9. Wanna know the sad part?

That nice little town is $20 MILLION in debt because of her profligate spending.. Those people are probably in the lower 5th of income in the US, and they live in one of the most expensive states, and she has saddled them with a shitload of debt....but hey... she got FAMOUS..and that's what beauty-queens crave the most..being famous..

Probably most of them are complicit in the whole baby thing, but that;s the way small towns are..and they are probably mostly republicans..but they are also probably those "low information" voters everyone seems to think, decide our elections..

This Nov we must OVERWHELM the polling places with MILLIONS of HIGH-information voters, or will continue to suffer from idiots like Mrs Moose & Geroge w Bush..

It's just that simple

12. I Seriously Want To Know Where The 20 Mill Went

The town sure doesn't look like we made a wise investment.

[depakid]

15. Much of it was due to her botching a property acquisition

Sarah Palin's Bush-Like Budget Busting: Fumbled Deal on Sports Complex, Town of 7,000 Forced to Raise Taxes, Cut Services

Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002. Her record during that time can tell us a lot about her. The biggest deal during her tenure is perhaps the construction of the sports complex that was built on someone else's land. She had to raise sales taxes to pay for it. The whole episode of incompetence, arrogance, and lack of respect for the law is exactly the style of governance that we've seen from Bush and co in the past seven years.

16. You've Got To Be Kidding Me

The entire town looks like chit and she overspends 15 mill on one building?

[depakid]

17. And screws up a straightforward acquisition that ANY city manager

in thousands of towns across America could (and does) handle as a matter of course.

18. That Would Have Saved Millions

Now I see why she is qualified to be a Repuke pick. She's another failure in line with Dumbya.

14. Yup. Yup.
