Seems there arn't enough people with any brains on this site. Only a few that I can see.The ones without any are obama lovers. just look where they got us. All this , she is not qualified to be president crap is just that crap. obama proved he isn]t qualified. I dare say that no one here is qualified to say that she would not make a great president. She has proven that she is way beyond anyone here as far as brains go. Sarah Palin has run a state government. What Government have the lefties here run? What did obama run besides his mouth? Sarah Palin knows right from wrong, do the left ? Sarah Palin is out there defending the constitution, the rights of the people,and our freedom. She supports our troops and defends our way of life. Sarah Palin is an American, The kind of American that I would go back to war for. Her America is worth fighting for. Everyone should step aside from their political correctness and their divided politics and support Sarah Palin. She is the only real hope for America. Now I don't claim to be the smartest one on the block, but if we all don't get behind someone like Sarah Palin and her beliefs and the American Peoples beliefs , then America is doomed. Do all you dems want that? Do the obama lovers want that? Sarah Palin might be the last hope for America. So stop fighting her, stop ridiculing her, stop the name calling and stop being affraid of her. Now I know I am going to take some heat for all this and It will be my pleasure.

Awwwwww....don't be so modest. You could be the smartest one on the block. There are some pretty fucking stupid blocks out there.

Palin 16'!!!!! Our savior.

Palin quit, a normal reaction for the far right when things get tough.

Your Hangover name suits your posting well. I see you are unable to speak in substantive terms on how good Palins executive record is.

She is a good quitter, and a good liar. Your self portrait is very substantive. So anti-American of you. Al Qaeda loves you.

As governor, Palin demonstrated many of the qualities we expect in our best leaders. She set aside private concerns for the greater good, forgoing a focus on social issues to confront the great problem plaguing Alaska, its corrupt oil-and-gas politics. She did this in a way that seems wildly out of character today—by cooperating with Democrats and moderate Republicans to raise taxes on Big Business. And she succeeded to a remarkable extent in settling, what had seemed insoluble problems, in the process putting Alaska on a trajectory to financial well-being. People need to realize that Alaska is tied for the second most powerful governorship in the United States. Here is her record of accomplishments that would even outshine Hillary Clinton.


Energy Independence, Development, and Environmental Stewardship:.

*Governor Palin’s administration opened up drilling for oil and natural gas at Pt. Thompson for the first time in decades.

*Governor Palin created the Alaska’s Petroleum Integrity Office to oversee all aspects of energy development and to make sure oilfield equipment was safe to operate and a Climate Change Subcabinet to comprehensively and honestly evaluate climate change.

Fiscal Conservatism:


Governor Palin reduced spending in her budget for Fiscal Year 2010 by more than one billion dollars from the previous governor’s Fiscal Year 2007 budget, a 9.5% real reduction in spending. Her FY2010 budget was $10.57 billion compared to Governor Murkowski’s FY2007 budget of nearly $11.7 billion. At the same time, she fulfilled her campaign promise to forward fund education, allowing districts greater flexibility and predictability in their planning.

A general rule of thumb for both liberal and conservative administrations is to claim that they may reasonably increase spending every year at a rate of 2% to 3% because of inflation and that should not count against them as increased spending. Even if we use the low end of inflation at 2%, Governor Palin’s budget could have been (without calling it a spending increase): $12,413,374,459.20
Of course, the budget is not $12.4 billion; it is actually $10.57 billion. In other words, she cut spending.

In FY2007, Gov. Frank Murkowski requested $350 million in federal appropriations, which Gov. Palin reduced to $256 million in FY2008, $198 million in FY2009, and $69 million in FY2010.

*Governor Palin reduced earmark requests for the state of Alaska by 80% during her administration, requesting only earmarks that would benefit the country as a whole.

See what I mean about leading by example? Not only has Governor Palin dropped the federal requests for money by 80%, she had also been slowly chipping away at these numbers since the beginning of her administration.

FFY2007- Gov. Murkowski 63 projects at $349,497,000

FFY08- Gov. Palin 52 projects at $256,037,000

FFY09- Gov. Palin 31 projects at $195,094,900

FFY10- Gov. Palin: 8 projects @ $69,100,000

As you can clearly see, there was a noticeable drop in federal requests year after year during Governor Palin’s administration.

*Governor Palin opposed much of the “stimulus”, wanting only to accept 55% of the money allocated to Alaska, specifically only dollars dedicated to infrastructure [projects. Although the Alaskan legislature ultimately overturned her veto, she stood firm on her commitment to help Alaska to become more self-sufficient while not adding to not add to the skyrocketing national debt.

* Governor Palin invested $5 billion in state savings.

