Ramras & BP Stock: Much ado about ignorance

July 1, 2009: The recent accusations of conflict of interest against Rep. Jay Ramras (R-Fairbanks) by a rabid Palin supporter and host of a pro Palin website deserves...ney, demands a closer look.

According to a blog posting on a pro-Palin website called Conservatives4Palin and subsequently picked up by both KTUU and the Daily News, the editor of the website Rebecca Mansour from Los Angeles blogs, "though Ramras voted in favor of AGIA, he seems keen on praising the rival pipeline. Why would he be undermining AGIA? Is it an honest difference of opinion?"

The she goes on to answer her own questions by asserting that because Ramras bought BP stock, he will somehow profit from the failure of AGIA.

Ms. Palin and her husband kept the pregnancy secret for seven months and did not even tell family members that prenatal tests indicated that the child had Down syndrome.

"It Came from Wasilla"

Vanity Fair By Todd S. Purdum August 2009

The article is pretty critical of Palin but the author, Todd S. Purdum, misses a few important pieces. ( emphasis from Immoral Minority ) by Gryphen
Here are a few notable excerpts from the article:
excerpts of family excerpts!
Her crazy Wassilabilly family:
The clouds of tabloid conflict and controversy that swirl around her and her extended clan—the surprise pregnancies, the two-bit blood feuds, the tawdry in-laws and common-law kin caught selling drugs or poaching game—give her family a singular status in the rogues’ gallery of political relatives. By comparison, Billy Carter, Donald Nixon, and Roger Clinton seem like avatars of circumspection. Palin’s life has sometimes played out like an unholy amalgam of Desperate Housewives and Northern Exposure.
Author does manage to reveal just how ridiculous, and bizarre, Sarah Palin's official pregnancy cover story is at least:
But there were ominous signs—indications of an erratic nature. This is the third thing McCain could have discovered about Palin—a woman, after all, who kept a pregnancy secret for seven months, flew all the way home from Texas to Alaska with a near-full-term baby while leaking amniotic fluid, and then finally drove the 45 minutes from Anchorage to a hospital in Wasilla, all so that the child could be born in the 49th state.
Aahh the truthfulness of young Levi Johnston!:
After Levi told Tyra Banks that he had often spent the night in the Palin home, in the same room as Bristol, and assumed that the governor knew they were having sex, Palin, through her spokeswoman, released a blistering statement expressing disappointment “that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship.” On the CBS Early Show, days later, Johnston seemed resigned. “They said I didn’t live there. I ‘stayed there,”’ he said. “I was like, O.K., well, whatever you want to call it. I had my stuff there.”
I encourage you to read the entire article. It is very good, despite completely missing the "babygate" boat.by Gryphen

Elan Frank traveled to Alaska to interview Sarah Palin for two days early in April 2008. Less than two weeks later Sarah supposedly gave birth to Trig Paxson Van Palin. After a little belly-slapping, she talks about how easy this entire pregnancy has been, and we get a glimpse of why it might have been such a cakewalk.

Purdum is in the innermost circle of MSM Washington journalists. His wife is Dee Dee Myers, and one of his neighbors is Karl Rove. In fact, when Purdum interviewed Rove a couple years ago, the chat took place at Rove's home, and Purdum was served sausage made from a deer that Rove's son Andrew shot. Purdum did a pretty good job demonstrating SP's unfitness for office. And believe me, he doesn't want to have TriG-Gate attached to his obituary.

Levi Johnston

Whassup up with Levi? hmmm.... New York City! Is he hunting for that book deal or is Ricky Hollywood going to do Broadway?

Working for Candies and advocating abstinence-only makes Bristol a busy mama. How does she manage that family of hers? School?

The grizzly one is scaring the bejesus out of peeps around the world with her cryptic twitters. Is she feeling her end time is a coming? Rapture, 'essentially ignored by most other Christian faith groups.'
What has she said about her faith? She is a non-denominational Bible-believing Christian who is private with her take on the Charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit of Pentecostal tradition. She attends Wasilla Bible Church, in the news for an arson attack last December. It continues to be under investigation, there are no updates for any progress regarding the case. Wasilla is a small town with several unresolved arson cases.

Archive for September 13th, 2008 Is Palin’s visit to Iraq another McCain campaign lie?

Sarah Palin in Iraq? Kuwait? O.K. – Alaska…

Aides to Gov. Sarah Palin are scrambling to explain details of her only trip outside North America — which, according to a new report, did not include Iraq, as the McCain-Palin campaign had initially claimed.

Palin made an official visit to see Alaskan troops in Kuwait in July of 2007. There, she made a stop at a border crossing with Iraq, but did not actually visit the country, according to a new report in the Boston Globe.

Earlier, McCain aides had said that Palin visited Iraq, and expressed indignation at questions about her slim foreign travel.

The campaign also said she had been to Ireland; that turned out to have been a refueling stop.

Of course, the average Bush supporter – which now means McCain supporter – doesn’t get their undies bunched over what goes on in furrin countries.

