HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You've got ot be kidding! They weren't bipartisan when they were a minority. They weren't bipartisan when they were a simple majority. Now they want us to believe that they will be bipartisan when they are a super majority? Right. Just what in the history of liberalism would ever lead us to believe they are going to be bipartisan?

Huh?! That woman is a nut. Can't wait to watch the Daily Show tonight and see how that one gets torn up! I think it'll win "gaff of the day" for sure.

Just for fun, rather than add this Palin quote to the Socialist thread, I thought I'd put it here:
http://politicalwire.com/archives/20...f_the_day.html

Quote:

"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."

-- Gov. Sarah Palin, quoted by the New Yorker, a few weeks before she was nominated for vice president.

Once again, facts are missing. in the CONSTITUTION of the State of Alaska, it explicitly states that the natural resources of Alaska are collectively owned by the citizens of the state. Are you saying that Palin should have gone against the constitution of her state? I do believe she swore an oath to uphold that very constitution, didn't she? Therefore, Palin was very correct in her statement and you are totally off base in your assertion that she is resorting to socialism.

. . . waiting for the "whoops, I'm wrong".

The constitution of Alaska didn't appear out of thin air. It was authored and the language was not capitalist language by my reconing. As it is, the sharing of the profits is a more recent legislative act.

Sarah Palin is beng very vocal about HER involvement with recent profit distributions to the citizens simply by virtue of their existance, not because of the sweat of their brow.

Barring all of that, what I hear you stating is that if 'sharing' financial profits is written into a constitutional document then it's ok and is no longer considered that nasty dirty word "Socialism"?

intheknow · 10-29-2008, 08:04 AM

HER involvement is that as the governor of the state doing what the state laws and regulations say. The Permanent Fund Dividend is an intregal part of Alaska citizenship and ti certainly does have some aspects of socialism in that ALL citizens get something purely on the reason of being an Alaskan citizen. The money comes from profits from oil and gas production from state owned resources. Rather than the state taking all that money to squander, it is divided out, per legislative and state constitutional mandate, to the people of the state to be squandered by them as they see fit.

Whether the language was was capitalist or not by your "reconing" is certainly not relevant, is it? Also, Palin took pride in talking about the very popular PFD payments as governor. Your problem is that you have decided not to like Palin, evidently based solely on partisanship. Is Palin was a Democrat, you most likely would be slobbering all over her.

If Palin were a Democrat and thought the way she thinks now and held the same positions on the issues that she holds now, then I can guarantee you that I -- and many other liberals -- would NOT be "slobbering all over her."

In fact, I have never "slobbered over" another person (candidate or otherwise) in my life.
