Palin: The less money Alaska has, the better.
Palin: The less money Alaska has, the better.
During a recent interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) once again criticized President Obama for “spreading the wealth” while at the same time boasting that Alaska spreads its own wealth. “We have a share of our oil resource revenue goes back to the people who own the resources. Imagine that,” she said. But somewhat shockingly, later in the interview (and in a part that did not air on Hannity’s program last night) Palin actually said that she would rather have Alaska pull in less money in oil revenues that more:
HANNITY: The price of oil is going up again. It’s not quite at $140 a barrel, but it’s certainly on its way up to $70 and $80.
PALIN: Yeah, well and I thank God it’s not at $140. You know people say, “Hey, Alaska! Eight-five percent of your state budget is based on the price of a barrel of oil. Aren’t you glad the price is going up?” I say, “No!” The fewer dollars that the state of Alaska government has, the fewer dollars we spend. And that’s good for our families and for the private sector.
Watch it:
The Mudflats writes, “The less we have, the less we spend? And here we all were worried about the economy. So exactly how much of the 85% of our state budget does she wish will go away? Inquiring Alaskan minds want to know. Welcome to the 2012 election.”

And this is why I really wish the Republican Party would run her as their Presidential candidate in 2012. I think the Democrats would take all 50 states!
June 9th, 2009 at 8:43 pmWill the flailin Pailins blame Insannity for making this bimbo stupid the way they did Katie Couric? The woman is not ready for prime time. Send her back to the tundra and let the Pat Buchanans look at her pictures but please don’t punish us with her ignorance on a daily basis. Thx.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:43 pmCaribou Oil Cartel Barbie?
June 9th, 2009 at 8:43 pmMaybe Palin hopes Alaska state government would have fewer dollars from big oil so we progressives could stop pointing out 1.) the obvious hypocrisy in her saying the U.S. is headed toward socialism — at the same time she is governor of the most socialist state in the United States and 2.) the crazy illogic in just about everything she says.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:45 pmWhaaa? It’s normal for Republicans to treat macroeconomics as if it were a family budget, but arguing that having less money is a good thing? She could have at least argued for a lower price of gas in the lower 48 if she wanted to go in that direction.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:45 pmkasinca, I respectfully disagree. We want her ignorance on a daily basis. The more she blabbers, the more stupid she, and by association, the Republican party looks.

kasinca, I respectfully disagree
========================================================
Disagreement noted. I think most of us have decided that she is a wingnut. The rethugs are still going after their base and she is on the same intelligence level as the base. It just becomes tiresome to read ignorance on a progressive site everyday…sort of like tolerating trolls. I agree, it should help our cause for every group of voter with an IQ above room temperature.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:50 pmShe said the less money the alaskan government has, not the alaskan people. Jesus you libs are retarded.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:52 pmRepublicans don’t believe in goverment. Therefore, electing Republicans to government positions inevitably leads to disaster. In order to prove themselves right, they will attempt to sabotage the very government functions they are supposed to fulfill.
It would be like hiring Ralph Nader to be the CEO of General Motors. He believes their entire operation is evil, so he would probably do a bad job in the position.
The moral of the story: never vote for Republicans, for anything.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:57 pmkasinca,
Wingnut is actually being very kind in my opinion, but suitable for a public forum. I just look at it as comedy. Like reading Doonsbury, only funnier since it is unintentional.
And I agree it would be nice to have a site where the least intelligent people posting have triple digit IQ’s, but as long as there are Republicans, that won’t happen…
June 9th, 2009 at 8:58 pmJimmy Jacka$$ – you are one stupid fella – if the Alaskan government has less money, the Alaskan people will be affected by this and have less money.
Palin sounds as dumb as paint. With a high unemployment rate and natural disasters, I do believe Alaska needs to have more funds available. She’s just grandstanding at the expense of Alaskans.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:58 pmShe’s had a passport for LESS THAN TWO YEARS, and has never even set foot in a “socialist” country. She joked about getting a “D” in economics last year during the campaign. She thought that Nicolas Sarkozy would actually CALL HER while she was on the campaign trail and was pranked by several minutes in which she revealed exactly how ridiculous it would be to allow her contact with ANY foreign leader.
WTF? Is this REALLY the USA? Really?
June 9th, 2009 at 8:59 pmJimmy The Lock, the Alaskan people would have less money because they depend on the oil checks through the Alaskan government. What else can they depend on, good paying jobs? In Alaska? PFF!
June 9th, 2009 at 9:01 pmJBB, if the Alaskan state government has less money, it should be obvious to anyone but a fool that that means less money for unemployment, state highway/infrastructure projects, state jobs, public education, etc.
June 9th, 2009 at 9:03 pmSince Sarah and her ilk believe President Obama has made America into a socialist country, then why the hell are they still here then? Huh? I thought their mantra was ‘fascism or bust’? LOL We’ll have to ask her why she stays in Socialist America.
June 9th, 2009 at 9:04 pmHere’s the other nugget from Hannity’s interview:
Palin: We are the only state with a negative tax rate, where we don’t have any income, sales or property tax statewide, and yes we have a share of our oil resource revenue that goes back to the people that own the resources. Imagine that.
Hannity: And it went up higher since you’ve been the governor and you negotiated with the oil companies. That all went up so people get a bigger check.
Palin: There was a corrupt tax system up there and we had a couple of lawmakers end up in jail because of the tax system that was adopted so we cleaned it up and said we wanted a fair and equitable share of the resources that we own, and the people will share in those resource revenues that are derived.
Uh huh, and they call Obama a Socialist.
June 9th, 2009 at 9:04 pmJimmy Big Dummy, what if Alaska only had $5.68 in it’s coffers? How would this benefit this state?

