Sarah Palin - WELFARE QUEEN???
This woman has got five kids, including a teenage daughter who is pregnant. Sound familiar?

She is paid by the State to support herself and her kids. She gets more money for each kid she has since she charges the State for her kid-related expenses! The government even gives her housing!

Why, could this be the Mythical Welfare Queen of Reagan yore?!?

:wow:

4. I've seen the Ultimate pimpmobile
It was a maroon Rolls Royce with the dingleballs around the inside of the windshields, fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror, and the guy driving it was decked out like Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby in "Uptown Saturday Night", complete with all the gold bling. I thought to myself that this was one SUCCESSFUL pimp.

5. Well... Not exactly
Welfare mothers are not the Governor of a state. She was elected and supposedly does a job. Not really welfare.

10. Speaking as an ex-Alaskan...
The governors don't do jack shit. Pretty much everything is at the local level, except maybe in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau. Seriously, towns like Cordova, Chicken, and Deadhorse are pretty much all on their own. So the Governor just sits in Juneau, raking in cash from taxpayers and oil companies. Winning the state is more or less like winning the biggest lottery in America, at taxpayer expense.

7. Yep.
Because she says the oil resources belong to the state, and what belongs to the state belongs to the people of Alaska, so the oil profit money is taken from the oil companies and given to to the good people of Alaska! Re-distributed wealth as it were!

I think there's a word for that system ... starts with an "S"...

9. That is the very same thing Chavez has done in Venezuela!!!!
The real sucker punch is that the rest of America is paying for Palin's Socialism through higher prices at the pumps.

How many people understand that Palin has raised taxes on the other 49 states?

12. Yes, and at least Venezuela is OFFICIALLY another country.
Why do Alaska'a resources belong only to the people of Alaska, and not to the citizens of the USA? Gee, isn't Alaska supposed to be a US state? And we pay at the pump to Palin just like we pay to Chavez?? And oh, yeah, most of us in the continental U.S. are not "real" Americans.

THE MIND REELS. My head's going to explode now. :nuke:
