City Hall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wasilla_City_Hall.jpg
In the town of Wasilla, Sarah had oversight of 25 Wasilla officers, and caused the city to go over budget on the Wasilla Multi-Use Sports Complex, so she increased the city sales tax to pay for it, then it ended up in a eminent domain lawsuit. She’s your maverick McCain, a blazing executive idiot.
Palin hired the Anchorage-based lobbying firm of Robertson, Monagle & Eastaugh to lobby for earmarks for Wasilla. The effort was led by Steven Silver, a former chief of staff for Senator Ted Stevens, to secure $27 MILLION EARMARKED funding.
$15 million was for ski resort project linking Wasilla and community of Girdwood. THESE EARMARKS WERE CRITICIZED BY GUESS? SENATOR MCCAIN!
In 2002, term limits prevented Palin from running for a third term as mayor. Her stepmother-in-law, Faye Palin, ran for the office but lost the election to Dianne Keller after Sarah Palin endorsed Keller, her cousin.Yeah, she RAILS against breakin up the good ole boy gang, with ethics of her own. She’s not shy! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin
For 18 years, Todd worked for BP Oil in the North Slope oil fields of Alaska. In 2007, there was a conflict of interest, he took a leave from his $92,790 paying job as production supervisor when his employer became involved in natural gas pipeline negotiations with his wife's administration and 7 months later the family needed more income, so Todd returned to BP, and again in order to avoid potential conflict of interest he accepted a non-management position as a production operator. This 2007 tax earnings apparently doesn't take Sarah's income in to account.
Todd Palin's name is mentioned on our news reports here, regarding the actions of Mike Wooten and the firing of Alaska State Trooper Walter Monegan. Todd Palin acted on behalf of Governor Sarah Palin and her extended family in discussing Wooten with Monegan. At one point, Todd took information he prepared and a private investigator to talk to the POLICE CHIEF Monegan.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE, instead of EXAMPLE OF LEADING ~~Bill Clinton - Aug 27, 2008 speech at convention
Yesterday, I wrote about how McCain was attacking Barack's fund raising and included all the emails from McCains campaign managers:
http://www.democrats.org/page/community/post/michellepernula/Cgzd
We know from experience this attack on Barack's funding is direct from GWB's own playbook to cover McCain's own corruption and corrosive ways.
Let's examine and connect the dots as to why McCain would focus on BO in an effort to cover his own backside.
First take a look at Scheunemann, how he relates to McCain, and Georgian conflict and unethical practices. Read More »
We have to be grateful to Hillary too. She fought a hard campaign and was so very gracious giving this beautiful gift to Barack. She didn't hesitate in grabbing that mike and taking charge in reading the proclamation to nominate Barack. My heart swells with grief, pride and joy simultaneously. We lost a beautiful sister, but gained a beautiful brother. And in gaining that brother, we made leaps of unity.
Right after the Democratic Roll Call and this monumental nomination, what would have the audacity to slap my tearful senses and stop my melting into the floor? McCain's commercial arrived on my television screen, picking on Barack for not taking Hillary as a VP. Can you believe it, I thought? This dark haired girl proclaims, "Now go ahead and vote him (McCain), it's ok, really." And walks off.
So yeah, so let's mirror this, like I keep preachin! "Go ahead, vote Barack, really, it's OK, and EVEN Hillary said it's ok. Really I saw it with my own eyes, it's okay, REALLY!" Then walk off and vote.
Can you imagine what this will do to Shawn Hannity and Rush Limbaugh? Fat guys are having coronary day!
Celebrate! Cheer! Rejoice! I am. :)
Here's a portion of 2 messages I got from McCain's manager: Rick Davis
(warning - they're shaking in their knee boots...you know, the ones they wear to walk thru their own sh@t).
"My opponent broke his pledge to the American people to accept public financing during the general election - a pledge I have kept. The Obama Democrats are raising unprecedented amounts of money. They and their liberal special interest allies - Big Labor, MoveOn.org, Hollywood elites and other left-wing groups - plan to spend nearly $1 BILLION in an effort to mow over Republican candidates with negative and misleading attack ads that will play non-stop across our country's airwaves from now until Election Day (LOL, how many Hillary commercials have they done? I heard today it's FIVE! Carry on!)
- especially in the essential swing states. Despite what the Obama Democrats and the liberal media would have you believe, my campaign and the RNC rely on the generous voluntary contributions of Republican activists like you for the support we need to answer their barrage of assaults with the truth. Our immediate goal is to reach 2 million individual supporters by the night our Convention ends - September 4th.
After naming his running-mate, Senator Joe Biden, our campaign believes Senator Obama will receive a bump in polling numbers after this week's Democratic Convention in Denver. Senator Obama's bump in the polls means we need to re-double our efforts this week as we head into our own Convention starting September 1st. We're focused on electing the man we all know is ready to lead, a man who puts his country before all else, John McCain. (NOT!) That's why I'm asking you to make an immediate donation to our campaign As of September 1st, we'll be limited in the amount of money we can spend to elect John McCain. Senator Obama broke his promise to accept federal funds and will be able to spend WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DEFEAT US. (EXPLAINS WHY THEY'RE WEARING THEIR PUTTING ON THEIR HIP WADERS, THEY'RE GOING TO GET FLOODED!!) Any amount you can give today - up to the legal limit of $2,300 will go a long way. (LOL. THEY AREN'T ASKING FOR $5, $10, BUT SUGGESTING $2,300...YOU KNOW, POCKET CHANGE!!! THEY JUST DON'T GET IT, DO THEY??)

