So, all these Republicans in the Alaska House and the Republican governor aren't conservative, either?

JUNEAU -- The Alaska House of Representatives voted Thursday night for a massive rollback of the oil profits tax that the lawmakers put in place four years ago.
Neal Foster of Nome was the only Democrat to vote in favor.
Gov. Sean Parnell supported the oil tax when he was her lieutenant governor but is now leading the effort to weaken it, saying he's since become convinced that it hurts oil company investment.
Here’s a clue. Do not come to Sarah Palin threads to hijack the subject of the thread. For your very short time here, you’re already a known PDSer.
What would you have Palin do? The Alaska state constitution states that the mineral resources of Alaska belong to the people of Alaska. Period.
Governor Palin tried to put more of the profits from those resources into the hands of their proper owners — the people of Alaska — per her state’s constitution.
Prior to that, the oil companies were taking a bandit’s share of those profits.
Now, the lesser beings who inevitably creep into positions of power when greatness creates a vacuum, are looking to resurrect the old status quo.
You’re not going to find perfection in any political candidate, no matter how hard you look. They all operate in an imperfect world, and most reflect those imperfections in their character faults. In Sarah Palin, we at least have someone who has striven throughout her life to make the best possible choice in every adverse situation.
She is committed to the ideals this country was founded upon, and has not just talked the talk, but walked the walk, during her 20 years of public service. She has proved on more than one occasion that she will do what’s right, despite the risk of political fallout to herself.
That’s courage, and it’s precisely what this country needs in its next president, if we’re to survive as a nation.
