Hahahahaha – I love it!

When your white kids marry black kids – then you can say you are NOT a racist! LOL

I’m not trying to argue with you, but it gets to me when the lower 48 doesn’t get it. Drill here, drill now and pay for it as you go oil companies. That’s a different concept I know. But if the Ds and Rs want to kill the controversy over drilling. Make the oil companies pay for it. What do you think those middle eastern countries are doing?

Are we so stupid that we can’t reap the wealth in a legitimate way?

Socialism, no. Economics, yes.

You completely miss the point. Of course Alaska can tax oil companies who drill there and they always have. However, shortly after Palin became governor she increased those taxes (a $6 billion increase in taxes on oil companies) that oil companies pay to do business in Alaska. That is a tax increase however you look at it.

If I do business in Georgia and if the government increased my taxes … as our Republican Governor has a tendency to want to do … that is tax increase just like Palin increased taxes in Alaska.

She then took that tax increase on oil companies and re-distributed much of the money to Alaska residents by the government writing them checks.

How is that not the very definition of socialism, is it not?

Drill there, pay here. What makes you think the oil companies paying to do business on AK soil is welfare?

Duh. You don’t get it.

Obama talks about change but what has he done about it? He rips McCain for voting with the GOP 90% of the time, yet when has he ever broken with his party on a major issue? Or Biden for that matter?

YOU think “affirmative action” got Palin elected to be governor of Alaska?

Polls: Voters Doubt Palin’s Qualifications While Obama Expands Lead

FOXNEWS-Most voters are unfamiliar with John McCain’s new running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and many question her qualifications to be president, according to a USA TODAY/Gallup poll.

Meanwhile, another Gallup poll shows Barack Obama maintaining an 8 percentage point lead over John McCain following the end of the Democratic convention Thursday.

Republicans begin their four-day convention Monday here even as Hurricane Gustav picks up steam as it approaches the Gulf Coast. Palin is scheduled to speak Wednesday.

In the poll taken Friday, 39 percent said she is ready to serve as president if needed, 33 percent said she isn’t and 29 percent have no opinion.

That’s the lowest rating any running mate has had since then-Indiana Sen. Dan Quayle was selected in 1988 to join George H.W. Bush’s team.

By contrast, 57 percent of voters rated Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as qualified after Obama selected him last week. Eighteen percent said he wasn’t qualified.

Meanwhile, the Gallup daily tracking poll shows good news for Obama, following the close of the Democratic National Convention and his high-profile nomination acceptance speech Thursday.

The poll, taken from Wednesday to Friday, showed Obama leading McCain by 49 percent to 41 percent for the second day in a row — a campaign high for him.

Before the convention, the two presidential candidates were tied at 45 percent.
