How did Palin get 27 Million dollars in earmark/lobbyist money for a community of 8000?

Question

How do you get that kind of money for a town of 8000?

I have never heard of that much for one town.

Answer 1

she asked her good & corrupt friend ted stevens...   his endorsement was on her website right up until mccain named her vp.  then poof.

also, she was for the bridge to no where before she was against it, what changed her mind?  the united states govt wouldn't completely fund the project so she said 's***w it'.

this goes against her anti-pork stand.  she squeals real good.

Answer 2

The paid $140,000 to their own lobbyist to rake in the Washington dollars.

Answer 3

So basically, she did a great job as mayor. Wish she was my mayor. Our city gives more to the federal government than it gets in return. In fact my entire state gives more than it gets in return. I wish she'd been our governor!

As mayor of Wasilla, she was sworn to fight for her town and obviously kicked a$$!

As governor of Alaska, she was sworn to fight for her state and kicked more a$$, booting out sleazy politicians and balancing the budget, and that's just the first year!

What do you think she'll do when she settles into the VP spot?

Go Sarah!

Answer 4

Oil companies?

Answer 5

I have never quoted the Simpsons Movie, but when they arrive in Alaska they are handed $1000 and told here in Alaska we pay our citizens to allow the oil companies to ravage our natural beauty.  The most crooked state in the USA.

Answer 6

If she could do that for a small community think about what she can do for the entire U.S.A.

Answer 7

Hoffman Silver Gilman & Blasco have got game.

Answer 8

I don't know but that's impressive

Answer 9

i don't think a lot of people understand, Palin is not a woman, she is a combined group of republican business interests.  mcShame is not the first to utilize ths "product."  she has been in the pocket of this group for several years now.  they got themselves a pinup girl that (they thought) was attractive, and the rest is history.  they eventually made her governor of a very important state, Alaska.  there are only 800,000 people in Alaska (all the easier to control), but Alaska is home to vast oil reserves.
