And I sure hope their “STAR” candidate gets to return to Alaska..as..A LOSER…........

It is really good to know that we have sent so much money to Alaska from the home land security fund, while armed mexican sodiers cross the border in military vehicles with mounted machine guns protecting drug traffickers and doing who knows what in john mcains home stae of Arizona. So much for the war on drugs and home land security.Just another good joke from the people who brought you the fall of America.

Outraged:

President Sarah Palin

Since it is Halloween, I thought I say something REALLY scary…..

**** VICE-PRESIDENT SARAH PALIN ****

Michael Moore on http://www.democracynow.org said later in his 1 hr interview with Amy that if that ain´t socialism what is…commenting on how every Alaskan received money from tax revenues.  The Republicans really have a twisted view on socialism.

I live in a donor state (puts in more dollars into the Fed than it gets out) and I think the beggar states suck. I am also surprised that this is not more of an issue with donor state voters. Alaskans, most of the Bible belt states live off of the larges of the states they hate. It’s time to ask for our money back.

Ask??  Heck, DEMAND our money back! Since Bush was a big practitioner of the “spoils system” I think we should take it back—let EVERY state get as much back from the feds as it puts in. And if there’s less, divide the burden equally.  So, nobody in Alabama or Alaska should be seeing $1.80 to $2.00 for every dollar they are taxed, and we in NJ should get back $1 for every $1 we send, not $0.65!

I’m pretty sure that is a small necessity to have a HAZ-MAT team/truck when you are the meth capital of the great white tundra. Several years ago in Dallas a neighbor got busted growing some weed. The DEA thought it was a meth lab they were busting and they had a full HAZ-MAT team brought in from Oklahoma in case it blew-up. In the end the only thing that blew-up was their case due to faulty warrants and the Feds bailing when they only found 8 plants in a closet.

In the beginning of the DHS grant process, the State Homeland Security Grant program allocated money to each state based upon a formula.  This money was administered by the states and passed along to local jurisdiction through various methods (formula or competitive grants).  There are also a number of “competitive” grant programs sponsored by DHS and FEMA.  I think these are where the rural states had an “unfair” advantage against their urban counterparts.

I’m a grant writer in a rural state and I’ve worked with many of the DHS-funded grant programs.  I see these programs as a way of “compensating” for years of underfunding of public safety agencies in rural areas.  Emergency services were never really a priority until 9/11 and then the federal and state governments realized most communities were woefully equipped and prepared.  Suddenly, these DHS grants open up and small communities in the middle of nowhere are getting hundreds of thousands of dollars for equipment because they were pitifully equipped and had no real means of remedying this disparity with local funds.  The communities I work with made wise investments in things like Enhanced 911, but the way the guidelines were written and the money was being distributed, there was a huge potential for money to be thrown awayon crap projects.

Of course politics plays a huge role in the process as well.  Politics influenced the writing of the guidelines that governed the distribution of funds.  If a rural state had influential federal representatives, it would get Homeland Security dollars.  As an insider into the process, I can say that in the area where I work, the money was used to make enhancements to public safety that most communities needed, but could not afford.  In 2006, the county where I live lacked enhanced 911, so if you called 911 and could not speak to dispatcher, you were screwed.  I feel safer know that if I dial 911, the dispatchers now have access to premises information via a computer display.  I think projects like this are worthy of the investments. Whether Podunkville needs four wheelers and mobile command centers with every bell and whistle is debatable.

Reason this admin colluded with the Georgian Pres to spark a conflict? Why McCain has their Lobbyist on staff as a ‘campaign’ advisor?
Reason the Picked this obscure no name as VP who already has delusions of granduer?
Of course how many of US actually Knew who Cheney was until he slitered out from under his shadowy rock. I’d never noticed him, and I have been accutely aware of a trend towards WW3 since Reagan.
No wonder they are claiming ‘Foreign Policy’ experience they have been gearing her stae up for a launch for the Next big War.
No wonder she ‘KNOWS’ we are no on the count Down to Armegeddon, she’s been intrical in it’s build up.
I often say I am an atheist, one for convenience not to have to explain my philosophy, but also to make it clear I do NOT beleive in their dogma they equate to their ‘God’. But in a weird way I am almost wishful their so called ‘Judgement day’ is at hand, but Not by Their ‘God’. I relish the idea that it is What will deem them Unworthy and Damned. Or at least I know I will not be getting on the same ‘bus’ as them thus I will not have to spend eternity with them- a bonus even if I were Hell bound.

More and more, I’m believing that if legislation is going to be passed to make it possible for municipalities and individuals to dip into the Federal treasury and people don’t take advantage of it, they have little justification in complaining about banks dipping into the Fed. treasury (our money) for a trillion buck lollipop or the DOD doing the same. 

That’s why I fully support earmarks and pork.  As long as it’s there, and our gov. wants to be altruistic, take advantage.  If you don’t like it that this state or that city got a 1/2 million for one project or another, call your rep and ask him/her “when the hell are you going to get us something?”  This is America, for god’s sake.  Or, if you’re a moral-type person, call him/her and give ‘em hell for being so free with your hard-earned tax money.  And then, grovel.

S.P. can help assure her re-election as Alaska Gov. by promising that it’s her goal to not only get more federal pork for Alaska, but to bring home the whole damn pig. 

Like the guy said, if we don’t take it, someone else will.  Spread the Wealth.  Yea, socialism.

Red states love to talk about cutting out government programs but they are the first in line for EVERYTHING they can get.

Most red states are being subsidized by us blue staters: For every dollar we send the Feds in NJ, they spend about 65 cents in NJ.  For every dollar Alaska sends the Feds, THEY get $1.82.  In red state after red state this is true.

They are happy to be rugged independents and spit at coastal liberals as “lib’rals” and “socialists” but they’d be Third World without us!