Didn't your mom ever teach you respect for others?
BLOW A KISS - NOT A BULLET!!
These guys wanted to assassinate Barack Obama last night.
They want to HURT...
THESE PEOPLE!
I think we can end this thing, here and now! She's going to be the highlight of this whole convention. SHE DELIVERED. She's gorgeous inside and out. She's already brought my tears and humbled me and inspired me. Today as I ironed, I thought about how she seemed...well, I thought cold, but that's not it, then I thought strong or unfriendly, but no, that's not it! After watching the documentary tonight, it answered that question of who she is: she learned from her father to be respectful at all cost. So, she reserved and respectful and graciousness to each person she meets. That's not cold, or unfriendly, it's smart.
She will be someone that little girls aspire to and her two daughters are already off to a good start with this great mama. Her mother should be very honored and proud. I cried when her mom said she looks up to her daughter, my mom just said this very comment to me. This Michelle and Michelle Obama have good mom's.
Wonderful job Michelle. Excellent! You're the bomb. I felt your passion for your man, for working hard and desire to save our country (this poor struggling country and hated country due to the cowboy in the capitol who likes to saber rattle...Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Georgia, but still failed to do Pakistan and find his friend and bro Osama Bin Laden).
Funny too, I posted this way before someone else here, they posted it negatively and I got bumped off and he received more comments, go figure. Maybe I should switch my methods here, people are drawn and love the negativity. Why I'm leaving soon...

Did anyone even pursue due diligence? Thank you in advance. (I noticed on pg 5, he inserted the wrong age, then Maya? was born after he was, so she can't testify that she was present at his birth. But he claims the birth certificate that BO presents is a fraudulent one, it belongs to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama's half-sister. Does BO have another Kenyan sister that would have attended his birth? His mother was age 18, and if he had 2 siblings that attended his birth, making him the 3rd child, she would have started her family at age 14. LOL. I know he has a large family, I just don't recall the numbers.)

I want someone to challenge me, to debate me. ~~ BO
Russian President Medvedev met the President-in-Office of the European Union, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and approved a six-point peace plan. Late that night Georgian President Saakashvili agreed to the text. Sarkozy's plan originally had just the first four points. Russia added the fifth and sixth points. Georgia asked for the additions in parentheses, but Russia rejected them, and Sarkozy convinced Georgia to agree to the unchanged text.
1. No recourse to the use of force.
2. Definitive cessation of hostilities.
3. Free access to humanitarian aid (addition rejected: and to allow the return of refugees).
4. Georgian military forces must withdraw to their normal bases of encampment.
5. Russian military forces must withdraw to the lines prior to the start of hostilities. While awaiting an international mechanism, Russian peacekeeping forces will implement additional security measures (addition rejected: six months).
6. Opening of international discussions on the modalities of lasting security in Abkhazia and South Ossetia (addition rejected: based on the decisions of the U.N. and the O.S.C.E.).
According to RIA Novosti (Someone here at Party Builder ragged on me that this is a biased site since it's Russian...LOL. Anyway, Novosti...), "Sarkozy told a briefing after talks with his Georgian counterpart that the deal also includes some changes requested by Georgia... 'we have removed the issue of South Ossetia's status from the document'" But the New York Times, citing a Georgian negotiator, reported that Sarkozy convinced Georgia to accept the Russian version unchanged.
On August 14, Medvedev met with South Ossetia President Eduard Kokoity and Abkhazia President Sergei Bagapsh, where they signed the six principles.
Always refute war and terror.
ANSWER:
Russia will be there for 3 days. There are reports today that Russia advanced into the city of Senaki. Why? oH no! Is this a take over?
No. It's where the Georgian military installation is. Russia first swept the area for mines and explosives and now they're securing risks at the military base.
"The Russians aren't leaving Gori," Temur Iakobashvili, Georgia's minister for reintegration issues, said by phone. "They're planting bombs in buildings and blowing up infrastructure." (These people are lame...they never offer a link or film with it dated properly.)
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the U.S. of ignoring Georgia's aggression in attacking South Ossetia, describing Georgia's leadership as "a special project of the United States."
He told reporters that Russian forces Wednesday had NOT targeted Georgian ships in Poti, and that military actions within the country were aimed at eliminating large troves of ammunition and supplies left behind by fleeing Georgian troops.

