| Sarah Palin RNC Acceptance Speech 3 |
 |
Sarah Palin gives a Historic speech,
Republican presidential candidate John McCain
announced he had chosen Palin as his running
mate. She is the second female vice
presidential candidate representing a major
political party, after Democrat Geraldine
Ferraro in 1984, and the First in the
Republican Party. Sarah Louise Heath Palin (
born February 11, 1964) is the current
governor of the U.S. state of Alaska, and is
the Republican vice presidential nominee in
the 2008 United States presidential election.
In 2006, Palin was sworn in as the governor
of Alaska, becoming the first woman and
youngest person to hold the office. She is
the first governor born after Alaska achieved
statehood. Palin was elected to two terms on
the Wasilla, Alaska, city council from 1992
to 1996, then won two terms as mayor of
Wasilla from 1996 to 2002. from St. Paul,
Minnesota. Palin has strongly promoted oil
and natural gas resource development in
Alaska, including in the Alaskan National
Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), where such
development has been the subject of a
national debate. She also helped pass a tax
increase on oil company profits. Palin has
followed through on plans to create a new
sub-cabinet group of advisers to address
climate change and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions within Alaska. When asked about
climate change after becoming Senator
McCain's presumptive running mate, she stated
that it would "affect Alaska more than any
other state", but she added, "I'm not one
though who would attribute it to being
man-made." Shortly after taking office, Palin
rescinded 35 appointments made by Murkowski
in the last hours of his administration,
including that of his former chief of staff
James "Jim" Clark to the Alaska Natural Gas
Development Authority. In March 2007, Palin
presented the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act
(AGIA) as the new legal vehicle for building
a natural gas pipeline from the state's North
Slope. This negated a deal by the previous
governor to grant the contract to a coalition
including BP (her husband's former employer).
Only one legislator, Representative Ralph
Samuels, voted against the measure, and in
June, Palin signed it into law. On January 5,
2008, Palin announced that a Canadian
company, TransCanada Corporation, was the
sole AGIA-compliant applicant. In August
2008, Palin signed a bill into law giving the
state of Alaska authority to award
TransCanada Pipelines $500 million in seed
money and a license to build and operate the
$26-billion pipeline to transport natural gas
from the North Slope to the Lower 48 through
Canada. In response to high oil and gas
prices, and the resulting state government
budget surplus, Palin proposed giving
Alaskans $100-a-month energy debit cards. She
also proposed providing grants to electrical
utilities so that they would reduce
customers' rates. She subsequently dropped
the debit card proposal, and in its place she
proposed to send each Alaskan $1,200 from the
windfall surplus resulting from high oil
prices. In 2007, Palin supported the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game policy allowing
Alaska state biologists to hunt wolves from
helicopters as part of a predator control
program intended to increase moose
populations. The program was criticized by
Defenders of Wildlife and predator control
opponents, and prompted California State
Representative George Miller to introduce a
federal bill (H.R. 3663) seeking to make the
practice illegal. In March 2008, a federal
judge in Alaska upheld the practice of
hunting wolves from the air, though limited
its extent. On August 26, 2008, Alaskans
voted against ending the state's predator
control program. Part 3 of 5

1997 hit of third eye blind
lyrics:
I'm packed and I'm holding,
I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden and
she lives for me, She says she lives for me,
Ovation, She's got her own motivation,
she comes round and she goes down on me,
And I make her smile, It's like a drug for
you,
Do ever what you want to do, Coming over you,
Keep on smiling, what we go through.
One stop to the rhythm that divides you,
And I speak to you like the chorus to the
verse,
Chop another line like a coda with a curse,
And I come on like a freak show takes the
stage.
We give them the games we play, she said,
I want something else, to get me through
this,
Semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say, Good-bye.
The sky it was gold, it was rose,
I was taking sips of it through my nose,
And I wish I could get back there, Some place
back there,Smiling in the pictures you would
take, Doing crystal myth,
Will lift you up until you break,
It won't stop, I won't come down, I keep
stock,
With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the
drop,
And then I bumped up. I took the hit I was
given
Then I bumped again, And then I bumped again.
How do I get back there to,
The place where I fell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to,
The place where you said,
I want something else to get me through this,
semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say, good-bye,
I believe in the sand beneath my toes,
The beach gives a feeling, An earthy feeling,
I believe in the faith that grows,
And the four right chords can make me cry,
When I'm with you I feel like I could die.
And that would be all right,
All right, When the plane came in,
She said she was crashing, The velvet it
rips,
In the city we tripped, On the urge to feel
alive, But now I'm struggling to survive,
The days you were wearing, That velvet dress,
You're the priestess, must confess,
Those little red panties,
They pass the test, Slide up around the
belly,
Face down on the mattress, One,
Now you hold me, And we're broken.
Still it's all that I want to do.
Feel myself with a head made of the ground,
I'm scared but I'm not coming down.
And I won't run for my life,
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
but nothing is all right,
All right, I want something else,
To get me through this,
Semi-charmed kind of life,
I want something else,
I'm not listening when you say, good-bye.

Hopefully this release clears up some of the
misconceptions towards Anonymous,
specifically the ones the media has construed
in order to make the story more evil.
Scientology is a cancer upon society and must
be removed.
