I had more visitors to my blog on August 29 than ever before in one day. I also received seven comments on my anniversary post and six of them were negative.
It was a reminder to how the Left was acting that day one year ago. As Texas for Sarah Palin highlighted in the post “August 29th: the Dark Side” the Left was nasty, irate, bitter, aggressive, bullying, attacking, furious, incensed and outright lying about Palin’s past. On a day when conservatives were experiencing an all-time high, liberals tried their best to knock us down and rain on our parade. It seems like they were tasked to do the same one year later, trolling Palin support blogs and websites and making angry comments.
One of the commenters took one of my sentences out of context, this one: “I went to CNN and saw Palin's face. I was SHOCKED!! I had no idea who Palin was, but I was at once extremely excited!” What I meant was that Romney and Pawlenty were considered the frontrunners and I was expecting one of them, so I was shocked that they weren’t there and instead a woman who was never mentioned as a frontrunner – it was an exciting choice! When I looked up her biography, her voting history, political views, I was even happier because of all the reasons I mentioned in my post. If she turned out to be moderate, squishy, left-leaning in her views I wouldn’t have been supportive of her, but she of course is not. This commenter took offense to the fact that I was excited about a woman whom I didn’t previously know, and I’ve heard that criticism a lot from the Left. But the simple fact is that most of us were all pretty depressed about McCain and the VP pick was expected to be someone safe and not rock the boat. Even some conservative bloggers didn’t know Palin was a frontrunner. So by that fact alone, she was exciting and people were excited the minute she was announced.
No one can deny that when Palin was announced it energized the base like never before. This commenter thinks that we should never be excited about anyone if we don’t already know who they are. Well, we were introduced to her, listened to her, loved what she said – what’s so wrong with that? Everyone starts out getting to know someone from the same point. I bet most Obama supporters today were introduced to him from his 2004 DNC keynote address; it was considered to be the groundbreaking speech that elevated his status as a star. Yet according to this commenter, anyone who didn’t previously know him should not have been excited about him. That makes no sense.
I’ve heard many times from the Left that McCain picked a woman just to appeal to female voters. That is so stupid it’s almost comical. Palin appeals to EVERYONE, men and women. It has to do with her political views, her values, and her ideas on limited government. The Left just doesn’t understand that. What they don’t understand they try to destroy, but they won’t break our support for Palin.

Palin traveling to Asia next month for Financial Forum
From the Wall Street Journal blog, China Journal:
What’s Sarah Palin Doing Next Month? Addressing A Financial Forum In Hong Kong, Of Course
August 31, 2009, 7:01 AM ET
Quick: what do Sarah Palin, Bill Clinton, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have in common?
Quite possibly nothing right now. But come Sept. 23, if all goes according to plan, all three of them will have been keynote speakers at the annual CLSA Investors’ Forum in Hong Kong.
CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, a Hong Kong-based brokerage, announced Monday that the former Republican candidate for the U.S. vice presidency and, until she resigned last month, governor of Alaska, will address the Sept. 21-25 event in what a press release called “her first international speaking engagement outside North America.”
Palin – who’s never been to East Asia and isn’t exactly famous for her mastery of public speaking or her expertise in finance and international affairs – might seem an unusual choice for an event that, according to CLSA, is “Asia’s premier investment conference providing unrivaled corporate access to 1,300 global fund managers from 32 countries, representing more than $10 trillion in funds under management.” CLSA spokeswoman Simone Wheeler says that orators at the forum often come from outside the securities industry. “Our keynote speakers are always notable luminaries, and they usually address subjects that go beyond finance, such as geopolitics,” she says. “Our goal is to provide investors a diversity of views.”
Indeed, while the forum has hosted its share of finance bigwigs – Alan Greenspan addressed it in 2006, the same year Clinton and Al Gore also spoke, and Michael Milken and Marc Faber have both attended multiple times – it has had a fairly eclectic mix of others, too: Bob Geldof, the rocker turned anti-poverty activist, spoke in 2007, along with Tutu, the Nobel Peace Prize winner from South Africa. CLSA has also hired Sir Elton John, Macy Gray, and Tom Jones in years past as entertainment.
“As the first female governor of Alaska and the youngest person ever elected governor of that state, Palin has broken new ground in U.S. politics and we are delighted that she will make her first visit to Asia to present at the CLSA Investors’ Forum,” CLSA Chairman and CEO Jonathan Slone said in the press release Monday.
Wheeler declines to say whether CLSA is paying Palin for her address. It won’t be open to the media, she says.