Hundreds, possibly thousands, of volunteer fighters from Russia were mobilizing to enter the war in Georgia's breakaway republic of South Ossetia last night.
Units of armed Cossacks from across the North Caucasus region which borders Georgia were poised to join the battle for the separatists' capital, Tskhinvali. Georgia shelled Tskhinvali.
In North Ossetia, the region of Russia which shares cultural links and a border with South Ossetia, lists of men willing to fight against Georgian forces were drawn up. Vitaly Khubayev, 35, from the capital, Vladikavkaz, told the Guardian: "There are already two busloads of fighters leaving for Tskhinvali every day. They give you a uniform on the way and you get issued with weapons once you arrive. If I didn't have three children I'd have gone."
The two Ossetias are historically inseparable and residents of the northern republic were furious yesterday at what they described as the "Georgian fascist attack" on their neighbors.
Many said they were willing to take up arms and travel to defend their relatives across the border in South Ossetia. Valentin Tekhti, 67, a teacher, said: "Our Ossetian brothers are Read More »
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_North_Ossetia_sabotages
North Ossetia sabotages were two explosions which occurred on the main branch and a reserve branch of the Mozdok-Tbilisi pipeline in the Russian border region of North Ossetia at around 03:00 local time (24:00 GMT) on January 22, 2006.
The electricity transmission line in Russia's southern region of Karachayevo-Cherkessiya - also near the Georgian border - was brought down by an explosion just hours later. The explosions suspended gas supply to Georgia and Armenia, at a time when the weather conditions were particularly severe.
Georgian authorities claimed the explosions were a deliberate act of sabotage, to force the nation into surrendering its pipelines to the Russian state owned monopoly Gazprom. Russia dismisses the accusations, claiming the charges were set by Chechen terrorists; the Chechen separatists rejected the accusation.
There seems to be a history of repeated attacks on Russia or Russians people. It's no wonder they are going to pound people back when they strike. And we are hypocrites.
Spokesman of British Petroleum has refuted the allegation of Georgia about Russia's air attacks on the oil pipeline.
According to Georgia, Russia's jets unsuccessfully attacked Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline Saturday. They fired 51 missiles and explosion craters are seen at the distance of a few dozen meters from the facilities.
The thorough check didn't reveal any traces of bombing in the pipeline area, said a representative of BP.
Proving Saakashvili is story telling, like claiming Russian's are moving deeper into the territory to rape, when he approved they sweep for mines and break down unexploded arsenals.
Saakashvili approved of this through the cease fire agreement yesterday, guess he's got early stages of Alzheimers, paranoia or master fibber.
Some employees of BP are still in Georgia but they will probably leave the country after the British Foreign Office urged all British residents to hasten out of it while the air traffic is available and the border is open.

Georgia WAS Bush's poster child for democracy. This was the picture he wanted to paint in the Middle East. He thought it would be 4 months and they would throw rose petals. Funny, every time Georgia has a rally, they thrust roses in the air and when Saakashvili was inaugurated they threw roses at his feet. They deserve each other.
These are South Ossetian's sending you a message.
These are people that suffered.
Do they sound like they want to take over?
This could happen to you.
Bless those that suffer.

Stupid question, they are not going into Georgia on a military confrontation, but rather a peace keeping mission! They don't want land, oil resources, or to harm anyone, or bomb pipelines or to interrupt food supplies from coming into the ports. They admitted to wanting to help refugees and admitted damaging military bases and stockpiles of arsenal, a road and airport (a couple other things I can't think of at the moment...relating to preventing Georgia from hurting more innocent people). Remember, these people (South Ossetians) have not been under the control of the Read More »
