I know you are always looking for more hard facts to help you decide so here my dear just for you -
Sarah Palin may lie, but numbers don't. Her record speaks for itself:
2007: the year in which Sarah Palin first obtained a passport (Source)
312: the number of nights during her first 19 months in office that Palin charged taxpayers a "per diem" totaling $16,951 forstaying in her own home -- an allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business (Source)
$500 to $1,200: the fee that Wasilla charged rape victims to pay for post-sexual assault medical exams, after the city cut funds during Palin's tenure that had previously covered the exams (Source)
$150: the cash payment offered by the Palin administration to hunters who turn in legs of freshly killed wolves gunned down from airplanes (Source)
3: the number of times during her first few weeks as mayor that Palin inquired with the Wasilla librarian about banning books (Source)
3: the number of months after the censorship discussion that Palin fired the librarian (Source)
100: the approximate number of Wasilla residents who rallied to support the librarian, prompting Palin to withdraw her termination letter (Source)
0: the number of foreign heads of state Palin has met (Source)
0: the number of commands Palin has issued as head of the Alaska National Guard (Source)
2: the number of times in Palin's ABC News interview that she said the word "nucular" (Source)
0: Wasilla's long-term debt when Palin took office in 1996 (Source)
$18.6 million: the long-term debt Palin racked up by the time she left office in 2002, amounting to about $3,000 per resident (Source)
$50,000: the amount of city funds Palin used without authorization to redecorate the Wasilla mayor's office, including adding flocked, red wallpaper that made it look "like a bordello," according to a former Wasilla City Council member (Source)
33: the percentage by which Palin increased the budget of Wasilla during her tenure, despite billing herself as a fiscal conservative and champion of smaller government (Source)
25: the percentage by which Palin raised the local sales tax in Wasilla to pay for a sports center, despite claims that she cut taxes (Source)
$27 million: the total amount of federal earmarks Palin secured for Wasilla's town of 6,700 people while she was mayor, thanks to the help of a Washington lobbyist with ties to indicted Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) and convicted felon Jack Abramoff (Source)
3: the number of times John McCain specifically criticized earmarks requested by Sarah Palin when she was mayor of Wasilla, citing them as examples of wasteful spending (Source)
$453 million: the total amount of earmarks Palin has asked U.S. taxpayers to fund for Alaska projects over the past two years, despite McCain's insistence that she hasn't sought earmarks or special-interest spending from Congress (Source)
$506.34: the amount of federal earmarks Alaska residents will receive per capita in 2008, the highest level of any state (Source)
$223 million: the earmark secured for the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere" that Palin initially supported (Source)
as I say often... she's on my list. what ANGERS me most is her claiming to be my "friend" in the white house. What I want to know, Ms. Palin is:
How are you going to help my child? How are you going to help kids with disabilities? No really, tell me the specifics because I haven't heard you say one single word about that outside of "being my friend."
I am anxious to see if she touches on this subject tonight. I can almost assure you she won't.
And if asked, she will probably get the deer in headlights, or should I say Palin in front of Couric, look.
by the way.. for the record.. this post had nothing to do with politics. It originally was just to sign up to see the blog.
Jess had something on her mind though... :)
