Alaskan Bush Pilot's Personal Opinion Governor Sarah Palin-Truth!
Summary of the eRumor: The
personal comments of a life time Alaskan
bush pilot named Butch King who is extremely proud of Governor Sarah Palin, calling her a "straight
shooting, hard charging, get it done gal.".
The Truth: Butch King is the owner of the Wildman Lake
Lodge on the Alaskan peninsula. His website confirms that
this email was written by him to a number of family members, friends and
clients. King did not intend for the email to get global
recognition but has posted the email on his site granting permission to
anyone wishing to forward it to others.
A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
Fishing is good here at Wildman and I rarely have time
for politics, but many of our friends are asking us “Who is Sarah Palin?”
Of course, as Alaskans, Kathy and I are extremely proud of her. We just
want to let you know that Sarah “Barracuda” Palin is a straight
shooting, hard charging, get it done gal. She knows when to listen, how
to analyze the facts and how to make a decision, then implement the
plan. She doesn’t do a poll before jumping in with both feet like too
many of the Washington types. She has little legislative experience
because she has always held the EXECUTIVE position; in private life, as
mayor of Anchorage’s largest bedroom community or more recently as
Governor of our State. She is a smart, attractive home grown Alaska girl
with excellent moral and family values. She can see what needs to be
done and does not hesitate to get it done.
One of our State’s major problems is that its Capital is in Juneau, 500
miles from the nearest road and 800 air miles from the population base
which is Anchorage, Wasilla and Fairbanks. Our legislature and most of
the State government is in Juneau and they ALL behave like a bunch of
freshmen in a college town. It has been this way since Statehood in
1959. When Sarah moved to Juneau, so did accountability and
responsibility When the oil revenue started flowing and a barrel of
North Slope Crude hit $23.00, these people began spending money like
drunken sailors. You can only imagine what was happening when oil hit
$100.00 a barrel, about the time Sarah took command. My wife Kathy has
first-hand experience with this fiasco, as her father and also her
ex-husband were Alaska Legislators who served in Juneau as Senators,
Senate President, or members of the State House for a combined period
spanning nearly three decades.
About the time Sarah took the HELM as Governor of Alaska, about half of
the State legislature was in the pocket of big oil companies or
contractors doing big projects for Native Corporations around Alaska,
all funded by State oil revenue. Alaska government was nothing but a
good old boys club riding the perpetual wave of prosperity. This
filtered down from the legislature, through the Department of Natural
Resources, Department of Labor and even spilled in to the Public Safety
who are supposed to “preserve and protect”.
When Sarah walked into the Governor’s Mansion, she promptly dismissed
the State Trooper detachment assigned to Governor and had her and her
husband’s gun case brought in from Wasilla. Then, she got rid of the
former Governor’s STATE Jet and told legislators that there were no more
free rides, they would have to fly Alaska Airlines, just like her and
her family if they wanted to travel. Next came the nut cutting (the
Barracuda part) the heads that rolled were too numerous to name, but
when Sarah finished cleaning house, a number of our legislators ended up
in jail on corruption charges, or tendered their resignations along with
numerous department heads and those who have been riding the gravy train
for way too long, AND THEN SHE HAD LUNCH. By the end of the day, Sarah
Palin had saved the people of Alaska millions and has not yet slowed
down.
She has truly brought CHANGE to Juneau. I personally know several
persons in the private sector in Alaska, that hold her in high esteem.
She surrounds herself with smart people, many from my hometown of
Anchorage, she listens to them but makes her own decisions. Sarah Palin
is a no B.S. politician. It is refreshing that there is such a thing
anymore. You want to talk about CHANGE? You should see a before and
after picture of the State government in Alaska. That’s CHANGE! Sarah
will bring a number of things to the election. I am sure she will appeal
to many voters who may otherwise have gone the other direction on
election day. The conservative block will not be for Barack. We have
their vote. We need what Sarah will bring, first to the election and
second, what she will bring to Washington D.C. McCain has been advised
well, Let’s just hope the American people can get the straight scoop on
her in the weeks ahead. This is just the opinion of one Alaska Bush
Pilot and Guide, who pays attention to national politics, watches the
news and is deathly afraid of the direction our nation is headed. I
guarantee that if Sarah gets a chance to dig her spurs into the flanks
of the liberal Washington types, they will know that she is in the
saddle.
