By Dewie Whetsell,  Alaskan Fisherman.

The last 45 of my  66 years I've spent in a commercial fishing town in
Alaska .  I  understand Alaska politics but never understood national
politics well  until this last year.  Here's the breaking point: Neither
side of  the Palin controversy gets it.  It's not about persona,  style,
rhetoric, it's about doing things.  Even Palin supporters  never mention
the things that I'm about to mention  here.

1. Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the  Democrats, because
as soon as Palin took the Governor's office away  from a fellow
Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into  the
Republican's "Corrupt Bastards Club" (CBC) and sent them packing.  Many
of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump  suits
The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing  confetti and
singing, "la la la la" (well, you know how they are). Name  another
governor in this country that has ever done anything  similar.

2. Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan  politicians to
protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So she  constructed and
enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits  called "ACES." Exxon
(the biggest corporation in the world) protested  and Sarah told them,
"don't let the door hit you in the stern on your  way out." They stayed,
and Alaska residents went from being merely  wealthy to being filthy
rich. Of course, the other huge international  oil companies meekly fell
in line. Again, give me the name of any other  governor in the country
that has done anything similar.

3.  The other thing she did when she walked into the governor's office  is
she got the list of State requests for federal funding for  projects,
known as "pork." She went through the list, took 85! % of the m  and placed
them in the "when-hell-freezes-over" stack. She let locals  know that if
we need something built, we'll pay for it ourselves. Maybe  she figured
she could use the money she got from selling the previous  governor's jet
because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the  money she saved by
dismissing the governor's cook (remarking that she  could cook for her
own family), giving back the State vehicle issued to  her, maintaining
that she already had a car, and dismissing her State  provided security
force (never mentioning - I imagine - that she's  packing heat herself).
I'm still waiting to hear the names of those  other governors.

4. Now, even with her much-ridiculed "gosh and  golly" mannerism, she
also managed to put together a totally new  approach to getting a natural
gas pipeline built which will be the  biggest private construction
project in the history of North America.  No one else could do it
although they tried. If that doesn't impress  you, then you're trying too
hard to be unimpressed while watching her  do things like this while
baking up a batch of brownies with her other  hand.

5. For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory  drilling at a
place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire  time why they
couldn't start drilling. In truth they were holding it  like an
investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get  started. Then,
she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking  them out. They
protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and  reminded them
that she knew the way to the court house.  Alaska  won again.

6. President Obama wants the nation to be on 25%  renewable resources for
electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the  legislature and submitted her
plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewables  by 2025. We ar! e alread y at 25%.
I can give you more specifics about  things done, as opposed to style and
persona Everybody wants to be  cool, sound cool, look cool. But that's
just a cover-up. I'm still  waiting to hear from liberals the names of
other governors who can  match what mine has done in two and a half
years. I won't be holding my  breath.

By the way, she was content to return to AK after the  national election
and go to work, but the haters wouldn't let her. Now  these adolescent
screechers are obviously not scuba divers. And no one  ever told them
what happens when you continually jab and pester a  barracuda. Without
warning, it will spin around and tear your face off.  Shoulda known
better.

You have just read the truth about  Sarah Palin that sends the media,
along with the democrat party, into a  wild uncontrolled frenzy to
discredit her. I guess they are only  interested in skirt chasers,
dishonesty, immoral people, liars,  womanizers, murderers, and bitter
ex-presidents' wives.

So  "You go, Girl." I only wish the men in Washington had your  guts,
determination, honesty, and morals.

I rest my  case. Only FOOLS listen to the biased media.
