Doesn't mean it isn't a practice that's at the core of socialism. It is, much more so than national health care would be. Paln wasn't a governor long enough to mess too much up. Not too mention how little time she probably actually spends doing Governor type activities. Not that she could actually make it through a full term it seems. She surely wasn't the one who can take credit for any of the successes Alaska may have as a state. As for college educated douche bags, I can guarantee you that those without those educations sure as hell aren't going to do any better and would probably make things even worse. Having said that, government is so fucked up from the back and forth politics of the retards that call them selves conservatives and liberals that even if someone who kicks ass got into office you wouldn't know it. Shit is too far gone to be solved in a single president or congress. Even the right things would seem to be wrong given the state things are in now.
