Its nice that you let other people decide for you Inna. Hell, I mean, what better way to honor your right to vote

PS Forgot to add, that most republicans, that are part of the state machine, hate Palin for the simple fact that she turned many of their chums over to the police

In the video, it states that the Chairman of the Republican party wont even talk with her, because she turned him in for ethics violations

"this really says it all: "

Oh please. She's attacked the Republican leadership in Alaska for its corruption and clearly is not a favorite of its leadership. So you assume without any independent analysis that anything negative said about her by an Alaskan Republican must be true?

"who here, if you had your net worth tied up in one company you founded, would hire john mccain to run it? "

If my two candidates were him and Obama, I'd pick him. He has more of a record of bending his preconceptions to the reality of the situation; in other words, he's more practical, reaching out for compromises if necessary, which is what you want in leadership in a business that deals with the real world rather than ideological theory. Obama is just a partisan who rarely if ever deviates from the party line. You don't want an ideologue running your business. They would run it into the ground before realizing that what they want to believe doesn't necessarily comport with reality.

scott.....he had 4 times cancer.....still in remission and it could pop up at any time again.....
and the form of cancer he had is potentially fatal.

"This must be the talking point of the day"

Man your hypocrisy is breathtaking. You have been doing nothing other than spouting Daily Kos talking points ever since Palin was nominated.

"Try to equate a PTA member with Obama"

This is hysterical. The Obamaics trying to argue that at least Obama isn't as inexperienced as Palin, except:

1. Obama is running for president, not vice-president, so his inexperience is obviously more significant

2. Palin has had executive experience in two different public offices. But she was in the PTA, so I guess that for some reason known only to Nolen erases her being governor. In contrast Obama has had zero executive experience, even though the presidency is an executive position. Most of the few years he's spent in elected office and the three or so years in the Senate as one vote among a hundred has been pursuing higher political ambitions

"The only person who called criticizing inexperience a "smear" was someone from your side in response to criticisms of Obama's inexperience. "


Was this before or after it was considered racist?

<<And just remember; anybody who criticizes Obama for any of his policies is either a racist or is attacking his patriotism. >>

You should be able to provide links for this then since it is so ubiquitous.

obama has zero executive government experience
biden has zero executive government experience
mccain has zero executive government experience
palin does have executive government experience

so what now?

<<Uhm, she's governor now.

For 20 months. And Zero foreign policy experience.

<<Since no one has brought that up here, it only serves as a red herring

We are talking about experience, this includes foreign policy experience. Subsequently you are once again using a term incorrectly.

Dont be a complete waste of type on the page. this blog goes backs months and it is from folks in the area leaving what they think and feel about the Governor and the 1st Dude. If you are unable to take in different points of view and only think that some fox blog and others like are worth reading it are wetting themselves with joy at their mission accomplished in the metrics department.

Palin's Abuse of Power
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 2008-07-18 14:01.
The messages on this blog seem to be concentrating on the issue with Trooper Wooten; however, I see some other truths in your message. "Walt Monegan got fired because he had the audacity to tell Governor Palin no, when apparently nobody is allowed to say no to Governor Palin." "According to the Legislative Finance Agency, the public safety budget in fy09 was cut by .06% while the governor's own budget increased 22.6%." Since she first took over many shady deals have taken place within the State system. She has appointed friends to exempt positions with no experience in the area they were working in. These people then proceed to run their Departments or Divisions as they see fit, promoting employees in the classified services promotions without a recruitment process, changing job duties at will (without rewriting job decsriptions), rewriting job descriptions that give some employee promotions to new positions and other employees the work they are supposed to be doing for the "new job". The atmosphere is such that employees cannot say anything about these problems without being punished in various suble and not so subtle ways. The Gov. is also expanding her Anchorage office by about 20 office spaces, requiring other state employees to move so her office can have more space. Someone should look into the turnover that happened in many departments. Look at the number of long term employees that left, look at the number of vacancies, look at how long it takes to fill vacancies. Morale among State employees is as low as I have ever seen it in over 20 years. Yet we recently got the following message requesting that we make suggestions on how to cut the budget. "From: Rehfeld, Karen J (GOV) Subject: $20 Million Savings Target Good Morning – I have received some feedback from legislators who are hearing from their constituents that we are “cutting the FY09 budget” and impacting services. In response, I explained the governor’s concern about managing the growth in the operating budget and her goal in setting the $20 million savings target. I let them know that we have asked agencies to see what we may be able to accomplish in savings in FY09 by managing those things we have control over, finding efficiencies, and implementing changes in business processes and practices that could ultimately result in some savings. We used 2.9% of GF personal services to establish the savings target so that departments would have a number to work toward, but we did not suggest that savings would have to come from personal services. We encourage departments to look at all line items for potential savings. We typically end up with a GF lapse at the end of the year without imposing any savings targets. We have NOT asked agencies to cut services or positions. We have suggested delaying the filling of vacant positions or reassigning work, if possible, to achieve some savings. " I am thinking that maybe Walt Monegan told her that her could not cut the budget further without cutting services. There are many other things happening that people are afraid to talk about because we need our jobs.
