She would probably be a great friend of the trades and the working man. Not all republicans can be painted with the same brush. Its too bad that anybody who comes along also brings Wall Street with them to the Whitehouse.

Good analogy.

Thanks Miller, Her roots are not necissarily all that republican. She has some very independent roots going back to association with people from the AIP (Alaska Independence Party). She has also taken the the head of the Alaskan Republican Party to task, cost him to resign his job, and a $12,000 fine. She goes to bat for the the people who elected her, not one to roll over and be a party hack.

She kept our state busy, and the a "trust but verify", attitude with the oil companies. That is as much as I can hope for, from any politician, regardless of their stripes.

Heading to work in 10 minutes - snow on the ground, and somewhere in the 20's this morning...gonna get a whole lot colder!

To the OP,

We are at a crossroads, and it's all about a gas line. So keep your contacts alive. IF we get a gasline, there will be lots of work, and mega-overtime. the whole state is riding on the bet... Hopefully it's it's just a matter of time.

Your timing/perception is good !

Right now, not working for my favorite contractor, but it pays the bills, and am greatful to be busy this winter (providing we don't shut down for some unforseable problem - like funding).

As in the NG pipeline? Is that going to be out of Valdez? We have been waiting on an LNG terminal and pipelines down here, but nobody wants it to go in, because it is just to feed California. Don't get me wrong though, you can never go wrong building common sense infrastructure for energy and transportation.

I would like to see the gold mines open back up, now that the dollar is low and gold is so high in price.

Palin, Bush, Obama, Clinton, McCain, all bow down to there corporate pay masters and do nothing but let industry write all the rules and regulations for themselves. Palin's way of taking on the oil companies was to ask them what they wanted and then give it to them....WOW. That is leadership. But she can gut a moose....

The United Corporations of America, control everything, from who get elected to congress to the very news stories that get reported.

If your interested in finding the truth....TURN OFF YOUR RADIO.

Watch a YOUTUBE clip of Congressman Grayson asking the CEO of Citi Group Corp about the TARP bailout money they recieved....and listen to the anwser for yourself......I warn you though......You will not here anything like this from Glenn Beck, Rush Limbagh, Sean Hannity or any of the Republican's or Conservatives who CLAIM to care so much about the taxpayers...... Taxpayers carried 90% of the loses and Citi Group was given 100% of the profits.....Thats Good Republican Government.....

By the way, the Obama Bailout that came later for the Auto Industry is just as bad........
