SO they accused her of complicit to murder and go after her & FAMILY negatively for over two years in a way like no one since Reagan before becoming President and now after all of that they (MSM) will present her ragged to the public and say, she can be the one by pumping her up?
That’s nuts and makes no sense!
She is prepared, we have article and speeches on her tackling every issue out there, she has presented her on policy on military engagement that no one else has done, She actually cut the government in Alaska, she got a surplus and she reduced earmarks that came across her desk by 90% if I recalled correctly. Just saying that she isn’t ready doesn’t make it so
Typical breathless adolescent ardor.
My disenchantment with Sarah Palin is due to what I have heard and read from her. I've read enough of "her" book to know when a person has read the books by the people they quote and when they go to a page of quotes on the Internet to pepper their MEDIA with supposed indication of their education.
Palin has supported both carbon caps and The Law of the Sea Treaty. Defend that. Her first veto was to kill a bill that would have precluded healthcare benefits to gays and lesbians pursuant to a court order that was in direct violation of the separation of powers principle. Explain that. Palin multiplied Wasilla's debt to build a health club and "community center" when a private auditorium and 24-Hour Fitness could have done the job. Defend that. Wasilla's city budget increased 55% during her administration. Defend that. Her last State budget had a $1.36 billion deficit. Explain that. Palin's oil tax scheme is so byzantine that it chased drillers out of Alaska and back to Texas. Defend that. Sure it's easy to be a popular when the State is paying people for being State residents, but why should one industry bear such a disproportionate burden for supplying State revenue?
Further, it looks to me like spending increased during her administration rather significantly on the strength of high oil prices, and she quit just as revenues began to fall as oil prices fell.
| Fiscal Year | Expenditures (billions) | GDP (billions) |
|---|---|---|
| 2005 | $10.0 [13] | $39.3 [13] |
| 2006 | $10.8 [13] | $43.1 [13] |
| 2007 | $11.6 [13] | $44.5 [13] |
| 2008 | $12.5 [13] | $46.0 [13] |
| 2009 | $13.4* [13] | $47.5* [13] |
But besides all that, the main reason Palin has earned my disrespect is for her glowy generalizations that mean NOTHING when it comes to substantive policy decisions. Every softball interview I've seen on Hannity has left me waiting for substance. Instead, every time I hear that screechy happy talk, I just cringe. I couldn't care less what anybody else thinks.
At this point, conservatives should be advancing those whose experience, thoughtfulness, communications skills and PROVEN RECORD of both commitment to limited government and the skill and courage to enact spending cuts, I prefer Pence, Johnson, and Santorum, none of whom are supported by "GOP elites." Herman Cain sounds good, but I'm not ready to vote for a former board member of the Federal Reserve without hearing a lot more specifics.
So, I think she's either a stealth RINO (why else would McCain pick her?) or she's sufficiently malleable that the RINOs think they can sway her once she's in office. After all, the media LOVE Sarah Palin, or else they wouldn't have given her a second of air time. They know that to a politician, face time is life itself. They know that they can simultaneously poison independents, galvaniza leftist hatred, AND get a horde of frustrated teenagers charging to her rescue on white horses simply by bashing her. She's gained a great deal from all the media she's received and She knows it. How else could she have afforded that $1.7 million house she just bought in Arizona?
Ah well, love is blind.
