The Truth Be Told . . .

Palin has really been hinging her argument on this "my state is an energy state and that's why I've got the experience to be v.p." stance. CNN's Peter Hambly gave a bit more perspective on her claims stating:

"In making her case, Palin did not note, as she had previously, that Alaska produces 20 percent of the country’s energy supply. Fact-checks in recent days have shown that Alaska provides about 14 percent of oil from American wells, and government statistics show that Alaska’s total energy production is 3.5 percent of the country’s total output."

So Pitbull Palin, despite what you're claiming, you're fudging the numbers a bit. I mean there's a bit of a difference between 20% and 3.5 percent . . . let's just look at some numbers.

If you . . . .

make $50,000 a year, a 20% raise would be another $10,000 a year . . . . 3.5% would be $1500. Difference?

have a $250,000 30 year mortage at 3.5% your payment would be about $1225 a month . . . 20% mortgage . . . $4177 a month. Difference?

Palin, do us a favor and give us the truth about your resume.
