Thank you, Jesus — It’s OVER!!
Editor:
This has to have been one of the longest and nastiest election seasons I’ve ever had to endure. By comparison, the results (almost) have to be better than the process that dragged us to them.
No more ads on TV that insult the intelligence of any ‘normal’ person. The whole ACORN issue will disappear for another 4 years. I won’t have my brain shredded again by those infamous words,”my friends.”
Now ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc, can start spinning the news in a positive fashion.
The Fire Dept question has succeeded in bumping up my already too high property taxes to buy some equipment the county/city should be providing.
Where does all the tax money go?
The school district can start issuing bonds in unknown amounts for who knows what. Our property taxes “may not” increase.
Glen McAdoo is crying over the election results. After the hatchet job he did (repeatedly) on Palin, now we are to “work together.”
The Iraq war “must ... end,” but we have to show “resolve” in Afghanistan? I always thought it was all part of the same war. We have to get bin Laden? Is he still alive? Does he matter anymore? No “red/blue America?”
That’s a stretch, after all the partisan hatred tossed at Bush over the last seven years. Now we can “be anything ... we want to be ... if we study, work hard and never give up.”
That’s great Glen. But ... what if we earn over $250K — er, $200K — maybe, $120K ... ? More work, more study, more taxes.
Wow! I wasn’t crying when I began this. But then I really read the McAdoo column. All that faith in a politician is amazing.
Now, I think I’m misting up just a bit.
Hope you’re right on this Mr. McAdoo.

An Open Letter
to Sarah Palin
Dear Sarah Palin,
In this liar’s moment, when a few cloaked cowards are blaming you for the trouncing the Republican Party suffered on Nov. 4, 2008, I wish to recommend to you the greatest bit of advice that one human being has ever offered to another: “…never breathe a word about your loss.”
Do not let yourself be goaded into fighting with faceless accusers to whom the media has granted the sanctuary of anonymity. That is the response of dignity and sovereignty that this cowardly act of traducement calls for.
Before you joined the “Republican ticket,” the energy of our party was about as animated as spilt molasses on a flat surface. But when you walked onto that stage in Dayton, Ohio, introduced yourself and had your say — you lit us afire with the enthusiasm to go out and fight for the ideas and ideals of conservative principles. From our first meeting in August to Nov. 4, you presented the case for the Republican presidency better, by far, than most other “leading” Republicans — inclusive of John McCain.
If we, the foot soldiers of the Republican Party, are owed an apology for our defeat, it is not you who owe us. You did us — and your fellow Alaskans — proud. Pay no mind to your cowardly detractors, rather, remember us who celebrated you at all of your “Sarah Palin rallies.”
At the end of this four year Presidential reign, when the race for the political leadership of America starts anew, be assured that your return will be much more welcome than your clandestine accusers.
