Replying to: steve_ (Jul 04, 2009 7:59 am) I look at it as more strategic. If the Lt. Gov is as you say a solid sort. It gives him a real chance to prove his worth prior to the next election. Should give him a running start on winning in 2010. If they share much of the same ideas for Alaska it was the RIGHT thing to do. If Palin's plans are not politically motivated she may be wanting to get more involved in pushing the gas line through Canada. That was her pet project when she headed up the Oil and gas Commission. As well as during her tenure as Governor. In my Opinion her lack of education is overcome by her common sense. Something that seems totally missing in Washington DC. I would not tack quitter on her quite yet. I don't think we have seen the last of Sarah Palin by any stretch. I really would not expect her to go for the Presidency in 2012. That is a long time off and Barry will have pretty well buggered up the economy by then. Unless he has some kind of bubble up his sleeve.

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 04, 2009 11:11 am) Or follow the muckracking. The rumor on the street is that an indictment is pending for getting her house build free by Todd's friends ... while Todd's friends were building a giant public sports complex down the street. She's been a quitter before though - she didn't serve out her term on the Alaska Oil & Gas Commission either. One thing she'd done is help the HuffPo web hits. I didn't think I'd revisit that site until the next election.  I'm ALWAYS a bit LEERY of people who write in sporatic CAPS with lots of !!! too. It doesn't make for effective communication to me. Palin Announces No Second Term |

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 04, 2009 11:11 am) I would like to know the "common sense" solutions to repairing the ailments of today. I don't see those with the claimed sense offering solutions. But when your state has low population, low public infrastructure demands, and an ability to dodge tax liabilities, the world is your oyster.

Replying to: fintail (Jul 04, 2009 12:57 pm) It's all speculation about Palin at this point, but it's entertaining to speculate. At least so long as you aren't the one on the receiving end of it. |

Replying to: fintail (Jul 04, 2009 1:02 pm) Hmmmm, I can somewhat agree. However, we have Never had a totally free market to find out what would happen. Yes this is the new reality. It was inevitable. One of my favorite writers Jerry Pournelle predicted this exact situation more than 30 years ago in his ScFi books. His and my belief is you cannot put up a wall around you. You have to bring those less fortunate up to your standard or they will bring you down to theirs. Looks like the worst case scenario is happening. I think the UAW is a good example of a few people getting more than their fair share with little effort. While all those around them were making less than half, many working much harder for what they got. To be perfectly honest I was also in that category with my job. Though far less people willing to spend half their life in the Arctic to achieve that standard of living. Worrying about the rich getting richer is a futile pursuit. Since the beginning of man, a few have dominated the many. Always has been always will be. With the walls crashing down around US, my children and grandchildren will have it much harder than I did. As far as our buggered economy. Spending will only make it worse. You and I both know that. Barry should have studied history instead of community organizing.
