Donuel, you say a number of unsubstantiated things.

You say: "Palin used to be against drilling in Anwr
now she is for it."

I have never heard of a time that she was not FOR it.

You say: "She first opposed the oil pipeline now she is for it."

You've got it all wrong. The "oil pipeline"? She was not in politics yet at the time of the oil pipeline; she was in her teens at the time.

I expect you are thinking of the natural gas pipeline? And even then, you are wrong. She has not ever been against it, only against the terms that the previous governor had acceded to and with the projected route. It appears that it will take place in the direction and on the terms that she held out for, since she signed AGIA this week.

You say: "Sometimes you don't have to pay a person money to corrupt them sometimes it is done with an offer of power."

True. But first you have to make the case.

You say: "She filmed a Murcdoch dicumentary called In Search of Black GOld last month and will air Sept 34th"

I looked for this documentary and didn't find it. Is it perhaps because the date is wrong?

You say: "In the coming days she will be all about drilling. She will be all about abortions"

She has ALWAYS been about drilling. So far as I know, she has ALWAYS been abortions.

You say: "Ebbie I am sure she is a fine woman and you would not not like to hear anything contrary."

I don't know if she is a fine woman; my only concern is to avoid uninformed but adamant attacks.

You say: "President Palin can release nuclear missles in 15 minutes.
But she calls them nuckular."

Even Jimmy Carter said 'nukular'; it appears that we are not going to break people of the habit.

As for President Palin, I hope it never happens. A mutual friend tells me that Palin's mother is right wing and that Palin is much worse.

As for the "ethics scandal" that has been bruited about, the only potential scandal involving Palin that I know about is the possibility that she gave the OK to staff and/or friends regarding harrassing phone calls on behalf of her sister when her sister's soon to be ex was not fired from his job in a timely manner.

The jury, so to speak, is still out on that. It is being investigated. I have no idea of the facts of the matter.
