She supports drilling for oil and natural gas in Alaska, particularly in wildlife reserves.
In what way is this anti-environment? Do you know about the area she wants to drill in? (Hint, I wouldn't suggest packing a picnic lunch to check it out...it's what we call "vast arctic wasteland"...)
Or do you feel all drilling is anti-environment and should be stopped? If so, I hope you'll work against the re-election of all the Democrats who supported the Gas Price Relief for Consumers Act, which, per Nancy Pelosi's page there:
authorizes the Justice Department to take legal action against OPEC state-controlled entities that participate in conspiracies to limit the supply, or fix the price, of oil.
The Democratic speaker of the house is sure in favor of drilling! (When it's in other countries, of course, where they often don't follow as environmentally sound drilling practices as we do in the U.S.)
She's passed taxation laws that make oil companies even richer.
You mean, when she raised taxes on oil companies and raked in Billions of the state of Alaska? Or were you thinking of something else?
She doesn't think global warming is anthropogenic.
Okay, but how does that impact whether she's an environmentalist? Heck, here's what a pretty anti-Palin page (otherwise containing inaccurate smears), has to say:
Palin acknowledges the reality of climate change and its potential catastrophic effects on Alaska and other parts of the world, but she remains skeptical about any link between human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.
Disagreeing about details of global warming doesn't mean someone isn't an environmentalist.
She's attempted to prevent the listing of polar bears as an endangered species.
This is accurate, at least. Have you read her reasoning on this? Which part do you disagree with?
That's what I have time for right now. I have no problem with anyone disagreeing with Palin, as long as they are doing so on things she actually believes.
I hope you will now admit that her environmental position and policies are more complicated than you previously believed.
I think shes a retard. She used to be a beauty queen aparently, now shes a lapdog republican who simply votes the direction her party wants.
She's been a governor and a mayor; she has cast no votes in the direction her party wants. Granted, she supports certain political positions that align with some GOP voters.
Also she has a year of experience, a YEAR. Yeah okay obama has 7 and a harvard education and a lifelong list of achievements, this girl is a tart with no idea what shes doing and you think she can take the Presidential spot if john mccain dies? (and he probably will!).
Apply the litmus test fairly. If you want to downgrade Palin for relative inexperience, then surely you must upgrade McCain for relative experience.
Terrifying, at first i was like wow thats a good political move, then i realized how shallow and obviously pandering it is to the hillary supporters.
It's pandering, but it's not shallow. The "glass ceiling" rings very true for most women in the workplace.
Its so hypocritical to say obama isnt ready and then appoint as your VP a woman who has actually no experience whatsoever and nobody has even heard of.
Yeah, agreed. All of those "not ready" commercials really won't have any bite.
What does this girl bring to the table besides votes? she has no skills, she has no knowledge,
Careful, all of your inexperience points would be ones that could also be pointed at Obama.
she doesnt have any good ideas or bring any sort of young blood to the republicans.
We'll have to wait and see what pockets of the US vote McCain/Palin because of Palin. It's already clear that fundraising has spiked because of her selection; so if anything, she's brought new MONEY to the table.
Her voting policy so far and attitude has shown shes a bigger lapdog than Bush administration mccain (and thats saying something.)
100% untrue.
