Palin just said she is going to or has given the Alaska budget surplus back to the people

I would like to see the fact check on this one.

She also repeated the claim that Obama "voted to cut off funding for the troops" however ignoring the fact that McCain voted against funding if it came with a timeline.

1. Hows about Alaska give back the oil money to the US Treasury?

After she begs for her earmarks and receives them from her corrupt Senator, she should return it all.

2. She's incoherent and fumbling today...

...much like she was in the Couric interviews.

Yesterday, she did much better.

Maybe she listened to Olberman's very astute analysis of her antics, on last night's "Countdown."

I wonder what makes her "ok" one day, and a complete dimwit the next.

She's a new kind of bipolar. One day she can read the teleprompter adequately, the next day
she sounds like a bungling moron.

3. Sure - right after she secured MILLIONS from federal budget - as in OUR TAX DOLLARS.

I love how UNPATRIOTIC lawmakers like Palin secure federal dollars for THEIR states then cut taxes so THEY get the credit IN THEIR STATE, while taxpayers in states they loathe like New York, Massachusetts, California, et al, send THEIR tax dollars to Palin through the federal budget.

Palin is a typical CON ARTIST - typical Republican.

This is true. When you look at return on the federal tax dollar for each state, the ones which get back more than they put in are generally "red states" (one exception might be Texas --how is the data for Texas these days?). In fact, Alaska has no excuse since they have a whole bunch of money coming in from oil revenue. It's funny that Palin might have secessionist sympathies given how the state is being sustained by the federal teat more than just about any other state.
