Soaring did rise dramatically under Palin, and we all know the verdict on "Troopergate", please fill me in this debunking you speak of.

I haven't read through this thread, but I came across an article several years ago saying that the average CEO had a "C" average.

Michael Dell dropped out of college.

So, you're pretty much saying that going to college, whether for 1 year or 4 years or 6 years is the same as marriage? "Okay, i see. Thanks."

I will grant you that many people get screwed by their colleges, but that's more like cohabitation than marriage.

And I know lots of guys who've had 5 wives in a six years - but their husbands would have been pissed if they'd found out...

Spending rose in Palin's Alaska administrations - USATODAY.com
Quote:
...[T]he latest capital budget, even after the vetoes, is worth $2,500 per person in Alaska. The national average was $317 per person in state government capital outlays in 2003, the most recent data available, Erickson said.

"She has presided over a very unconservative capital budget by any nationwide standard,"
Palin has mixed record as fiscal conservative - Sacramento Politics - California Politics | Sacramento Bee (http://www.sacbee.com/839/story/1307966.html - broken link)

Imagine what she could do with an astronomical deficit.

Look up my responses in the Palin threads if you are so inclined. I have no interest re-hashing out the same argument only to be left in a dead thread while people run off with their fingers in their ears when they can no longer answer to their failed position. Take it as you will, make a snide remark, not worth my time.

Of course she is. However, the Left, the dems and the MSM have tried desperately to portray her as something entirely different.

No one is being snide, you seem to think you know better than legitimate media sources. Not blogs, or editorials mind you. Additionally, you appear to have some reliable evidence to debunk my claim, but are unwilling to produce it. It seems the issue is your credibility, not my partisanship.

What, you mean I don't bow down to the all powerful media and there complete and perfect knowledge of all they say? Sorry, look for another sucker. If you think the media coverage on this is "objective" and without slant, then you are confused, easily mislead and a perfect supporter for those who would manipulate you.

I don't "quote" the media, you do. I quote the official reports. That is, if we are talking about the troopergate report, I will use the report itself to show the problems with it. If you want to talk about the "Bridge to Nowhere" I will quote the actual bills and the votes of those relevant to it.
You focus on your special news sources made for idiots and those willing to take the claims at face value, I will deal with the facts.

As I said, if you are so inclined you can search up my responses in the threads relevant to each particular topic you mentioned. After all, it is better that those specific issues be discussed separately.

I won't waste my time pummeling your half-truth arguments in the ground and then running you off like the scared little misinformed person you are simply because it is a waste of my time. The facts are available, the fact that you will not look further then being told what to think tells me that any amount of evidence I provide will be useless.

So as I have told other posters, stick your head in the sand. I care not.

So a panel (not a media creation) finds that she abused power, but you know better.

As for the bridge to nowhere, a questionairre she filled out stated:
Quote:
Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?

Yes. I would like to see Alaska's infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now - while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.
But again, you know better.
