Palin Expanding Political Reach With PAC

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

Sarah Palin keeps fueling rumors that she’s seeking a White House bid come 2012. There’s been speculation since even before the election, but the Alaska governor’s recent media-bashing campaign has many saying she’s intent on hogging the national spotlight. And now Palin’s gone one step farther and founded her own PAC. She’s not stopping there, either, and will be flying to Washington this week to hobnob with powerful conservatives, reports Cindy Adams:

Traveling with one of her ladies-in-waiting and invited by a rich GOPnik, she’ll be at Saturday’s invite-only/political mandarins-only Alfalfa Club dinner in DC …  [The club] is so high-powered that sitting U.S. presidents attend, which means Obama would be show …

She’s also launching her national political action committee. Registered in Virginia, patterned after Hillary’s HillPac, Sarahpac.com is to support ideas and candidates who share the Palin vision that energy independence is this country’s future.

Next month she addresses a Washington gathering of prominent conservatives. She’s going ahead with a book. Her Facebook page has 410,000 friends. She wants to influence policy knowing the nation must turn to Alaska as its energy resource. She’s planning to be president.

The PAC’s website claims the Republican party’s "at the threshold of an historic renaissance" and they believe the best days lie ahead. We’re sure they believe those days hinge on potential president Palin.

hehehe…. despite what she says publicly, she is officially registered with the Federal Election Comittee as a Presidential Candidate for 2012. As far as I can tell, she is the ONLY one who has registered for 2012…. what, we’re not even 10 days out from inagurating THIS president and she’s already running for 2012… it’s going to be a LONG, LONG 4 years…. Don’t believe me? http://images.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/fecimg/?P20001939 Once again, Ms Palin is absolutely NOT telling the truth to the American (or at least Alaskan) people.

yeah, on Mars????????????????????????—-there may be micro organisms, yet living, sub surface—-but my experience with both same, and ‘higher-animal’ living things of Earth, including insects, arachnids, fish, ‘wild-‘higher ‘animals’ (wolves, moose, bears—-even most humans) has clearly led to my notice that ‘living-systems’, even bacteria, exhibit intelligence more or less on ‘par’ with others—- yet, in the case of humans, there appears a ‘near-unique’ state of numerous ‘mental-disorders’—-it has been known for well over a century, and recently confirmed evidence shows ‘mental-disorders’ as actual ‘physical’ states which may arise from even simple insect, spider bites. hence, i doubt even a Martian, sub-surface microbials would hardly vote for such as Palin—-lest they be as ‘disordered’ as she—-

Speaking of Alaska, check out the state website www.state.ak.us click on headlines then go toward the bottom of the January column and click (Gov says there you go again) I find it funny that Palin uses the state website to bash the unfair media.

That is a bit strange. I wonder if it is even legal for her to use the state gov’t website for her own personal messages which have nothing to do with official business? But then, she lets her husband use her official e-mail account too, so maybe anything goes in Alaska. I liked Letterman’s take on it when he said, “Face it the only reason anyone moves to Alaska is to hide out.”

re:Dave L.—-‘or sit in a shack, drunk for 2 weeks, be flown back to Anchorage, beat your wife and kids, as you’ve traded 120K/year for 2 weeks meter-watching, alone in the Arctic—-many come to escape, many for $$$—-yet its population just doesn’t rise significantly from the early 80’s—-why?

didn’t know you were a ‘cryptographer’—-pretty simple—-my residence Used to be a ‘live&let-live kinda place—-no longer—-so i’ve chosen to ‘fire’ them And move—-nice location—-but the ‘new’ mgr. is a ‘Palin-Nut’, known abusive soul, and her actually illegal ‘harassment’, as she knew i was an ‘on-line’ Obama worker has simply gone ‘too-far’ for this guy—-‘one-thing-after-another’—-no hot-water, (im not the only one on that)—-and the constant exposure to a ‘toxic-personality’ i feel is beyond endurance—-so, after 8 years? time to ‘flea’, as Woody Allen would say—- maybe back to my kids/grandkids in Cal—-or the ‘middle-of-nowhere’—-here? untenable—-plenty of family, ‘live-free’, but classic ‘honkeys’—-no thanks—-so i’ll wander a bit—-See Ya!!!!!!!!!
