Toxic Palin's Toxic Alaska

Alaska is home to the only coastal fishery in the U.S. where oil companies can dump toxic runoff. In February 2008, her [Palin's] administration opposed a bill that would have increased the notice given to parents before schools were sprayed with pesticides, as well as a bill that would have banned PBDEs.
In August 2008, Palin opposed a measure that would have halted the controversial Pebble Mine, which critics fear may decimate the world’s largest commercial wild salmon fishery. She has neglected to push the Army Corps of Engineers to clean up a highly contaminated military base.
“She doesn’t have a good understanding of the science,” says the former research director of the Alaska Native Medical Program. “What she tends to do is talk about personal responsibility as the key to good health.”

None of this surprises me. Palin is just full of hot air. She is destructive and has nothing positive to say. What else can we expect from her?

Not only is Sarah Palin an insult to intelligent women, but she is just plain negative. It seems that trouble not only follows her but that she causes problems because she is not a thinker. Alaskans are not happy with her, but the oil companies are.

The destruction of the environment at the hands of oil people is a crime. Palin is part of the problem and she hides behind a radical notion of religion. We really have to reinstitute the idea of “Do unto others” so that people understand how the world is supposed to work. Otherwise we have people like Sarah Palin spreading negativity merely to advance her own agenda, which includes a destructive role that does so much harm in an already hurting world.

This story is interesting. As a conservative it drives me crazy because I am offered no choices by my own party. Sarah Palin is too negative and uninformed and undereducated to meet the demands of our nation. She is a joke but not a funny one. Alaska should represent pristine wilderness, but Palin is willing to trade this for dollars. It’s disgusting.

As an attorney I am constantly amazed at the way that some people skirt the law and injure others, as well as the environment, without paying the price personally. Palin is a destructive, ugly force. Others may say she is beautiful, but here’s a case where it’s not even skin deep. She is just plain divisive and destructive.

I cannot see how this woman got to be picked for VP. I really gave McCain more credit than this. But this is the limit. Palin has a history of greedy, mean-spirited, nasty, unlawful actions that defy what we know in this nation to be Constitutional and moral. She is just a fake who pretends to be a good Christian, but what good Christian would be so negative and say such hurtful, untruthful things? Alaska suffers due to her selfish policies and actions. I hope after this election this is all we will ever hear of this person.

Above there is a quote that goes, “She doesn’t have a good understanding of the science.” What an understatement! This woman does not even believe in science. The roof over her head was created by science, and so were the high fashion dresses she flaunts, and those designer glasses and the presses that print the money that she loves so much. Sarah Palin is a fraud who is out for herself. If anyone else believes otherwise, just study her record. It is as pathetic as her ignorance. She lives in the Dark Ages but wants all the things the current era has to spoil her with.

I totally agree with the physician above. Palin is a phoney who is out for herself. I wish the media would not give her so much attention. Afterall, she refuses to answer questions on television and just spurts lies. What kind of leader is this? Wait a minute. It sounds a lot like Bush!
