I say... follow the dirty money and those who have yet to have their witches removed.

This should be in the bag for Begich when all is said and done.

They knew Stevens, they knew Young, and they knew Palin. They knew McCain selected Palin, thus knowing his judgement. They weren't going to come out for Barack because 1) he is mulatto and 2) they want ANWAR open to drilling to increase the state's universal dole from oil revenues.

So a large number stayed home.

Post from Mudflats in Alaska on the count at the blue name.

If we were smart we'd sell Alaska back to the Russians and be done with it. They're up there all alone with no one watching them....no telling what kind of bizarre stuff goes on up there. And try as I might, I can't think of any reason Alaska would have less people turning out to vote this time around. Someone might ought to poke around in the frozen tundra and see if there's not a few hundred thousand ballots buried in a shallow grave.

What can we do if we find out the whole state is corrupt? I'm trying to resist the urge to saw off Texas, Florida, and Alaska and let them float out to sea to bother someone else for a while.

Sounds like Alaska is Louisiana in a parka. (Sorry, Max)

GROW UP KINKO'S. ALASKA IS NOT A WELFARE STATE. BETTER DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
CANT STAND IT BECAUSE PALIN HAS IT ALL BUT WEALTH... GO BACK TO THE HEIGHTS AND
STRUT YUR STUFF.

YOUR KEEPER MUST BE ON A SMOKE BREAK. WE'LL WAIT FOR HER TO COME BACK.

Not only can she see Russia from here back yard but she and the others can emulate Russian politics too! Good goin' Sarah, you betchya!

Alaska. A large state. Would be a great place for somebody who always types in LARGE PRINT.
May I suggest Juneau. THAT'S THE CAPITAL. GET IT?? (CAPITAL LETTERS)
HA! I CRACK ME UP.
MAYBE I'LL JUST KEEP TYPING MEANINGLESS BULLSHIT HERE IN ALL CAPS JUST TO IRRITATE THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF EVERYBODY!
Sorry. I lost it there for a second, but I'm OK now.

Usually a voice the Ignorance Choir draws no attention from me other than to poke fun.
However this one is beneath Ignorance, it's beneath contempt:

>>GROW UP KINKO'S. ALASKA IS NOT A WELFARE STATE.<<

In fact Alaska is a leading welfare state.

"Here are the Top Ten Welfare States (note: just about 100% Red States)

1. New Mexico- $2.03

2. Mississippi- $2.02

3. Alaska- $1.84

4. Louisiana- $1.78

5. West Virginia- $1.76

6. North Dakota- $1.68

7. Alabama- $1.66

8. South Dakota- $1.53

9. Kentucky- $1.51

9. Virginia- $1.51

10. Montana- $1.47

My Friends, that is the Redistribution of Wealth Top Ten.

That's right.

For each dollar those states pay to the Feds, that's what they Get Back.

Talk about "Welfare."

Confused? Seriously?

Okay.

For every $1.00 Mississippi pays in Federal Taxes, they Receive $2.02 in Return (That's Chimpy Math).

Get it Now?"

Arkansas? No. 14, right in there with other welfare states...

Got that Gomer? Not that facts ever bothered your ignorant Fat Ass.

Do the clicky for the entire list.

.

Ah, eLwood. You never fail to remind me that Arkansas ranks near the bottom in education. Bless your heart, I know you can't help it.

The list you provide relates to Federal Spending in general, not just welfare. If you want to classify ALL federal spending as welfare, then you should switch parties.

If you want to find out more about the distribution of welfare itself, here's a link:

As you can see, Alaska does indeed have a fairly high "per capita" ranking, but still falls below states such as Rhode Island, California and Maine.

Poor eLwood. Someone help him.

Welfare state: Let's see.

Alaska is the only state that sends each citizen an annual check in excess of $2,000.

Alaska is the only state that raised taxes on oil companies and sent each citizen an additional check in excess of $1,000.

Does that make Alaska a welfare state, or just socialist?

Large, you're right. Our good neighbors of the far north earn every cent they spend:

"On top of the $150,000 first outlined in Federal Election Commission filings, Palin spent 'tens of thousands of dollars' on additional clothing, makeup and jewelry for herself and her family, including $40,000 in luxury goods for her husband, Todd, our colleague Michael Shear reports. The campaign was charged for silk boxer shorts, spray tanners and 13 suitcases to carry all the designer clothes, according to two GOP insiders."

Nosireebob, no welfare there, not for the First Dude. He earns his silk boxers fair and square, just like Joe Six Pack.

Click on blue name for a lengthy and detailed analysis of native Eskimos, federal welfare, Ted Stevens, enormous corporate loopholes, and the details of the federal involvement with Alaska's economy. It will give you an idea of how crooked Stevens was and why his pork projects earned him so many votes despite his illegal actions.
