Sarah Palin: "Our country is evolving into Socialism"
LOL!! Sarah Palin has made her diagnosis. Ladies and gentlemen, we are evolving into Socialism (Hannity agrees with Palin). She has formed an alliance with Newt Gingrich to attack President Obama saying that if we had elected McCain and Palin "the USA would be infinitely much better than we are now (The Grinch apparently is forgetting that Bush and the Neocon GOP have destroyed our economy, our reputation, and our labor force). Ron Christie is in agreement on MSNBC and adds: "Our party is doing great things. We are framing the debate!" I am now convinced that these people are mentally ill and should never be allowed to get within striking distance of our government.

7. LInk has Invalid Input Parameter
I was wondering if the video was the same one I saw on ABC from FAUX where the term socialism was prompted from the FAUX reporter.

8. evolving?
it's always funny when someone states that something is bad without saying WHY it's bad.

Let's ask her to

1. Define socialism
2. Define why "socialism" (regulating and administering shared resources) is bad?

Every major city that has a single source water supply is by definition socialist. Without that kind of "socialism" you are always downstream from someone peeing in your water, even in alaska.

11. Sean and Sarah = Complete Idiots Doing The Bidding of Their Corporate Masters
Sean and Sarah are nothing more than corporate sycophants and shills. They have NO idea of what they're saying. They just say whatever their corporate masters tell them to say.

16. for someone who handed out windfalls to Alaskans from oil, she needs to STFU
"Socialism" would be the best thing that could happen to this country, so I wish like hell her comment had a nugget of truth. Alas, Sarah, don't worry, predatory capitalism is alive and well and turning us into serfs while destroying every square inch of the planet for the benefit of a very, very few.

18. Wait a minute...if she thought it was bad

I hope her supporters are paying attention to the CLUES she's leaving for them...


She's a secret Socialist

23. Mudflats points out Sarah's inconsistencies
Edited on Tue Jun-09-09 01:55 PM by Blue_In_AK
as regards "socialism," since, as everyone knows, Alaska is the most socialist state in the union. In fact, socialism is codified in our state constitution, which states clearly that the "people" of the state own the resources, which is why we get a permanent fund dividend check. http://www.themudflats.net/2009/06/08/socialist-whiplash-with-hannity-and-palin/



There are times when commentary just seems unnecessary.

(From Sean Hannity’s interview on Fox News tonight with Sarah Palin)

Hannity: By the way for all of us in New York, where we are now, where we pay 10% income tax, you actually give every citizen in Alaska a check back.

Palin: We are the only state with a negative tax rate (Hannity looks at the camera in disbelief and envy mouthing “I’m so envious(?)”) 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.

********************************

5 minutes, and one wormhole into another dimension later…..

********************************

Palin: If Americans aren’t paying attention, unfortunately our country could evolve into something that we do not even recognize. Certainly that is so far from what the founders of our country had in mind for us.

Hannity: Socialism?

Palin: Well….that is where we are headed.
