Andrea Tantaros & Julia Banderas react to Gov Sarah Palin's Farewell Address Foxnews July 26 2009

This is what one Alaska fisherman had to say about his Governor:

As posted in comments on Gretas artical referncing the MOVEON ad about Sarah Palin

by Dewey Whetsell

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

1- Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the Governors office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republicans 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. But while youre thinking, Ill continue.

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 dont 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 governors 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 them and placed them in the when-hell-freezes-over stack. She let locals know that if we need something built, well pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governors jet because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governors 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 shes packing heat herself). Im 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 doesnt impress you, then youre 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 couldnt start drilling. In truth they were holding it like an investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get started. This summer, 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 are already 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 thats just a cover-up. Im 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 wont be holding my breath.

By the way, she was content to to return to AK after the national election and go to work, but the haters wouldnt 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.

Sarah Palin is a moron.... haven't the republicans learned anything since the election.. Christ just let it go.. she's STUPID. You don't want STUPID people in politics.

[garyworkman]

You would do a more for your cause if instead of just name calling you actually debated whatever your cause is. If Sarah's too Libertarian for you or you don't want to elect someone from a state where they have legalized medical marijuana, or you feel the government should be more involved in what people are allowed to do, I understand, we just disagree. Sarah made a lot of very powerful enemies so be sure you dislike her for the right reasons. People you may not like are influencing opinions!

How can people watch this drivel and think it's real????

[garyworkman]

The most "real" thing you're gonna see is in the comment made by an Alaska citizen and fisherman. I hope you read it. There are some very powerful people who are trying to destroy her and some of them would surprise you. Please look into it yourself.

[shaft219]

Palin is as RETARDED as this Andrea moron

[guidi2005]

@garyworkman Don't you get it? being a total idiot is a debating point and a very important one. We need to demand more substance from our leaders on both side. We cannot allow people with the metal capacity of a Palin to impact our lives. I would say the same for Fox news swimsuit models, MORE SUBSTANCE PLEASE, less T&A

[wesleyfpt]

Sarah Palin sounds like a principal lecturing a group of kindergarden kids whenever she gives a speech...Sarah, you have nothing whatsoever to offer America..please just go away.

[partylord94]

[SolusChristus924]

Sarah Palin has blood her hands with this shooting - a 9 year old girl died today because of her relentless despicable cross hairs on a map - depicting people as targets. God be with Sarah today because she has so much to answer for .....she is horrible horrible person!
