The frivolous lawsuits against Palin cost Alaska taxpayers $2 Mil. She left so as not to cost them more. Besides, she had already done EVERYTHING that she had promised to do.
What pundits should be talking about when it comes to Palin
As governor in 2007, Palin was responsible for the largest veto totals in state history, while investing $1 billion in forward-funding education and fulfilling public safety and infrastructure necessities.
Palin reduced spending by 9.5% from 2007 to 2010 and slashed earmark requests by over 80% during her time as governor.
Palin tossed out the corruption-ridden, structurally-flawed Petroleum Profits Tax of the Murkowski administration and put forth ACES (Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share), which incentivized development while seeing to it that Alaskans — resource owners as per the Alaska Constitution — would receive “A CLEAR and EQUITABLE SHARE (ACES) of the value of their commonly-owned oil and gas.” The result? Alaska was left with a $12 billion surplus. Also, as reported at Big Government, “The number of oil companies filing with the Alaska Department of Revenue has doubled, indicating that competition has indeed increased. Alaska has the second most business friendly tax set-up — up two spots since the passage of ACES. Additionally, a report from Governor Parnell’s Department of Revenue indicated that 2009 yielded a record high in oil jobs.”
No, ya got that wrong, buddy.
For every grade, elementary school through college, Sarah Palin's grade average was at least 2 points higher than Obama's.
In courses such as economics, she was 3 grades above him.
Hey, if you want to live in a cage with a sign that says "FOOL" posted on the bars, complain to your mama if people throw peanuts at you.
I wanna go see the tigers :)
You sound like a broken record.
“.....complete idiot as far as foreign policy goes.....”
I believe that Sarah Palin is the only (soon to be) candidate that gets invited by various foreign countries to speak at their political events, because, even if you won’t, they recoginize Sarah as a major force in US politics/world politics.
Squid???? Say isn’t that an invertibrate that spews ink when it’s scared? Your screen name was well chosen...... Run along now little fish before a big fish comes along and devours you.....ink and all........
You’ve been freeping for a long time but I see a zot in your future. Best stop the baiting.
I just don’t know how you do it. Your posting history reveals you are quite the pious one, except for when you are insulting your opponents for their lack of intelligence, which is most of the time. What I don’t understand about it is how you can labor so hard at a proper understanding of the covenants, yet you blissfully ignore the weightier matters of Christian life, such as loving one’s enemies, speaking truth in love, loving justice, and speaking with grace. As another here has already reminded you, Jesus specifically instructs us against calling one another fools. You decry war but you plant the seeds of war with your senseless insults. You revile Palin as somehow less than Christian for believing God still cares for Israel in their unbelief (see Romans 11), yet you resort to the markedly unchristian practice of using false accusation and slander to diminish her.
For example, her intelligence has been objectively verified and even admitted by her opponents. She was an honors student in high school, she was recently praised by one of her college professors as one the best student writers he ever taught, and her prowess as Alaska’s governor was put on display for all the world to see in those 24,000 emails recently released. My dad was a professional educator for over 40 years, and he worked with the very bright and the very dull and all the rest of us in between, and he would often tell me that one of the surest guides to true general intelligence was language capacity. Palin has it, and it is simply not honest to borrow untrue leftist slanders to the contrary as a means of diminishing her.
The “quitter” meme is also a false accusation, if somewhat more subtle. It is an implied attack on her character without a factual justification. My good friends here on FR too often respond to the charge by immediately listing the valid reasons for her resignation. But its really the premise that’s the problem. If you quit smoking, are you a quitter? Sure you are, and a good thing, too. Have you ever quit a job? More than once? Doesn’t that make you a quitter too? Or does it sound different when applied to you? Why? Because you no doubt had good reason to quit what you quit. Or not. But Palin isn’t allowed to show her reasons. You are, but she isn’t. You know what the Biblical word is for double standard? Hypocrisy. What does your version of the Bible teach about God’s opinion of hypocrites? Because in my version, it gets pretty ugly.
One more thought before I go. Our word Devil comes from the Greek word diabolos. You know what that means in English? To slander. Put that in your conservative good ol boy pipe and smoke on it for a while, if you catch my drift.
She got her four year degree in four and a half years, not bad against a five and a half year average nation wide.
Twenty years political experience and ten of those years in an executive position.
Her position papers put her way out in front of Obama and the pundits.
So what rock have you been hiding under SQUID?
