Ha, ha, ha.... yeah, right. That's why the citizens of Alaska get royalty payments from the energy companies... all that "government" welfare. What a moron...

Then try to get your state to stop a polluter beyond their borders or even dumber, act surprised when companies do what is in their own best interests when they poison the water and air." -------------- Yeah... because everybody knows that the executives of these companies have their very own, double-secret supply of air and water to breath and drink, so they are unaffected by the poisoning they do. Do you libturds EVER get tired of recycling tired, worn-out and thoroughly debunked talking points?

Naw.... let's give them the People's Republics of California, Oregon & Washington... maybe Hawaii, but let's keep Alaska.

Do you libturds have an expiration date on when you stop blaming GWB for everything that ails the planet? Even we conservatives stopped bringing Carter up after a year of Reagan. Speaking of Carter. He's GOT to be one happy ex-president. Now that we've had 3+ years of Obama, Carter is no longer the worst president in history.

The Executive Branch of our government needs a giant enema... and one is coming in November.

I have to admit I don't get along with ignorant, uneductaed, unsofisticated dummies, but I wouldn't go as far as saying I hate them because they are not like me." -------- I always get a kick out of leftists who brag about their supposed intellect and education, yet manage to misspell their own words. That would be "uneducated" and "unsophisticated", you moron.

If there was the political will to secure the borders, it could be done in less than a year. It is NOT that difficult a process.

Too expensive to hold them, if we let them go they just come right back, its pretty much impossible to secure a border the length of the united states, take your pick." ----------------- Interesting comment about border length. Funny, the USSR was able to protect their entire border, which was at least 4 to 5 times the length of the U.S. border. Of course, their border was designed to keep people IN, not out.

Poor reply. ("low" regulations??? LOL!). Most people would love to turn back the clock to the economy of "Dubya", even though he was far from a fiscal conservative. Return to your home planet.

Pretty much no matter where you look in this country, the most profitable business locations just happen to be where government taxes and regulations are the highest. Manhattan, San Fran, DC. They have consumers in those areas that are spending money." ---------------- Seriously? A president can inspire or destroy confidence by his policies on regulations and taxes. As to the profitability in the markets you mention, have you never heard of economies of scale and concentrated population centers? Sheesh! Who's the "moron"?