Up yours jackass!!
June 9th, 2009 at 9:12 pmSarah Palin is vacuous. The longer she speaks the less she can remember what it is that she has already said.
A long interview with Palin (remember Katie Couric), is like the Charlie Mansion parole hearings; if you never saw one of these you should put it on your schedule.
Charlie begins impressively, but as the hearing goes on he begins to unravel until, after about twelve minutes, he is telling parole board member that he could kill them and not think twice about it. Listening to Palin isn’t that much different.
June 9th, 2009 at 9:13 pmAccording to Sarah Palin if you’re making $10/hr and your boss says, “Sorry pal, but I’m cutting $2 from your hourly wage!”, Sarah believes this is more money in the employee’s pockets! Yeah yeah, just like saying to the people of Alaska, “You know those billions the American people paid in taxes and it’s technically yours to begin with, because all tax money is the people’s money? Well, we’re not going to take it! We want the government to keep it! How’s that? We’re gonna be rich now because we’re not going to take any money in! We’re less for more!”.
June 9th, 2009 at 9:14 pmJimmy Dim Wit can’t think logically because he’s obsessed with what is behind her bra and under her panties. It’s a distraction he drools over.
June 9th, 2009 at 9:15 pmIn case anyone was too busy fantasizing about Sarah Palin last year to actually learn anything about her (i.e., Jimmy Big Bucks):

June 9th, 2009 at 9:16 pmGiven Alaska’s welfare state status, I believe We the People would be happy to comply with Princess Wasilla’s desire to have less money for her govenment.
Make the State of Alaska revenue-neutral. Currently, we are shoving an additional $.84 back at them for every dollar they pay into the Federal Gov’t. It won’t make much difference at the federal level as Alaska’s total population is only 660k, but I’d bet that slashing the state’s federal income nearly in half would have an impact on them.
And if the other Red Welfare State wingnuttery like the way Palin manages Alaska’s new and reduced economy, we’d be happy to make them revenue-neutral, too.

June 9th, 2009 at 9:19 pmI’m glad the interview was with Hannity because Palin can not yell foul and claim that the left/liberal media is making her look bad. Palin is her own worst enemy.
I was hoping she would travel, take some political science courses and just read books. Good grief – for her own sake, Palin needs to STFU. Do it for the kids! LOL

And in the quote badmoodman provided, she then bragged about how she increased the government’s share of income from oil. Which, apparently, they shouldn’t spend because that would be bad.

It would be a huge tactical error to let her do interviews in an actual Presidential election and the McCain campaign either screwed up completely or threw her under the bus when they allowed her to do any interviews last year — or they had no control over her.
Give her a speech and let her throw raw meat to the GOP hardcore and she’ll do fine (with them). Just don’t ever put her in a position where she has to answer questions or think on her feet — not that the Wingers would notice what a disaster she is, but independents certainly would.

Oh, totally agree, Kay! Given that California receives only $.70 for every dollar paid, they basically donate $.30 of each dollar to keep welfare states like Palin’s afloat. And since California’s GDP would rank #10 in the world if they were their own country, that’s some big charity on their part.

