horrific Palin story for them to vet out and then pressure them with
emails, etc to do what they need to be doing…..investigative reporting
[Kudos to Kimbers for compiling this list]
We need to start complaining to the MSM to start covering Palin’s
other issues and lighten up on the discussions of Palin’s daughter and
the boyfriend.
Did you notice last night and today if you have the radio or TV on,
how all the complaining is that the left is out of line attacking the
Palin family? It’s as if a memo went out for them all to make the same
comment. It’s all they are saying! If they say it enough, it will be
perceived to be true even if it isn’t, by the vast majority of people
who only form opinions based on soundbites.
We need to get busy counteracting this now!! Make some noise! Hold the
MSM’s feet to the fire!"

Vetting
http://robertreich.blogspot.com/
Tuesday, September 02, 2008
Having been through the process of “vetting” prospective cabinet
members, I can tell you it’s time-consuming, detailed, and thorough.
I’d like to think the vetting of a vice presidential nominee would be
more so – especially one whose odds of becoming president, should she
be elected, are somewhat higher than that of the normal vice
president.
Sixteen years ago, Bill Clinton’s “vetting” team asked me and other
prospective cabinet members for (1) our tax returns, going back at
least five years, (2) our bank records, (3) a detailed listing of our
assets, (4) the names and places of everywhere we had lived, and the
names and phone numbers of neighbors whom they could call about us,
(5) a description of every job we had ever had, every client we had
ever served, and the names of employers and clients with whom they
could check, (6) the names of our family members, their ages, their
occupations (if any), (7) a description of any civil or criminal
investigations or prosecutions in which we had been involved (8) and –
perhaps most importantly – “anything we should ask you about, the
answer to which might cause you or the administration any
embarrassment.”
It didn’t stop there. Investigators checked our answers, interviewed
our friends and neighbors and former employers, asked for more records
if uncertain. Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation did
their own background checks. Staff members of the relevant
congressional committees, representing both parties, looked over the
files and added questions of their own.

By RICK STEINER
GUEST COLUMNIST
While I disagree with many of Sen. John McCain's policies, I was
willing to concede that he may at least make a wise, rational
president and represent a step in the right direction for the nation.
No longer. With his pick of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running
mate, he has shown a spectacular, even dangerous lack of judgment.
In addition to her frightening lack of qualification to be vice
president (much less president) of the United States, Palin is an
evangelical, anti-choice, pro-gun, right-wing conservative who wants
creationism taught in schools. She is currently under investigation by
the Alaska Legislature for alleged abuse of office. Many of us in
Alaska simply cannot imagine Palin having anything to do with U.S.
foreign policy, domestic policy, national defense or the countless
other affairs of federal governance.
A particularly worrisome aspect of the Palin candidacy is her abysmal
record on the environment during her two years as Alaska governor, and
how that would translate into national environmental policy if she
became vice president. Her environmental record as governor of the
nation's "last frontier" deserves close examination.
# Climate change. Although Alaska is ground zero in the crisis of
global warming, Palin has done virtually nothing to address the
problem except hold meetings and appoint a "climate sub-cabinet" that
likewise has done little. Lots of talk, no action. Although in the
past two years the Arctic summer sea ice shrunk to the lowest levels
ever recorded, Palin apparently does not believe it is human-induced
or cause for alarm. She was asked to establish an Alaska Office on
Climate Change, an Alaska Climate Response Fund (based on a tax on
Alaska oil production) and emissions reduction targets for Alaska, but
has taken no action on those requests.
# Polar bears. This summer, Palin filed suit against the Bush
administration over the federal listing of polar bears as threatened,
saying that her opposition was based on a "comprehensive scientific
review." But when asked to release the scientific review, she refused.
The document, later obtained by the public (from the federal
government), clearly shows that, contrary to Palin's assertions, the
state of Alaska's marine mammal scientists agreed with the federal
conclusions that the polar bears are in serious trouble because of
global warming and loss of their sea ice habitat, and that they would
be gone from Alaska by 2050. Palin clearly decided to oppose the
listing in order to protect Arctic oil and gas development, then
publicly misrepresented the basis for her decision, and then tried to
conceal all of that. Having run for office on a platform of honesty
and transparency, this behavior was neither. Her extreme position here
puts her to the political right of the Bush /Cheney administration.
# Endangered species. Earlier this year, Palin approved a $2 million
state appropriation for a conference on the "economic impacts" of the
Endangered Species Act, designed to persuade the public that ESA
listings were too costly and unwarranted. Recently she agreed to use
the money instead to fund the state's lawsuit against the Bush
administration over the polar bear listing -- a likely violation of
the state constitutional provisions on appropriation. She opposes
additional species listings and other protections in Alaska, where
many species are at risk because of climate change and other threats.
# Predator control. Palin approved and expanded the state's aerial
predator control program, where wolves are shot from aircraft and
bears hunted from aircraft and killed upon landing. This year, her
state biologists even dragged 14 newborn wolf pups from their den and,
having already shot their parents, then shot each of the pups in the
head at close range. Last year, her administration offered a $150
bounty for each wolf killed until the bounty was ruled illegal by the
courts. Hundreds of wolves are killed each year by this antiquated
state program that has no scientific justification whatsoever, but
rather is designed to appease Palin's urban sport hunter supporters.
# Pebble mine. Palin aggressively opposed the "clean water initiative"
on the August ballot in Alaska (which then failed), favoring instead
foreign mining company desires for fewer government regulations
controlling their toxic effluent into salmon streams. She has
supported virtually any and all mining proposals that have come her
way, even likely the enormous Pebble gold and silver mine proposed in
the Bristol Bay watershed. That plan put at risk the largest runs of
sockeye salmon in the world, where this summer fishermen caught more
than 27 million salmon.
# Oil and gas drilling. Palin has supported oil and gas drilling plans
anywhere in Alaska, including in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge,
the central Arctic, the entire Arctic Ocean, and in fish-rich Bristol
Bay and Cook Inlet. On her watch, regulation and government oversight
of Alaska oil facilities is terribly lacking, and she has declined to
establish a citizens' advisory council to provide more effective
public oversight of the expanding oil and gas operations in Arctic
Alaska.
# Exxon Valdez oil spill damages. Palin refuses to push Exxon to pay
the government for the unanticipated environmental injuries from the
disastrous 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. Almost 20 years later, the
private case is still unresolved and the governments likewise have yet
to collect full payment from Exxon. Shortly before Palin took office
in 2006, the governments presented Exxon with a demand to pay $92
million for this additional environmental damage, but her
administration has since not pressed the issue nor taken Exxon to
court to collect the money. Meanwhile, Exxon reaps record profits from
Alaska.
# Trans Pacific shipping. Palin repeatedly has been asked by coastal
residents and organizations to enhance the safety of merchant shipping
through Alaska's Aleutian Islands, a primary shipping route between
Asia and North America, but she's done nothing. Citizens want better
vessel tracking, powerful rescue tugs along the route and a risk
assessment. While her predecessor funded a scoping study, the Palin
administration has not appropriated one dime to improve shipping
safety through the Aleutians, and says it will take no further action
to reduce risk for several years into the future.
The pattern is clear. On the environment, Sarah Palin is essentially
George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and perhaps James Watt rolled into one,
but with a more pleasant demeanor. At a time when the nation and world
urgently need strong environmental leadership from the United States,
it is important to look beyond charisma and carefully consider the
environmental implications of our vote in November.
