We have the same problem in Russia, only on bigger scale. All these subarctic regions exist only due federal spending. But they return it in oil and natural gas revenues. No alternative policy is viable in these climate zones. If you think that millions square miles of tundra with a tiny population could ever fund anything from income tax, you are crazy.

It's probable his post would have criticized you regarding the teleprompter story even if you hadn't mentioned it. He's either a paid Obama shill or an eager amateur (who's just trying to help).

They are playing a con game and have - for the first time since the Contract with America - been called on it. Palin *is* that instead of pretending to be. I don't know if that idea hasn't sunk in yet, if they believe she must be a *really really* good liar, or if they truly believe if they repeat it enough it will someone how magically be true (especially if they use the word "crony" all the time - that seems a particular favorite). Go on, convince us that politicians who push for high taxes and high spending should not be voted for - please, shout it to the sky. It didn't work well with Reagan nor did it work with the Contract with America and it isn't going to work here. Your MUCH better off attacking things that differentiate her from your side.

I said it had a scrolling problem. I was relying on <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0908/The_teleprompter_did_not_break.html?showall" rel="nofollow">this</a>, which gives the least extreme version of the story. There's little question there was some sort of teleprompter scroll problem. The only controversy is how severe it was. Markg8: Never said the teleprompter broke. I said it had a scrolling problem.

By link, I mean one associated with the actual town government, not some left wing blog. If so, I'll look at the data objectively. According to SP, Alaska is now running a surplus. Why the need for bonds? Again, can you show the data where you are right and the governor of that state is wrong? I will be surprised if I get a response from our friend mark. I suspect that this was a hit and run posting, and our friend has moved on to other blogs after compiling a list from Google. markg8:

Gotta keep him scripted. Really makes you wonder why he never bothered to learn that skill. It comes in handy for a politician. As for her speech being scripted, I recognized a number of bits from her speech on Friday. I believe we are hearing parts of her normal stump speech, which I seriously doubt was scripted by any of the regular script writers. I believe she is capable of writing her own material. That will be proven out during the debates. And my, isn't it interesting how the Obama fans are out trying to dampen the enthusiasm? Guess they figure that only they are allowed to be excited about this election. Too bad! Hey, Obama can’t even talk without the teleprompter. Gotta keep him scripted.

Another white elephant from another white elephant. Even with the stable Clinton economy during most of her mayoral tenure and Jack Abramoff's crony she hired to lobby Washington to help her now indicted buddy Ted Stevens ring up $27 million in federal pork for tiny Wasilla (pop. 5000 when she entered office) she still managed to leave the town swimming in debt. She was so heavy handed the town's folk forced her to hire an administrator to handle day to day operations or face a recall. As governor she is borrowing from Alaska's future while she wants to give away today's Alaskan windfall oil tax bonanza and the huge surpluses they've generated in bread and circuses tax giveaways. Alaska gets 89% of it's operating budget from taxing oil coming out of the ground just like Arab kingdoms and Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. They have no state income or sales tax up there. Instead of using that windfall to pay for all the profligate spending her Republican legislature keep sending her she's issuing bonds to pay for it all which Alaskans and US taxpayers will have to pay off in future years while she takes credit for tax "rebates" while she's governor. Her fiscal policy is a disaster in the making which won't hit til she's left the governor's office. She'd be a disaster as Vice President especially to a President who despite his grevious wounds and type A personality is already past the age his father and grandfather died of sudden heart attacks. She can put on all the lipstick she wants but her political record is for the dogs. P.S. The teleprompter broke story is a lie. Don't you ever get tired of being lied to?
