Next thing you will whine that she sold it to cheap when she did.

How about talking about the 2,069.00 check Sarah Palin just wrote her citizens of Alaska on the profits made on the pipeline???

If she were a dem you wouldn't even know they made a profit let alone no dem would share the profits with you.

More Palin lies.

Keep dreamin libs, your nightmare is about over.



I feel sorry for Obama. HE was the fresh new young one..... now he's being overshadowed.

I feel ZERO sympathy and empathy for the cries of "let's get back to issues," however.

Obama is a manufactured candidate who has spent the last year and a half creating a myth around himself. It's only natural that if you're a pop star, you're not going to have staying power. It's why he's been calling on old Hillary to do more and more of his groundwork for him as he's pretty much drilling in a dry well at this point.




Like a lousy lover, Obama "peaked" too soon.
Oh well.

Every 3 or four hours I find out another one of her lies. I guess in her part of Alaska, they may not have high speed internet yet
She listed it on ebay, where it was not sold, then sold it through a broker at a loss. Sounds just like the type of fiscal policies of Bushco.

Selling it as a loss is better than paying insurance and maintenance on something that you dont intend to use.

It was a sunk cost.

Are you talking about the dividend check from the oil company land leases that Alaskans get every year regardless of whether it's a Democratic or Republican governor?

I think the poster is talking about the increased dividend check from the State of Alaska that Governor Palin sent to Alaskan citizens instead of using on more government programs.

Actually, it seems that it was Sen. McCain who said she 'sold' it on eBay:


Political Punch

It did get sold, but, no profit.

Her version of the story is a little muddy however...

Rethinking it, my analogy was probably poor, since Bush would have actually sold the plane to his Halliburton buddies, who would just gouge the tax payer to the tune of millions. That would be a better comparison.

And that's surprising?

Like owning a car you can't afford, selling at a loss or for less than you owe is sometimes a GOOD step on the road to financial stability.

Palin Derangement Syndrome --- a hybrid version of Bush Derangement Syndrome, and some leftover Hillary hate mixed in to taste.
These folks can't even define the word "is" so I doubt you can explain to them the difference in "put" and "sold."
