Fact-checking Palin
Alaska Dispatch ^ | Feb 7, 2009 | Bob Poe

Words are important to politicians. They use them to guide perceptions of voters and the media. After all, without specific actions or measurable results, words from our elected leaders are often our only way to measure progress. The Bush Administration was remarkably adept at coining words or turning a phrase that cast many of its failures in a positive or patriotic light. As voters we should consider carefully the words Alaska leaders use to mark their progress and to describe their actions.

It is clear today there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and Saddam Hussein had no connection to the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks. It should by now be equally clear that Gov. Sarah Palin was all for open accountability in government until it included her being clear and transparent during and after the so called Troopergate investigation. As Alaskans we need to put our "skeptical listening hats" on when it comes to what the Administration is telling us about their progress toward construction of a gas pipeline and about their future initiatives.

While it is nice of the Alaska Dispatch to hire the mentally challenged, their work should be as vigorously edited for accuracy as other writers. I blame the editor.

Because they Fear Gov. Palin. Because they know she may be the best Chance the Republicans have of Taking Back the White House and recapturing the Congress.

? ? ?

This has exactly what to do with Governor Palin?

Actually it does demonstrate the desperation of leftists (communists) to try connecting something, anything, true or false, real or figment, to Governor Palin.

Pitiful.

So nothing. It was a comment due to the fact that the election is 20 months away.

Don't know why that didn't show above, but these are the lies I was refering to.

Mrs. Poe's little Bobby talks like someone spending to much time on the old bong. If it is so "clear" that Iraq didn't have any WMDs, where did all that "yellowcake" (the stuff expert tea drinker, Mr. Valerie Plame said Iraq had none of) come from that we transferred from Iraq to Canada? Sorry Bobby. Life is tough, it's a lot tougher when you're stupid. You might want to "fact check" yourself little buddy.
