Update: The Criminal Corruption and Animal Cruelty of Gov. Sarah Palin ARC 2008-09-04 10:44 PM

Perhaps after you read this file, you will feel as my friends and I feel, that Sarah Palin was fasttracked from a mayor's job in a 4600 resident town to the governor's chair, coached in everything she said or did, and prepared to be a neocon candidate on the national stage...all in 2 years time. Vote fraud could have defeated her Democratic opponent. All of this occurred as the neocon dominated FBI was investigating Senator Stevens. Certainly Murkowski defeated governor and Stevens had corrupt offices, but the orchestration of the chorus for Palin by oil prostitutes Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and others was it seems planned. "That most dangerous of all classes: the wealthy criminal class" wrote President Theodore Roosevelt of plutocrats and their pawns. (image/jpeg + 14 comments)
