Alaskan Politics (statewide and nationwide) (Metlakatla: requirement, immigrants, government)

Awesome, well... I feel so satisfied knowing that people know how to stay on topic at all.

Dear Alaskans, has your vote been swayed at all by McCain choosing Palin as VP candidate?
Or by the idea of having an Alaskan VP?

I can't condone this activity. If her emails contain important evidence, they should be obtained by legal means so she can have the opportunity to destroy the evidence -- just like they do at the White House.

You started this and ask again, can you read between the lines, maybe you need a specific poll to understand, did you go to the Arizona board and ask how they felt about McCain-Palin....was their vote swayed... did you go to North Dakoduh and ask what they thought about an Alaskan VP, Arizona P, Illiniois P, Delaware VP as well....makes no difference who is from where, no magic in where they are from..., we are more interested in hunting and gathering at this time of year and prepping to keep the igloos warm...and what difference does it make to you - look at your prior posts, what the hey????

I agree fully...I have never seen such voraciousness in attacks. It is disheartening to witness. But...she is well on her way, she'll be afforded the opportunity soon.

I'm not voting...but all the bashing going on is driving me to actually want to see them win. Just to spite the evil doers. Obama has been in the senate what...4 years? And has done absolutely nothing. Sarah has done more as a hockey Mom than that guy has ever done. He's only even in the running because folks like Oprah made him a shining star.

Thankfully, what I am, what I believe, and who I will vote for does not depend on you. I thought maybe, just maybe, I could post information that I have read in the media, information that has real sources cited and facts that could be verified, and it could be discussed, disproved, in a grown up manner. I would give you the opportunity to prove me wrong. Unfortunately, your grade school play ground responses to my posts proved my hope to be hopeless.

You have the same opportunity to post information to prove your points as I do but instead you attack me. What that tells me is that I'm right. Nothing you have posted has disproved anything. Your saying so doesn't make it fact. Your calling me names and attempting to belittle my position doesn't make your opinion fact. Pointing to my sources and calling them partisan without any opposing 'facts' doesn't make you right.

But, you, as I, are entitled to your opinion. Enjoy your view of Russian.

you are entitled to your views, but what bothers me, is you or anyone else seem to question her at every turn in the road, but forget about Biden and plaguerism (I have no idea how to spell it) but I am sure you know what I am talking about.

this is your view, I don't think many agree with you... but you are entitled to it anyway.

I feel like I am being forced to vote for Obama, because I can't take 4 more years of this.

where do all of get the idea is will be 4 more years of Bush? yes, he voted with Bush 90% of the time but if you even had been involved in Wash politics you would realize sometimes it is the lesser of the 2 evils or the only way to go at the time.

For better or worse, he is not Bush.....

Having her in the position of nominating a Supreme Court justice gives me chills.

JMO of course.

you know, I happen to know where you are coming from, I am to the right but not a right wing nut by anymeans, I am on the border when it comes to pro-life, pro-choice, but I am not concerned about things like overturning Rowe verses WAde for instance. It will not happen and God forbid if it did, it would simply put the decisions back into the hands of the states. Many said the same when Bush was running 8 years ago, look at how many juctices he has appointed and you haven't even seen a mentoin of changing many laws. I for one am ready to see a woman at the top or near the top and it aint Hillary or Nancy!!!!

Why is it so hard for people to realize English is the official language, you speak it, write it and read it..I can't understand why anyone should think ballots, of all things, should be written in more than one language. If you are an American citizen you should speak the language and if you are not you can't legally vote...Thanks for pointing out it has nothing to do with hatred...

Speaking your native tongue in your home or with your friends is one thing, I think all of us should be bi-lingual and yes, keep our culture to some degree, but this has nothing to do with speaking, reading and writing in English.
