State troopers in Alaska are quite unique. And to be honest, you don't NEED that many state troopers.

Kinda funny, but Jon Stewart had someone on discussing state troopers in Alaska a while back.

Go watch it and have a look.

I don't know honestly. It could be to put the money where it's needed: in the residential areas. But I've been to Alaska. Not many big residential areas. (but I have a feeling I'm wrong as I'm no expert.)

Not everyone accuses Obuma of 'flip-flopping'. There are times where he may become more educated on issues and change his mind. That goes with the territory. ALL politicians do that - sometimes because they truely have learned something and are doing what they feel is right, other times because they are letting the polls lead them. The point is, when a politician changes his mind or position, it isn't always referred to as 'flip flopping.'

And frankly, I don't think you really believe that Palin is a flip-flopper. I think you (and the vast majority of the Obama supporters) are very scared right now and don't quite know how to react to the McCain-Palin ticket.

Seriously, I have never seen the Dems this desperate and panicked in a LOOONG time.

Palin is a flip-flopper over the state trooper story?

HELLOOOOAH???

Ever hear of the FISA bill that Obama pledged to filibuster and instead voted for?

Since her primary goal seems to be putting creationism in schools, I think the question is much simpler than can you trust her.

The choice is whether you wish to live in a Theocracy or go back to the pursuit of a more democratic nation with equality and freedom of religion by for and of the people.

Those of you who may be swayed by the religious pull, should consider who's religion will ultimately be the only religion, and the enforcer of the new religious law.

I would no more wish to live under the rule of the Bush / McCain religion than Sharia law.

Be extremely careful what you choose, I believe you will actually get it this time around.

Senator McCain and Gov. Palin may be well-paid politicians who can pay for their fancy shoes


but it is *US* who will pay for their flip flops


i dunno who said it - i just remember hearing it

and its so unbelievably true