He made his thoughts abundantly clear when he mentioned a long list of possible GNOP candidates and intentionally didn’t mention Palin. (I think it was on Letterman)

Sometimes keeping things simple is the best method. Sarah Palin is quite possibly the stupidest person on the face of the Earth.
She may not be the stupidest person on earth, but she is the most ignorant one I’m aware of who is so incapable of introspection that she is incapable of recognizing just how much she doesn’t know. She did refuse to accept stimulus money meant to fund, among other education programs, special education services for children like her own.

June 9th, 2009 at 11:51 pmOT, but Colbert’s 2nd episode from Iraq is airing and he’s finishing up his basic “training.” He was up at the top of a high wall, told to repel down, and asked his drill sargent if he was gay, would he still have to do it and the live audience erupted in cheers and applause.
I suspect the actual member of the armed forces are also in favor of repealing DADT. Of course, they’re biased because they may believe that a larger military would keep them from returning to Iraq for their 5th, 6th, 7th or more tours. Or maybe they do believe that the freedom they are supposedly fighting for in Iraq should also apply to, you know, the United States.

June 10th, 2009 at 12:26 amdbadass, I suspect there are a number of explanations for trollish behavior, but a select few must suggest deep psychological dysfunction. One who spends all day anonymously seeking negative attention goes well beyond simply juvenile pranksterism.
The fact that it never mounts an actual argument but instead relies on belched retorts and deluded aphorims suggests that it has no real political motive, just a personal one. And that is to feed its starving ego with any meager nourishment it can find, even negative attention. And it seems to have become addicted to the negative attention.
It strikes me as a sort of eating disorder of self esteem. It refuses to nourish itself with actual affection from any family or friends and instead seeks the corrosive effect of the disdain it willful seeks to generate among a community of anonymous strangers.
Very sad.
On the plus side, if we can get our research published, we could very well make our names in the field for identifying a previously unknown mutation of human psychology.

On the same day that Sarah Palin blasted Barack Obama for his Special Olympics joke on The Tonight Show, the Alaska Governor announced that she would not be accepting $170 million for economically disadvantaged and special needs students. Thus she decided to put her 2012 ambitions ahead of special needs students.

June 10th, 2009 at 12:34 amJust glancing through before I say good night, I saw some talk about spending vs. cutting in gov’t spending. This is just a political game they all play with each other.
In truth, quite often, spending in actual dollars goes up each year. So when people defend themselves against charges of “cutting spending”, they point to the fact that actual dollars spent have gone up each year. Where the “cutting” comes in is in the proposed budgets for future years. When they reduce the amount that they intended to increase spending some time down the road, they call it a “cut”, even if they actually spend more than the year before. That’s why you hear charges of “she cut spending” when she spent more each year. (Or he.)
The point is that it has become so meaningless a charge that it isn’t worth bringing up, IMHO.
Good night, everyone.
Peace on Earth. (A Planet of which I am a Citizen.)
June 10th, 2009 at 12:36 amBe careful what you say about sean. Fox news will have no problem suing for defamation. Palin is still good looking, which is all that matter to republicans, surface. They would gladly rewallpaper the walls before they get rid of the rat’s nest in the walls.

June 10th, 2009 at 1:18 amIn Alaska we have taken much more than our fair share for years. We could pay for many services which we rely on the federal government to pay. People in Alaska don’t believe in paying taxes but we sure like all the services. When I worked in the Palin Administration the only directive from the Governor’s office was maximize federal funds. My friends who remain still- work on that every day. Palin would rather have the oil companies have the money than the people in Alaska or other states. Many of us are horrified we have inflicted her on the country. She makes very little sense.

