In the last 3 years, Ak has banked 14 billion from her oil tax changes; heck before that most the oil fields were not paying any taxes for the State's oil. Palin put Big Oil back in their place quick. She scared the heck outta the majority of crooked Repubs (we have a mess of them too), put some in jail.
Parnell & the Repub Party up here still hasn't been able to take it back to where it was before Palin, the corruption I mean; but they are sure trying.
One thing about Palin, she does what is right for the people and good government and she ain't scared to shake the tree; I'll give her that.
When I talk to people, they all say it was much better when Palin was gov in Ak; even the dems.
That is nice to hear especially because I’ve read posts on other sites from people who claim to be from Alaska and some have said really awful things. I had a hard time reconciling these comments with her 85% approval rating. Who knows, maybe these people are really sitting in the White House basement and never set a foot in Alaska.
I do think a lot of the reason much of the GOP sticks their nose in the air at the mention of Sarah is that they’re afraid of what would happen to their gravy trains if she became POTUS.
