What good has she accomplished? As far as I can tell she's never done anything but run down half the country and blow McCain's last chance of being president.

For starters, try this.


Governor Sarah Palin’s Accomplishments

Energy Independence, Development, and Environmental Stewardship

*Governor Palin’s cornerstone accomplishment is AGIA (Alaska Gasline Inducement Act). During the Palin administration, TransCanada and Exxon formed an alliance to build a natural gas pipeline from Alaska to the Lower 48. Under Governor Palin’s governance, the project was expanded and revised from what previous governors had proposed with an open policy process for the Alaskan people. More progress was made on this effort than in the previous 30 years. This is the largest private sector infrastructure project in North American history and helps put us on the path to energy independence.

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

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.

*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

*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.

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.

I noticed that all of you Palin bashers seemed to have ignored this post. I wonder why that is. Facts get in the way of having fun?

Because it's a crock.

Tell me why this:

HJR-17: Urges Congress not to pass HR-45.The federal legislation would put burdensome licensing and registration controls on individual gun owners.

is listed as a Palin accomplishment.

 

[Dr.Traveler]

If you do not see that she has a following then you are blind as a bat.

Oh Palin has a following. The question is this: Does that following even exist outside of the GOP?

I've yet to meet anyone that liked Palin that wasn't a dyed in the wool Republican before she came along. I've yet to meet a moderate or Democrat that was converted by Palin to her cause. I have met a great many Republicans that don't like or care for her, never want to see her run for office, and voted for Obama because Palin was poison to them.

There's no question Palin can split tickets (See New York) and influence primaries. Can she win general elections in anything other than Republican strongholds? That remains to be seen.

 

[MaggieMae]

Before you form an opinion about Sarah Palin...learn about her enviable and successful accomplishments by reading her book. To date, she has accomplished more in her political career than Barry/Hussein or any of his loyal thugs will ever accomplish in their entire lives.

Oh yes because being a governor and mayor of a small town is such a larger accomplishment than being president of the US.

The presidents campaign team won the election for him. Only some partisan loser would not see that. Surely it was not his experience nor was it his speech writing as he never wrote his speeches.

So winning was not his accomplishment.

So what has he accomplished?

Bi partisanship? No.
Close GITMO? No.
Withdraw from Iraq? No.
No higher than 8% unempliyment? No.
A lower deficit? No.
A health care plan that was voted in as law the traditional way? No.

Oh yeah. He was able to get some arrogant professor and some officer of the law to shake hands on TV for us all to see.

Lordy Lordy, ALL IS GOOD!

If that were a four-year record, I'd agree. However, it's an 18-month record way too broadly quantified. Here's a list of Obama's major campaign promises and where they stand today.

PolitiFact | The Obameter: Tracking Barack Obama's Campaign Promises

 

[MaggieMae]

The Palin haters sure don't like to see her resume. Sure looks a hell of a lot better than the boob in office. LOL

The only thng they want to come up with is that she resigned as Gov. of Alaska. They don't care why she resigned just that she did. Quitter sounds better than smart and responsible.

Wait for it. Wait for it. I'm sure Ol Yank can throw in Quitter one more time LMAO

I think her resume looks wonderful. Why wouldn't it? Although no link, can we presume it's directly from her website? Imagine that.

Ted Stevens has an impressive resume, too. So does Jack Abramoff. But I bet his new one leaves out the part about spending five years in the slammer. And no, I'm not suggesting Palin is corrupt. Just pointing out the absurdity of supporting someone solely based on HIS/HER own prepared resume.

 

[MaggieMae]

End of your story. I use logic to determine why things happen. And I believe the logic I laid out is sound and reasonable.

All you have to work with is "she quit".

Go for it if it makes you feel better.

All your "logic" can't change the facts. The fact is that she quit.

You can't logic your way around it.

Is that the best you got?

At least she quit without taking a paycheck.
Mr. Obama spent 1 1/2 years as a senator and then quit. But he insisted on still getting a paycheck; so he did not resign. He simply quit his responsibilities as a senator.

Obama spent 3 years in the Senate and then resigned when he won the presidential election. He didn't "quit." As for collecting his paycheck, so? Both he and McCain showed up for important votes. McCain didn't "quit" either while he campaigned.

 

[MaggieMae]

All your "logic" can't change the facts. The fact is that she quit.

You can't logic your way around it.

Is that the best you got?

At least she quit without taking a paycheck.
Mr. Obama spent 1 1/2 years as a senator and then quit. But he insisted on still getting a paycheck; so he did not resign. He simply quit his responsibilities as a senator.

In the end, absolute fact is about the best you can get.

Here is a statement of fact:

"She quit".

That is obviously prejudicial to Palin or you would not care.

This is a statement of opinion:

"At least she quit........"

So, is that the best you've got?

Since Jarhead thinks she quit for cause, I wonder if she was then eligible to collect unemployment?

 

[MaggieMae]

you really need a special kind of logic to be able to polish the palin.

Well that one's easy: Would she be as popular if she looked like Kay Bailey Hutchison, a conservative with a ton of experience and the same values? Nah, Kay doesn't have a hot booty.

Without objection I declare 'crock!!!!'.

Why is it nobody can dispute her record I put out and by specifics?

 

[gautama]

Why is it nobody can dispute her record I put out and by specifics?

Answer: Because the Obamarrhoidal twits FEAR all the essentials that Sarah Palin stands for GLORIFY the traditional values that made and make America GREAT. Whilst the Obamarrhoidal "BLAME AMERICA FIRST" and "APOLOGIZE FOR instead of PRAISE AMERICA" gang of unAmerican goons cringe when their perfidious agenda is exposed to the light of day.

Once again the candidates do all the work and Palin's fat butt takes all the credit.

You people are hilarious.