The day that sparked a new fire for conservatism


Today is Sarah Palin Day - August 29 - the anniversary of the day John McCain announced his running mate.
This is what happened to me that day.
Up to that point I was very disappointed in the election season. After McCain won the nomination I pretty much gave up all hope. Obama winning his nomination and then picking Joe Biden as his running mate just made me want to turn off the TV forever. Needless to say I had a barely nominal interest in who McCain picked as running mate. After watching Obama's DNC speech I almost didn't want to know who McCain picked for fear of feeling kicked in the stomach again.
Then on August 29 around 11am came an email from my cube-mate who sits next to me. He didn't want to say anything out loud given the hostile work environment we're in. The email said "check CNN." I went to CNN and saw Palin's face. I was SHOCKED!! I had no idea who Palin was, but I was at once extremely excited! In an instant, I was shaken out of my election doldrums and intensely riveted and engrossed in it. I looked up everything I could find on Palin. I called my husband with the news. After work I called my dad and mom.
I watched her speech when I got home. I was in tears listening to the words coming out of her mouth - limited government, lower taxes, individual liberty - I couldn't believe someone like her existed and she was the governor of Alaska! All I could think was that I was just so happy and so proud that McCain picked her. McCain talked about her start in politics, how she joined the PTA, and I still was in a state of shock that someone like her, and everyday woman just like me, was picked as the VP candidate. I watched the wall-to-wall coverage on the cable news networks that evening. Conservatives were so happy with her. She sparked new life into the election and our beliefs.
It was definitely one of the best days ever and it changed my life. For me it sparked a desire to really get behind the conservative movement, and try to elect the most conservative, everyday Americans we can. It changed my views on the Republican party. But most of all as a woman, that day definitely inspired me that I could have it all - the career, family, everything - just like Palin. And she is someone who I agree with politically on nearly everything. I could relate to her and I was supremely impressed by her servant's heart.
Sarah is a shining star and she's just starting the journey of her political career. We'll be here with you each step of the way!
Here is the video coverage McCain's announcement speech, and Palin's introduction speech. It's well worth it to watch again. It'll send chills down your spine.
From CSPAN on youtube: Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) announces Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate.
Palin directs our attention to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling
Palin posted a link to her Facebook account regarding a ruling that allows for development in the Beaufort Sea. She didn't post any comments about it, just the link. This is great progress in off shore drilling.
9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling allows Beaufort drilling

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A ruling Thursday by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has cleared the way for Shell Oil to resume its exploration and development in the Beaufort Sea.
The court's ruling says the Bush administration was correct in not demanding a new environmental impact assessment for the company's drilling leases.
The suit filed by the North Slope Borough and the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission alleged that the Minerals Management Service was supposed to have included additional environmental work in its studies before a lease sale took place in 2007.
The court rejected those claims.
The decision allows Shell Oil to continue exploration and development of off-shore oil prospects in the Beaufort, but it does not affect Shell's leases in the Chukchi Sea, which are tied up with a separate lawsuit by environmental groups and the village of Point Hope.
Shell spokesperson Curtis Smith said the company hoped to start exploratory drilling next year with a somewhat smaller operation than originally planned.
"We're hopful that we can drill in 2010," Smith said. "Our 2010 plan of exploration was crafted as a direct result of feedback from North Slope stakeholders that we were moving too fast, that it was too much and too soon, and the new plan reflects that."
"It's one year, it's one rig, "It's half the number of wells we previously planned to drill."
While the ruling does remove an obstacle, there remains some work to be done, Smith said.
"The MMS is still reviewing our plan of exploration and we still have some major permits that need to be achieved," he said. "It's a small victory, but there's a long way to go."
In March, the court vacated an opinion issued in November of 2008, which had halted Shell's plans.
Gov. Sean Parnell lauded the Thursday decision, saying that developing the Outer Continental Shelf oil is critical to Alaska's long-term economic future.

A Million Voices for Sarah Palin
This Sarah Palin tribute video always gets me pumped up and it's one of my favorites. In celebration of our almost one-year anniversary of Palin being introduced to us on the national stage as McCain's running mate, I'll post it here now.
I've bookmarked this video but you can also find it at the excellent Palin news source - The Book of Sarah. They keep all the Palin information you could ever need handy. Much thanks to them!

