except that the branchflower investigation deemed she did
You might need to show proof of wrong-doing because the last reliable tally was that 15 of 16 investigations showed that she broke no laws and the 16th was still out. So unless you are privy to some information no one else is, you are flat wrong on this count.
when is this gain going to start happening? It didnt happen when she left and not while she was governor. She built a useless stadium that isnt being used costing taxpayers millions. She spent lots of money redecorating her office on the taxpayers dime.
Again, you are going to need to show some numbers and citations because the stadium isn't even a stadium. It's an arena for hockey and other sports. The arena itself isn't the issue that costed money; the issue was a bad surveying job that left a land deal in dispute and costed millions more than the original projection.
I don't see how that's really her fault, specifically. If you can come up with some numbers and citations showing that it is, I would love to see them.
Youre right millions on a bridge for a tiny town that already had access off the island. She then kept the money earmarked for it. She had no problem taking the pork.
Umm, you do realize, brainchild that you pretend to be, that the "Bridge to Nowhere" is a label slapped on at least 4 different bridges in Alaska. I assume you are talking about the Gravina Island bridge that is only of note because its funding was already legislatively tied to the Knik Arm bridge prior to Palin taking office. The Knik Arm bridge basically connects the largest population center in Alaska with the 3rd and 4th largest population centers by making the hour and half commute around the Cook Inlet a mere 20 minute trip across it.
And now back to the "stadium"...the arena was built in preparation of this connection of the population centers and moving the capital from Juneau, where no one has access to the capital while the legislature is in session without taking expensive flights, to the Matsu Valley where it would be more centrally located to the people.
I expect that if you are going to raise issue with a point, you would at least know some of the history...hell...any of the history behind the points you raise.
You are flat wrong on all counts, sparky.
She just has a tendency to quit midstride. Hero worship aside. She comes across completely self centered. When she was pregnanrt with the youngest, after knowing her baby had downs syndrome, her water broke during a speech instead of going to the local hospital she boarded a plane to fly home. Talk about responsible.
What the hell did any of that have to do with her tenure on the oil board and why she resigned to run for office? Anything? Anything at all?
I take it you need familiarize yourself with the term "red herring" because that's all any of what you related was. Irrelevant bull**** to smokescreen your surface knowledge of the issue and hide the fact that you don't know what the hell you are blathering on about.
You need to read more than the dust jacket if you want to discuss the book, pal.
Wasnt ever the oil company's jet. Murkowski purchased it himself and she sold it when the plane became unpopular. She lost money when she sold it after lying about it selling on ebay.
How the hell do you think he afforded to pay for the ****ing jet? And I don't care if she lost every dime of it by selling it for scrap. That jet was symbolic, to Alaskans, of a group that was so brazenly corrupt that they openly called themselves The Corrupt Bastards Club.
It was always unpopular. And selling the jet was her very first act as governor. Do you know anything...
anything...about the issue or
are you just a hack that is the equivalent of a dust jacket name dropper?
And was investigated for abuse of power by a bipartisan state legislature because of a nasty divorce Wooten had with her sister. Personally had her husband use the state office to harrass state employees. Then fired the popular police commissioner because she couldnt have her way. Replaced him with a corrupt sob who ended up having to resign. Wooten was never fired. He's still an alaska state trooper.
Wooten was placed on administrative leave for a period. He is no longer a trooper. He had a series of reprimands on the force and several personal indiscretions. In a finding released by both Wooten and his union:
The record clearly indicates a serious and concentrated pattern of unacceptable and at times, illegal activity occurring over a lengthy period, which establishes a course of conduct totally at odds with the ethics of our profession," Col. Julia Grimes, then head of Alaska State Troopers, wrote in March 1, 2006,
Monegan got fired, not for specifically refusing to fire Wooten, but for doing something much, much worse: he held several press conferences outside the direction of his direct superior: the office of the governor. Monegan served no one but himself in trying to undermine the authority of his superior by making it a public scandal when it was clear he was going to be reprimanded for insubordination.
No him being indicted did that. She served as director of Stevens 527 and only turned her back when she knew he was going down. Stevens did campaign ads for her.
Oh my ****ing god...you don't know a damned thing about any of this, do you? All you have is fables and bull**** to spew because you really have no clue when it comes to this issue. :lol:
Yeah, he campaigned for her when she beat out Murkowski in the primary because they are the same party affiliation and it was better than Tony Knowles. But in the primary, he campaigned for Murkowski. Why? Because when she worked on the oil board, she sided with Commissioner Tom Irwin when he presented the idea that Murkowski's closed door meetings with the Big Three had resulted in illegal contracts poised to make the pipeline a huge cost for Alaskans with very little return. When Murkowski fired him, she went public with it AND blew the whistle on the GOP Commissioner (Randy Reudrich) for failing to publically disclose the dealings, quit the board, and subsequently campaigned on the idea of ending the era of being cozy with Big Oil.
Following her election, several scandals broke as a result of other investigations that came about because of her whistle blowing. Notably, the VECO scandal and then the probe into the bribes the oil companies made to key legislature members to vote into law the illegal tax deals Murkowski had made.
That's the cliff notes version but it's far more accurate than the shallow horse**** you tried to pass off.
How exactly is her fullfilling her own ambition fighting corruption?
First of all, you're gonna have to prove somehow, some way that her motives were to fulfill her ambition. Because, clearly, the corruption was present, it isn't even debatable, and she was pivotal in bringing a big chunk of it to an end.
The pipeline, which was center to the whole corruption issue, was put back out for competitive bidding as a result of Sarah Palin's dedication to fighting the corruption inherent in her own party.
how is that fighting corruption? She's supposed to pick impartial judges. She sung a different tune when she was running for vp.
It isn't fighting corruption, per se, but it is taking a stand even though it went against her establishment. And no, she did not "sing a different tune" when running for VP. She made no indication that her philosophy of governing was going to suddenly shift to one of forced pro-life policies and social conservativism.
Yeah you should considering most of your information was wrong.
Yeah, says the guy who couldn't get any deeper in his analysis than "Urrrggg, palin BAAAAAAAD"
:lol::lol::lol:
You might want to brush up on a subject before you try to take me on. Maybe you could start by finding me one investigation where she was found guilty of illegal activity and start from there...hmmm?
), let alone a candidate... hehe :lol:
