Palin to resign as Alaska governor

[hugo]

That's one of thier core goals and how could they posibaly make goverment any bigger?

 

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

[hugo]

Yeah, how did I get apologist out of a guy who posts, of all things, a Glen Beck tribute calling this woman a frikken 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.

John Wayne was a hero. He gave inspiration to millions of people. True grit!! Sarah is doing the same thing to millions of women who don't know which path to take. You don't have to take up arms or save a life personally to be a hero.

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 have to disagree. Anybody can be a hero. You can be one to your kids in directing them to the right path in life. Even Barack could be considered a hero to some. Maybe he set morals in his kids to serve others. Maybe he has inspired young black and white kids alike to strive for higher goals. I agree with you in that our soldiers in arms are true heroes but we need other less equivalent heroes to direct America in the direction to as near to perfection as we can.

[hugo]

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

[snafu]

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

Are you trying to make exuses for the crap that the Obama's admin. is trying to do now? You call goverment controled medicare an expansion of whats to become?

Romney is in a blue state. Remember? He's doing the best he can with THEM people.

Sarah will back up any candidate that has our (Republican) values at heart. This isn't a game to see who gets to be on top. It's a game to save America that our for fathers fought for.

 

She might not be the next president of our United States but a Republican will.

[Old Salt]

I'd rather see someone, anyone, elected who will work for the good of the nation rather than the good of the party.

 

I don't believe either of our current two parties will do that. Neither will the majority of the minor parties out there who are simply pushing an agenda such as Ralph Nader's party.

 

If the country succeeds, all of its citizens have a chance to succeed (the old adage Nothing is certain in life except death and taxes applies). If the country fails, all of its citizens will fail.

I'm not surprised at all she's doing this. Way to be reliable, dependable and dedicated. I totally agree with Ali and Bender.

The humorus part about all of it, is during the elections, she preached to the public that it was Obama who is the one who is weak, that it was Obama who was the one who would cut and run. I think she owes many a constituent an apology.

So what happened to your sermons on States rights? Mass. is doing what they want and its working.

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

A little to in late bud. He might not have been a Governor but Obama's closer to a commie than Romney. And I thought you were on the trash Sarah band wagon all of a sudden. So you think Sarah is a commie or Romney is one?

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

I think you need to read up on the CIR corp. We didn't sell our land. We rented it and the native corp. make a profit that they invest. I don't believe any of our money is going to welfare. That my friend is free enterprise.

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.

[hugo]

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.

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!

[hugo]

John Wayne was a hero.

 

John Wayne was a draft dodger.

[ImWithStupid]

I myself, have been silent because I don't think anyone knows what's going on.

 

As for the building contractor claims, I'll just say, Ted Stevens. He was pushed out of the Senate and it was found to be a big federal wild goose chase.

 

I may be wrong, but I feel the mentality and way of Alaskan politics is much more personal and to the people than most places the national media are used to. Troopergate proved to be a bunch of what's to do about nothing.

 

What happens often in small government politics, is that if the current official isn't planning to run again, they often quit mid term so that the appointed person is able to be the incumbent in the next election.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what were're seeing.

 

I also think any other speculation is just ignorant morons running with their agenda. If you saw her speak off of the leash of the moronic McCain leash, she's quite articulate and pronounced, and the blunders seen in the campaign were McCain miscues, limiting her speech.

So what happened to free trade? This is capitalism at it's finest. We rent our resources. Whats wrong with that?

 

Your either stoned or you've been talking out your ass all these years. What the people can't profit by the help of our state run goverment?

Here is where Hugo doesn't understand America. States can do whatever they fukking want, as long as it doesn't interfere with the Constitution.

 

Fukking, hypocrit.

 

She never said she wanted this for the USA. If It's Alaska's resources, more fukkin' power to them and I hope they find more.