Chambliss turns on Palin
After Palin rallied Georgia voters to re-elect Saxby Chambliss during the runoff, Chambliss has turned his back on her. In the same breath he praised Obama on his efforts on healthcare reform.
Chambliss' words could be interpreted differently, I suppose. He says that he doesn't think there will be death panels created in the current bill - he could be referring to literal death panels - as in, literally a panel that decides life and death for each patient. That in itself is twisting Palin's words a bit, because she was referring to the consequences of the bill in its current form. The reward for "positive results," the denying healthcare to terminal patients, and so on, would all lead ultimately to the government deciding who receives care or not, and subsequently who will die because of it.
The fact that Chambliss didn't elaborate on this statement is a concern. As is the fact that he's praising Obama. It appears that he doesn't fathom how bad this bill is and how it has the possibility to destroy everything we hold dear.
As a side note, I think it's funny that only "dozens" of people went to see Chambliss speak. Quite a difference from the thousands that came to his rally when Palin was there.

Chambliss takes on Palin, commends Obama on health care reform
Dozens gathered at the Augusta Museum of History for a chamber of commerce forum on health care reform with Senator Saxby Chambliss. Chambliss attempted to set the record straight on what he calls misinformation.
News 12 at six o'clock, August 26, 2009
AUGUSTA,Ga---Dozens gathered at the Augusta Museum of History for a chamber of commerce forum on health care reform with Senator Saxby Chambliss. Chambliss attempted to set the record straight on what he calls misinformation.
"Say goodbye," said Susan Swanson who is fed up with Washington lawmakers. "Kick out the bums. Kick them all out."
She fears talk of health care reform.
"My concern is all this talk about death panels," said Susan. "All the bureaucracy that people have to go through."
The death panel rumors were given credence by Sarah Palin who campaigned with Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss in Augusta back in November. Chambliss is looking to distance himself from Palin on his latest trip to Augusta.
"I don't agree with her that there will be death panels created by any of the plans that are out there," said Chambliss.
Susan doesn't know who to believe.
"It's not Washington," said Susan. "I don't believe Washington."
"I commend the president for spending political capital to bring this issue to the forefront," said Chambliss. "We've talked about reforming health care for years, but we've never gotten around to it."
Chambliss reached across the aisle as Senator Ted Kennedy, a champion for health care reform, loses his battle to cancer.
"The Senate is a family," said Chambliss. "We are all good friends within the Senate, and Senator Kennedy was a great legislator."
But nice gestures won't ease Susan's concerns about Washington.
"We're not going to give up our freedom of good health care to make them happy," said Susan.
Senator Chambliss says he would like to see the government provide tax credits. He says he could not support the current house bill that would pay for reform by possibly taxing the rich.

Palin's thoughts on Kennedy's passing
A very sweet, short note posted on her Facebook page early this morning:
I would like to extend our sympathies to the Kennedy family as we hear word about the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy. He believed in our country and fought passionately for his convictions.

Obama wants media to leave his kids alone
Let me start off by saying I agree that children of political figures need to be left alone and able to live their own lives out of the spotlight. That's not the issue here. The issue is that this is one of the most hypocritical things Obama has said. The Obama family is going on vacation to Martha's Vineyard this week and he had the audacity to actually tell the media not to report on or take pictures of his children or else they will be kicked off of the traveling press corps.
Yet it's entirely okay for the Palin children to be trashed, smeared and made fun of endlessly. It's entirely okay for Bristol's love life to be exposed in the most disgusting ways. It's entirely okay for the sealed divorce records of his opponent to be "anonymously leaked" allowing embarrassing private details to be reported in the tabloids for their children to read later. But if you take a picture of any of the Obama girls eating ice cream - you'll be kicked off the press corps.
Also, this is from someone who has used his children as political props in many TV interviews, and he's even on the cover with them in this week's Parade magazine.
I'm guessing Martha's Vineyard is a lot different than when the Bush family vacationed there. I'm guessing Obama will not face the onslaught of Iraq war protesters, and I doubt MSM will say anything about him being "the most vacationing President ever" like they did with Bush. MSM keeps saying this is the "first official vacation" but I've seen the girls all over Paris and London shopping, eating and changing the face of fashion. We've seen the various "date nights" in Paris and NYC. What were those trips?
By the way, I read the comments and every single one so far was negative against Obama and pointing out the hypocrisy, and this is at the Boston Globe. I was shocked.

