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.

This family carves a really crooked path in the snowy mountains of Alaska.

Palin is NO Reformer

I've been meaning to post something about Palin's being a reformer...LOL, she KEPT the money appropriated for the Gravina Bridge! She did NOT give it back and she did NOT build the bridge. Has ANYONE even touched on that? Hell no.

Another point of many that disturbs me is: I believe it was a conflict of interest for Sarah to be on the board of Prudhoe Bay Ethics chair (Oil and Gas Conservation Commission) while her husband is a BP man. Which means, she is part of a quasi-judicial body which holds powers and delivers penalties to those that crossed her path and didn't believe like she does. This committee dictated how much oil was to be pumped. Anyone knowing economics, you withhold and it drives the cost upwards. Of course, she and her husband have stock in BP and this parallels what Bush is doing with our war. It makes the stockholder rich.

Then to top it off, her so called Ethics didn't take hold of her brain when she called a documented 24 times to the Police Chief in trying to get him motivated to fire her brother-in-law Trooper Wooten. What kind of ETHICS is that? No one ever questions her because she's either a pretty face or they fear her. Did you know she's fired 'other' people too, and no one talks about that? I guess the obvious one is relationship to her family feud.

My take on tonight's convention...where's Max Clelland when you need him? The Republicans are not the only party of hero's, how hypocritical. It seemed disjointed and confusing to talk both side of their mouths, what is that? Besides they speakem' forkem' tonguem. So far they haven't talked about fixing the economy or stopping the war. They're messaging PATRIOTISM. We're ALL patriotic. They dictate..."Either you're with us, or you're against us?" ~~lil Bush speak, more of the same! WAKE UP AMERICA!

Populist Democrats
