How Sarah Palin Handled Corruption
American Thinker ^ | 03 sept 08 | Cynical Alaskan

Posted on 09/03/2008 3:46:05 AM PDT by rellimpank

From an Alaskan who is a very serious cynic about all things political, here is my take on Sarah.

I met and spoke with Sarah Palin about two years ago at our downtown park strip. It is a place for walking, carnivals, political outdoor things and such. She was cooking hotdogs at a fund raiser and introducing herself to the public as a Governor hopeful.

She came by and said the usual "Hi, I'm Sarah Palin and I am running for Governor"...and I expected her to keep on to the next person but she asked me who I was and what I did in Alaska and we ended up talking for 15 minutes about me, Air America (she was all agog!) and my career in the Army and AAM. She is a pilot (Super Cub) I'm told, although all she told me about that was that she loved flying.

She embodies all that is good in our country, and I hope she has a lot of fun kicking the crap out of the dimwit democraps!

The more I read about her, the more I like. If for some reason, she and John McCain are not elected, I may just relocate to Alaska.

No, we won’t see this on TV, but I’m sure the Dem’s opposition research has all of this info, which is why they are pulling out all the stops to destroy her. They fear an honest leader.

I thought she would make an excellent vice-presidential candidate months ago. After reading this, I think she will make an excellent president in 2012 or sooner. No wonder the libs are panicking.

Attacks so far:

1 Her 17 year-old daughter did what thousands of 17 year old daughters do: got pregnant.

2 Her husband, a roughneck, got a DUI 20 years ago (sound familiar?)

3 She’s suffering through one of those bogus, retaliatory investigations initiated by the people who’s corruption she fought.

4 Barack Hussein Obama was just on the Today Show, sneering because she comes from a small town, which has fewer city employees than his campaign. I am amazed.

If she and John McCain are not elected, I’d ask for her to move to Michigan and run for Governor here.

What they really fear is she's not an elitist. She's one of us.

” 4 Barack Hussein Obama was just on the Today Show, sneering because she comes from a small town, which has fewer city employees than his campaign. I am amazed. “

Someone ought to show BO and the MSM (sounds like a really bad hippity-hop band) the county-by-county map from the ‘04 election. The one where all the towns the size of Sarah’s whipped the Dems butts. They always disrespect rural America at their own snobbish peril.

So do I, and so does my formerly apolitical wife, too.

I have never seen her express any interest in politicians- until Sarah's acceptance speech.

That, had her cheering. And the more mud the Left slings, the madder she gets.

This is all going to be very "interesting..."

The Dems and MSM will push the Trooper story to their own demise.

“This dimwit Trooper had threatened Sarah’s father (death threat!), threatened Sarah (”I’ll get you too”), Tasered his 12 year old stepson, drove drunk in his AST cruiser, got a pass by a fellow Trooper who stopped him for erratic driving a second time while in civvies, and just a host of other things not yet released to the public.”

Nah, you shouldn't give them a clue about that. Let them keep guessing, and let them keep whipped.

According to the FAA’s website it is her husband that is the pilot, not her. Chris - PP-ASEL/IA.
