I don’t think I have ever voted a straight ticket just can’t do it .If I don’t think someone will do the job or and sometimes it comes down to I just do not like their attitude or the way the put things forth,say, makes me think they are not telling the truth or putting people on I will not vote for them. I think the idea of purple is just fine if you get good people in office

pvazwindy thanks for an intersting link. This line just jumped out at me:

“But after hackers broke into her personal Yahoo email account, the lieutenant governor said his daily communications came to a halt as the governor had to cancel the account.”

How is the Lt Gov just admits that he and Palin were in violation of state laws requiring all state business to be conducted on state accounts and nothing happens? I just don’t get the blantant violation of Alaskan law and the failure of anyone do to anything about it. Sounds like from the article he will be Palin 2.0, now with twice the experince and intelligence but none of the charisma.

Odd that Sarah would suggest that teen-agers work hard to help out our economy — or themselves — or what?
In light of the fact that 2 of her teens were so idle, one had to commit vandalism on public property and be shunted off to the Army, and one had to lie down with her boyfriend without protection, ensuring that she, at least for the next 18 yrs, would be working hard.
It appears that Bristol and Willow have begged off being present at Sarah’s latest public speaking forays, maybe they have seen the light . Alas, Sarah refuses to see the light.
Quite a sales pitch though, “watch for my flying fingers when I will no longer be hampered by State rules for twittering and I can really be politically incorrect, boy oh boy will I dish the dirt, don’t wait, sign up now. Look Dick look, look Jane look.”
One can only expect a great big thud, as nothing she has said she’ll do, has she done, why would this be any different?

Sarah Palin, deep down inside, is just Anna Nicole Smith.

Hey now… anna nicole was just a drug addict. No need to insult her in that fashion.

HistoryGoddess Says:
But, I think the scrutiny extends well outside AK now. I couldn’t count how many times AKM or one of the others exposed something, and mudpuppies from all states checked up on how their own states were doing in that area.

So true. Amazing how a few bloggers from one of the most geographically remote states can have such an impact on national issues. Yayyyy, Alaskan bloggers!!!!

She sounds like big brother and the socialist slogans from 1984 by Orwell.

History Goddess #104 “I like that AKM is shooting for a bluish shade of purple. We need lots of views and ideas. I have never voted all D, nor all R.”

I agree!! Neither party should expect to get everyone’s vote. In a perfect world, there would be progressives, moderates, conservatives, whatever, in each party, with folks voting on the person that fills the needs of that moment. Doesn’t seem to work that way, though, does it?

On SP’s recent tweets, “No time to waste; teach US youth to avoid idleness; they can lead new American Industrial Revolution with/WORK and embrace “Buy American” mission.

Just wondering if U.S. youth are really that idle. The party animals, yes, over-indulged youth, maybe. And, in some cases, latchkey kids with one parent who have no role models, (where in some of these cases, they need more than cheap talk about “pull yourself up by your bootstrap”. But, most have a good work ethic. And, what is the new American Industrial Revolution?

Am scratching my head.

Next SP tweet, that perplexes me: “Time does fly! Work hard so you can genuinely enjoy every recreation minute! Avoid time spent tearing down, whining, complaining; WORK AND ENJOY

Kettle calling pot black feels the need to tell people to work hard? Look around, everyone is working pretty darned hard. Many don’t earn over $100,000/year, and don’t complain, whine that their boss doesn’t like them. They have no options, no book deals, no second income potential. Maybe they don’t have extended family support. Enjoy every recreation minute? Funny how a representative of a diverse State loves to preach on how to invest one’s time. Some don’t have planes, second homes, summer retreats, land, lakeside property. Statistics this year show many are staying home due to the economy, and why do they need to hear Gov. Sarah Palin recommend time off? Sounds like the new cheerleader for “summer fun”. Don’t know if she’s aware that her suggestions for “fun” at this time can be hurtful to many in different salary brackets.

I know a lot of folks who have to “sell” their annual vacation days because they desperately need the money

As an outsider, I feel Alaskans’ pain when I read these tweets.
