Newsflash: Palin resigned as Governor of Alaska in July 2009, over 2 YEARS ago! Or are you confused and think that the current Alaska governor is running for president?

And every Alaskan gets a check from the permanent fund! Where are the Perry Fairy's on this?

What this means is Alaska receives about $5,150 more per capita in federal spending than the US average...
You didn't really explain how AK isn't a welfare state. Could you please expand on that point?

“The comparison between Palin’s record and Perry’s is pretty damning by any objective standard.”
It sure is. Perry has been elected 3 times as governor of Texas, is the longest serving governor in the US, Texas has created 40% of all the jobs in the US.
Palin didn’t even serve out one term as governor, she quit, when the Dems attacked her and now she is playing her supporters with her teasing of whether or not she will run. She had three years and still can’t make up her mind, or did she make up her mind a long time ago to not run, and is just milking her fame for everything she can. Either way, does that sound like presidential material?

And would you care to give us some sources to your statements about Texas and Alaska?

Double Newsflash: Perry is the current governor of Texas and his budget is way in the hole!
Nice trick Clarity, even if Palin wasn’t responsible for the Alaska surplus (though she must deserve some credit), Texas has no one to blame but Perry for their fiscal black hole. But you had to ignore the obvious to prop up your candidate, so lame.
Way to thread hijack and be mega-dishonest at the same time. Pathetic.

710,000 vs. 25,000,000 people. You do the math.

Here’s an idea, let’s all jump on Clarity’s pro Perry threads like he did here and trash his beloved candidate. I’m sure that will be appreciated.

“The bottom line is that the federal government decided to put a lot of military bases in Alaska to protect the rest of us, not to help prop up Alaska. Yet these expenses, like the expenses to manage federal lands, are included in the phony “per capita” calculus.”
This is just a partial explanation from the piece. Hope it helps.
