For those looking to defend Sarah Palin from the constant lies the MSM passes as truth, this will help. You will find many good arguments here to defeat the many lies they have spread about the honorable lady from Alaska. This is the whole list, but not the whole article.

The reason Sarah quit the governorship was twofold. First and foremost, Sarah had done everything she said she would do when she ran for office. For what was left, her successor could be just as effective. Second, the left started filling frivolous lawsuits against her, and unlike the other 48 governors, the Attorney General of Alaska does not routinely represent the governor when accusations and complaints are filed against the office holder under the operative ethics statutes. (This means that the governor has to personally pay for her or his own legal defensepersonally .) Basically she was sued out of office.

It is quite interesting the way her detractors forget how she was the darling of the Democrats before the national media knew who she was. What they conveniently forgot was the way Palin took the Governor's office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, named Frank Murkowski. Yes, the father of Lisa (It's my seat, mine, mine, mine) Murkowski. Back then the media and the left loved her because she tore into the corrupt good old boy's, "Country Club" Republicans, and sent them packing. Many of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits. Back then 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 to taking on their own party.

Now with the corrupt good old boys death grip on the state broken, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies. So Sarah constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called "ACES" (Alaska's Clear and Equitable Share). Exxon, the biggest corporation in the world, protested and Sarah told them, "don't let the door hit you in the derriere 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.

2. I thought it was because she hated "this damn job".

3. Spread the word - Palin was a liberal governor

While this poster suffers from terminal hyperbole, she did some commendable things during her brief term in office.

Her system of redistributing the oil company's wealth bordered on socialism.

I think this needs to be publicized - "Sarah Palin put socialist reform policies into place while she was governor of Alaska".

She'd run from that faster than Romney running from his health care record.

7. It reminds me of that Simpsons episode where George H.W Bush moves in next door

and it shows Bush finishing the last sentence of his memoirs: "In summary, I had accompished everything I wanted during my first term in office, so there was no need for a second. The end."

8. A classic...

...especially the "new neighbor" who moves in when Bush moves out.

:rofl:

9. I wonder if this freeper can live with his double standard

Tax increase on big business signed by his hero: Good.

Tax increase on anyone else, signed by anyone else: Horrific.

And guess what, kids: ACES is a TAX HIKE!