President urges media shutterbugs to respect daughters’ privacy
By Susan Milligan
The Boston Globe
August 24, 2009
EDGARTOWN - The Obama White House, like administrations before it, has gone to great lengths to accommodate the press corps traveling with the president on his first official vacation in office. Staffers arranged for a filing center at a local school, assembled “pools’’ of reporters to tail the president if he goes out, and promised to brief the press daily.
But the real message to those hoping to cover the president’s vacation is: really, we wish you wouldn’t.
Unlike recent presidents, Obama has two young children, and the first couple is adamant that the girls be left alone. That means no approaching, cameras in tow, when Sasha and Malia are trying to get ice cream, or perhaps ride on the island’s famed carousel.
Aside from wishing a good time for all, in fact, the president had one clear message yesterday for reporters, said Bill Burton, the deputy White House press secretary: “The first family would very much appreciate if you respect the privacy of the girls while they’re out here on vacation.’’
That was before Burton even got to the matters of whether the president would be conferring with advisers while on vacation (yes, some) or how he felt about the recent elections in Afghanistan (looking forward to hearing the results along with everybody else).
“I asked him if he had a message for the press corps, and that’s what it is,’’ Burton told those of the press that traveled to the Vineyard on the White House charter.
Further, added press aide Katie Lillie, there will be no tolerating reporters using cellphones to call or text friends with the president’s latest movements on the island. Since the Vineyard has relatively few roads - and it’s easy to figure out how Obama would travel from one venue to another - those in the press pool must agree not to telegraph where he’s going.
Violators, she said, would be thrown out of the pool.
Krauthammer tells Palin to sit down and shut up
Charles Krauthammer, who is a regular guest on Fox, has regular news columns, and who has the NRO staff posting his insights on the Corner daily – doesn’t have half the readers that Palin does on Facebook. Although his opinions on this most recent health care debate have been intellectual and insightful, they haven’t caught fire like Palin’s. They haven’t utterly dismantled the bill like Palin’s.
So Krauthammer tells Palin to “leave the room,” which leads me to ask, what side are you on Charles? Do you want this health care bill or not? Palin effectively put a huge dent in the progress of this bill and now he wants her to leave the room so everyone else can have a “reasoned discussion.” It seems to me that Palin did have a reasoned column. She stated the facts of this bill – bold, can’t ignore them, facts. When the democrats were left to defend those facts they couldn't because she was right. And she has the personality to engage millions of voters. They listen to her which makes her an effective tool in the conservative movement. The fact that Krauthammer wants her to leave the room says a lot about what side he’s on. He doesn’t want the conservative movement to progress, period.
In a now-famous column at Hot Air, a poster with the pseudonym “Doctor Zero” took on Krauthammer’s article and it was a thing of beauty. Doctor Zero’s column should be read entirely but here’s a snippet.

Every political movement needs both academic intelligence, and vital charisma. The Left has always viewed the relationship between its intellectuals and politicians as something like the production and marketing departments in a business – and when it comes to accumulating power, socialists are all business. People like Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayers spent decades weaving the strings that control the Obama marionette. They openly wrote of their understanding that savvy merchandising would be needed to make the public accept their agenda, at least until the public no longer has a meaningful choice about accepting it. When was the last time you heard a leftist intellectual belittle a popular liberal politician, the way Charles Krauthammer treated Sarah Palin?
The challenge for conservatism is to educate the voters in its basic principles, since they received no such education in the public schools. Conservatism always triumphs on the elementary questions of freedom and capitalism. The ideas of the Left are diseased in root and branch – history has shown there is no need to allow them to blossom, in order to see they are poisonous. Conservatives who allow themselves to be dragged into bickering about page 945 of a 1200-page bill have already conceded far too much of the debate. Americans deserve better than being told to sit down and shut up, while Washington plays Jenga with Obama’s obscene health-care proposals. They should be angry and insulted their time and money were ever wasted with this madness.

