Should Alaska be allowed to secede from the union??

[skooooo]

I mean if Palin is our VP, it might become a real issue!


Should Alaska be allowed to secede from the union??

[trueblue2007]

1. I voted for Barnabas Collins.

I always liked Dark Shadows.
Sarah can be Angelique.

[Gore1FL]

3. but angelique spelled it with a w.

[skooooo]

5. me too!

[DontTreadOnMe]

2. What am I going to tell the kids?

[vaberella]

4. I chose "other". They can leave the union but must join Canada.

I don't want any maverick states running amok causing trouble with the Russians.

[skooooo]

8. Good thinking!

:crazy:

[vaberella]

19. I figured we need to cover our asses.

You know their governor has all this foreign policy experience with the Russians, we can't have her thinking she could start conquering some land masses and all to change to the Alaskan way of life. I would be no good at fishing or killing moose. :D

[skooooo]

24. Are you saying..

...that Palin may be trying to take over the world??

[vaberella]

26. Remember she has control of the Alaskan National Guard if they leave.

Plus she hunts, skins, and taxidermies moose, bears, and wolves. That says it all. When she runs out over there, she'll want ours. I should call PETA about her...

[skooooo]

29. lol

[Cleita]

6. No. They joined the union in the last century.

I have dibs that my state should be able to secede first because we have been a state longer. We have more money than any other state and should be able to go first.

[sofa king]

7. Only if they take Texas and New Jersey with 'em.

Yeah, I said New Jersey. Whachagonnadoboutit?

[skooooo]

11. What about Florida??

[vaberella]

27. Good move. Long Island too. They always confuse people into thinking they're a borough. n/t

[merwin]

9. Yes, they should be allowed to.

[terrya]

10. Give it to Canada. Since, you know, it is geographically a part of their country.

:-)

[Phredicles]

12. No, but Texas should be encouraged to do so;

Oklahoma too.

[Arctic Dave]

13. We're part of the US?

[Arugula Latte]

16. Well, not really, because you're all like, exotic and foreign and stuff. Not like Myrtle beach.

[Arctic Dave]

20. Exotic like Paris or exotic like Tiajuana?

[vaberella]

22. Exotic like Siberia. n/t

[Arugula Latte]

25. I'll have to ask Cokie Roberts. Apparently, she's the authority on non-American U.S. states.

On the August 10 edition of ABC's This Week, ABC News political analyst Cokie Roberts criticized Sen. Barack Obama -- who was born in Hawaii -- for "going off this week to a vacation in Hawaii," which she said "does not make any sense whatsoever." Roberts stated: "I know his grandmother lives in Hawaii and I know Hawaii is a state, but it has the look of him going off to some sort of foreign, exotic place." Roberts continued: "He should be in Myrtle Beach, and, you know, if he's going to take a vacation at this time."

35. Ahhh. Now now I get the other post. Duh, on me.

LOL

[Critters2]

14. Imagine a country with no Ted Stevens or Sarah Palin.

Cut 'em loose!

[Naturyl]

15. Dark Shadows! (n/t)

[truthisfreedom]

17. No. They can stay here and suffer through the rest of this ridiculous election cycle

with the rest of us.

[LisaL]

18. Yes. Let's give it back to Russia.

[vaberella]

23. No. Remember their Governor has a lot of foreign policy experience with the Russians.

We don't want that biting us on the ass. Alaska might think they can infiltrate and take us over and create WMD's. We don't want that. They'll get us back for Palin's humiliation.

They must give allegiance to Canada. Further more, it can look like a peace offering to the Canadians for all the jokes we make about their accent and their boring ass tundra of a nation. :D

[Doremus]

21. Only if they take their freak Gov with them. eom

[Jackpine Radical]

28. Only if Texas also goes.

Otherwise Minnesota & Wisconsin should be allowed to secede & maybe join Canada.

[quakerboy]

30. Only if they take Texas and Utah with them

[tomg]

31. Only if we all get to do it and to choose

who we want to join up with. My town would vote to join Sweden.

[Iggo]

32. I wanted to vote "Hell no."

But I do loves me some Barnabas Collins.

[Dem2theMax]

33. Only if California is allowed to do the same.

And then, ONLY if a repuke ends up as pretzeldent. ;)

[girl gone mad]

34. They should secede...

and then we can invade them and take their oil.

Maybe that's the master plan behind this seemingly crazy pick.

[democrattotheend]

36. Personally, I wouldn't mind

It's 3 fewer electoral votes the GOP has to start with.
