Is she going to play the "idiot card" again and say, "Gee, I didn’t realize." And remember, these investigations started way before she became governor.
Okay. So what are we going to do with the airport? Now we have to change the name on that new building. [beeep]! That will probably cost us more than the $250,000 renovations on Ted’s house. God, please don’t let Palin put her name on the building. There’s 10 letters in Ted Stevens’ name and 10 letters in Sarah Palin’s name.
Hey, "doggone it" wait a darn minute! I think that "cute little Maverick" did something else "Uncle Ted" did. How about the gifts. It sure was nice of those people to give her those wonderful gifts. "Bless their hearts! They will have a place reserved in heaven." Especially if she gets indicted for it.
"Palin, who has made a crackdown on gift-giving to state officials, a centerpiece of her ethics reform agenda, has accepted gifts valued at $25,367 from industry executives, municipalities and a cultural center whose board includes officials from some of the largest mining interests in the state, a review of state records shows…"
Oh, wait a darn minute! This can’t be true. Not another one. What about the Palins’ house? Didn’t Todd say in his FOX interview that he and his buddies built the house? And wasn’t that fancy-smancy Wasilla Sport Complex being built at the same time by some buddies? And didn’t Spenard Builders get a big material contract out of the Sport complex? And didn’t they supply the materials for Palins’ house, also? OMG, don’t tell me we’re going to go through this again.
There are a lot of issues building against Palin. She is still in the midst of Troopergate. She and Todd are being sued by Wooten and Monagan. By the time she gets back to Alaska she is going to have so doggone many "gates" to deal with, she won’t know which one to open first. Maybe a recall or an indictment in her future would be more fitting?
Well, I think I said in the beginning of this post that Alaska is a Republican state. For some reason I think this just might be the last Republican year for Alaska. It looks like most of our Republicans are going to jail. Alaska is finally going Blue!! Boy, what a way to turn your state blue; send the reds to jail. I love it! (Wink! Wink!)

And wasn’t that fancy-smancy Wasilla Sport Complex being built at the same time by some buddies? And didn’t Spenard Builders get a big material contract out of the Sport complex? And didn’t they supply the materials for Palins’ house, also? OMG, don’t tell me we’re going to go through this again.
There are a lot of issues building against Palin. She is still in the midst of Troopergate. She and Todd are being sued by Wooten and Monagan. By the time she gets back to Alaska she is going to have so doggone many "gates" to deal with, she won’t know which one to open first. Maybe a recall or an indictment in her future would be more fitting?
Well, I think I said in the beginning of this post that Alaska is a Republican state. For some reason I think this just might be the last Republican year for Alaska. It looks like most of our Republicans are going to jail. Alaska is finally going Blue!! Boy, what a way to turn your state blue; send the reds to jail. I love it! (Wink! Wink!)
