I particularly like the description of their aircraft as “a vintage float-plane.” In other words an OLD Piper SuperCub. The comparison of how many snow machines they have owned over the last 20 years is precious as well. Todd is a racer! How many cars do you think a stock car driver (think local tracks, not NASCAR) owns over 2 decades? And their “large lakeside home— worth $526,800″? They neglect to mention that Todd built it himself. There is so much spin on this story, if you could harness it, you could power Wasilla!

Palin/Nugent would be one exciting, energetic ticket, love it.

Liberaland would be appalled, but they enjoy being appalled.

Mugsy,

No, we are conservatives. If you want institutionalized hate and racism please see the national socialist left.

Thank you for showing us what a colossal ass you are though. Another National Socialist calling conservatives NAZIs…. Wow… that lie is original.

This article is full of jealousy. I have lived in Alaska for 18 years – my husband was born and raised here. Most people hunt for food – to suggest otherwise is crap (especially an animal as large as a moose). They have a family of at least six (including the baby who I am certain doesn’t eat moose or deer yet). Of course, they eat the meat. We hope to get a moose every couple of years too, if we’re lucky. A moose is a huge animal that can feed a household for over a year. It is the best meat. No fat. Easy to cook.

Yes, they’ve been “fortunate”. It is called hard work… working a couple different jobs (a fishery and oil worker), as governor, and yet maintaining a family through it all. The house does sound wonderful. However, Todd Palin is said to have built it with buddies. That’s not surprising, as many like to build their own homes with a contractor. And, the plane (from the Greta interview) was in the family. So was the gillnet permit. That’s not odd at all. Many in our town pass permits down to their sons. Of course, sometimes people sell their permits as well if they can make a good profit or have no one to hand it down to. It is up to the owner.

We don’t have a snow machine, but most who want one – save and buy one. The cost of living is expensive in Alaska and people must work hard and make decisions. The Palins have worked and been successful because of their own determination and abilities. They’ve earned their successes. I think it is a shame that the AP works envy and jealousy into their article instead of admiration for this wonderful family.

Okay, Missy… got my “dream ticket”…. Palin/Nugent. I believe the Motorcity Mad Man has a terrific deer recipe. LOL

But seriously, I do love Ted. Walks the talk, generous, an award receiving environmentalist, great ideas for education, and an unmistakable conservative. No camo’s on that guy for seeing who he is and where he stands.

OMFG….
The people have earned what they have..
One of the very best things about this country is that if you’re willing to work and take a chance you might do well..
And these freaking morons from AP show their socialist bias in a big way!!!

Her favorite food is moose stew, kind of hard to make that without the meat from a moose. So much for trophy hunting. Those that know about hunting would know that you can eat the meat and send the “trophy” part off to the taxidermist.

They gave a good chunk to charity, note they didn’t compare that to what Obama and Biden gave either. And yes, Obama broke his charity habit by giving more recently than in the past, 20 grand to that church.

I wish hubby had a collection of sleds instead of jeeps. That’s another issue. Sounds extreme, but most of the time some are used, and some are for parts. If the area they live in is as rural as where our farm is, you tend to hang on to what you can otherwise you have to drive forever to maybe find what you need or order parts which takes time and can get expensive.

Sounds like they are hard workers and deserve everything they’ve worked for, 20 years worth.
