new memoir from an embittered former aide to Sarah Palin includes a trove of emails that vividly illustrate her intense focus on image and depiction in the media. The emails, apparently from the former Alaska governor, portray Palin as nearly obsessed with her political adversaries and consumed with every slight, real or perceived. (See: POLITICO's 2012 Live) The still-unpublished manuscript, obtained by POLITICO, reveals Palin, as a candidate for governor, penning letters-to-the-editor in praise of herself, to be sent under other names. It blames the candidate for inflaming, rather than ignoring, scurrilous rumors. And it quotes her pledging to avoid appearing on any network other than Fox News, referring to the rest as “the bad guys.”

#29. To: Rek, eskimo (#24)
I'm sure Eskimo sends the check he gets from oil company profits in Alaska back to the state government because accepting it would be tantamount to endorsing socialism. Right?
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
Give old eskimo a break. At 75, he's been living off the government for so long he doesn't even realize he's doing it any more.
"I hate this damn job" - Sarah Palin
They probably live in a socialist hell hole and do not want to be laughed at. Their childish innuendo concerning Alaska is likely just some bizarre extension of their irrational hatred for Palin.
I've noted several times that I live in Virginia, where our Tea Party governor just gave teachers a 2% bonus. Where I don't live, however, is in a state that taxes profits of privately held companies just to distribute to other state residents on the basis that "everyone owns the national resources" You know, there's a word for that - I believe it's SOCIALISM!
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
There is a word for disinformationist too, or are you just fookin ignorant?
LOL!! I have had socialist slugs try that before. When they become frustrated with their inability to defend their madness, they jump up and shout "YOU ARE A SOCIALIST", EVERYTHING IS SOCIALISM" or some such nonsense.
LOL!! You must be really frustrated.
You mean like you do? Go back and read this thread and see who first invoked socialism. Look, the reality is that the Alaska program to take profits from oil companies and distribute them to the residents of the state is about the clearest example of socialism in all these United States.
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
Another really childish retort. You can not justify your madness by saying everything is socialism. You clearly do not know anything about the reason for the Alaska Permanent Fund and I doubt you even care to learn.
To the uninformed. You really are a liberal dumbass.
In 2008 the fund collected $6 billion in taxes from oil companies operating in Alaska, part of that was used to pay every Alaska citizen $3,200 (including a $1,200 "bonus" implemented by then Gov. Palin). The basis for the Alaska Permanent Fund is that the government argues that Alaska's resources are collectively owned by all citizens of the state, who are thus entitled to share in the profits generated by the use of those resources. Again, that's the clearest example of socialism in all these United States. Do you seriously want to continue this line of argument?
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
LOL!! You have no arguement. You are clearly delusional. Socialist slugs are insane because they can not discern the diffference between having government mercenaries extort wealth from individuals by force of arms for redistribution and any other normal business contract. The "nanny needers" are so disgustingly greedy they openly call for the armed robery of others to satiate that greed.

OR maybe you could explain to us lower 48ers why you guys up there were so eager to foist Palin off on the rest of us?

You can rant and rave all you want, but taking money from oil companies and giving it to those who had nothing to do with oil production because you claim that Alaska's oil is a "shared resource" is the very definition of socialism. You can't bring yourself to admit that you support socialism since YOU directly benefit from it, can you?
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
LOL!! You keep childishly repeating the same stupid lie when you know damned well that no company had a gun to their head when they purchased leases in Alaska and by contract the people of Alaska are compensated for not being able to retain subsurface mineral rights on their land. Hell, if socialist slugs are insane enough to build a political construct whose very foundation is the extortion of individual wealth by armed thugs for redistribution, I can understand why they, in their delusional state of mind, would want to redefine "socialism" in a desperate attempt to mitigate some of their shame.
LOL!! Your paranoia borders on the psychotic. What, in hell, has you so scared stupid about this woman? The only time I hear anything about her is when some liberal/socialist political stooge attacks her for trivial nonsense like building a fence. Stop trying to pi$$ her off and maybe she will stop pointing out how stupid you are for doing so.
Your talking points aside, no one's 'skeered' of her except evidently those of you who wanted her out of your government by any means possible. Why should I care to not piss off a perennial politician wannabe/public figure? She's fair game. Pubbies need to stop worshipping their politicians, it's downright unhealthy.
"http://first-draft-blog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5ced53ef0148c7a28c4b970c-320wi"
I don't have subsurface mineral rights to my land either. I think I'll demand that the Feds give me a yearly stipend. How about you giving up yours for a year and giving it to me.Or just a part of it. That way you can yell commie and actually be accurate.

By what logic does a guy working at walmart in Anchorage deserve a check for $3,200 for oil company activities on the north slope?

How often does that happen? Why hasn't every body moved to Alaska? Geez, a family of 5 could haul in $16,000/year plus welfare. I believe you are a blowhard.
LOL!! Who, in hell, are you to decide who deserves what? Answer: That socialist slug with delusions of godhood who wants to steal from some at gun point and give it to those who will pay him homage. Socialist slugs are mentally ill.
LOL!! Not my fault you did not get a better contract.
You are either a fookin moron or a leftist shill and disinformationist. Which is it?
Hey asshole, how long before TrueBlueFreedom gives your worthless ass the boot? Do you ever look in the mirror and realize what a asswipe you are?
KMA you delusional moron.
Your impassioned defense of socialism is touching.

Fartsky is the poster boy for this site's bozo filter (well, he and Mad Dog).

What country are you from? The RR's and various mining, timber, ranching and farming corporations gobbled up much of the mineral rights in the US years ago. You do know that coal and energy companies own most of Pennsylvania subsurface rights and there is no way they are relinquishing them with the various sales of surface ownership rights without a separate and often much more expensive transaction. Welcome to the 21st century where the surface of your land can be completely obliterated by another owner digging for whatever.

Why don't you move?
You don't have him on bozo?
You are a bozo, assclown. The truth hurts, that's why you hide, little pussy.
Dunno if you know beyondthesea, aka Otis The Drunk, over at LP, aka The Cuckoo's Nest, but a couple of years ago he tried to get away with claiming that he and his brothers were buying up natural gas leases all over Western PA. Being from that area myself and being an occasional dabbler in land speculation, I knew immediately that he was lying. There's probably not one square inch of the ENTIRE state of PA in which a parcel doesn't have defaulted mineral rights.
As are any socialist slugs attacking our republic.
Your spiteful child retorts are tiresome.
As long as she's in the public arena she's fair game and you are still free to worship her. Too bad she's didn't think local and cleanout the socialist dump that's called Alaska first.

There's probably not one square inch of the ENTIRE state of PA in which a parcel doesn't have defaulted mineral rights. Maybe he got the Koch brothers to give him a big, big loan. They would be interested if they don't already own most of the rights. I'm hoping they are buying up Alaskan leases and mineral rights as I post.

The reality is that you can't defend the socialist system in Alaska, so you keep attacking me. Do you even know what socialism is?

Careful, we don't need that drunken oaf over here.
Like I said, it's not my fault. Go find a better place instead of ridiculing others just because they got a better deal than you did.
You were the one initially complaining about gold thieves. Did someone jump your claim?
