Who needs that $25,000 with the book deal she’s going to get? :)

Smiley?

I doubt that Slickness, Hillary, The Big "O" or any other rat would do the same thing.

So America could have had a fiscally responsible, abuse-fighting open-book vice-president.

Instead, we have a scandal-ridden spend-a-holic closed-book president-elect and his idiotic nepotistic sidekick.

It's amazing the pay raises offered to government employee and elected government officials. Many in the working class only earn about $25,000 per year...And their offering the equivalent of an annual income as pay raise?

lol...

No wonder so many look at government nowadays with utter contempt.

This should be INTERNATIONAL headline news.

Of course, if she accepted the pay raise, the media would be all over it.

Do you know which VA congressmen voted for the pay raise? I'm especially interested in how Randy Forbes and Eric Cantor voted.

Contrast this with our Congress who just took another pay hike.

“She doesn’t just think like one of us, she IS one of us.”

Indeed. Unlike RINOs, she doesn’t just play a conservative on TV.

it’s the 7% cut in state spending that really impresses me...I don’t think we’ll hear much from romney or huck anymore since they were never able to cut spending like that when they were governors.

Well, y’all do, dontcha?

Seriously, yes the cowards in the media will lead their propaganda with the always trusty:

“Some have said”

“Some have said that Governor Palin is actually refusing this pay raise in a grandstanding effort to actually surreptitiously obtain a much larger, hidden, highly mysterious, under the table kickback from her greedy white Christian friends in BigOil, who by the way are raping Mother Gaia at this very moment.”

“-so what. Its the right think to decline tax payer money ESPEICALLY if she’s getting a big book deal.”

Wrong you are, grasshopper. If you are doing your job and there is a chance for a pay raise for you because of the job you are doing, then your personal financial situation is not considered. I’ve gotten many raises in my lifetime and I never had to discuss what other ventures I may have had on the sad. My merit raises were based on my performance. If I wrote a book or a song, or invented something and made a fortune, why should my employer get out of offering me a raise if it is warranted?

She deserves both the pay raise and the book deal. They are separate financial transactions IMHO.
