The “Drilla From Wasilla” wants to be president in 2012! LOL!

Gov. Sarah Palin has refused to accept more than 30 percent of the federal economic stimulus money being offered to Alaska, including money for schools, energy assistance and social services.

The biggest single chunk of money that Palin is turning down is about $170 million for education, including money that would go for programs to help economically disadvantaged (Minorities) and and special needs students.

“We are not requesting funds intended to just grow government,” the “Killa From Wasilla” said. “In essence we say no to operating funds for more positions in government.”

I make no secret that I would like to see marijuana legalized, the magical herb is safe and therapeutic. But I am vehemently opposed to drugs like crack and heroin that wreak havoc on individuals and costs society untold billions in health care and crime-related expenses.

Drug dealers are the scum of the earth, and they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Recently the mother of Bristol Palin’s boyfriend was arrested for allegedly trafficking in oxycontin – commonly known as the “hillbilly heroin.”

“An investigator and the Alaska State Troopers’ union say political interference delayed the drug arrest of the mother of the boyfriend of Gov. Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol.” — The New York Times

Was Sherry Johnston’s arrest delayed until after the election? Perhaps a more pertinent question would be: Why isn’t John McCain being castigated for doing a horrible job of vetting Sarah Palin?

Sherry Johnston isn’t just the mother of Bristol Palin’s boyfriend, she’s also a friend of Bible-toting Sarah Palin. You are known by the friends you keep and Sarah Palin is a buddy of drug dealer.

I can imagine the screaming headlines if it were discovered that President-elect Barack Obama had a friend who was a drug dealer. We would never hear the end of it, and it would be an albatross around Obama’s neck for his whole term in office.

This story shouldn’t be buried in the back pages of newspapers, it deserves above-the-fold coverage. The press must be vigilant so that the corrupt political establishment in Alaska doesn’t merely slap Johnston on the wrist. The media must also tie this story in with John McCain’s reckless selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate.

We came uncomfortably close to having the White House resemble the Beverly Hillbillies household. I can imagine Bristol Palin and her redneck husband sneaking out the window of their bedroom to attend a rave, and President Palin and her drug-dealing pal discussing the merits of oxycontin in the Rose Garden.

To those of you who think I’m being unfair to Palin, do I need to remind you how she condemned Obama for his associations with Rev Wright and Ayers?

Palin supporters let’s examine Matthew &: 1,2: “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”

From Media Matters:

1. Guilty: Coulter’s latest book filled with falsehoods — Media Matters has examined a copy of Ann Coulter’s new book, Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America, and presents a sampling of the book’s numerous falsehoods. These falsehoods include her defense of claims made against Sen. John Kerry by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth; her assertion that “Fox News has never been caught promoting a fraud“; and her claim that President-elect Barack Obama was referring to Gov. Sarah Palin when he said “you know, you can put lipstick on a pig; it’s still a pig.”

In the book which Media Matters obtained in advance of the book’s release, Coulter repeatedly misrepresents the sources she cites. She also makes numerous inflammatory and offensive comments in Guilty. [ Read More ]

2. Is NBC going to help Coulter sell this book? — NBC has repeatedly provided Ann Coulter a platform to spew her inflammatory rhetoric even as NBC-affiliated hosts and anchors have expressed disapproval of her statements or criticized the media for promoting her. Coulter’s latest book, Guilty, is rife with such inflammatory comments, including saying that the Democratic primaries were a contest of “Who’s the Biggest Pussy?“; calling children whose parents divorce “future strippers” in a chapter titled “Victim of a Crime? Thank a Single Mother“; and calling former White House press secretary Scott McClellan “retarded.” Nevertheless, Coulter has announced that she is scheduled to appear on Today on January 6.

Bill Clinton Responds To Ann Coulter

———————————————————————————————

By — Derek Kravitz

From head to toe, every piece of clothing worn by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, has been picked at and prodded, from her rim-less $375 Kawasaki glasses to her red open-toed Naughty Monkey-brand shoes.

But scrutiny of her fashion sense reached to a new level after Politico reported yesterday that the Republican National Committee spent some $150,000 on high-end clothes and accessories for Palin and her family.

The expenditures, listed in a monthly financial disclosure filing with the Federal Elections Commission, included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for $49,425.74 and a $75,062.63 tab at a Neiman Marcus store in Minneapolis.

(The pricey clothes didn’t impress The Post’s Robin Givhan, who wrote in her “On Culture” column last month that Palin’s style was “exceptionally ordinary…Her clothes are unpretentious, but they are also unremarkable.” Givhan now calls the spending “plain stupid.“) — [MORE]

Sarah Palin spent more on clothes in one day than Joe the Plumber earns in 3+ years — does this make her a simple small town girl,…a middle class hockey mom? NOPE! Far from it. She his just another wicked Republican hypocrite…..a GOON!

Republican politicians — the custodians of sexual morality, friends of GOD, protectors of peasants and plumbers of “small-town” America.

….Hilarious!!!!

“ABC News’ Imtiyaz Delawala Reports: Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin invoked fear for the first time when discussing Sen. Barack Obama’s connection to former 60’s radical William Ayers.

‘I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way that you and I see America — as the greatest source for good in this world,’ Palin said of Obama to 2,000 supporters at a rally in Clearwater, Florida this morning. “I’m afraid this someone who sees America as imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country.’

‘This, ladies and gentlemen, has nothing to do with the kind of change that anyone can believe in, not my kids, not for your kids,’ Palin added.” http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/10/palin-plays-fea.html

With only a month to go before the general election, McCain finds himself behind in all the national polls, and most importantly trailing in all the battleground states. McCain feels he has no choice but to play the fear card, and so once again we are forced to endure the spectacle of GOP gutter politics.

Palin is playing the fear card, she is misrepresenting Obama as a radical with dubious personal associations.

It’s ironic that the McCain camp choose Palin to deliver the opening blow of their campaign of dirty tricks, when nobody inspires more fear than the governor of Alaska.

I tremble when I think of the awful prospect of McCain winning the general election, and then quickly dying. That would leave a woman who isn’t even qualified to be a White House clerical employee as leader of the free world.

The choice is quite clear, should we vote for Obama who represents and embodies hope and change, or should we go with a grouchy old man who resorts to playing the fear card?

Playing the fear card is bad enough, but the McCain card is also subliminally playing the race card. Racists see African Americans as different from other Americans, they are the “other” who think differently and act differently. Palin is arguing that “You and I” (read: Whites) see America one way and Obama sees America another way. Obama like most blacks, Palin is subliminally suggesting, is criminally-minded and likely to pal around with other scum like terrorists.

Reckless and desperate politicians rely on fear and racism to inspire citizens to vote for them, and statesmen trust in the goodness of the American people.

Vote for hope and change, and say no to fear and racism by voting for Obama the first Tuesday in November.
