1. You mean just cut them off from the rest of the country?
Any other states with natural resources you want to dump while you are at it?

7. It's gotta be fraud ...

This has to be fraud, the polls moved from a tossup to a 15 point lead after his conviction.

3. Turn them back into a territory and give the profits from "their" resources
to the mainland Americans whose tax dollars bought that snowfield.

Or, we can trade it to Putin for a few hundred million barrels of oil.

4. The Wingnuts Want To Move There...
There are many people in that state who have never known another Senator other than "Uncle Ted". He dished out a lot of favors and bringing home the bacon. That's a lot of votes one can call in...and sounds like he did. It's to no avail, since he is sure to be expelled from the Senate in the next couple weeks.

Also another sad loss was Ethan Berkowitz losing to another crook, Don Young. Give that one time...his indictment is coming soon...and he's slimier than Stevens.

I got a kick out of the freeper post of many of them wanting to move to Alaska...live off the land, shoot their guns, hide in their goofball fundie churches and never have to fear of having to have abortions and marry gays.

Let's be glad of the gains made last night...and start working on the next step of de-repugnification of this country in 2010.

:toast:

5. I'll fly out and HELP them move!
The reality of the tundra will kill them soon enough.
and the ones that manage to survive, well, they gotta live SOMEWHERE
might as well be up north where they can't hurt anyone aside from each other :)

8. If The Snow Doesn't Do It, The 6 Month Winters Will...
Most of these goobers live in Southern and Western states...they have only seen snow on the teevee. Yep, they're sure to love being confined to their basements...just like what they do now. :rofl:

While I don't want to give up on Alaska...we have some wonderful DUers there...if they want their own little corner, may they be happy and "drill baby drill" :rofl:

9. To be honest Alaska is just beautiful, she doesn't deserve to be the cesspool of RWer trash
it's just that it's all the oddballs that go up there because they have one issue or another with how things are done in the civilized part of the country.

I could live up there, the people in general are liberal-ish, but they keep voting conservative, it's just confusing sometimes.1
