Personally, I'll be doing everything I can to ensure that Sarah Palin continues as your governor. If the McCain campaign would allow her to face some semi-tough questioning from the press, some of the burnish might come off the legend of Palin-as-governor. (Charles Gibson and Katie Couris took it easy on her, in my opinion. And she came off looking less-than-competent.) For example: The pipeline deal was signed, it's true, but is years away from happening, and may never happen. As a Republican state legislator put it in September, There is no requirement to lift one shovel of dirt or lay down one inch of steel." Part of the reason is that she needs the cooperation of the oil companies. She's pissed them off--many would say good for her for doing so--but that puts the pipeline deal in jeopardy. She can't have it both ways: Sarah the reformer and Sarah the deal-maker. And from what I've read, many of the legislators who initially supported her deal aren't so sure any more.

Do you actually think he or any other Senator spends much time on the computer composing anything?? Ever hear of "Staffers", they do that stuff. Chinese health care is a joke.

While she is obviously not as skilled a politician as you would like, Sarah Palin got a LNG pipeline deal signed that has been the goal of half a dozen administrations here in Alaska. She has a very high approval rating here and if she comes back to Alaska as Gov. I don't think she runs much chance of impeachment. Unlike some. The most recent pro-Obama ad running here in AK says that McCain has no plans for tax-relief for the middle class, but later in the same commercial Obama states he'll provide "three times the relief my opponent proposes for the middle class". Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't three times zero still zero As for NoObama's financial advisors, two words to that point: Franklin Raines Monte _________________________________________________________________ You live life beyond your PC.

Monte - Thank you for the kind comments. You're a strong man. As for McCain... His war injuries are no excuse. Limited use of his hands? Perhaps his doctor should explain this. From the McCain himself [SF Chronicle interview] he said: "It's changing the information age, and I've got to stay up with it." Also "I am forcing myself... let me put it this way, I am using the computer more and more every day." "It's not as if I'm out of the loop," he said. "I understand the criticism, but I don't think it's fair." I have friends in far worse shape than McCain. One ex-Navy friend discharged due to MS. An attorney that's a quadriplegic that uses a stick in his mouth and other things to help him use a computer. If McCain is suggesting his war injuries prevent his brain from working... Staff? Give me a break. As a Senator--a legislator--you'd think he'd be proficient in email, Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, Powerpoint...instead the dinosaur is as stale and inspiring as an old leather boot. Sorry, Monte. There are people 80+ years old learning the computer today. Right now. Unfortunately, McCain is too old and rigid in his thinking to demonstrate he can affect change. He has a bad temper which also makes sense. Chinese healthcare? Top quality care in Beijing, yes. I experienced an extraordinarily pleasant dental visit in Shanghai. Had wonderful treatment in extremely rural Mongolia (ok, not exactly rural China, I know) treating a broken collar bone...for $10. I'm not sure where you're coming from with the China bit...now on to Palin. Palin is NOT my idea of leadership. She is appallingly as under- educated as she is enthusiastically misguided with her rah! rah! speeches. She has a 17-yr old pregnant daughter and a father-to-be dropping out of high school! That is just a brilliant model. Is this the poster for responsibility you guys have in Alaska? I doubt she's likely to get impeached either. She is doing some good things in your state; admittedly I don't know them all. However, there are bigger forces at work in Alaska than Governor Sara Palin alone. She was just the spearheard attached to the pole... Ted Stevens and Big Oil have ruled Alaska like dictators and the party is about to end abruptly. I'm sure you and I can argue he's done some good things for Alaska which should overshadow his graft and corruption. By the way, can you see Russia from your house? Is it true Putin rears his ugly head? Palin claims Putin comes through Alaska every time he comes to America. Funny, I would bet he flies west from Moscow to Washington, DC avoiding Alaska altogether. Anyway, we've covered a lot of material here...to the point I'm not sure what we're arguing. Obama will be a huge change for this country and the world. Unfortunately, the GOP is a mess. Somehow a monkey got into the office and pushed all the wrong buttons. McSame is not going to be the charismatic leader we need. Palin was a poor choice in judgement from what I'll call a desperate candidate. Unfortunately, I can't guarantee Obama is going fix everything for everyone. I wish I could be certain but can't. I'll get behind him in order to get the country going forward. We're all going to have to push together. The alternative is dire: a stale, temperamental McCain (at odds with his own GOP let alone the Donkeys) and less than my desired choice for VP. McCain he's been in the Senate for nearly a quarter century; clearly it's where he belongs. Palin is a lucky governor, and I'd rather not see her leave Alaska especially if you're happy with her. Call it my gift to you. As for financial advisers, I'll worry about that...next. The bottom-line is even I'm growing tired of the corruption and short- term greed-at-all-costs mentality. I think we all are. Things will chance and improve if first we believe. I think we are on the cusp of some really exciting times, but you of all people know the rain comes before the rainbow. Of course, this is my opinion. If I were some greater power, we wouldn't be in this mess. --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "monte quint" wrote:

You're right the "Political Arguing Season" is upon us for about 3 more wks. Then we go into my favorite time of year: The "Recreational Arguing Season" or RAS as it is known here in Ketchikan. Thanks for both the on and off forum responses. Monte

and if you re-read the original quote you will see that he is refering to a countries cuisine not a race's cuisine. not sure why that even has to be explained. i guess because the squeeky low point pivot gets the grease.

Actually when I lived in Brainerd, MN about 16 years ago, the Department of Health closed down the very popular Chinese restaurant in town because they caught them cooking up cats and dogs. What tipped them off was the sudden increase in missing pet reports to the Police Department which started shortly after the restaurant opened. True story! Ross Lindberg
