The Tale of Two Women, Palin vs Michelle Obama

By, Alaskan Fisherman.

As posted in comments on Greta's article referencing the MOVEON ad about Sarah Palin.

The last 45 of my 66 years I’ve spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska. I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year.  Here's the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it.   It's not about persona, style, rhetoric, it's about doing things.   Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I'm about to mention here.

1. Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the Governor's office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican's "Corrupt Bastards Club” (CBC) and sent them packing.  Many of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits.  The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and singing, "la la la la" (well, you know how they are).  Name another governor in this country that has ever done anything similar.


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.

3. The other thing she did when she walked into the governor's office is she got the list of State requests for federal funding for projects, known as "pork."  She went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in the "when-hell-freezes-over” stack.  She let locals know that if we need something built, we'll pay  for it ourselves.  Maybe she figured she could use the money she  got from selling the previous governor's jet because it was extravagant.  Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor's  cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the  State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and  dismissing her State provided security force (never mentioning - I imagine  - that she's packing heat herself).  I'm still waiting to hear the names of those other governors.

4. Now, even with her much-ridiculed  "gosh and golly" mannerism, she also managed to put together a totally new  approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built which will be the biggest  private construction project in the history of North America .  No one else could do it although they tried.  If that doesn't impress you, then you're trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand.

5. For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called Point Thompson.  They made excuses the entire time why they couldn't start drilling.  In truth they were holding it like an investment.  No governor for 30 years could make them get started.  Then, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them out.  They protested and threatened court action.   She shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to the court house.  Alaska won again.

6. President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources for electricity by 2025.  Sarah went to the legislature and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewable by 2025.  We are already at 25%.  I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and persona.   Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, and look cool.  But that's just a cover-up.

 I'm still waiting to hear from liberals the names of other governors who can match what
mine has done in two and a half years.  I won’t be holding my breath.

By the way, she was content to return to AK after the national election and go to work, but the haters wouldn't let her.  Now these adolescent screechers are obviously not scuba divers.  And no one ever told them what happens when you continually jab and pester a barracuda.  Without warning, it will spin around
and tear your face off.  Shoulda known better.

You have just read the truth about Sarah Palin that sends the media, along with the democrat party, into a wild uncontrolled frenzy to discredit her.  I guess they are only interested in skirt chasers, dishonesty, immoral people, liars, womanizers, murderers and bitter ex presidents' wives.

So "You go, Girl."  I only wish the men in Washington had your guts, determination, honesty, and morals.
I rest my case.   Only FOOLS listen to the biased media.  

If you've read this far  ......... now open your eyes..........

Note:  This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and "First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom  traveled aboard Air Force One to  Europe .

Twits on twitter

I have been exploring different parts of Twitter for the past several day and what I have found is just plain scary. There are sites dedicated to all views and people from all walks of life. The most vile and disturbing people seem to be on one particular site RT#p2-tcot.

 These people are from the progressive left, I mean far, far, far left. They constantly spew hatred for anything that is not total agreement with their point of view. When I have tried to hold a conversation with these people they resort to name calling, blocking messages and will not accept or debate any opposing view.
Though, I am an independent thinker and usually piss people off from the left and the right,the right theocracy people especially, the venom from the left is quite disturbing. They continually degrade and insult people, especially Sarah Palin and Glen Beck. I don't know if they are afraid of them or if most them are just repeating what they hear. They never seem to address the comments made these people only attack the messenger. When they do say something that was said by Palin or Beck, they take it so far out context, that they bastardize the comment so much as to not be noteworthy.
These people are just plain scary. They seem to follow blindly down the path of misinformation put out by their social leaders, Obama, Pelosi and Reid. They question nothing, only believe what they are told and repeat the lies so much that they must believe that they are true.
I think I have had enough. They talk about racism and hatred on the right and blame social ills on everyone but their selves. They will never reach across the isle to work with opposing view, they will only whine, piss and moan when they don't get their way.
Its a sad state of affairs when people can be lead down a path of destruction and never even know it. These same people will blame everyone but their selves for their own current circumstance in life. They will depend on the government to make things right in their lives, never once admitting that they are to blame.
Since when was it OK for the government to take something from someone who earned it and give it to those who refuse to even try.
When the Democrats run everything for forty years, all they ever did was to keep social program in place to keep the down trotted coming back to the polls. With every election the promises of a cradle to grave society grew until we get to where we are today. Now, with Obama, Reid and Pelosi in charge, they have become dictators and are forcing new laws upon the people weather wanted or not. The Health Care Reform bill is just a prelude to what is to come. When they can pass a bill that over 65% of the population didn't want, it shows that their desire for control out weighs the desires of the people
The people on this twitter page are more than willing to accept the promises of social reform and government control and long as it comes from the left. If these same issues would had been on the right side of the isle, I believe that the rage over being force to purchase insurance or be fined, would be heard on every news cast night and day. They would be calling for removal of the people who went against the will of the people and voted for a law that they didn't approve of.
They say the right is full of hate?
