You know, most things are either m...Your welcome. <br /><br />You know, most things are either more complicated, or sometimes less, than we first think. <br /><br />I live in Texas, and we have a very robust wildlife management system. We don't have as many predator issues as other western states, but managing the deer population, as well as fish and other game is a priority. <br /><br />I first learned about Sarah right after she was elected Governor. Fred Barnes, from the Weekly Standard wrote a glowing article about her abilities. He had just met her himself and was blown away. (like everyone who meets her is) <br /><br />Back then, you couldn't find a bad word said about her. The "straight" media covered her well. Vogue even did a cover story. <br /><br />As Governor, Sarah had the highest approval of any Governor in the nation, high 80's. And Alaska is a state full of seriously independent voters. <br /><br />What impressed me was her work before being Governor. She fought corruption starting with her earliest days on the Wasilla city council. But her time as Chairman of the AOGCC, the state's energy and environmental regulation agency is what sold me on her. <br /><br />As the state's chief energy regulatory she was tough on the oil companies and tougher on those in her own agency. In fact, it was here that she uncovered massive corruption. <br /><br />Most of the corrupt officials we Republicans and buddies of the sitting Republican Governor, Frank Murkowski. They called themselves the "Corrupt Bastards Club!" <br /><br />Sarah went after them, and took down most of the Republican leadership, including the party chair, who also worked for her. <br /><br />It was supposedly "political suicide" when she resigned in protest because Murkowski was trying to protect his friends. It was as a private citizen that she ended up taking this bunch down, sending many to prison. <br /><br />Then she went after Murkowski, and took him down, defeating him in a landslide. <br /><br />That took courage, and this woman has it in spades. <br /><br />I'm sure, by now, you have learned about the goings on up in Alaska after she became a national figure, and how Obama and his top level aides went on the attack. Obama had Pete Rouse, at the time his campaign chief of staff, and an Alaskan, set up a network of people who continually attacked her, and filed all of the phony ethics complaints. <br /><br />Google "Obama's Alaska Mafia" for details. <br /><br />Anyhow, Pete Rouse is now a senior White House adviser, and still coordinates attacks on Sarah. <br /><br />One of the reasons Sarah handed the ball off to her Lt Governor, Sean Parnell, was so she could go after Obama. Parnell, who is carrying on with her policies, is cruising to an easy win this year for re-election. He's up by 60 points! <br /><br />Not sure if she will run in 2012 or not, but most of us feel she will, and if she does, she will win big. <br /><br />I watched her debates back when she debated Murkowski for the Republican nomination, and then when she debated popular ex-Governor Tony Knowles, a Democrat, for the win. She was brutal! <br /><br />Sorry for being so long winded.....<br /><br />I get to talking about Palin and just get excited. I still remember the feeling I got when Ronald Reagan became President after the disastrous Carter years. Sarah reminds me of Reagan so much. It's almost uncanny. <br /><br />Anyhow, thanks again for the great read. Look forward to more.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01973579266871631780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978712289911901420.post-25453107761731647182010-03-19T10:30:25.165-07:002010-03-19T10:30:25.165-07:00Gary, thank you for your kind comments and encoura...Gary, thank you for your kind comments and encouragement.

It is deeply appreciated, as is the illuminating information on wolf hunting in Alaska. This is the type of thing I wish it were easier to find in the media. <br /><br />I did see a video of Sarah Palin shooting a wolf from a helicopter or low-flying plane, which admittedly could have been the result of simple editing. (Show Sarah aiming gun; cut to wolf getting hit with bullet.) <br /><br />Whether she did the actual shooting or not, the information you provided points out a totally acceptable and justifiable reason for Alaskan wolf hunting.

AS governor, she merely continued the Alaska Fish & Game Dept.'s program of predator management.<br /><br />Wolves are not dogs. They are efficient killing machines that hunt herd animals in packs. Ask the families of campers and hikers who have recently been killed by wolves in Alaska how lovable these animals are. <br /><br />Wolves have litters of four to five, while moose and caribou mostly have single births. As a result of this fact of nature and numbers, wolves left unmanaged would decimate the caribou and moose herds. With no herd animals as their prey, wolves would go after domesticated pets and humans, as there are not enough rodents and other small prey to support their numbers. Many of the predators would starve to death, a fate much worse than a hunter's bullet. <br /><br />Alaska's native populations depend on the herd animals to feed and clothe their children, as there are no Wal Mart or Food Lion stores in their remote villages. Even if there were such retail outlets where they live, the price of meat and produce would be prohibitive for these folks.<br /><br />The portrayal of Sarah Palin as a cruel and heartless puppy-killer is totally false and intended to play on the emotions of people who cannot think rationally.<br /><br />Anyone who supports or defends Sarah Palin will be subject to the same abuse that the left has been pouring on Sarah and her family.

The only draft dodger you mentioned was Bill Clinton.<br /><br />Fair and honest: unfair, dishonest, mean attacks on Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were practically nonexistent in the mainstream media during the campaign. You are probably only convinced that this was a common occurrence because of the countless times when the mainstream media brought up the "fact" that the media was perpetrating unfair, dishonest, mean attacks on Obama and Clinton. If you heard negative comments about Hillary's hair, makeup, or appearance from the Washington Post, New York Times, Rolling Stone, LA Times, Vanity Fair, or any other "neutral" source, it was probably because they were pointing out how unfair it is that the press is making negative comments about Hillary's hair, makeup, or appearance.<br /><br />It doesn't matter that you're not a Democrat, and I don't know why commenters keep making that "point," as if somehow it exempts from you being influenced by an overwhelmingly pro-Democratic media.<br /><br />By the way, I don't have time to go into it, but Hillary Clinton, undeniably intelligent though she may be, has proven herself deeply unscrupulous. Look up how the Whitewater real estate operation took money directly out of the pockets of working class people and put it into hers.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529428679483147745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978712289911901420.post-56605935918597554662010-03-19T06:41:07.481-07:002010-03-19T06:41:07.481-07:00If you want to be "fair and honest", you...If you want to be "fair and honest", you need to talk about all the other unfair, dishonest, mean attacks on politicians like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Colin Powell, etc. Sexism? Look up all of the commentary on Hillary's clothing and hair during the campaign. And she actually IS smart and WAS qualified to be president. Barack Obama? Do you actually think it's fair for people to compare him to Hitler? How about calling Colin Powell unpatriotic for not supporting every aspect of the Bush Administration's psychotic torture tactics? Oh, and to add salt to that wound, those attacks came from other republicans - draft dodgers like Cheney and Bush who used their elitist ties to do anything they could to avoid going to war.

She was a Governor of the only state in the Nation with a nearly communist state wealth re-distributionalist economic policy.... for almost three quarters of one term. And it's one of the lowest populated states with the greatest amount of earmarks in total dollar figures.
