Palin got help from corrupt oilman for first state office

alaskadispatch.com — In 2001, Sarah Palin drove from her Wasilla home, through the downtown streets of Anchorage, to a large home near the bluffs of muddy Cook Inlet. The home belonged to Bill Allen. Allen ran the state ’s largest oil-contracting firm, the ominously named VECO Corp. After Palin and Allen met, VECO contributed $5,000 to Palin’s campaign for Lt. Governor.

    So, let me get this straight.....

    #1--Some guy, in oil, bundled money to Palin. A whopping $5,000!! Gee! Brokerage companies on Wall Street have bundled hundreds of thousands for Obama and McCain. Not five grand, but hundreds of thousands! BFD.

    #2--Years later, he did something, got convicted, and his conviction, it never had anything whatsoever, according to the public records, with Palin, or any of her actions. Ever.

    #3--Ever hear of Tony Rezko? He contributed much more money to Obama, and now is a convicted felon! Is there something "ominious" about his contributions to Obama? Because by your standard and that silly Internet "newspaper" that makes Obama as guilty, more so, than Palin.

    Buried as inaccurate, speculative, and downright evil to be twisted in the way you have. Reason #87876565 why Obama will not win.....supporters that are lame and stupid liars.