Pretty much the middle east is a historically violent place. If americans go there their going to find that violence. But there is also a lot of hope there too. Beheading is like old school. If it wasn’t americans it was someone.
They are using video cameras, which means there is possible exploitation. MSM uses these videos to get ratings and in turn get advertisers monies. So, these terrorists are unwittingly help american capitalism. Ironic.
Palin, might be smart, but it would mean she was acting this whole time, you know, playing the character. I think Sean Hannity is a character too, the real sean is probably (secret horrible hypocrite) someone else too. But people will do anything to get on TV, even cut off people’s heads.
June 10th, 2009 at 2:49 amGreat! I am going to stop giving a dollar several times a week to that panhandler I see everyday on my way to subway. The less money he has, the less he spends, and thus the better off he is. (I’ll try to explain this to him. I’m sure he’ll understand).
But, wait! If I don’t give him that dollar, then I’ll have several extra dollars at the end of the week, which means I might spend more, which means I’ll be worse off. It’s like I’d be bound by some kind a Gordian knot. I mean I could just burn the money, but that would be insane. What ever should I do? Oh, Sarah, your “You Betcha!” logic has confounded me once again!!
June 10th, 2009 at 2:50 amI can’t wait for the intelekshul debate in 2011, between Newt and She Who Is Not To Be Named.
He’ll put forth a detailed proposal, and she’ll tear at it with poorly constructed ripostes, and he’ll be reluctant to point out her poor analy sis, for fear of being criticized for attacking a woman. Then Sarah will find some way of working Newt’s failed marriages into the mix, and it’ll be 2 naked ambitions in the ring, ready to claw each other’s eyes out for any advantage.
Good Times.

June 10th, 2009 at 8:35 amIf the Alaska government has less money, then there will be less money to spend on special education, services for the blind and deaf, and programs for military families. Why does Palin hate We the People?
June 10th, 2009 at 8:45 amIt doesn’t look like Palin will run for reelection in Alaska. She is foresaking the people of Alaska to appeal to the Republican 20% core to get a shot at 2012. She cannot afford to be defeated as Governor if she wants a chance. This is same thing that Pawlenty did in Minnesota. I actually think that Palin will be a good designated loser against Obama in 2012.
On the subject of Alaska Oil revenues, I think that the Alaska cut on oil is a tax on the rest of the country. This is a true case of taxation without representation, why don’t they bring this up at the so-called tea parties? The United States bought Alaska, the public resources in Alaska should be owned that the people of the United States, not just those in Alaska. It is unfair for Alaska to receive these revenues alone.

Wiz, I agree with you on that,but the damn pesky Reich wingers will say some stupid like the 10th Amendment and states rights.Palin doesn`t care about her citizens and that with less money coming in means less $ for education,police and fire depts and the rest of the commons that taxes pay for, she is looking ahead to 2012 and that`s good for the left but in the meantime Alaska`s citizens will suffer.
June 10th, 2009 at 9:27 amPalin also wants less money for SEX EDUCATION and Planned Parenthood…….

Not that she’d read it unless it was the King James version, but it would look good gathering dust on her coffee table.
June 10th, 2009 at 9:41 amI wonder who paid for Bristol’s health insurance and how she is getting coverage for the baby as well.
June 10th, 2009 at 9:48 amIn addition Wiz if they can give each resident $3K why does Alaska take almost twice as much money back from the federal government as it pays in? They probably don’t even collect state taxes on that money to pay for things they need like better schools.
June 10th, 2009 at 9:51 amchristopher wiwi: The states rights question is what the Repubs bring up to fight something they don’t like. At once they champion states rights, but oppose gay marriage when a state implements it. The cited states rights as a way to oppose civil rights in a number of ways. They don’t care about states right anymore than I care about the far side of the moon. They only care about advancing their power. People have caught on to Republican hypocrisy
June 10th, 2009 at 9:52 amI think Palin’s tune might change if she wasn’t living on the state teat.

June 10th, 2009 at 10:44 amHow she was ever elected is beyond me. Bad karma?
This used to be called “The Ethiopian Diet”:
The less food you have, the less you eat.
Who was the actress that cried over photos of starving children because she “wished she were that thin”? I forget. It was over 20 years ago.

June 10th, 2009 at 11:59 amrepublicans hate facts Says:
Palin cut special needs funding by 62 percent.
republicans hate facts Says:
You should READ DOWN FURTHER in the FACT CHECK ARTICLE you LINKED…. Palin *DID* make those cuts. But to *DEAF* programs and other “SPECIAL” programs like trouble youth military academy.
http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/sliming_palin.html
According to Eddy Jeans at the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development, funding for special needs and intensive needs students has increased every year since Palin entered office, from a total of $203 million in 2006 to a projected $276 million in 2009.
Those who claim that Palin cut special needs funding by 62 percent are looking in the wrong place and misinterpreting what they find there
And in any case, the decrease in funding for special schools is illusory
You really are a moron. Clearly you have been owned here. Admit you were wrong and you did not look at the facts and move on.