Those who attack Palin are rewarded
Like Katie Couric before her, Shannyn Moore has won an award for her "work" in attacking Palin. From the ADN's Alaska Ear:
Also, the ADN thinks they're being cute by referring to Palin as "She who was Governor" in that article and also "the death panel lady." Stay classy, ADN. No wonder that newspaper is going down the toilet financially. No one wants to read this stupid high school-type name calling.
KUDOS . . . Earwigs report blogger Shannyn Moore, a regular on the Huffington Post.com and her own blog (shannynmoore.wordpress.com), won the top award at the progressive Netroots Nation convention this past week in Pittsburgh -- the Gilliard Grant of Merit for Journalism. Shannyn is from Homer and looks headed for big times Outside.Don't you just love how they start off saying "kudos" to this piece of trash? The ADN has lost all journalistic integrity.

Good news: Gallup reports that conservatives outnumber liberals
While I'm catching up on Palin's role in the healthcare debate, I'll post this good news.
Gallup's latest poll reports that conservatives outnumber liberals in all 50 states. That's big!

Conservatives Now Outnumber Liberals in All 50 States, Says Gallup Poll
Monday, August 17, 2009
By Terence P. Jeffrey, Editor-in-Chief
(CNSNews.com) - Self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals in all 50 states of the union, according to the Gallup Poll.
At the same time, more Americans nationwide are saying this year that they are conservative than have made that claim in any of the last four years.
In 2009, 40% percent of respondents in Gallup surveys that have interviewed more than 160,000 Americans have said that they are either “conservative” (31%) or “very conservative” (9%). That is the highest percentage in any year since 2004.
Only 21% have told Gallup they are liberal, including 16% who say they are “liberal” and 5% who say they are “very liberal.”
Thirty-five percent of Americans say they are moderate.
During Republican President George W. Bush’s second term, the number of self-identified conservatives as measured by Gallup dropped, riding at a low of 37% as recently as last year.
According to new data released by Gallup on Friday, conservatives outnumber liberals in all 50 states--including President Obama’s home state of Illinois--even though Democrats have a significant advantage over Republicans in party identification in 30 states.
“In fact, while all 50 states are, to some degree, more conservative than liberal (with the conservative advantage ranging from 1 to 34 points), Gallup's 2009 party ID results indicate that Democrats have significant party ID advantages in 30 states and Republicans in only 4,” said an analysis of the survey results published by Gallup.
“Despite the Democratic Party's political strength-- seen in its majority representation in Congress and in state houses across the country--more Americans consider themselves conservative than liberal,” said Gallup’s analysis.

Palin might be back on Twitter soon
I found this story from last Friday regarding Palin's new Twitter account. I'll be keeping an eye on "SarahPalinUSA" to see if it's her. From the Alaska Dispatch:
Talking Points Memo reports former Gov. Sarah Palin is ready to emerge from her mama-bear hibernation on Twitter at any point. TPM says the new Twitter page SarahPalinUSA is the replacement for AKGovSarahPalin.
Dispatch has as yet been unable to confirm the report. As of 9:30 a.m. Friday, there had been no postings on the new site, but it did already report 2,770 followers.
I'm back - thanks for your patience
I'm finally back. It was a great vacation but I'm ready to be back home and catching up with all the Sarah Palin news! I know I missed a lot. Thank you for your patience.

On vacation out of the country - back Aug 17
I'm sorry I haven't kept up with the most recent Sarah news. I thought I would have much more time to blog but I've been too busy packing and getting ready for my vacation. I'm going to an island where I'll have absolutely no internet access and probably no American cable TV access, either. I'm excited!! I'll see you back here on August 17.

Compare and Contrast
I filled up my tank this morning and the regular unleaded was $2.52/gallon. Remember during the Bush administration every day MSM would be crying outrage over high gas prices? Sometimes they would say it was because of the war in Iraq, and some of the more demented ones would say that it was because “Bush has ties to Big Oil.” Where is the fear mongering now? The price is nearly the same as when the moonbats were outraged then. Now we never hear about the price of gas.
Today the unemployment rate went down to 9.4% - where’s the usual outrage from MSM? Again, when the Bush Administration had much lower unemployment numbers, we would hear constant stories about how he was destroying the country. Now? MSM is actually reporting this as good news because it went down .5%, with no negativity toward Obama whatsoever.
When President Bush wanted to wiretap the phone lines of suspected terrorists, the Left and MSM went crazy. They screamed that he was creating a police state, taking away privacy, the list goes on. Now we have a President who is encouraging citizens to report each other to the White House for merely disagreeing with his policies. Even further, the information the White House gets will be kept and not released, effectively creating an enemies list. He’s also calling anyone who protests against his policy "a dangerous mob."
Whenever you hear a story from MSM, take it with a grain of salt.

