Palin Issues Addressed: Troopergate, Teen Pregnancy Funding

By: Pam On: Sep/3/08 -

Did you hear?  Sarah Palin “slashed” funding for teen moms.  The problem with that statement is that it isn’t true.  Via MM comes this link from blogger Lonewacko:

“Covenant House’s IRS Form 990 (link) shows the funds that Paul Kane describes as “slashed” was over a threefold increase from the government funds they received from all sources in 2006 (FY2006 ending 12/31/06).”

I will go slow for those of you that can’t keep up; State-funding-for-the-teen-pregnancy-program-increased

Did you hear? Sarah Palin tried to get her ex brother in law fired after he divorced Palin’s sister and when that didn’t work, she went after his boss!

Here’s the PDF version of the affidavit that Palin released on the investigation.   Palin has been accused of having Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan fired over his actions in the trooper controversy, but Palin and her lawyers dispute this. The statements released Tuesday night detail erratic behavior by Wooten, and include statements from Monegan saying he was not asked to fire Wooten

Here is Palin’s statement that she released to accompany the affidavit.  It is in PDF

Just remember, repeating lies does not make them become the truth!

The reason for the Palin bashing in the media

Even as the Obama camp ponders how best to handle John McCain’s veep pick of Sarah Palin, the high priests and priestesses of the media have marked her as an apostate. The Beltway class is in full-throated rebellion against a nondomesticated conservative who might pose a threat to their coronation of Barack Obama and the return of Camelot-on-the-Potomac. :

They want a VP to be a kind of parliamentary choice, someone they have already vetted, someone who’s made them laugh with insider jokes at the Gridiron dinner. The Beltway class whines constantly about how it wants fresh voices in politics, but we guess this means a first-term Democratic Senator rather than a first-term Republican Governor from some godforsaken U.S. state few of them have ever been to.

We are instructed that Mrs. Palin isn’t qualified, because she lacks Washington experience. But until recently that was said to be a virtue in Mr. Obama, who is at the top of his ticket. Meanwhile, there’s hardly a peep of media notice that the Obama campaign is preposterously trying to remake Joe Biden into a poor scrapper from Scranton when he’s been in the Senate for 36 years. They all know Joe. But when Mr. McCain picks an authentic middle-class mother who is also a Governor, we are told she’s not up to the job.

      Oh yes, well all this just proves that Palin is no good, Republicans are evil, and Barack Obama should be crowned Emperor of the United States because he is articulate, clean and we are certainly racists if we do not vote him in!

      Seriously, I already heard the truth behind the lies the MSM and Degenerates are trying to peddle, and the vermin are revealed to be the skum they are yet once again.

      Hail Sarah Palin! Palin for President 2012!

      Disseminating the TRUTH about the MSM’s slander over “Troopergate”.

      Hell, even if she had fired Monegan over his decision to keep an abusive, badge-heavy, drunkard trooper on the payroll, where is the problem. Anyone keeping someone like that on the payroll of the state troopers as a good’ol boy SHOULD be fired. At any rate the article details this “scandal” in detail doing what the MSM wont do. They call it “Journalism”.

      [...] So that takes care of Sambo, and I already posted on the debunking of the affair, banned books, and troopergate and teen pregnancy funding. [...]
