So, if Gays are Lima Beans, What are Socialists?
16 04 2009OK, we’ve heard the “gays are lima beans” analogy from Attorney General nominee Wayne Anthony Ross.
Now, here’s another odd food analogy from Congressman Don Young at the “Tea Party” in Wasilla yesterday. Apparently socialists are consomme.
And what the heck is “interpaneurspiship”?
Don Young says socialism has never worked, because he was raised that way. I guess he’s never used the library, or the roads, or the fire department, or the police, or went to public school.

To bad there is not a live feed of her speech tonight as Pallin too will be pissed!!
———————————–
I saw in comments on c4p someone alluding to a feed of her tonight….I had to see what they were saying after the WAR rejection. They are not happy campers

BPOINT, my reading of the law is NO!
April 16th, 2009 at 2:08 PM
Oh Jeez. I go to eat dinner and look what happens. You guys did some great work there also. All the emails and letters and determined driving home how totally unqualified WAR is. Pats on the back all around. There. Also. Too. Thank you for the live blogging. This was more exciting than the World Series!

Thanks to a commentor on PA, here is a link with the vote count: http://www.newsminer.com/news/2009/apr/16/alaska-legislature-rejects-palin-ag-nominee/

Power to the Pajama Clad Bloggers! and honest caring Legislators and ALL the progressive AK BLOGS!!!
And now a round of thanks to all legislators who took the time to read the emails and letters and calls from the people they represent. This is a wonderful validation of the concerns of the Alaska Natives and the lives they wish to lead. It would be a great tragedy for that to be lost just as it is a tragedy every time a wolf is killed and a whale is killed and a little tiny seabird is not considered important enough to be protected. Keep it up all you good people!!!

Truely, I’m so relieved over this, I’m from Juneau and I am not as concerned about the Senate seat as I was with this. I think a lot of people here feel the same way. This was clearly another looney tune move by the Governor. Ross has opened Pandora Palin’s bag of tricks and shown more Alaskans what’s inside her heart. Yep, Sarah has the ability to stir up with the wingnuts and have them attack the freedom of speech of her Alaskan constituency on the internet. She’s so predictable, this happened during the rural crisis, also. She had them up their divisiveness on the ADN blogs during the rural crisis and that’s when they started their abuse pattern. Her possee also sends clarification teams into the blogs which she does everytime she puts her foot in her ethically arrogant mouth.

There is something very different about this win!! And a win it definitely is. The election was monumental but I think this even tops that feeling. I believe it is because republicans didn’t rubber stamp this one just to side with a republican governor. They voted for the people of Alaska. It is a win for everyone who cares about democracy. If the lesgislature in Alaska can do it – we can too! It gives everyone new hope.

I think he meant entre-manure-ship

Gotta wonder about 2 things:
1) What is Doogan thinking about the power of the blogger?
and
2) are the IMPEACH PALIN signs still up????
April 16th, 2009 at 5:52 PM
I’d also like to see HUGE SIGNS go up that say “WHERE IS THE FBI” – IMPEACH PALIN!

So Don, if socialism never worked, then of course you are against the Permanent Fund Dividend. Go ahead, Don. I dare you to publicly bash the Permanent Fund Dividend program. Also, you must be against the Indian Health Service and opposed to the Alaska Native Medical Center. Go ahead, Don. I dare you cut that socialist program – you know, the one that Lou’s relatives in Ft Yukon use. And my goodness, Social Security, how could you let Social Security survive? Come out for cutting Social Security, big Don. Don’t be shy. You owe yourself a little pleasure. Cut those evil socialist programs.
