Exposing Sarah Palin


This has nothing to do with witchcraft prayers, or curious pregnancies, or expensive wardrobes, or slipups during speeches, or funny parodies. The video embedded above examines Sarah Palin's record as mayor of Wasilla.

Contrary to claims that her service as mayor adds to her qualifications for national office, the facts are that she is a poor administrator and not a fiscal conservative. She entered office with promises to cut waste and lower taxes. In fact she drove the city of Wasilla from a $1 million debt to $20 million in debt, mostly because of the construction of a hockey arena. She did cut her personal salary from $68K to $64K, but because of a lack of experience in governance, had to hire a city administrator for $50K to do the mayoral work. Watch the video; the people speaking are the people of Wasilla.
