Palin and Financial Management

[Yanksfan396]

We all hear Republicans boasting about Palin's enormous budget management. After reading this article, that scares me:

She can't even manage a town of 5,500 people. How can she co-manage this country?

I don't know all there is about things she passed but I do know that some things the article points out would have been voted on by the community regardless of who was the mayor. Not excusing everything but not 100% on her like the article leads you to believe.

I usually read the "About Us" page when I see .org. links.

ThinkProgress was voted “Best Liberal Blog” in the 2006 Weblog Awards.

So, when you post an actual real source and not the "best liberal blog" on the net I will take a look. This is the equivalent of sending me to bushlies.com to prove to me that the Iraq war was illegal.

Here is the editor's bio.

Faiz has previously worked as a Research Associate for the Democratic National Committee, as a Legislative Aide to Sen. Bob Graham (D-FL) on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, and as a communications aide in the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.

Pretty unbiased, huh? :)

mike, where do you get news from?

If a democrat writes anything about a republican, then it cant possibly be factual? or is that they twist the numbers until they get a result they like?

Seems to me if you go to the highlighted phrases, it takes you to the original stories. Don't see anything wrong with that if the sources are provided.

When it comes to sources, don't waste your time trying to argue with an English Major. Every single claim was cited. You're a website owner, you should know that blue font + underline = link (in this case to the actual source). Consider this "blog" a compilation of sources. With this being said, if you want to discredit, you're going to have to click every link an analyze every source.

You beat me to it :) That is 100% correct.

Well, go back and look at my links. Gallop Polls, Washington Post and a lot of times to AP. Here is the last post I see:

Notice from the AP? I posted C Span videos for the RNC.

I'm not saying all bloggers are wrong. I'm just saying I'd prefer not to read how bad Palin is from the 2006 Liberal Blog of the year.

I won't post links to Rush Limbugh or Sean Hannity because they are very biased much like this blogger. Give me some AP or other sources that actually check their facts because they are held accountable. Just look the editor. He worked for the DNC!!!

Yep, in his very first link, he uses himself as the source!!

The campaign of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is presenting his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), as a reformer, fiscal conservative,

Did you check any of the sources for the underlined text? Did you read them?
