I think we don't have no paved roads and such because the ex gov. didn't know our island is part of the state of Alaska, thought we were Africa I guess.

Tell ya what. The winter before last, the people of the Yukon Delta were in literal crisis mode. A carton of eggs cost $22. There were no salmon for them that year because of some pesky little federal regulations.

The governor was chasing every camera in site while the people had no pork chops to eat.
I do hope you realize I don't really want my money back. It was hyperbole.

And if things are that bad for so many in Alaska, all I want to know from Wailin Palin is, what the hell is Alaska doing with their multi-billion dollar surplus if they're letting people starve??? If I were a starving Alaskan, I'd be outraged over that.

I bet there's more than a few of us Alaskans would be happy to let the feds keep all their money if we could have our land back. With all the resources going down south from this state we'd be the richest per-capata country in North America. We could even pave our roads and let the Yupik's up north have their fish and survive.

I could say the same damn thing. I love Obama because he pisses off the right. GROW UP!
Of course this thread is ridiculous...look at the OP. As someone else noted..shrill, shrieking frontal attack on Palin. For what?

Oh yeah, responding to a dig by Arnie. (As an aside, look at the heading by CNN.."Palin Blasts Schwarzennegger". You call that tweet a 'blast'?).

So yeah, it is funny to see how enraged and frothing the left will get at the mere mention of her name. Don't want to hear people defend her? Stop picking up every crumb and using it to vent against her. Sheesh.

We were outraged, even the non starving among us.

This was only happening in a few Native Villages along the Yukon--didn't really affect most of us. Private donations took care of them.

I am mad because I live in California and Sarah Palin, being a hypocrite, is showing she's even stupider for calling out someone for staying in office their whole term while she was off spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on clothes, running for VP, worrying about Levi johnston, then quits, now she wants a reality show on TLC or Discovery channel. The bi*ch is nothing but an attention wh*re.

You really need to run for governor of California, if you want to prove your aptitude is above Palin's. Otherwise, as you suggested in your original post, politely shut up.

Interesting - I stand corrected.

Palin has charisma, but there are scores of average citizens whose aptitude is indeed above Palin's.

But I guess if you consider the ability to rile up shi@storms from both the left and the right, then Palin scores high. She can put her trophy next to her beauty pageant crown. I am sure she thanks you for your defense and support.

Tell you what, I'll shut up about Sarah Palin as soon as Sarah Palin shuts up. Deal?
