Sarah Palin's Secret Government

[ck4829]

Sarah Palin's promise for a new era of government openness as the reform governor of Alaska started to crack even before Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign built a wall of protectiveness around her.

Palin was elected nearly two years ago with splashy moves like publishing the state spending checkbook online. She kept a campaign pledge to allow the public to view online communications between state officials and potential bidders on a major gas pipeline, a contrast to her predecessor.

But her administration has claimed broad exceptions to Alaska's freedom of information rules to keep government e-mails secret, and it's shown reluctance to disclose documents about sensitive topics, ranging from polar bears to policy issues. And her state's online checkbook is limited in its detail.

Disclosures about private e-mail accounts used by Palin and her top aides have raised questions about whether they were trying to evade disclosure under the state's public records law. Her aides have denied this.

2. I'm tired of the country being run by dumb country folk.

The world isn't taking us seriously and the global depression that we are going into is a result of that. The Grand Old Party is just that...OLD! We really need a leader that can demonstrate sophistication and appeal to the world.

3. Watch it, Xeno(phobe?)

I'm a "dumb country folk" myself, and I take exception to that remark. Palin is not "country" and she's not "dumb." Neither is Cheney. They're sick, venal, corrupt people who will amass power however they can.

4. Palin the Alien doesn't live like most country folk.

Her lifestyle is not modest in the least.

She brought her city ways to a small town. That's not being country folk.

We have people here from Mass and CT that blend right in and there are others that still think they can bring their neighborhood association ways with them.

5. Republicans in power have to keep their action secret, or else they would be thrown out of power

Lets not let this crew of Republicans get elected

Vote for Obama