Poll: Virginia Voters Prefer Palin to Obama
These poll numbers by the Public Policy Polling survey of Virginia show that voters would approve Palin campaigning for a Republican candidate in that state over Obama campaigning for a Democratic candidate. The interesting thing the article points out is that Virginia was an Obama state in the election. I believe overall these are good numbers for Palin at this time. It just goes to show you how strong Palin's approval is within the Republican party.
Poll: Virginia Voters Prefer Palin to Obama
The Washington Independent
By David Weigel 8/5/09 12:18 PM
Buried inside the new Public Policy Polling survey of Virginia are two questions: How would voters react if President Obama campaigned for a Democratic candidate, and how would they react if former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) campaigned for the Republican?
The answer, in a state that voted 53-46 for Barack Obama in last year’s election? More people would go for Palin’s candidate, although most voters would prefer that neither politician weigh in. By a 35-26 margin, voters say they’d be less likely to support a Republican candidate if Palin campaigned for him. But by a 37-14 margin, voters say they’d be less likely to support the Democrat if Obama campaigned for him.
This comes in a poll that finds dramatically lower Democratic enthusiasm for the 2009 elections, and PPP president Dean Debnam explains that Democratic gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds is lagging because the voters activated to vote for Obama in 2008 were not paying attention to this race. “Somewhat counter intuitively Barack Obama’s poor numbers are exactly why Creigh Deeds needs the President to campaign for him,” said Debnam.![]()

Palin currently in NYC, meeting with HarperCollins
Palin spoke with Mike Allen last night to dispel the divorce rumors that won't die and revealed she was in NYC with Todd and her family meeting with HarperCollins to discuss her book.
Palin also revealed her light, happy and spirited mood in her talk with Allen. Something that I'm sure drives the liberals crazy. No matter how hard they try they can't break her spirit.

Mike Allen had a brief phone conversation with Sarah Palin last night. In doing so, Palin knocked down divorce rumors -- something her spokeswoman had already done over the weekend.
So why reiterate it again?
Who knows, but here is one guess: She and her advisers may have actually just wanted to put out that she was in New York City for book meetings and was there with husband Todd and the family.
In other words, a pre-emptive move before one of the NYC tabs or a blog up there saw her and ran an item.
From Playbook:
SARAH PALIN told Playbook in a brief phone call from New York City last night that she is NOT getting divorced, and that she and Todd have been talking about “our future together.” “Do you want to talk to Todd?” she asked. “He’s sitting right next to me.” But he didn’t come on the line. Sounding gushy as ever, the former governor called widespread blogosphere reports of a possible split “made up,” and quipped that she loves finding out “what’s goin’ on in my life from the news.” Palin said her upcoming book will convey a “pioneering spirit” and will “inspire those doing battle in their own lives.” She said she and the family had been doing “fun kids’ things” during her trip to Manhattan to meet with her publisher, HarperCollins Publishers.

Non-Palin post re: Healthcare
Here's another video that's been spreading through the conservative blogs. It's a compilation of Obama admitting that he wants a single-payer system and to eliminate private insurance. This is scary, folks.

Bumped: "Ethicsgate" video
I hope it works this time. It appears that it was removed from the other place it was hosted. The bloggers are really trying to get this removed from the internet. Watch it while you can.

"Ethicsgate" video exposes ethics complaint filers and their connections
Heeding the call from Texas for Sarah Palin, I'm posting this video in hopes that more people will see it and know the truth about who filed the complaints against Palin. They were not "concerned citizens;" it was a coordinated effort by an organized Palin-hating group.
From TX4SP:
Please watch to see how they coordinated the effort to file the complaints together, decided the subject matter of the complaints, and how closely connected they are to the Democrats in the AK Legislature, U.S. Senators and Obama Administration.

From TX4SP:
"Ethicsgate" is a video which connects the dots between the people who filed ethics complaints against Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a circle of Palin-hating bloggers (including those who filed ethics complaints themselves), the Democrat Party (Alaska and national) and the Obama administration.This video exposes the fact that the people who filed the frivolous ethics complaints are all part of an organized group committed to destroy Palin. The bitter hags featured in the video are trying to get this yanked from video-hosting sites so watch it while you can.
