		<description>Christy, you wrote this statement that I re-post below MONTHS ago and keep posting it, over and over again...it´s garbage, at least write new garbage...

and AGAIN, as for attacking what is beautiful and good, here is the list that I have compiled:
The beautiful and good (aka sacrificial victims)-beluga whales, polar bears, wolves, the citizens of Alaska.


and now some of christy´s repeticious horsesh·t....
==============================ChristyNo Gravatar (23:05:03) :

Those who disrespect Gov. Palin are only disrespecting themselves. If there were a compilation (and there may be somewhere) of all the unprecedented vitriolic slander directed at this absolutely charming intelligent and RESPECTFUL woman, it would deserve a place of honor in a Hall Of Shame.
I have come to the conclusion that certain types of people need scapegoats and sacrificial victims to satisfy some kind of atavistic sadism that compels them to attack what is beautiful and good. Any NORMAL human being, would be able to see that Sarah Palin is a down to earth good person and agree or disagree with her policies and positions, afford the high respect that is her DUE, that she DESERVES, for her honest work on behalf of the American People and her lifelong efforts to live in a loving, intelligent and moral life..</description>

		<description>Palin doesn&#039;t have pets now, at least I don&#039;t think so......my post was pointing out what she grew up with, her dad was a science (I think) teacher, he had animals around the house used as teaching aids.

I was pokin fun at how these things may have formed our sick Sarah&#039;s psyche and thought processes in order to explain what we seem to have today.

Dogs and skunks........what works for me is cheap tomato juice, works wonders, the acid must neutralize the spray somehow, just pour it on, rub it in, let it sit a while, then hose off, redo if necessary......but, I&#039;ve always applied it right away, I don&#039;t know about weeks or days later......crystalwolf......I&#039;d try drenching the ground area with juice. 

Hey, maybe GINO knows, lol or call Chuck, lol.</description>

		<description>Below is a comment from ADN article.........I&#039;m thinkin we need to do some delving into Joe Schmidt&#039;s political ties.......I simply cannot understand &quot;why&quot; Palin would select this certain person to take over the gov or lite gov position if need be.......WHY? it&#039;s just flat out weird.

I got thinking more about this last night after watching a news media coverage about the drug lord battles escalating in Mexico......and ties in US, including AK.........ties including money, guns and drugs.

It&#039;s really bad! The corruption in Mexican government and law enforcement is so huge its growing worse rapidly, becoming accepted as a way of life.  Thousands of people are being executed by these thugs, they showed something like 11 police officers laying on the ground, murdered, decapitated as a &quot;message&quot; don&#039;t mess with the drug lords. pitiful! people suspected as informants, the same, whole families murdered and put on public display, hung in the open to show what will happen. Mexican mafia gone rampant, over drug smuggling, gun selling and buying, money funneling, arg!

We should be very worried about this people. There are things going on around us, in our country that need to be exposed, the sooner the better. 

There has to be US people involved, working with these drug lords, in airports, shipping, border control points, private planes, hangers, politicians, law enforcement, and yes, prisons, where is the heroin coming from in AK, it&#039;s now becoming the lead drug to abuse in AK, meth has become harder to make, oxycontin is expensive.......all are addictive creating a vicious cycle to fund and get. 

Alaskans seem to have a lot of unwatched freedom with so much private plane travel.......it&#039;s easy to think much can be smuggled in or out.........do they ever sweep these planes or hangers. Todd has his plane parked outside their house, how many others do the same?

It&#039;s just unsettling......I know i&#039;m not articulating this very well. But I don&#039;t trust all the corruption in AK, so few people and so much crime.......not slamming all the good people of AK or your beautiful state, but I am worried about what goes on up there. You guys have got to watch every move by politicians, every appointment made, don&#039;t just read articles and think nothing more, listen to the watchdogs! Thank goodness someone is interested in paying attention and connecting the dots.

this article seems nothing big on the surface, but read this comment and how much deeper and wider it goes.......read his/her last sentence.......think Bill Allen, felons, corrections, Joe Schmidt, Palin puppet, drugs, guns, money, Mexico mafia?

thank goodness for comment areas!

Immigration administrator guilty of hiring unqualified personnel

TACOMA, Wash. -- A former administrator at a privately run immigration lockup in Tacoma won&#039;t serve any jail time after she admitted hiring guards without background checks to speed up the process.

GEO has been outed for overcharging the state of Florida for millions of dollars and for offering the then-current Director of Prisons in Colorado about a million dollars if he could get a prison built for them.

So the prosecutors&#039; question should have been, did Wong hire illegal guards entirely of her own volition, or at GEO&#039;s direct or implied orders?</description>

		<description>@Say No TO Palin In Politics (14:53:36) :

Really, the Heath family had a skunk when GINO was a kid?  Huh, I thought they were illegal to own in the State of Alaska, because they&#039;re not a native species (and therefore would be invasive).  Because there are no native reptiles here in AK I think it&#039;s legal to own them, as long as you don&#039;t ever release them, but I was pretty sure it was illegal to own skunks.  (If not, I&#039;m gonna get me one!)</description>

		<description>Hubby just came up with this:  she really can&#039;t afford more than cookies, given that she now has to pay back the state for the money she stole for per-diem, illegal trips for her kids and the First Dude.

But, sigh, she&#039;ll probably claim the cookies as a write-off on the federal taxes she already owes.</description>

		<description>here-in-PA--My husband signed them up in Fairbanks about 12 yrs. ago, maybe the rules have changed since then, its called a certificate of blood card and it has 1/32 on it, they do not go to the Indian clinic but they could if they needed to.  A lot of the reservations in the lower 48 do pick and chose who can use the services, something to do with funding.</description>

re: pets - Do the Palins charge the state to feed and care for the pets while they are traveling and doing the business of the state ?? I mean if you are not at home to take care of your pets BECAUSE you are “On the road again” (Willie singing) doing the business of the state , doesn’t it stand to reason that the state MUST cover that. I believe Sarah should call it “petdiem”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Austintx-I don&#039;t think GINO and FAMILY have pets..! People who have pets have compassion and caring, GINO want dominion over all things living, and the earth, oil, mining etc.
I real wish she would just sacrifice herself and her &quot;Servant&#039;s heart&quot; to Mt. Redoubt and maybe that would stop it from erupting!!!
Add Jingleberry too, since he doesn&#039;t believe in volcano monitoring....

 Can&#039;t wait to hear Ann S. events of the day...did Samaritan&#039;s purse show up? What is in the food boxes? I hope more than mac-n-cheese and saltine crackers!</description>
