[Grovenet] Attacks, praise stretch truth at GOP convention

[Walt Wentz]

Steve:
Note I said, "opinions and associations."  If Obama has Rev. 
Watzizname in his past, Palin has that anti-Semetic Identity-type 
preacher in Wasilla, who proclaims Iraq to be Gawd's War against the 
Infidels, and also that Alaskan Nation group that she has urged to 
"keep up the good work." Anyone who imagines that Alaska, with the 
highest per-capita federal assistance in the nation, could go it 
alone (aside from "nationalizing" all its energy resources, a 
temporary income at best) is displaying very questionable  judgement, 
in my humble opinion.
Since Russia is now feeling its oats and becoming aggressive with its 
new energy wealth, what could prevent it from "reclaiming its 
historic territory in Russian America?" The Alaska National Guard and 
another man? With our army's capabilities now being frittered away in 
Iraq, we certainly couldn't help much.
It is understandable that cabin  fever and the annual winter booze-up 
should  lead some people to some surreal thinking during the dark 
months, but for a politician to play along with those fantasies, even 
for local political purposes, also seems to indicate very poor 
judgement.
