Palin leaves town $19 million in debt

Want me to say it..

JOHN McCAIN will do a MUCH BETTER job as president than George Bush and and even better job than Barack Obama ever could. As for drilling in the Artic, well too late we already do. If your talking about ANWR then your not talking about drilling in the whole thing anyway. Have you ever even seen where they are talking about? It's not the picture of birds chirping and beautiful tree's and moose and polar bear running around. I know that drilling there won't fix everything, but then again, it sure is a start down a road to our OWN energy future rather than this pie in the sky, we all will be driving fuel cell cars and have solar homes and wind powering it. While thats a noble and absolutly wonderful goal it is still a goal and I believe we need to have every option available to get there. On the 4 million jobs thing if your making reference to the NYT op-ed piece there is a huge glaring omission there which is par for the course for the NYT. Don't you think the jobs small business creates are jobs too? I do?

Thats how you rationalize it? Blame it on the voters of the town? Isn't she supposed to know this is bad then and not even put it up for a vote if she's ready to be their leader?

You Repub's just keep proving our point, and by the way, Pre- George Bush Andrew Sullivan was a Republican and is now an Independent so please don't scream that "Liberal media bias" BS

he's just mad over gay marriage

who?
i couldnt care less if gays get married
my stance on that issues is we need to get the government completely out of the marrige bussiness, its a religious cermony and the first amendment says that the government cant regulate religion

It's not a religious ceremony.The authority to perform a marriage is conferred by the STATE.

Remember "by the power vested in me by the state of _____________"...

now, no one should or could force a church to marry anyone it doesn't want to... but churches (and their acolytes) sure can't tell the state to discriminate.

And that's really what the argument boils down to.

Then why did it take so long for him to get in office. He is 72 years old, my god talk about a late bloomer. All the sudden this guy is the answer but he has been around since the first social security number was given out. I dont believe it. If he was so good then he would have been president many years ago. He is leftover's.

So even you think he is going to be president now js? I'm glad to see your comming around to reason. j/k Actually McCain did run for president in 2000 and because someone does not win the nomination that makes them by default not able to be president? By that logic then Barack Obama should not be a US Senator then. The fact is office holders win and lose elections and we vote for a president every 4 years. On the age thing, so I guess Joe is a little ancient then too yes? So why are you supporting that ticket then if age is an issue for you? I was responding to jillians question and I gave her a straight answer on the McCain question as to , if I thought he would be a better president than George Bush.

McCain is 72 years old, has had cancer 5 times, and is on 5 different medications.

He may not make it to November.

When Palin took over Wasilla, the town had no long-term debt. By the time she was done, debt service had increased by 69 percent, the town had close to $19 million in long-term debt, making the debt around $3000 per capita. And the Mccain campaign is asking us - seriously - to consider her a fiscal conservative.

She is a Bush-Cheney fiscal conservative: low taxes, unprecedented new spending, utter incompetence, endemic cronyism and massive debt.

How about this, spambot...

Estimates of the budget surplus by early next year range from $5 billion to $9 billion, a huge amount in a state of 670,000 people. Spending it -- or saving it for a day when oil is not so plentiful or expensive -- is one of the central policy issues confronting the administration of Palin, the running mate of Republican presidential nominee John McCain.Palin gives and saves amid big Alaska surplus - Los Angeles Times
