Reply #27: She had everyone here bamboozled for the first two years, [View All]

but she was popular for a completely different reason than she's popular down there with the mouth-breathers. Here she seemed to be getting things done, she worked well with the legislature, and she certainly wasn't this raving lunatic partisan that we've seen over the past three months. I never would have voted for her, but I thought she was okay. Compared to Frank Murkowski, she seemed pretty great.

Now we just feel like we've been used as a stepping stone, like none of that was real at all but just a way for her to "progress" her ambitions and her crazy right-wing agenda -- which hadn't surfaced during her time as governor. Apparently the people in Wasilla knew, but they weren't talking.

It's obvious now that she was making national connections during the two years of her governorship or she never would have been chosen by McCain, but we sure didn't know anything about that. We were completely surprised when she was picked -- and then as the stories started coming out it was just shocking. We felt so duped and lied to.

Many of us here are very, very angry. I just hope the legislature finds the courage to investigate. That's always the first step, but I'd really like to see her gone. She's been such a disappointment.
