The lamestream media, and more especially the loons on the far left, really have a good time trying to paint Sarah Palin as being just a dumb broad. They point at the satire of Saturday Night Live, with Tina Fey actually playing the part of a dumb broad, and point to how she was flustered when ambushed by the elitist liberals in the media, like Katie Couric.
Fine. I get it. Liberals hate Palin. But NOT because she is dumb. On the contrary - folks tend to try and destroy only those who pose a real threat. So obviously, the liberals realize that the truth about Palin is the polar opposite of what they try to convince the rest of us.
So, just for the record, here are a few actual, documented facts about Sarah Palin - facts that even the Republicans are not talking about, because the Republicans in power also see Palin as a threat - where they have chosen to be "liberal lite", Palin is a staunch conservative - the kind of person the tea partiers love.
And here is why (originally posted by an Alaska fisherman on Greta's blog):
"When you can say that you have done more than Sarah, then you can call her dumb. Until then the dumb one is in the mirror you look at.---By Dewie Whetsell, Alaskan Fisherman.
"The last 45 of my 66 years I've spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska . I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year. Here's the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it. It's not about persona, style, rhetoric, it's about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I'm about to mention here.
"1- Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the Governor's office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican's "Corrupt Bastards Club" (CBC) and sent them packing. Many of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits.. The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and singing, "la la la la" (well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this country that has ever done anything similar.
"2- Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES." Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them, "don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out." They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course, the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar.
"3- The other thing she did when she walked into the governor's office is she got the list of State requests for federal funding for projects, known as "pork." She went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in the "when-hell-freezes-over" stack. She let locals know that if we need something built, we'll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governor's jet because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor's cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and dismissing her State provided security force (never mentioning - I imagine - that she's packing heat herself). I'm still waiting to hear the names of those other governors.
"4- Now, even with her much-ridiculed "gosh and golly" mannerism, she also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built which will be the biggest private construction project in the history of North America. No one else could do it although they tried. If that doesn't impress you, then you're trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand.
"5- For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time why they couldn't start drilling. In truth they were holding it like an investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get started... This summer, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them out. They protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to the court house. Alaska won again.
"6- President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources for electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewable by 2025. We are already at 25%.
"I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and persona. Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, look cool. But that's just a cover-up. I'm still waiting to hear from liberals the names of other governors who can match what mine has done in two and a half years. I won't be holding my breath.
"By the way, she was content to return to AK after the national election and go to work, but the haters wouldn't let her. Now these adolescent screeches are obviously not scuba divers. And no one ever told them what happens when you continually jab and pester a barracuda. Without warning, it will spin around and tear your face off. Shoulda known better.
"You have just read the truth about Sarah Palin that sends the media, along with the democrat party, into a wild uncontrolled frenzy to discredit her. I guess they are only interested in skirt chasers, dishonesty, immoral people, liars, womanizers, murderers, and bitter ex-presidents' wives.
"So "You go, Girl." I only wish the men in Washington had your guts, determination, honesty, and morals."
__________
1-6 are documented facts, and in the history of the U.S., no other governor ever did more, in less time, and fought both parties in order to get the job done. And as Dick Martin once said of Goldie Hawn, "She's dumb as a fox."
Do I think she should be president? Not really, though I would not object. I would much rather see her take charge of reforming the Republican party back to its conservative "tea party" roots, where the party would actually stand for all the right things, and not compromise our values just to try and win over some moderates. The de facto RNC chairperson, so to speak - particularly since Michael Steele is apparently inept. He could not even get the Repubs in Congress to stop adding their pork to every bill that comes along.
Look at it this way - in every job-lot manufacturing plant, there are always two leaders - the formal leader, with title of "Supervisor", and the informal leader, chosen by his or her fellow workers. The workers silently follow the informal supervisor. And he or she will informally "assist" the Supervisor by adding the strength of his or her own influence. Much like a union. And the supervisor realizes that his department will only run smoothly with the help of the informal leader. I have seen a good many supervisors fall from Management's grace because he crossed the informal leader.
So, the Republican party can nominate whomever they wish. But I would hope Sarah Palin decides to be the "informal leader" who actually makes things work.
'Nuff said.
