I have the ultimate pr/idea for Sarah to start making a difference in people's daily lives....a definite action plan, and this would get major attention! For an innovative, fresh idea, who can I get this to?

There is a considerable gap between the image Sarah Palin tries to project and the Reality that underlies it. In sometimes startling fashion, her DEEDS often BELIE HER WORDS. And as I learned on a recent visit to Alaska, nowhere is this more evident than in the story of the still-Chimerical Gas Pipeline.

There are certain basic facts about Alaska: It’s big, it’s Beautiful, it’s far away, the winters are Cold and Dark, and it far Exceeds the National Average in such Categories as Suicides, Alcoholism, Wife Beatings, Child Abuse, School Dropouts, and Percentage of the Population likely to be found Bearing one or More Loaded Firearms at Any Given Hour of the Day !!!

But the most important fact about Alaska—the one that has done more to determine its destiny than all the others—is that underneath it lies a ...

Whole Hell Of a Lot of OIL !!

-------------------------------------------------

The first thing I learned about the pipeline was that the reason nobody had built it in 30 years was that nobody could have made any money by doing so. Here’s how it works: You decide to build a pipeline to carry gas from Point A to Point B, and you spend a couple of years scoping out a route and putting together a cost estimate.

Whoever has gas to commit in advance to shipping it through your pipeline for, let’s say, 25 years. Once you’ve signed up your shippers, you go to a bank, and the bank loans you the money you need to build the pipeline. Once you have your financing, you go to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Washington and ask for a permit. They check your shipping commitments, your financing, and about a zillion other things, and if they like the way things look, they issue the permit. Then you build the line, and the gas starts to flow and keeps flowing for 25 years or more, and everybody makes a ton of money.

But with natural gas selling for less than $2 per million British thermal units, or MMBtu—which it had been for about 50 years—there was no way to make money building a $40 billion pipeline to carry it all the way from the North Slope of the Brooks Range in Alaska to Chicago, or Green Bay, Wisconsin, or Burnt Chitlin, Louisiana. Only in the past 10 years did the price climb above $3 per MMBtu, the lowest possible number at which an Alaskan pipeline might be feasible, according to experts in the natural-gas sector. (After spiking to more than $12 last summer, by February gas was down to about $4.75.)

Big Note: In Alaska, another factor came into play. The gas was controlled by the same three companies—[[Exxon Mobil, BP, and Conoco-Phillips]]—that were producing the Oil at Prudhoe Bay.

By injecting it into their oil wells to increase pressure, they’d been using the gas to up the production of oil, a far more valuabl

How much the country needs her, the Joan of Arc of Alaska. She needs to know that millions down here in the lower 48 & Hawaia love her & want her to come down here & have the corruption cleaned out of Washington, DC as she did in Alaska. But she will need a lot of help from millions of ordinary Americans who will support her and vote for her in spite of all the hate and slim manufactured by the media who hate her and all the rest of the good people in America. Start Coffee clubs that buy, use & promote Sarahcuda coffee and buy and display "Sarah 2012" bumper stickers & buttons. Start NOW, to think Sarah is my Candidate for the Presidency of the USA, The First Republican WOMAN President of the USA. Also organize Prayer meetings to pray this will happen; that God will give her help & care & protection. We must not let the Media or Liberal skunks in the National Republican Party choose our Candidates. We know who we want & we need to find her enough votes & money to make it happen! Sarah, we all love you and your beautiful Family from the least of them to the greatest! God bless you and God bless America. Keep up your good work! Continue to be the best Governor Alaska has ever had.

well GODLY sarah should become a preacher - no room for preaching in government - all she did was preach or call names - zero substance - limbaugh is a provocative entertainer - he could headline in las vegas - i think he is either taking too much or too little oxycontin - braindead for years - truth has nothing to do with either of these folks - pete

40,.000,000 contract - i guess he will be paying the taxes i would have paid - thanks rush [interesting name for a drug addict/dealer]

Let's develop MORE targets for the left to shoot at...

Palin would have been a great addition, but let's see other women, men, develop into more known media voices...

As it is, maybe some reporter will find some silly minor statement (taken out of context if necessary) to blast over the media and blogs---and miss the key issues of this convention...

Sarah Palin, is the real deal...biblically, she is a "goodly woman". She wss not preped for the vile, hate mongers to whom she was subjected; but, the vicious lies and unrelenting slim machines couldn't pull her down. Palin kept her dignity, poise and faith throughout the campaign and flew back to her beloved Alaska as a American Treasure.

However, he does have the most cogent and refreshing answers available anywhere on Talk-radio. Rush has over 25-million daily listeners & a $40-million contract ... he's plenty smart enough to know when to talk the talk ...as for George Bush, what better thing could he have done for the 7-years post 9/11 than to keep our country safe?

Palin's job as Governor is closer to being a President than a Senator's job is. Palin has earned EXECUTIVE experience. She is running a state. Obama has LEGISLATIVE experience. He passes laws.

The President's job is an EXECUTIVE one. A Governor is pretty much the same thing as a president (except for a state, not a nation). While a Senator's job is practically the same as a State Legislator's (again on a larger scale).

In addition, Alaska is a border state to two countries (Canada and Russia). As a Governor, Palin has made Fish and Game deals with Russia and Canada giving her foreign policy experience.

For that reason I believe Palin has more experience than Obama.

In additon: She has visited Iraq as many times as Obama has. And she is running the Alaskan National Guard.
