Palin Recall Petition Possibility Gains Momentum

The reality of Sarah Palin's ineptness is beginning to hit home. From the day John McCain selected her to be his running mate, more than a few of us knew immediately how rash and inappropriate his move was. In a sense, beginning early on Friday, August 29th, 2008, as many Alaskans got phone calls from around the country, asking us of what we thought about Palin's elevation, Palin became a "uniter."

She has united conservative pro-corporate types like Dan Fagan or Paul Jenkins, and very liberal people like Shannyn Moore, Linda Kellen and me, for instance. We may not agree on all the particulars of Palin's lack of qualifications, but we see the same bottom line.

The Alaskans for Truth Movement, which grew out of reaction to the utter contempt for the truth displayed by the Ed O'Callaghan-Meg Stapleton "Truth Squad" farce, is re-evaluating where to bring Alaskans' concern next. This past week, along with the issuance of the Branchflower Report, has seen the most hate-filled, despicable audiences to presidential campaign rallies, in recent memory. Sarah Palin's important and extremely willing part in this development is undeniable.

Additionally, results of the efforts of hundreds of reporters, writers, videographers, film-makers and bloggers from around the world, are beginning to resonate nationally. The much more finely nuanced picture of the rise of Sarah Palin that is now emerging, is disturbing to many Americans, many Alaskans.

Sarah Palin has become the butt of more jokes around America than there are people in Alaska. New YouTubes of her ineptness, selfishness, mendacity, ignorance and strange beliefs & alliances, are posted at a rate averaging over ten per hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

1. karma karma karma karma karma karma karma

Can it be misconstrued if I merely say that I hope she gets everything she deserves?
:evilgrin:

2. Alaskans get their petro-welfare checks, regardless.

Literally a moose could get voted into office and it would still get a 70%+ approval rating.

3. We got our petro-welfare checks

when Frank Murkowski was governor, and he had the lowest approval rating of any governor in the country. Your post doesn't make sense. What does it have to do with recalling Sarah Palin?

[gatorboy]

4. Apologies.

Jealousy over the Alaskan hand-outs got the best of me. :P

10. I know. It happens to a lot of good people here at DU.

I liked Joe Biden's comment at the VP debate where he said something like such a program would be good for ALL Americans -- which is how I see it. It's just a stroke of good fortune that at the time the oil began to flow here, the state leaders had enough foresight to set up the Permanent Fund. It really is a great program, and even though the Fund took a big hit with this recent crash, it still has a value of about $30 billion.

8. I can't wait for her to be recalled.

From what I understand, the AK PFD has lost about $5 billion since Aug/Sept and the government has spent buckets of money based on oil futures. I'm beyond surprised that a fiscally conservative (:eyes:) administration would be so irresponsible but what can you say? I've come to wonder if AK will regret passing up Halcro and his statistics or Knowles and his experience for the beauty queen.

9. but----what is mcliar picks someone else more palatable????

[Blue_In_AK]

11. We won't recall her until after she loses the election

and comes back home.

[frogmarch]

12. I hope she's recalled, but not until

Obama/Biden win the election, because she could be dropped from McCain's ticket, and Palin remaining as McCain's running mate will help us win.

13. I will sign it, blue. your posts always make me happy

[yardwork]

14. 95% agree that its time to recall Governor Palin.

[spindrifter]

16. When this is all over SP will look great as a

WalMart greeter--connecting with customers.

17. I was living in Texas when Bush was Governor.

I had the same feeling when the Republics nominated him. "No, not this guy," I thought. "He's utterly incompetent. Can't the rest of the country see that?"

Of course, many of us did see it, but it didn't matter.
