I can give you a great example of how she governed like Reagan in one instance. One of my favorite Reagan stories is how he went right over the heads of Congress and the MSM to appeal directly to the people of American about the need to pass his economic plan. He gave a special address to the nation and asked people to wire and call their congressmen to tell them to get behind the Reagan plan. And the switchboards in D.C. were flooded! The response was unprecedented. Tip O'Neill was stunned and famously told Reagan, "you really beat us."
Byron York recounts this story about Palin:
And then there was the time earlier this year when she fought to cut Alaska’s business-licensing fee from $100 to $50 a year. (It had risen from $25 to $100 during the Murkowski administration.) Frustrated by the legislature’s inaction, Palin went to Alaska’s department of commerce and got the e-mail addresses of 23,000 business owners in the state. She then sent them a message, saying the $100 fee “has caused a hardship for those who are helping grow our economy, especially people who operate home-based and part-time businesses.” Legislators were angry — some accused Palin of inappropriate lobbying — but she won the day, and the fee was cut.
Classic Reagan manuever. Go over the greedy legislature and appeal directly to the people. Do you seriously doubt this woman's fiscal conservative creds?
BTW, one of the promises she made when she ran for mayor is that she would cut her own salary if elected because she fought the incumbent mayor when he got the rest of the City Council to raised his salary by $4,000. Once elected, she asked the City Council to vote to cut her salary by $4,000. And they did.
Shutting down Palin EastCoast operations for the night. You had a good run!
Carry on.
