John Wayne was a draft dodger.

The Queen of all Welfare Queens Palin's sole accomplishment as Governor has been to increase taxes on the oil industry by 11% resulting in a 16.5% decline in oil production but triping the oil-revenue derived welfare payment to every resident of Alaska to $2884 in 2007. She passed the states highest budget in history - when Alaska already had BY FAR the highest level of per capita state spending AND the highest level of per capita federal spending in the country. Combined state/federal spending in Alaska is a staggering $27,000 per person! How could anyone consider this Queen of all Welfare Queens to be a conservative????? OFF WITH HER HEAD!

Ya know we have gone far down the road to serfdom when the party of "limited" government has as its' three major players Sarah "Spread the Wealth" Palin, Mitt "Government Healthcare" Romney and John "Screw the 1st Amendment" McCain. Of course , we got Dick "Tater" Cheney who said "Screw the Constitution" and bailed out GM and Chrysler.

Palin The Wealth Spreader: Gov. Imposed Oil Windfall Profits Tax To Allow Alaskans To ‘Share In The Wealth’ In recent days, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), has begun referring to Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) as “Barack the Wealth Spreader,” referring to his proposed tax plan that would provide greater tax relief for lower income individuals than those with higher incomes. Obama recently explained his support for progressive taxation, saying, “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” Palin contends that Obama’s characterization of his tax plan revealed him to be a “socialist” who wants to “redistribute” American wealth. Palin argues that the Obama tax plan “discourages productivity,” will “punish hardwork,” and will “stifle the entrepreneurial spirit.” Conservatives in the media have echoed Palin’s sentiments, insinuating that Obama is a “Marxist” and referring to his tax plan as “welfare.” But Palin’s criticisms of Obama’s “spread the wealth” remarks are ironic, as she recently characterized Alaska’s tax code in a very similar way. Just last month, in an interview with Philip Gourevitch of the New Yorker, Palin explained the windfall profits tax that she imposed on the oil industry in Alaska as a mechanism for ensuring that Alaskans “share in the wealth” generated by oil companies: And Alaska—we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs. … It’s to maximize benefits for Alaskans, not an individual company, not some multinational somewhere, but for Alaskans. In fact, Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share (ACES) program, which manages the redistribution of oil wealth in Alaska, brings in so much money that the state needs no income or sales tax. In addition, this year ACES will provide every Alaskan with a check for an estimated $3,200. As Hendrick Hertzberg notes, “Perhaps there is some meaningful distinction between spreading the wealth and sharing it…but finding it would require the analytic skills of Karl the Marxist.” I AIN'T SUPPORTING NO COMMIE GOVERNOR.

Taking money from oil companies and using it to distribute welfare payments ain't exactly free enterprise in action.

States have the right to go commie. Does not mean I want a commie governor for President.

It is clear that Trig got his retardation from his mother, Sarah "Cut and Run" Palin.

The fact that manure stinks does not mean hydrogen sulfide does not.

Yep, and the crack dealer in his Cadillac is also a hero to some. I set a higher standard for heroes.

The Duke was a damn good actor, just like Barack and Sarah, they ain't no heroes. Doing the right thing don't make ya a hero.

I remember when I was ten years old and I called John Wayne a hero in the presence of my father. He quickly corrected me by stating "Audie Murphy was a hero, John Wayne is an actor". There was an era when the word hero meant something.

It wa GW's expansion of medicare, which he left basically unfunded, that made national healtcare inevitable.

National healthcare is looking more and more like Romney's state of Massachusett's plan.

It would be the first time since 1984.

We'll never really know.

I am still fantasizing the Republicans will pick a candidate who believes in limited government.

While, I may disagree with Obama's poltics, he at least is not a total lightweight relying on charm and looks alone.

They will find another job. If not, society is better off if they are dead.

The blue dog Dems may save us from being totally screwed.

Because some people just need to die.

Saw in an obit once a guy named Bud Weiser croaked. Depressed me before I found out he had no connection with the beer.

We are actually headed toward more of a French style healthcare system, with private healthcare paid with public funds.

Yep, once one of the five in the majority retire, or die, the 14th Amendment will no longer protect asians and whites.

If something stinks, no matter where you are at, ya got your head up your ass.

How the hell do ya get half a billion in debt? I might wanna try that.
