Long-lost Sarah Palin surfaces in emails Once, there was a different Sarah Palin.
Politico ^ | June 11, 2011 | MOLLY BALL

Posted on 06/11/2011 6:02:30 PM PDT by Hojczyk

She was hands-on and averse to partisan politics. She championed openness in government and had normal relations with the media. She was a little starstruck by her interactions with national politicians but unafraid to do battle with the chief executives of the world’s largest oil companies

The emails from her governorship, released Friday, brought back the memory of a long-lost Palin: the popular, charismatic, competent woman of the people.

Far from being a knee-jerk partisan, she praises then-Sen. Barack Obama for his energy ideas — “pretty cool,” even though he is the “wrong candidate.” She derides the Republican establishment just weeks before being picked for the ticket, writing, “we need to remember the GOP, for the most part … especially the AK machine … has not had any support or assistance provided our administration so our time and efforts will continue to be spent on serving Alaskans, not party politics.”

Palin has stated climatechange is occurring but thinks it’s natural and not manmade. And she is right we are at the tail end of an interglacial period that has asted about 20,000 years.

Translation: “We’ve spent three years dumpster diving in Wasilla, making up lies and spreading rumors about Palin, and she’s come through it all smarter, stronger and more savvy while we’ve come up with nothing while looking like big jerks so we’re trying to save face”

FU MSM

“someone from Homeland Security/Emergency Management needs to call me and inform me on things like this … “

There was another email where she said that she had been asked if she was attending a soldier’s funeral, and was embarrassed that she knew nothing about it. She sounded pretty mad that she hadn’t heard anything about it, and wanted to get things set up so she could attend when “my boys” are either shipping off, or there is a memorial service for them. (Turned out there was a monthly memorial service for them).

The media smeared Palin and her family and now they call her a shrew because she is now media savvy and knows better than to trust them because they will distort anything she says.

After the Charlie Gibson interview, the MSM was claiming “Palin wants to go to war with Russia”

I would like to see any politician undergo the scrutiny that Palin has and come out of not only clean, but stronger and wiser.

Now it’s your turn Obama - release your college transcripts and emails for starters and let’s see how clean you come out of it.

The MSM has NEVER sunk to such depths before and they ended up with egg on their faces and are now trying to spin it into “Palin was electronically raped by us, and now she’s vindictive towards us. What a bitch!”

Not to mention the attacks on her kids.

MSM = SCUM

BTW, when is the MSM going to have 10 reporters “fact check” Obama’s book?

I hate the MSM more than they hate Palin.

The difference is, they gave me a reason to hate them.

Media is trying to cover their own sorry, lying, rear ends. They hoped to get good dirt on Sarah from these emails. Now that they look like fools and liers, they are trying to spin and make an alternate narrative.

So, Perry is the nominee of the month now. What happened to President Trump?

I can answer my own query. Trump bumped into that “m****** f*****” President Daniels on his way to the White House.

Has anyone bothered to check back to what Obama said in that energy speech?

IIRC, one of the proposals was increased drilling in Alaska.

I since read somewhere that it was (maybe also?) in favor of the gas pipeline (which he of course is now trying to sabotage).

"The Alaska Climate Change Committee was to determine and study what effects climate change would have on Alaskans."


It went further than that and actually sought federal money to support initiatives that the left has long supported. You might want to go back and read the 2007 Executive Order: http://www.gov.state.ak.us/admin-orders/238.html She sought federal funding for the work of the panel: 8. the identification of federal and state mechanisms for financing climate change activities in Alaska, including research and adaptation projects; Support for the notion of greenhouse gas registries: 9. the potential benefits of Alaska participating in regional, national, and international climate policy agreements and greenhouse gas registries; Intent to join the carbon-trading market. (The carbon-trading market can only exist if there are carbon caps, hence the phrase "cap and trade") 13. the opportunities for Alaska to participate in carbon-trading markets, including the offering of carbon sequestration;

"he email was about how Obama’s speech was good BECAUSE he stoled HER ideas."


Just like he stole Romney's ideas on health care reform. I did not consider it a plus for Romney when he Obama stole his ideas and I do not consider it a plus that he stole Sarah's. Those ideas include the 2007 Order on climate change, which called for seeking federal funding of such schemes as carbon registries and joining carbon trading markets. (basically cap and trade)