Mark Sanford has a few things to learn from Sarah Palin

Before Governor Mark Sanford's unannounced "hike" there was Governor Sarah Palins secretive trip to Texas. Who knew she was to detour? Palin is known for the "Where is Sarah?" mantra, so there is not as much alarm while she cloisters herself away from the world. I hope this is not a new trick for politicians who like to play with their roles as a public servant, anyone in South Carolina or Alaska remember when it counted to serve the people?

Texas Secrets

Meg Stapelton put together a well planned political whirlwind extravaganza to New York for Governor Sarah Palin. We thought she'd return to her home state. But suddenly there was a change and gov Palin was in a media blitz from Central Texas. Central, Texas? Central Texas? Central Texas? Central Texas? Central Texas? Central Texas? Central Texas?

Palin speaks from Central Texas: "What a commentary there ... "

Who all does she know in Texas with a ranch? Governor Perry? Exxon? Or one of the paymasters like James Leininger? The rumor was she was to go to a Six Flags Over Texas, that didn't pan out. There was also the one that she was staying with a sister who owned a ranch, is that even remotely plausible? ( She and her staff are so Mark Sanford! ) A jeweler in Austin jumped on the get Letterman bandwagon, would he be in the ranch mix?

Texas brings back the memories of all of queenie's strangeness and secret birth certificates.

Texas is the state that hubby couldn't allow to birth his son, Trig. Too many adequate medical facilities for a down syndrome baby and a 44 year old birther? Anyhow, what kind of an excuse is the "fish picker" bull?

Did she return to the scene of a cover up? Definitely, more secrets. Rare photo of Sarah Palin at Republican Governors Association conference in Grapevine, Texas in April 2008. Hours or days before her famous "wild ride" and Trig's given birth date of April 17, 2008.

Creamery Case, Kristan Cole and Sarah Palin

Creamery Case Has Palin Critics Taking Aim at Fiscal-Conservative Claim
Redux: Wall Street Journal SEPTEMBER 16, 2008

EXCERPTS:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin promotes herself as a small-government conservative. But when Alaska government officials wanted to shut down a money-losing creamery, the governor overturned the decision after dairy farmers near her hometown complained the loss of subsidies would cripple them.

On June 16, 2007, Gov. (hottest governor) Palin attended a rally by dairy farmers near her hometown of Wasilla who pleaded that the creamery stay open to help them and other members of the local dairy industry. "Things are kind of a mess right now with what's happening with Mat-Maid, and we're going to clean it up," the governor said at the event.
She then sacked the creamery board and replaced it. The new board, headed by one of her childhood (famous Palin cronies) friends, ordered the creamery kept open. Six months later -- after the business racked up more than $800,000 in additional losses, according to state officials -- the new board ordered it closed again.




Matanuska Maid has had a checkered financial history. Formed by a farmers' cooperative in 1936, the creamery was taken over by the state in 1984 after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following a legal dispute. One of the employees, Joseph Van Treeck, was named chief executive in 1985 and went on to run a mostly profitable business for the next two decades.

After the state board ordered the creamery closed, Gov. Palin -- with an entourage that included her husband, Todd; daughter Piper; and representatives of the news media -- showed up at Matanuska Maid's two-story plant and requested a tour. Although the governor's office said at the time that the visit had been scheduled, plant officials said they got little advance notice. Workers told her she would have to be accompanied by Mr. Van Treeck, who was in a Creamery Board meeting at an Anchorage hotel about two miles away. After he declined to leave the meeting, board member Rhonda Boyles says she, Ms. Boyles, warned him, "Joe, this will be on the 10 o'clock news."

(Kristan Cole, Trustee of the Alaskan Trust. Cole's success is catching on, Bristol Palin has real estate
agent dreams since graduating from WHS. In Bristol's spare time she is fund raising and advocating for teens to trust her and not have sex )

Within days, the governor replaced the entire Board of Agriculture and Conservation, which oversees the Creamery Board. The new agriculture board then appointed itself as the Creamery Board and named Kristan Cole -- a grade-school classmate of Gov. Palin -- as the chairman. The new board reversed the closure and removed Mr. Van Treeck as CEO. He filed a suit in Alaska Superior Court charging he didn't get what he was owed. The case is still pending.

Ms. Cole declined to comment on the suit. She blamed mismanagement by the past regime for

Ms. Cole said the extra time allowed the farmers to find new buyers, including a private creamery that recently opened near Wasilla with a federal grant. Meanwhile, the state has raised $2.9 million from the sale of property, equipment and inventory and is seeking to sell another parcel appraised at $1.3 million. "At the end of the day, farmers are still working, and that's a positive thing," Ms. Cole says.

*The Valley Dairy: Got Fraud?

Early in 2002, B.C. broker Cheryl King shocked the local real estate community and the 35 sales reps at her Re/Max Assist Realty office in Kamloops when she disappeared, along with trust fund money and real estate commissions.

She faced charges of fraud, breach of trust and forgery, but it took until last month before the issue was resolved. King, now known as Cheryl Moseley, pleaded guilty to one charge of illegally accessing trust funds on June 21, reports The Daily News in Kamloops.
