Wow, how can you be so wrong.  A) this is NOT a very conservative state.  There are twice as many of us independents than the combined sum of GOP and Democrats. B) Because of the GOP's closed caucuses you consistently put to the voters the most alt-right radical version of the GOP here in Alaska.  Open up your caucus and you will see more moderate GOP folks in Juneau. C) this State ranks only behind Mississippi as a welfare state.  We get back from the lower 48 states about 4 federal dollars for each 1 dollar we pay into the treasury.  We get welfare from donor states that you hate like CA or NY who pay much more into the treasury than they get out. So much for your BS. D) lastly, the GOP coined the words tax and spend to hide their spending on wars.  The GOP administrations have done more damage to the national debt than all the Democratic administrations combined.  Ya gotta stop sole sourcing info with Fox and the Rushbo.  Being a hypocrite parrot ain't working for you.
