Palin: Here’s the deal. There is that inherent link between energy and prosperity and energy and security. Oil prices affect everything in our lives, including even where we send our sons and daughters in war. Bottom line is we need to drill more here where God seems to have dumped a storehouse of safe energy supply right underfoot. Developing resources here grows our economy. It decreases trade imbalance. It creates hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs and it secures our union by eliminating dependence on dangerous foreign regimes, regimes that use energy as a weapon. Access to affordable energy and ethical trade, that’s the real all-of-the-above approach and it is key to America’ security.

I disagree with that assessment of a lot of Freepers regarding Palin and others. More often than not, people pick a leader and then assign certain qualities to that leader, or over look problems with that leader, so as not to pop their personality culture bubble. Again, this is not a statement about Palin, it's about the dynamic of personality obsession in general.
Ergo, the rest of your point is moot.
Wow, screw the constitution, supply and demand, and reality - just pass a law. Methinks Palin herself would laugh that one off. I get the sentiment, but so many problems with that it's hard to know where to start.
Having said that, I am all for using the resources we have as soon and as quickly as we can so that our own energy is a more viable option.
Then they go their separate ways with the only comment being that it was just two mothers talking about children and grand children, their love of God and Country and ... the cost of living in America.
Interesting idea:
Two very distinctly different yet conservative views of what it means to be a woman and a mom and a wife and a American - and liberals cannot fathom or stand either version.
Energy which is inexpensive & available is the key to economic prosperity. Obama&Cronies are trying to make energy costly & unavailable on >purpose. Green-energy = bogus energy. +Green-energy is just another way for CroniesOfObama to ‘loot’ the USA.
Oil is essential for our modern world. Oil is necessary for the manufacturer & transport of the >bogus Green-energy projects. +Oil makes our everyday modern life possible.
Foreign oil is the most >expensive oil in the world. Obama&Cronies require USA soldiers to die for foreign oil. The USA has the largest military in the world which is being used to protect foreign oil & NOT the USA.
An unemotional observer might think Obama&Cronies are being ‘paid-off’ by crooked-dictators in oil-countries. Why else would inexpensive USA oil be limited & >expensive foreign-oil be protected with American lives & our military. (The price of foreign should NOT be measured in oil-dollars alone. The cost of American lives & military must be included too.)
It’s now time to WATERBOARD all politicians. (An appropriate ending for a “RANT”> as it said on FreeRepublic, the >longer the comment, the more it becomes a rant.)
It also just so happens everyone Romney and his team have gone dirty nasty on politically has been female: first muscling a female primary opponent out of one race, then the (granted, unpopular) sitting female GOP guv out of another, then almost blowing it against the female Democrat guv candidate by himself being nastily condescending, then cynically adding a female lt. guv to his ticket but shutting her out of actual governance, and of course all of what he had his henchmen do to Palin starting in ‘08.
Romney does have a major vulnerability in his attitude toward women, and that is something that Obama’s team will poke and prod at until he trips up and displays it through his own inartfulness.
God seems to have dumped a storehouse of safe energy right underfoot.

Jerry Pournelle has often made the argument that cheap energy and low gov’t regulation and taxation made the American economic miracle. It’s hard to argue against for thinking people.
He’s about the only guy out there who was against Iraq from the beginning that I have respect for.
Wow, got a thing for drama? As to problems, we have more problems following the path we are on than with what I advocate.
Reality? The reality of supply and demand dictates we take advantage of what we have right here, right now.
We have the proven oil and natural gas reserves, the business infrastructure and legal system in place to be absolutely energy independent thanks to we have here in North America.
Problems? Did you just get out of class? Catch up. It is the roadblocks our political opposition has put in place that have created the problems!
And, it is the political opposition that prevents us from ending these wars for, and foreign entanglements about, oil.
The progressive political opposition and their anti-American policies are keeping us from the economic transformation developing our abundant, stable domestic energy supplies and exports would bring about.
Pass the law! Only North American energy! We've got it, let's use it. No more bowing for oil!
The GOP didn’t come to the defense of Sarah Palin and the Palin family BECAUSE Mitt Romney was the source of much of the attacks.
You are terribly confused. You are missing the problem altogether and apparently have no idea how the world market works and how oil is fungible.
You also confused me not liking your lame brained idea with wanting the status quo, which is what liberals do all the time - and children - present false choices. Which are you?
The issue of our having plenty of energy resources will not be solved by using only American energy. It will be solved by removing barriers to American energy. Once American energy is on the world market, prices will tumble and it doesn’t really matter whether the gallon of gas I buy or the kilowatt hour of electricity I buy was generated with domestic or foreign raw material.
I am all about using American energy. I just know what is - and what is NOT - keeping us from doing it. Meanwhile, if we passed your dream law BEFORE we started producing our energy, our economy would crash and gas would be 35 bucks a gallon.
Wear your cleats if you want to wade into energy policy with me. We tee off from the tips and we don’t allow mulligans. Your first shot is out of bounds....
Oooh, a golf metaphor. Aren’t you the hipster.
Uh, you got a problem with a golf metaphor? Or are you trying to be hip thru snark?
You were being pompous and still are.
Try a little less honking *at* people, if you expect to persuade, as well as weaning yourself away from writing glowingly about yourself when it’s not even pertinent to the subject at hand.
You might be taken a little more seriously, if you do.
Oh, believe me, I know! But it ultimately IS an indictment of the Party. I can’t overstate how much it has thoroughly damaged my respect, my faith, and my trust in the GOP. Things that were formulated and solidified for me back during the era of Reagan.
