Comments on: Voices from the Flats: Sarah Palin – An American Life or An American Lie? http://www.themudflats.net/2009/12/27/voices-from-the-flats-sarah-palin-an-american-life-or-an-american-lie/ Tiptoeing Through the Muck of Alaskan Politics Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:08:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Demothonese http://www.themudflats.net/2009/12/27/voices-from-the-flats-sarah-palin-an-american-life-or-an-american-lie/#comment-160593 Demothonese Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:56:33 +0000 http://www.themudflats.net/?p=9089#comment-160593 Complain all you want, without the discovery of Oil and its many uses 100 years ago. There would be no trees left in America from people heating homes and the skys would be blackened from the coal used. I have done the figures, Solar, wind and other sources are not yet cheap enough to heat my home. I have tried, bought solar panels, windmills and even looked at a biodiesel generator. I am from Louisiana, where our oil and gas was taken from us by democrat governments, not giving any compensation to its citizentry like Alaskans have managed. So kudos to Palin and her predcessors, wither in 1975 or 1974. They did it right. History? I would rather read about a persons faults and learn about their history then someone who will not even discuss their history when question.

She needed to write the book while she was still a hot commodity to maximize her revenue. The book advance was a lot of money to a little lady from Alaska who was facing $500,000 in legal bills and who had made over $100,000 in salary in just a couple of years of her earning career. If she waited to write the book, her popularity might have dried up and she would have sold only 250,000 copies of her drivel. She knew other authors were crafting books and might uncover some of her secrets. Her book and the success of her book have forced her to take a different fork in the road. Her initial claims in 2008 of being just like every other American are no longer valid. She is not like everyone else….she doesn’t punch the time clock…her husband does have a job…..she flies in private jets, vacations in Hawaii, buys new Escalades, builds another house next to her existing house, has an offer to buy another house next to the house she is building, has plastic surgery, stalked by TMZ, on the cover of tabloids and gets big dollars for speeches. She is no longer like us, but she is now like every other rich Republican politician. She can never return to being one of us. She violated the trust of her minions when she allowed for the established of the ATF only a couple of weeks before the announcement of the large book advance. She is a predator, preying on the poor souls who haven’t realized their leader no longer walks with them but has gone to roost high above them and will only honor them only with her droppings.

If Sarah is stupid enough to actually try for another public office, it will be reports such as this one that will bring her down. While her followers refuse to see the truth, the rest of America will have no such problem and if Sarah thinks the media was after her during the VP run, she has NO IDEA of the amount of karma that will fall on her head in the future if she keeps on pushing her luck.

She is not exactly lying, but summarizing. i.e. The drilling started in 1974 not 1975. She was close enough for most people, just not the "nitpickers". The money started rolling in immediately. Well 6 years leater could seem awfully fast if you compared it to say the timeline of human history. It would seem to be overnight in fact. As for AK being filthy rich, again it could be argued that it is semantics and she is "close enough" for most people. I mean AK would be viewed as rich by most states in that it doesn't have to tax it's own residents to gain funds. I think Ms. Palin suffers from a “close enough” syndrome.

Someone commented on this earlier at Bree P's site with this link: http://www.courtrecords.alaska.gov/pa/pa.urd/pamw2000.docket_lst?79282054 The whole thing looks very nasty. Apparently they filed motions for closed proceedings as well as a protective order. God know what they've accused Levi of. Sounds like Trooper Wooten all over again.
