Comments on: Response to Palin’s Stimulus Rejection & Rally at the Loussac Library Tomorrow! http://www.themudflats.net/2009/03/20/response-to-palins-stimulus-rejection-rally-at-the-loussac-library-tomorrow/ Tiptoeing Through the Muck of Alaskan Politics Sat, 20 Mar 2010 01:47:19 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Rob in Ca http://www.themudflats.net/2009/03/20/response-to-palins-stimulus-rejection-rally-at-the-loussac-library-tomorrow/#comment-28968 Rob in Ca Sat, 21 Mar 2009 18:08:47 +0000 http://www.themudflats.net/?p=2288#comment-28968 The 'Stimulus to Nowhere' Sarah's political ploy is so blatant, it is laughable. To the media, she says she rejects the stimulus money (exaggerating the amount while she is at it, for maximum future campaign points). At the same time, she tells the legislature that she is quite willing to take it as long as they force her to. (All that is left is for her to ask them to please force her to, since that is what she wants.) Just like the Bridge to Nowhere funds. "Give me the political points for saying no...but for God's sake give me the Money!" The ‘Stimulus to Nowhere’

Maybe it's time for Alaskans to plan a series of rallies, in addition to short-notice hot-topic rallies like this one. If GINO has to walk through a crowd of angry citizens whenever she steps outside her Juneau or Anchorage office, it will rattle her and make her angry, which always leads to some good whining.

I expect mudflatters who are present at the rally to take lots of pictures. Please. Our Republican governor hugged Obama and stuck his hand out for the money (Ahnold), so no rallies for us. We'd be happy to take that Alaska money off your hands if GINO finds it so distasteful. California is currently down around 48th place for money spent per child on education, so those dollars are most welcome. Has all the media been informed of the rally?

I assume it road money for her pet project the gas line. So Alaska, you have a choice now. You can keep a governor that does not believe in education, after telling countless parents of special needs kids how she fights for them in her state. Or you could impeach/unseat her before 2010 so she can start her campaign for President early. Your choice and the lower 48's are waiting!!!!!
