OBAMA'S MYTHBUSTERS

NOTE: This article was originally published on a different site. Both the article and the writer have been removed from that site involuntarily. I do, however, understand the reasons for it, and I expected it.

I think it is important for the writing to be read; therefore, I am posting it here.



Ethics charges numbers 18 and 19 have now been filed against Governor Sarah Palin; the first two to be filed after her resignation announcement. Still, the media is wondering why! That fact astounds me. When will they “get it”? At the rate of two new filings per week, they still have time for seven more before her resignation becomes effective.

Zane Henning filed his second charge against Governor Palin on July 6 alleging that Governor Palin violates the state’s ethics law by collecting a per diem when she stays in her Wasilla home instead of the Governor's Mansion in Juneau. This is a matter that has already been questioned by others and answered by Governor Palin by once again doing something that wasn’t required of her by repaying a large portion of the per diem allowed to her by Alaska law.

July 10 was the filing date for Ray Ward. He charges that Governor Palin has been paid for radio and television interviews dating back to just after she lost her vice-presidential bid. This has already been denounced by Governor Palin’s defense attorney, Thomas Van Flein.

The question remains, “Where are all these charges coming from, and why are the only ethics charges being filed against just one politician, Governor Sarah Palin?”

All 19 of these filings (only three of which were made prior to August 29, 2008, when Governor Palin became the Republican Vice Presidential Candidate) have been the direct result of manipulation from the Democratic National Party and Barack Obama. The reason seems very clear: the Democrats are frightened to death of the power this woman wields with the people of America.

From February 7, 2007 - December 19, 2007, the Democratic National Party (DNC) provided for the use of the Alaska Democrat Party (ADP) $49,784.00. Even though 2008 was a Presidential election year, I can't justify the $2,443,633.00 the DNC gave to the ADP from January 3, 2008 - December 23, 2008. The picture, however, becomes crystal clear when, covering the period from August 29, 2008 - November30, 2008, almost one-half of the total amount for the year, $1,075,252.00, was sent to Alaska to defend against the one candidate they saw as a real threat; Governor Sarah Palin.

During the campaign of 2008, the Democratic Party under the direction of their candidate, Barack Obama, created an organization of Alaskans to investigate, attack and demean the opposition candidate that they deemed the most likely to create problems for them: Governor Sarah Palin, Republican Vice Presidential candidate. Mr. Obama called this organization Alaska Mythbusters. With over $1,000,000 at their disposal, the task would be an easy one.

Leading the way were former Governor Tony Knowles and Ketchikan Mayor Bob Weinstein. They planned to “bust the myths” about the Governor’s claims of opposing wasteful spending by claiming such things as the recent resurging argument that she was being investigated by the FBI for her activities involving the building of a sports complex in Wasilla, Governor Palin’s hometown. The FBI immediately made a statement that this rumor is not and has never been true. This statement said that Governor Palin “is not now and has never been under investigation.”

The announcement of the Mythbusters came on September 10, 2008 from CBS News’ Maria Gavrilovic. She reported that Knowles and Weinstein would be hosting a conference call with reporters to discuss Palin’s record.

A transcript of that conference call appeared on the website of one of the Governor’s most prolific detractors, Linda Kellen Biegel.

Among the items discussed were Troopergate, The Bridge to Nowhere, and other earmarks. It was obvious to the supporters of Governor Palin that this was to be a major “smear tactic” used throughout the Presidential Campaign, yet the one thing that went without response was the question about why Obama, the Presidential candidate, and the Democrats were targeting Governor Palin, the VICE Presidential candidate.

As mentioned earlier, it was clearly because they felt that Governor Palin was the only candidate who could provide a legitimate threat to their own campaign. They surely recognized immediately that she wasn’t “politics as usual” and had no intention whatsoever of “playing that game.”

Obama and the Democrats have not attempted to stop the Mythbusters. Through them, willing Alaskans have been used to carry out their goals – to investigate, attack and demean the one politician in the United States who can destroy their goal of turning our Democracy into a totally Socialistic State.
