  The story is just unraveling. Many Alaskans are so afraid to speak out becasue of her retaliation, vindication and vindictiveness. Go to http://www.andrewhalcro.com and search “Mat Maid” or “Matanuska Maid ” for the last year to see how Sarah Palin really operates. You will be shocked.

  Palinguage:
  If you’re a minority and you’re selected for a job over more qualified candidates you’re a “token hire.” If you’re a conservative and you’re selected for a job over more qualified candidates you’re a “game changer.”
  If you live in an Urban area and you get a girl pregnant you’re a “baby daddy.” If you’re the same in Alaska you’re a “teen father.” (Actually, according to your own MySpace page you’re an F’n redneck that don’t want any kids, but that’s too long a phrase for the evil liberal media to take out of context and flog morning noon and night).
  Black teen pregnancies? A “crisis” in black America. White teen pregnancies? A “blessed event.”
  If you grow up in Hawaii you’re “exotic.” Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re the quintessential “American story.”
  Similarly, if you name you kid Barack you’re “unpatriotic.” Name your kid Track, you’re “colorful.”
  If you’re a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the individual you’re “reckless.” A Republican who doesn’t fully vet is a “maverick.”
  If you say that for the “first time in my adult lifetime I’m really proud of my country” it makes you “unfit” to be First Lady. If you are a registered member of a fringe political group that advocates secession that makes you “First Dude.”
  A DUI from twenty years ago is “old news.” A speech given without proper citation from twenty years ago is “relevant information.”
  And, finally, if you’re a man and you decide to run for office despite your wife’s reoccurrence of cancer you’re a “questionable spouse.” If you’re a woman and you decide to run for office despite having five kids including a newborn… Well, we don’t know what that is ’cause THAT’S NOT A FAIR QUESTION TO ASK.

  I can’t believe the reviews and sypmathy she is getting. I mean, come on, nobody’s picking on her because she’s a woman. She’s a former mayor of some po dunk town with a few hillbillies and millions of federal tax dollars she so diligently pursued by hiring a lobbyist close to the corrupt congressional delegation she now eskews. Who could possible be buying into her ‘qualifications,’ victimhood and disingenuity other than the hopeless(and dwindling) “Christian” right?
