Look straight ahead and ignore theses people. The idea is to depress you so that ZerObama wins.

Thick skin folks and ignore the peddlers of foul gossip.

Well let's see, she has an 80% approval rating in Alaska, so that means 20% or less at least don't supporter her or at most can't stand her.

And the press found one, or it looks like she found them or whatever, no real big surprise.

I appreciate your posting of enemy intelligence, like Patton reading Rommel we need to know what they are up to for victory.

I know that is not your intent of course...

I just received this piece of crap as an email sent out on my firearms e-list. The sender is a notorious crank and conspiracy monger, and is always ready to believe the worst about conservatives.

Thank G-d for Free Republic, where I checked first to see if there was anything posted about this (which as we can see, there was).

As well, a buddy just sent me (breathlessly, I imagine!) a copy of the infamous Palin "bikini and gun" photo, of which I found a good refutation in the Top 7 Myths, Lies and Untruths About Sarah Palin thread.

Future of fund is now - CONFERENCE: Fairbanks gathering seeks to answer governor’s questions.

EXCERPT

Another “average Alaskan” in the mix of 55 will be Anne Kilkenny , 54, of Wasilla, who described herself as a “reasonably well-informed housewife” in her self-nominating letter.

“I don’t really care too much to hear the fancy credentials of the other delegates,” she said. “I care more what they have to say.”

Mike Burns of Anchorage, the former KeyBank president who helped choose the delegates, said Kilkenny wrote her way to Fairbanks.

“If you are only looking for big names and powerful people to serve on the Conference, then you can stop reading here; that’s not me,” she wrote.

Long active in local school issues, Kilkenny says her views have been affected by her experience living on a fixed income since her husband, a union carpenter, developed leukemia, now in remission, and had to stop working.

“It made me more understanding of the fear and panic I see in older people’s eyes any time prices go up,” she said.

Kilkenny isn’t afraid to talk about taxes. She says citizens have a responsibility to support government in exchange for privileges like the dividend. She is concerned that taxes be fair.

Take the $100-per-worker head tax floated by the governor. A 23-year resident, Kilkenny recalls deducting the old across-the-board school tax from slime line workers’ checks when she was a cannery bookkeeper, sometimes leaving young people without a paycheck for their first day’s work. Cutting the dividends, she said, would be a regressive tax, meaning one that hurts poor people more than the rich.

In other ways, Kilkenny may not seem quite the average Alaskan. There is, for instance, her university 099999degree from Berkeley, not to mention the grammatical deployment of a semicolon in her nominating letter. And there is her expression of bafflement at the continued re-election of her state representative, Republican Vic Kohring, a leading proponent of shrunken government.

Still, if Murkowski were hand-picking people who agreed with him, Kilkenny would probably not have made the cut. Burns and the six other conveners were chosen by Murkowski, but said the governor’s office kept out of the delegate selection process.
