Now, before you go labeling me, I'm chastising both sides of the aisle, as an INDEPENDENT. (not to mention that come next Sep/Nov, it'll be my vote you're after)
Legislation being pushed in Congress has historical precendence in costing the lives of tens of thousands: civilian and military. In the interest of proving they are "doing something," these politicians are going to get people killed. Regardless of your party, take a look at the historical results and demand that your party set aside partisan politics and vote for the national interests, national security and protection of civilians and troops.|||Makes me ashamed to be from Ohio, but at the same time happy I can help vote this jagoff out of office. If this passes, then the comparison of Iraq to Vietnam will be an accurate one. No army can fight a war with one hand tied behind it's back. Combat decisions need to be left up to the leaders who have actually SEEN the conflict zone. It amazes me that someone can be so pompous as to presume to tell someone how to do their job from thousands of miles away. Imagine the outcry if Marines and soldiers started telling politicians how to run the country? At least they know first hand what the cost is. But unless they are dying, or some jacka$$ is committing a crime, they get little if any press. Gotta love the media, right? Excuse me, I have a letter to write.|||What are talking about? Citing the legislation would help.|||just FYI, we moderate independents get called liberals on here
... I've stopped caring ... some cons have serious issues with not taking sides are just wanting to understand and generate change
the left wing nut jobs seem to be less apt to name call
I agree that if things don't change there will be more senseless death for monetary gain, and with this administration (or one like it) less and less access will be granted to ask "why?"|||You forgot to tell us which legislation. Do that and we can render an answer.

As a windfall profit tax socialist, did Palin pass any conservative legislation as governor?
I know Palin fought for redistribution of wealth in Alaska by fighting for and passing an increase in profit taxes for handouts to the state. What so-called conservative legislation has she passed?|||The governor does not pass legislation, he/she only signs or vetoes what is passed by the state legislature.|||try this...

Posted by Chris Edwards
On tax policy, Alaska governor Sarah Palin has a rather uninspiring, albeit brief, record. The following is some information gleaned from State Tax Notes.
Palin supported and signed into law a $1.5 billion tax increase on oil companies in the form of higher severance taxes. One rule of thumb is that higher taxes cause less investment. Sure enough, State Tax Notes reported (January 7): “After ACES was passed, ConocoPhillips, Alaska’s most active oil exploration company and one of the top three producers, announced it was canceling plans to build a diesel fuel refinery at the Kuparuk oil field. ConocoPhillips blamed the cancellation on passage of ACES [the new tax]. The refinery would have allowed the company to produce low-sulfur diesel fuel onsite for its vehicles and other uses on the North Slope, rather than haul the fuel there from existing refineries.”
There are good reasons for an oil-rich state to tax oil production, but a fiscal conservative would usually use any tax increase to reduce taxes elsewhere. Perhaps I’m missing something, but I see no evidence that Palin offered any major tax cuts. She did propose sending $1.2 billion of state oil revenues to individuals and utility companies in the form of monthly payments to reduce energy bills, but that sounds like welfare to me, not tax cuts.|||isn't that what the libs want , to share the wealth. why do you mock her for lib policy's. oh, that's right she's against abortion.|||Hey, "Reality", seems you edit just like the lamestream media, missing a few details of the article you linked
* A tax credit for film production in the state, offering about $20 million per year in breaks.
* A cut in an annual business license fee from $100 to $25 (the legislature went half way to $50).
* A one-year suspension of the state fuel tax to save taxpayers about $40 million.
* A repeal of tire taxes to save taxpayers $2 million.
* A tax credit for commercial salmon harvesting to save taxpayers about $2 million.
Kinda typical, eh?
