“We’re not just gonna concede to three big oil companies of this monopoly—Exxon, B.P., ConocoPhillips—and beg them to do this for Alaska,” Palin told me last month in Juneau. “We’re gonna say, ‘O.K., this is so economic that we don’t have to incentivize you to build this. In fact, this has got to be a mutually beneficial partnership here as we build it. We’re gonna lay out Alaska’s must-haves. Parameters are gonna be set, rules are gonna be laid out, a law will encompass what it is that Alaska needs to protect our sovereignty, to insure it’s jobs first for Alaskans, and in-state use of gas’ ”—her list went on. In the past, she said, “Alaska was conceding too much, and chipping away at our sovereignty. And Alaska—we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.” And she said, “Our state constitution—it lays it out for me, how I’m to conduct business with resource development here as the state C.E.O. It’s to maximize benefits for Alaskans, not an individual company, not some multinational somewhere, but for Alaskans.”
No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    A vote for the GOP is a vote for Armageddon.

  • They're losing. Desperate times show them to be what they really are, walking contradictions and selfish mean spirited people.

    a vote for the GOP is like buying a solar-powered flashlight
  • So where are the conservatives on this? Or because Palin said it, it just doesn't count?

    Sarah believes in redistributing Alaskans' wealth to her own family. She took over $21,000 to stay in hotels overlooking Central Park, etc., with her daughters when they had no official business. She got Alaska to pay her to have quality time with her kids. I'd call that socialism.
