"AND here’s a question for you? If you think Sarah Palin is going to turn down a dime of ANYBODY’S money to get herself elected you are SORELY STUPID! Sarah’s going to be so wrapped up in oil and gas money, she’s going to smell like a gallon of gasoline!"

Such funding might be counterproductive to the profit motive of oil companies.

Facts about Sarah Palin (my title)

"2 - Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So, she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES". Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them "don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out." They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar."

Palin brought extra, "early funding for [public] education" (Alaska State).

Governor Palin Signs Domestic Violence Legislation

From a Palin speech transcript:

"My mom and dad both worked at the elementary school in our small town. And among the many things I owe them is a simple lesson that I’ve learned, that this is America, and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity...I love those hockey moms. You know, they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick. So I signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education even better. And when I ran for city council,...This was the spirit that brought me to the governor’s office when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau, when I stood up to the special interests, and the lobbyists, and the Big Oil companies, and the good-old boys...When oil and gas prices went up dramatically and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged: directly to the people of Alaska. And despite fierce opposition from oil company lobbyists, who kind of liked things the way that they were, we broke their monopoly on power and resources. As governor, I insisted on competition and basic fairness to end their control of our state and return it to the people."

lol, Don’t worry, I know all about Sarah’s great success stories...she is a blessing to us all and would be as president should she run.

But I’m not naive...it’s going to take a buttload of somebody’s money to make it happen, as well as any dimes I can send her way.

And I know that I can trust her with it, just like I know I can trust Governor Perry, also.
