Get down to the polls, and don't forget to bring along your can of Don-B-Gone Spray!
Go Stevens! At your age you are allowed to be absent minded and trusting.
They took advantage of your Christian trust in others, so a Democrat can
get into office. This is all part of their 'spook' operation, to discredit
Republicans.
If he had wanted to steal, he had numerous opportunities
to do so in the past and I'm sure he would discredit himself over a
stupid SUV and cheap remodeling of his house, when he has access
to billions of dollars.
He has served this State well and hopefully will continue to do so.
He has my vote and he should have YOUR's. He is a war hero and
a veteran, not like a guy who comes up only during the summer
for over 30 years, but heads South to warmer pastures, when
the going got tough and others, who love Alaska, stayed behind.
We don't need a quitter to represent Alaska in the Senate, but a
man with a proven track record and our trust. He was duped.
Go Stevens...!!
The Feds should be going after the people who took advantage of his
public service and trusting nature. They are conspirators against
a State Senator, a for more serious crime than, absent mindedness.
let's face it the republicans will vote them both in on the primary. I won't doubt that they would vote Stevens in even if he gets convicted, so the Governor could appoint another Republican rather than let a Dem have it.
Has anyone compared Nader, to Obama, or to McCain ?
On Nader's stand on the construction of the Alaska gas line?
Or Nader's stand on anything?
Not to take sides between to Obama, or to McCain. But to add a bit of debate to the 2.
Any interesting thoughts or comments?
"any interesting thoughts or comments?"
Yeah, here's one: None of those three individuals are on the ballot today.
Ooooooh ... burned!
I am a registered Republican and I did not vote for either one; I think Don may fall. Am hoping Ted does too be am not optimistic that he will be voted out. It remains to be seen whether I will vote for a Republican in the General Election.
I won't vote for any of the Democrats who're running but there may be an 'Independent' (or two) running who might be a worthwhile substitute providing my preferences don't appear on the November Ballot in the "R" Slot.
