They keep saying "she's a reformer." What has she reformed?

[Lex]

:shrug:

[Avalux]

1. Apparently that fox she wears around her neck. He used to be alive. n/t

[Atman]

2. The Wasilla, Alaska Dairy Committee.

Seriously. Look it up (except it wasn't actually called "The Dairy Committee", but something like that).

.

[Parche]

3. Butt He Is A Maverick

:rofl: :rofl: :hi:

[elehhhhna]

4. SHe brought big-box stores to Wasilla, AK! THAT'S IT! I'm serious.

It increased the town's (a whopping 7K population, lol) tax revenues & probably put all small biz OUT OF BIZ in the process.

5. omg

really? :rofl:

6. science

back to the stone age. Apparently she's a creationist. Ouch.

[DangerousRhythm]

7. Oh, hell no.

Creationism... it's appropriate they're at Nutter then, isn't it.

[redqueen]

10. Yeah... another Anti-Science fundie...

big change from the last 8 years.

8. She tried to reform the state patrol

by lying about trying to get rid of her ex-brother in law based on spite.

Is that reform?

[redqueen]

9. She did some housecleaning in AK, it seems...

was a whistleblower on illegal activities related to the Oil & Gas industry, no less.

I'm actually impressed with that, though that is admittedly based on only the small amount information I have read on it so far.

17. Her hubby works for them.. more like it was revenge.. like the trooper-gate scandal. n/t

[redqueen]

21. Yes... I was wondering how that squared with her being married into Big Oil. (nt)

[maximusveritas]

11. Nothing, but that's the talking point from the McCain campaign

So the media is just following its marching orders as usual.

[progressivebydesign]

12. No.. she's a vindictive woman disguised as a reformer.

The truth is, now that I know about her scandal trying to get the STate Trooper fired, the legend of her going after the people on that Ethics Commission that she quit, smacks more of her vindictive and small minded ways. She's not a reformer, she's a small town mayor who got to be gov of a small state. And she has no fucking business even spending the NIGHT in the White House as a guest!

Presidential material? Give me a fucking break?

[undeterred]

13. I remember watching a show on all the corruption in Alaskan

state government. She came in after that. She didn't clean it up, but compared to it, she's clean. However, if she is under investigation, I don't understand why she was asked to be on McCain's ticket.

[Franks Wild Years]

14. She's reformed Mitt & Huck's chances of running for President in 2012...

...better than almost anyone else could've done!

18. Apparently Alaska is tropical now?

Or will be soon, with the drilling she proposes. ;)

20. She used to part her hair on the other side. nt
