The report on Governor Palin has some staggering facts regarding the self claimed republican. A 2.2 GPA isn't going to do much to add to her credibility, but it's the increases in spending that should be truly noted. In our world of instant credit and instant collapse, is this the kind of mindset we need in Washington?Government Administrative Spending Increased 48 Percent Under Palin.
In fiscal 2003—the last fiscal year Palin approved the budget—the expenditures of
the general government of Wasilla were $1,899,275. In fiscal 1996—the year before
Palin took control of the budget—the expenditures were $1,286,594. The increase was
48 percent. “General government expenditures” covers administration, city council,
administrative and management systems. [Wasilla Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report 2003, Table 1]
Total Government Expenditures Increased 63 Percent Under Palin.
In fiscal 2003—the last fiscal year Palin approved the budget—the total government
expenditures of Wasilla, excluding capital outlays, were $7,046,325. In fiscal 1996
—the year before Palin took control of the budget—the expenditures were $4,317,947.
The increase was 63 percent. [Wasilla Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 2003,
Table 1]
Spending On Salaries Increased 67 Percent Under Palin.
In fiscal 2003—the last fiscal year Palin approved the budget—the total spending on salaries and benefits was $549,392. In fiscal 1996—the year before Palin took control of the budget—salaries and benefits came to $328,650. The increase was 67 percent. [Wasilla Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 2003, Exhibit D- 1; Wasilla
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 1996 page 16]
Office Furniture and Equipment Increased 117% Under Palin.
In fiscal 2003—the last fiscal year Palin approved the budget—Wasilla owned $741,589 in office furniture and equipment. In fiscal 1996— the year before Palin took control of the budget—the city owned $342,449. The increase was 117 percent. [Wasilla Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 2003, page 19; Wasilla Comprehensive Annual Financial Report 1996 page 29]
City Administration Spending on Outside Professional Services Increased More than 9-Fold (932%) Under Palin.
In fiscal 2003—the last fiscal year Palin approved the budget—the Wasilla administration spent $150,500 on professional and technical services. In fiscal 1996—the year before Palin took control of the budget—the administration spent $14,590. The increase was 932 percent.

I like this one too:
Career (1978-1997):
1987-1989: Sports Reporter
KTUU-TV, KTVA-TV (Anchorage), and Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman
1988-present: Co-owner, husbands fishing operation
1992-1996: Wasilla AK city council
1994-1997: Co-owner, snow machine dealership (failed)
Perhaps know we know why she is being protected so dutifully by the Republican Party.

she may not be retarded, however, she skirting pretty close. I believe it anything 70 and below, give or take 13 points. The lower you go dictates what your ability range is. Sp is just a functional idiot.
On larry king tonight, there was an issue references her inability to discribe the duties of the vp. Sp could not do it during the vp debates and you would think that she wold have had enough sense to do here research.
There are just a few duties that he has after assuming the role of president in event of a presidential tragedy.
how hard can it be, the vp does not run senate? - 4 years ago

This is a false rumor. I'm not a Palin fan by any means, and agree that she is a dummy. But an IQ of 83 would mean she is in the mentally retarded range. With that kind of IQ, we would be seeing a LOT more evidence of basic difficulties -- she'd NEVER have been able to fake her way through that debate, for instance. And for a person to have such a low IQ, she'd never have been able to score so "high" on the SAT. She's not fit for the office she seeks, but she's not mentally retarded.

She only had a minor in political science
Palin attended several colleges and universities. In 1982, she enrolled at Hawaii Pacific College but left after her first semester. She transferred to North Idaho community college, where she spent two semesters as a general studies major. From there, she transferred to the University of Idaho for two semesters. she spent three semesters completing her Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism, graduating in 1987.

This article is not interesting at all. And to you all who
believe this article. Well you must not have any common
brain cells left. And as far as a buisness failing that puts her on more common ground with the average Joe
than McCain,Obama & Biden. They have never started
up their own buisness. What is wrong with you people?
Does Sarah Palin threaten you so much that all you can do is belittle her!! - 4 years ago

oh and about that overhead projector, where the hell is that bridge to no where going, at least maybe people whose iq is above 83 can watch something intellectual on the damn projector. Mccon continued to mention that in the debate, so tacky and trivial. I am so glad Obama did not stoop the such a self degrading level as mccon .

As much as I would love to revel in this type of easy to believe smearing on Palin; it's difficult to think that, in early state elections, this wouldn't be used to put her out of contention for any public office. If we're going to make up numbers, let's make them more fun...how about the "fact" that Palin spends no less than 15% of her own personal finances on ammunition for moose hunting?

This is bordering on preaching to the choir really. We know she's not qualified. Would this information sway anyone who already supports her? Probably not. God help us all..

As far as her GPA and SAT score that was obvious... any time it takes about 6 years and 5 colleges to get a 4 year degree it is obvious that we are not talking about a serious student...
and yes her family had to have the money to support that sort of continued failure because many financial aid programs require students to get passing grades and only support you for the standard 8 semesters or 4 years
Well at least McCain did better in college he was 5th from the bottom of his class.
