ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Gov. Sarah Palin says she would not accept a raise recommended by the State Officers Compensation Commission. Palin spokesman Bill McAllister said Wednesday that if the Legislature submits legislation for a raise, Palin will not accept the money. Instead, if the raise is approved, she will subtract the difference from her current salary and donate it to charity or find a way to redirect the funds for the benefit of others, McAllister said.

Yep. If there is no way to report it negative they will say nothing at all.

The MSM, if they report it, will spin it as an attention getting scheme or some kind of scam, nothing more. But, I won’t hold my breath about them reporting it at all.

Yeah they will call her a moron for not taking the money and buying a boat. They will say “Hey look at this idiot, not accepting the money, how could she not accept the money, we would have, what a dummy”

Ronny was called “Brain dead” “Old geezer” every name in the book so I take solace in knowing that Sarah is now in the same company with Ronny. Nancy Reagan adores Sarah, she was thrilled when Sarah made some Ronny quotes during her VP debate, Nancy knows the deal, Michael Reagan knows the deal, Sarah is the REAL deal, Libs hated Reagan, I can’t wait for Sarah to run, show me anyone, ANYONE who works their ass off, is offered a pay raise and says “Nah, I don’t need it, give it to the people in my state, they need the money more then I do” WOW, just WOW, she has the grace of a Princess Diana, Diana was mocked by the press too

Don’t you just love the stark contrast of Sarah Palin and NY Gov. Patterson????? I wish we had 10 more Sarah’s to go around. Thank you, Father-God, for the gift of Sarah Palin. She’s a bright light in the political darkness we find ourselves in. God is going to use her in a BIG way. What a witness to a nation that has lost it’s way.

Shine, Sarah, shine. Maybe this country will find it’s way back home again!!!!

I doubt. Maybe a couple people on Fox and I could see Beck or Rush talking about it.

I'm not even convinced the Anchorage Daily News will accurately report this.

God has plans for her, I totally believe that. God’s plan is bigger then just being Vice President, McCain wouldn’t have allowed her to do anything anyway if he had won. Just look at his attitude towards her, he would have locked her away somewhere and not allowed her to do a damn thing. You just watch, when its HER campaign, HER style, with a REAL Conservative by her side, we are gonna win again, all Sarah has to do is sit back and watch Obama destroy this country and make money worthless, she will run and will WIN. She is CHANGE we will be BEGGING for in a few years

With a person like Sarah even a story like this won’t shut people up. Even here sadly. I expect at least a couple of the haters that buzz around all of the threads about her to come in and chirp about some nonsense that is totally irrelevant to this story.

It always makes me wonder about people’s motives.

If she can add some economic conservatism to her social conservative talking points in 4 years, she can’t be beat.