Walking the Walk on Fiscal Responsibility:

Lowered unemployment insurance tax rates

Vetoed 361 line-items in 2008.

Utilized line item reductions to reduce proposed spending by $80.3 million in 2009.

Instituted a temporary hiring freeze to reduce expenditures during a period of unanticipated low oil prices in 2009.

*Governor Palin sold the private jet purchased by the previous governor. She state it was an unnecessary financial burden on the state and was unable to land on many of the state’s landing strips.

* To cut costs that would be incurred by continuing to use a personal driver like previous governors, the governor drove herself from Wasilla to her office in Anchorage. She also dismissed the governor’s personal chef stationed in Juneau, Alaska’s capital.

* Governor Palin accepted less state per diem for herself and her family than her predecessors even though she had a larger family.

10th Amendment Advocacy/Promotion of State Constitution:

*Showing that she is a strong supporter of the 10th amendment, Governor Palin advocated for the sovereignty of the state of Alaska.

*Governor Palin’s administration sued the federal government for placing the polar bear on the endangered species list, as this restriction affected energy development which would increase energy costs.

*A Constitutionalist, Governor Palin signed Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share (ACES) bill into law. The Alaska constitution states that the Alaskan people own the oil and other resources. This law ensures that the “owners”, the people of Alaska, receive a clear and equitable share of oil profits.
National Defense/Veterans

*Governor Palin supported ground-based missile defense Ft Greely and other Alaskan Bases around to protect America from America’s enemies. She criticized the Obama administration for cuts that they made to this national defense system.

*Governor Palin, with Senators Murkowski and Begich, fought for retirement benefits from the federal government that were due to the Alaska Territorial Guard members who fought during World War II. These benefits were eventually rewarded to these veterans by the federal government.

Transparency/Anti-Corruption:

*Governor Palin signed bipartisan ethics reform legislation into law that helped to hold both the legislative and executive branches accountable.

*Governor Palin put the state checkbook online, allowing all constituents to see how state money was being spent.

* Governor Palin exposed legal violations and conflicts of interest of Alaska Republican leaders, including the former state Attorney General and the State GOP Chairman (who was also an Oil & Gas Commissioner), who was doing work for the party on public time and supplying a lobbyist with a sensitive e-mail. Several went to jail.

Health Care:

*Governor Palin introduced health care transparency legislation which aimed at putting information in the hands of consumers about cost and quality of health care as a way to make health care consumer driven and accessible.

Sanctity and Dignity of All Life:

* Governor Palin strongly supported both parental consent and parental notification legislation.
*Governor Palin increased educational funding for special needs’ children.
*Governor Palin implemented the Senior Benefits Program to support low income seniors.

Positions Held while Governor:
* Chairman of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.

*Vice Chair of the National Governors Association Natural Resource Committee.

* She served as chair of the Alaska Conservation Commission, which regulates Alaska’s most valuable non-renewable resources: oil and gas. She was elected by her peers to serve as president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors. In this role, she worked with local, state and federal officials to promote solutions to the needs of Alaska’s communities.

Governor Palin signed legislation and resolutions during July 2009. They were:

SJR-3: The resolution expresses support to Congress for repealing the ban on carrying a firearm on National Park Service lands.

•SB-3 Requiring information sharing between two agencies.

•HRJ-19 Supports requirement of escort for loaded tankers traversing Prince William Sound.

•The Governor appointed 29 people to boards, commissions and councils and made three judicial appointments between July 6, 2009 and July 26, 2009.

Governor Palin’s total appointments for 2009 was 123, including 116 to boards, commissions and councils, five judicial appointments, one legislative and one attorney general. Governor Palin averaged one appointment every 1.67 days during 2009.

•The Governor vetoed $28.6 million in stimulus money that would have involved federal interference with the state of Alaska.

Governor Palin signed bills removing experience caps on teacher’s salaries and extending boat safety programs.

Sarah Palin was Commander of the Alaska National Guard. Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the first line of defense unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. It’s on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units in the United States. As governor of Alaska, Palin was briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism daily.

Governor Palin was the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security’s counterterrorism plans.

So there you have it. Her record was phenomenal. It is why the liberal media refused to report these accomplishments during the 2008 election. They didn't want her to upstage Obama due to his inexperience and his lack of holding a executive job at governing.

Bwah ha ha! Dream on. Until the rich are the majority, it ain't happening, unless you get enough poor to buy TRICKLE DOWN again. I think the poor have figured out that TRICKLE DOWN is code for piss on the poor, and make the middle class poor too. That's all it did.

True.

My buddies and I ALWAYS laughed at that joke.

But leaches like you have no idea what military intelligence is and how it is by no means a reflection on the military itself.

Nope. Leaches like you simply want to know what your country SHOULD be doing for you.
