February 3, 2009, Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin again today expressed her serious concerns with President Obama’s proposed stimulus package. In a joint letter sent to Alaska’s congressional delegation, Governor Palin, House Speaker Mike Chenault and Senate President Gary Stevens cautioned that unrestrained spending, initiation of new programs that the states may be asked to continue after the federal stimulus is gone, and the borrowing of hundreds of billions of dollars to pay for it may result in serious economic problems in the future.

Indeed they are. I've researched my family tree pretty thoroughly, and found at least eight connections to the Heath family. I believe we are sixth cousins, Sarah and I, and seventh and eighth and ninth cousins several times over.
We both come from the very earliest New England settlers. These are the people who were among the most stubborn and independent and adventuresome of all Englishmen. They came here in the early 1600's and built a shining city on a hill in New England.
Over the subsequent four centuries, the most stubborn and independent and adventuresome of their posterity struck out West to live their lives as they saw fit, bowing to God and no man, each generation escaping the moochers and flatterers and petty tyrants who followed in their train but had not the same moral fiber. My people, and Sarah's people, won this country, blazed its trails, and built it up for others less worthy.
At each generation, this winnowing process continued. From Massachusetts, to Connecticut, to New York, to Ohio, to Arizona and Idaho and Alaska, my ancestors and Sarah's turned their backs on the voluptuaries of encroaching government and unearned privilege.
Their descendants, like me, like Sarah Heath Palin, are now children of the Far West. We are the most stubborn and independent and adventuresome among many generations. We are the residue of those who first escaped from stifling, unfree Europe and made this country what it is. We are the scions and remnants of the New Jerusalem.
We've run out of frontier, and now we stand with our backs against the wall against the encroachment of Old Europe and its ant-hill ideologies. Sarah has chosen to fight, and I am right beside her. Here we stand; we can do no other.
Amen!
If she runs (I hope she does and her God fearing family probably sees it as a high moral mission) then when it comes to interviews Sarah needs to insist that she has hew own camera crew filming for "quality assurance" (as the standard canned message used when calling a customer service line) or demand a Sunday morning show format of no editing. The media will howl but I believe that come 2010 and beyond the media scene is going to be a little different as the internet spawns new "networks" that will get the interview because they will be actually practicing journalism.
Don’t worry, if they manage to finally turn on the Large Hadron Collider it might suck the next three years out of the timestream :D
They will still find an obscure AP article to make their wrong points.
Ashley is a total loon!!!
Unless? Until!
I don’t doubt her for one second. She’s the woman for the job.
LOL!!!
Hey, free advertising!!! Dems and Obambi are idiots.
“I hear those snow snakes up in Alaska don’t hibernate.”
Their thick fur keeps them warm over the winter.
Are you kidding, rin? When will bickering about presidential candidates ever end in FR? 8-o
Go Palin!
Go Huckabee!
Go Sandford!
Again, despite the efforts of the MSM, the DNC, and the RINOs Sarah articulates clear, conservative messages on critical issues of the day. In doing so, she comes out all the better, more respected, and well positioned to help us take back our country as a result.
Onward to the beachhead in 2010 and victory in 2012!
Key word...attempt. Doesn't make them successful, because of your last statement "and we cannot allow them to get away with it."
Why? Can’t you argue with them?
Liberals, trolls, and intellectual nitwits need to be purged - not conservatives who have a different POV (probably doesn’t include the Rooty Raiders but others might disagree).
Yay!
McCain’za joke.
If we keep fishin from the same ol pond, were gonna keep catchin the same ol big mouth bass.
A conservative like Palin would garner my support as long as she did not begin bending to the powers in Washington.
We need strong, true “CONSERVATIVE” leaders, not compassionate conservatives, rhino's or moderates.
How soon til the press catches on that covering her Obama oppostion elevates her image to doubters?
Palin/Sanford 2012. The conservative dream ticket.
