No joke Tongass, I haven't heard a single person say they would not vote for Joe over everything being reported by the media. No free fall from our perspective and even my Indian buddies agreed it was same old political games going on.
I've told you, I really believe the feds should give the Indians back all the blm lands they stole off them in 40's. But ya know, the country is going broke and sooner or later the money tree is going to crash to the ground. I don't want to see USA end up like Russia in the early 90's; be a bad way to go.
Also, I know people (who I respect)in tok who had dealings with Joe Miller and they said he was a straight up guy; very honorable. Here's one for ya, true story. We have a guy here in Eagle, has a gas station. This one guy & wife owed the gas station bunch of money and was getting ready to move out. not pay his bill. Even all the Indians pay their bills to this White gas station owner because he's good guy; treats them right. So they went to court in Tok over the money and the guy and his wife who owed the money lied up and down. My friend figured he was just getting screwed again and never get the money, but his wife said that she had the feeling that the magistrate was reading through all the bull and would make the couple pay up. Sure enough he did and that judge was Joe Miller; true story.
So Tongass, if you ever get up Eagle look us up, stay over; I'll introduce ya to all the Indians. You probably know Issac Juneabee, one of the best chiefs I've seen up here. tried stopping the alcohol too, even when the entire village shunned him for doing so; very respectable guy. Issac did good things for Eagle and had the class to get things accomplished in Juneau. Anyway, you wait till tuesday and you'll see that I'm right about this election. Maybe we should bet a 30-30 on this Miller/Murkowski deal.
Good to hear from you. I agree with you that Joe has the right message I just think he is the wrong messenger. You may have notice that all week long Palin was pulling together a rally for Joe. About 200 folks came but Palin was a no show. Joe's negatives are getting too high and would start to make her look negative too, so she has thrown ole Joe under the bus. I just wish the Tea Party had picked a more credible candidate. If I ever make to your neck of the river dinner is on me. tk
I was wrong, I understand that after over half the folks left Palin did show up. Her timing does not make for a strong endorsement.
