Sheesa,

Claiming the Iraq War is is god’s will
Palin asked the students to pray for the troops in Iraq, and noted that her eldest son, Track, was expected to be deployed there.
“Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God,” she said. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God’s plan.”
Praying for a plan. Ok.

belonging to a church with a pastor who spends his time hunting witch doctors in Africa . . .

Obama belongs to a church that calls that said ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people, God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.” “We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.”

using her position to to try to destroy her brother in law’s trooper career . . .
No he did that his self. Beyond the investigation sparked by the family, trooper commanders saw cause to discipline or give written instructions to correct Wooten seven times since he joined the force, according to Grimes’ letter to Wooten.
Those incidents included: a reprimand in January 2004 for negligent damage to a state vehicle; a January 2005 instruction after being accused of speeding, unsafe lane changes, following too closely and not using turn signals in his state vehicle; a June 2005 instruction regarding personal cell phone calls; an October 2005 suspension from work after getting a speeding ticket; and a November 2005 memo “to clarify duty hours, tardiness and personal business during duty time.”
charing the state for family travel and per diem while “working at home” . . .

pay back taxes on nearly $18,000 in expenses. Former Gov. Frank Murkowski, spent $463,000 on travel in 2006. Palin spent $93,000 in 2007, records show

buying (and keeping!) $150K of clothes that YOU paid for . . .

Palin’s clothes did not constitute “personal use of campaign funds” because the funds in question came from the RNC instead of the McCain/Palin campaign. I think I heard somewhere that she donated them to Michelle Obama.

trumpeting family values an abstinence for everyone but her own family . . .

You have kids? How well do yours listen.

“thanks but no thanks” on that bridge to nowhere that she supported . . .

She endorsed the multimillion dollar project during her gubernatorial race in 2006. And while she did take part in stopping the project after it became a national scandal, she did not return the federal money. She just allocated it elsewhere. If it was better spent elsewhere no problem.

grandstanding about refusing $28 million in stimulus funds when she accepted more than $200 million in stimulus funds . . .

“We are not requesting funds intended to just grow government,” Palin said. “In essence we say no to operating funds for more positions in government.” I was in Anchorage when this happen and most locals supported it.

saying she’s against earmarks when, as Alaska’s governor, she hired a lobbyist to secure more earmark money per capita than any other state . . .

Palin helped obtain through the earmark process: $500,000 for a youth shelter, $1.9 million for a transportation hub, $900,000 for sewer repairs and $15 million for a rail project, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan watchdog group, Taxpayers for Common Sense. I would think those are probably more worthy projects that pig odor. For the 2008 budget Sen. Barack Obama, submitted a laundry list of federal funding requests to the Senate Appropriations Committee: 112 earmarks totaling more than $330 million in taxpayer funds.

denying that her husband belonged to a secessionist organization . . .

Gail Fenumiai, director of the Alaska Division of Elections, said Todd Palin twice registered under the Alaskan Independence Party — in 1995 and 2000. Some members of the party have advocated secession from the United States, though that is not a goal listed in the party’s platform. Again see Rev. Wright.
