earmarks AND debt

What I want to know is while she was mayor how did Palin both bring in $26.9 million of Ted Stevens-approved earmarks AND leave office with $19 million of debt??

Thats impressive and makes her sound even more like Bush.

Does the fact they are running a secessionist candidate mean that is Phase 2 of the Republican's Operation Destroy America?

It is a strange fact, isn't it? Wonder how many people have put that together.

Oh for a world in which it was word one out of Charlie Gibson's mouth.

Being a resident of Wasilla myself and since I've posted elsewhere on the earmark subject I won't touch that here.

There seems to be a movement amongst the far right wing of the Republican party who truly hate government, really really hate it in fact.

Bush claims to be one of these people - I think they DO hate government, so much so that they seek to control it and destroy it from the inside out, taking names and making people famous on the way.

Apparently we both chose very similar titles at the same time; Apologies.

BTW: In my post, I identify the source of the debt as the sports arena, based on media reports and my memory of the "open letter".

Great minds like alike and all that.

There are so many of these stories to attack these jokers on, it shouldn't even be close.
