"look at all the issues. Her position is in line with the majority on virtually all of them".


How is that radical?

Palin, According to a Democrat



CO. Hoosier, I'm not even sure that I can be classified as a "Palin fan", but I am kind of an observer. An old school buddy of mine has worked within the Alaska legislature for the last twenty years or so. He's a registered Democrat and has worked on projects that allowed him to cross paths with her going back when she was a city commissioner, as the mayor, and as the governor.

He told me that the picture painted of her as a mindless ideologue is about 180 degrees off base. He said that over the years, he'd probably dealt with her a couple of dozen times and that her input and/or decisions were always supported by law and not by personal beliefs.

The thing he told me about her that really peaked my interest of her was her ability to process information and then to quickly forge a plan with the information she was given. He said she was a living, breathing CPM chart. He said he had seen her on multiple occasions on a variety of subjects instantly absorb input from others and then respond with cogent solutions to problems. He said if you put her in a room with a bunch of people, the chances would be great that she'd be the smartest one in the room.

He told me that when he saw her debacle with Katie Couric, his first thought was, "who is that Sarah Palin imposter?" He said that was not the Sarah Palin he had worked with for years. He was sure that the interview was highly edited. It came out later that there was almost six hours of the interview that people didn't see.

He told me that if I really wanted to get a feel of who she is and how she dealt with powerful people, I should read the book, "Sarah Takes On Big Oil". It was released in October, 2008 and written by two of the state's top oil & gas editors. The lady they described had no fear to stand toe-to-toe with heavyweights and leave them slinking away with their tales between their legs. She told them that she was the advocate of the citizens of Alaska and there would be no deal making that would adversely affect them. The big boys at Exxon-Mobile and BP folded like a cheap suit.

One other thing he told me that still amazes him was how she managed to get people to work together. According to him, she could take two people with opposing opinions, sit down with them, listen to them, offer her solutions, and both guys would leave happy and not feeling that they had compromised their position at all.

He laughed at the "she doesn't read" meme. He said it is well known in the capitol that she was a voracious reader. She truly did read most of the national mags and newspapers, mostly on line, as well as a dozen or so energy trade magazines. According to him, there were stories about how she would take home stacks of papers and reports to prepare for a next-morning meeting and it was as if every word of those reports were stamped into her brain when she sat down at the meeting.

He told me not to be fooled by her syntax or her colloquialisms because they were not a fair barometer of her smarts. He said if people would just listen and not try to read between the lines, she was easy to understand. He said he'd love to see her and Obama in a debate about energy or even healthcare. He said she'd clean his clock. He even said that if she were given a day or two to prepare for a debate on foreign affairs, his money would still be on her.

He said she was the epitome of a leader. She assembled her staff, listened to their advice, allowed opposing ideas to be heard, and then acted accordingly. As a manager, she advocated making a plan based on the best info available, budgeting the plan, working the plan, measuring results, and quickly adjusting the plan if it was determined it wasn't working as expected. She believed in the First Law of Holes.

He thought her biggest struggles in the 2008 campaign were the product of trying to endorse McCain's positions on issues. She was able to voice her dissenting opinion on ANWR because her views were known, but on everything else she was expected to toe the McCain line. He said that she lacked the ability to shovel crap and sell it as perfume.

He reminded me that anyone who denies the accuracy of her "death panel" metaphor should go back and read her exact words, both her initial FB post and her rebuttal of Obama's attack on her words. He said "read what she wrote, not what someone wrote or said what she wrote". Her words in those posts have already been proven to be true.

He said that "divisive" is not a word that should be used to describe her. He said that was just a simple use of Alinsky's rule #13. He said, "look at all the issues. Her position is in line with the majority on virtually all of them".

He told me she wasn't perfect, but if I read something or heard something that was negative, I should check it out a little closer. He shared a lot more, but I'm afraid I've already rambled on for too long.

Should she run in 2012? I really don't know. Would I vote for her? It depends who she's running against. Will she drive the agenda if she doesn't run? Yes, for a long time.

Makes you wonder why and how all of us folks from other countries are informed, engaged, connected and interested in what happens in the US. Must be some sort of conspiracy or family or business connections or the fact that up until now US policy affects other countries. When at the family picnic and at the board table it is helpful to have an idea what is going on in your country.

per, I've noticed here recently that the "well, you're not even an American, or you don't live here so why do you care" meme is being trotted out quite a bit as a retort to a political comment....as opposed to actually responding to the opposing idea being presented. That logic is bogus, of course.

Take Shamu's comment, for instance.

shaumei said:

One can only translate this into a belief on his part that unless one is physically in the US, one cannot understand what is happening there. Okay, I can understand how he might believe that.

But one does have to ask, if being in the states gives one insight into what is happening there, where does the insight originate? Is it from listening to the Jew media? Is it from talking to like-minded conspiracy whackos who live and work in the same social circle as he? Is it from looking up into the skies and seeing con-trails? Is it from reading stories on the internet?

Most of Shamu's ideas/beliefs seem to originate with youtube and a wide variety of internet-based Conspiracy Planet-type websites. Perhaps he has a close circle of friends who believe as he does though I suspect that's not the case. Most people who experience the voices that torment Shamu are loners, or at least have a very small circle of friends. After all, it would be dangerous for too many outsiders to know that he KNOWS THE TRUTH. His life would be in danger from government agents, both internal and external, for merely exposing us to these government coverups.

Shamu, so you'll have a clue. I have internet access too. And I probably read more political commentary in a week, both left and right, than you read in a month or two. And yes, I've read your links, all of them....and found them to be filled with data picking, opinions presented as fact, and in some cases, pure lunacy.

But yeah, I'm the joke. Carry on my tinfoil pated friend.

whitewing,

all you have is tinfoil hat bs. you cannot explain how the wtc towers fell at freefall speed caused by office fires...never happened before or since and yet you cling to that explanation.

you next believe a jet hit the pentagon even though there is no video, no physical evidence, no luggage, no bodies nothing shown to the american public other than the govts word....the hole was too small and the speed it was suppose to hit the pentagon was impossible by physics...yet, you believe that a non professional pilot did it...

you then sit in venezuela with your wetback friends and call me a tinfoil hat...you are a stupid idiot...plain and simple...
