Once More Stating the Obvious …
Okay, I came out of the closet last night (as if) with my liberal condition. And now, it seems that I have an irresistible compulsion to state the obvious on other fronts as well.
There is a place (don’t freak out) there is a place WITHIN the United States where resources are held collectively. Where private business doesn’t purchase them, but leases them from the residents and then pays enough for these leases that every man, woman, and child gets an annual payment. Now, I may be wrong, it’s been minutes and minutes since I looked up the Communist Manifesto, but isn’t that the very definition of Socialism?
Wouldn’t you think that the Governor of the State – the ONLY State in the country that has this arrangement – no income tax, just handouts – wouldn’t you think that particular Governor would hesitate just a LITTLE before going out and calling anybody else a Socialist?
You know, if I were a socialist, I’d probably be impressed that her administrative experience has been in that sort of organization.
However, I keep thinking about experience and how the McCain campaign has talked about McCain’s time in the Senate administering … his staff? of what … 30? Max? They talk about Palin’s administrative experience as mayor of a town with fewer residents than my son’s middle school. And then we have Obama, who’s managed to run a disciplined campaign for two years administering a staff of thousands with offices … well over a hundred in Florida alone. It’s kind of late and the math whiz in my house has already gone to bed, so I’m not going to try to add it all up, but I think that again, if I were the McCain/Palin ticket I wouldn’t be inviting people to take too close a look at the differences between us and HIM.

DONKEY GUY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!
The New Yorker (that liberal rag) had a great piece on this. It’s an older piece, but I read it today – about Palin and Alaskan socialism. What are the odds?
You know, she turned around in a later interview and said she doesn’t like labels. (I think she forgot to say in that interview that she doesn’t like labels on her. On everyone else, they must be fine because she had no problem labeling people socialists. AAAAH, the modern McCarthyism. I keep waiting to hear about a briefcase of evidence…)
I agree…and lol @ the size of your son’s middle school. It’s laughable because it’s true. I just can’t get myself to vote for McCain/Palin for so many different reasons than that but yeah…people can’t really compare the two.
Girlfriend….you are on a roll.
As a lover of history, I’d like to explore how Alaska came into the union. It is possible that the oil/gas money was payment for something that belonged to the people in the first place. Much like reimbursing indians for oil taken from their lands. If Exon drills on my land, I get a check.
@Krissy_Cole - the “i don’t like labels” thing was in response to a question as to whether or not she considers herself a feminist. a few days earlier she had told a reporter, in an unscripted interview, that she DID consider herself a feminist. apparently, the rnc did NOT think that was the right answer.
i agree with your point. for someone who ‘doesn’t like labels’ she sure puts a lot of them on barack.
Interesting…
I am so an obama mama. I don’t think McPalin know what these big words mean…. sheesh!
Your son’s middle school LOL good one!
If more people in this country actually had a firm grasp of the obvious (command of it is wayyyy to much to hope for) we would not need to re-state it so often, no?
Glad you are stating it, and so well, mind you.
