Sarah Palin's Wasilla, Alaska

*SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE UNIQUE VIDEOS*

travel to Wasilla, Alaska, to explore Sarah Palin's hometown and to see what the folks there have to say. Unsurprised at the full-on support her town gave her, I was shocked at how small Wasilla's Main St. is - five buildings long. How is it that Sarah Palin talks so much about Main St?

It goes without saying that Sarah Palin was not there...

I have found that across the board all the republican political rhetoric is peppered if not laden with hatefulness. If you listen to the democrats they seem concerned with solutions versus complaining and pointing fingers. Even those that profess Christianity are promoting hate based philosophy. It really breaks my heart. Hey all you rabid republicans how about laying off the hate and coming up with creative fruitful solutions. I am sick of the hate. Where is the love...hmm..what would Jesus do?

I think the two-party system is what does America in...it's always he-said-she-said. There is no balance. It just swings back and forth, back and forth. There really is no benefit to working together, because you are just thinking in two-year cycles! Its the same short-sightedness that got us into the financial crisis...

I am STILL amazed at the popularity of this woman...Although, late night talk shows, rock star touring bus...$200,000 per appearance, daily slamming the pres and the press, etc. etc. can add up. These people of Wasilla are thrilled to finally have commerce but they speak sort if Stepford-like!!!! Diane Sawyer is more qualified for politics and she is a news journalist!!! Oy!

[worldli]

I do wonder how she manages to keep her mainstream appeal when she is positively ROLLING IN MONEY!!! That is something that always baffles me about Republicans - they can be spoiled and rich-as-hell, and still be the people's party! Then when we have one rich Democrat, they tear him apart...

[anarchris]

wtf, this is as stupid as palin.

and yes, im saying your both stupid. lol

[worldli]

Stupid is as stupid does!

[kryptekdta]

whats wrong with our city wasilla? It isn't full of crap like most cities...

[0nthecontrary]

Alright.

So I live in Wasilla.

And my dad and Sarah's husband Todd raced together in the Iron Dog.

So we were spectating together and we heard the news that several people were going down the wrong trail.

And you know she did?

The first thing she did was put her head down facing her boots and pray for them.

And that's one of the reasons I love Sarah Palin.

Because she's genuine.

God bless you guys.

but palin was corrupt, she was in the pocket of the oil companies who were wanting to drill in the alaskan wildlife preserve (I think thats what it is called). Bottom line she was a corrupt governor and resigned from the governorship of alaska

[crutmauler]

Wow!

That dude at the end is a major idiot 

[sgjake21]

"general lack of qualifications" ???? I still don't get this accusation. What about Obama? He had absolutely no executive experience, and you never heard about it. I just have to accept the fact that people in this country apparently like to drink the "liberal media kool-aid" ugh

[victor15968]

@worldli but thats what america is about! is growing and oppritunities. And if you look at what she did as a governor was go against her own will and convictions to uphold the constitution and that also includes vetoing a bill passed by alaskan congress to give rights to gay couples,such as sharing insurance,and just about everything a married couple would have. Have you read her book?have you looked at it from the other side? she was the most bipartisan Governor in American history.get informed

[victor15968]

@worldli

Look here's the deal.

Gov.Palin At the time of the election was Just as if not more qualified than our president now,so dont give me that,

she served longer as governor(although she resigned) than Barack Obama did as senator,she served as a mayor,and a city council woman,and at one point in time did struggle to pay her bills,and did run a buisness,and did live from pay check to paycheck,that is why everyday americans can relate to her even though she has made a living for herself.

Wasn't Wasilla a nice storybook type Alaska town until Palin turned it into a strip mall wasteland populated by meth freaks?

Spoonradar. And snorting a skittle isn't being an idiot? Hmm.

[spoonradar]

I'm from Wasilla, my friend. And believe me when I say this. Most of the level headed people here strongly dislike Sarah Palin. Shit, I went to school w/ her daughter Willow last school year lol. They're all fkn idiots.

[JoeyToxic69]

BTW Sarah is a down to Earth person! Not a fake. I am proud to be her neighbor!

[JoeyToxic69]

I love living here!!! Way much better than any rat race big cities. There's plenty fun all year round from snowboarding to skydiving! And if I want to go clubing I'll then drive 45 min. to Anchorage where there's Latin clubs to all hip hop and the world famous Chilkoot Charlies.
