Time Magazine reveals the real Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin may be a lot of things, like a religious wacko ("Iraq is a mission from God", and not mention her church up until five years ago spoke in tounges), or a pathological liar (I was against the bridge to nowhere), but one thing she is not is a fiscal conservative. Not that that really matters anyway considering the record of our most recent "fiscal conservatives". See graphic below...

Time Magazine had this to say about Ms. Palin's abysmal record:

Of the 50 states, Alaska ranks No. 1 in taxes per resident and No. 1 in spending per resident. Its tax burden per resident is 2 1/2 times the national average; its spending, more than double. The trick is that Alaska's government spends money on its own citizens and taxes the rest of us to pay for it. Although Palin, like McCain, talks about liberating ourselves from dependence on foreign oil, there is no evidence that being dependent on Alaskan oil would be any more pleasant to the pocketbook.

What Do You Think About Bringing Barack Obama to the Neshoba County Fair?

Reader "gorjus":

You know what we need? We need Senator Obama to come speak at Neshoba. Talk about inverting the Reagan paradigm. Come on, Cottonmouth, make it happen!!

Quotes from folks at Musgrove's Gulfport Announcement

I asked a couple folks to comment on why Musgrove would be their best choice. Here are their responses:*

"He's the right man for the job. He has integrity. He's a visionary. He will not benefit the few at the expense of the many."
- Andrew "FoFo" Guilich

"Governor Musgrove had a very strong interest in the Gulf Coast during the time he was Governor. He probably spend as much time helping the Coast as all other governors in the past quarter century combined. We need a leader in the majority party in the Senate. An issue of the Coast's and state's economic security because the Coast is here so many federal installations, jobs, and contracts that are dependent on our having influence in Washington. We've been lucky to have two good leaders in Senator Trent Lott and Senator Thad Cochran who came along in the Reagan era when Republicans were in charge. Now Democrats are in charge likely for the next generation."
- Leonard Blackwell
