The president’s decision to attend the international climate conference in Copenhagen needs to be reconsidered in light of the unfolding Climategate scandal. The leaked e-mails involved in Climategate expose the unscientific behavior of leading climate scientists who deliberately destroyed records to block information requests, manipulated data to “hide the decline” in global temperatures, and conspired to silence the critics of man-made global warming. I support Senator James Inhofe’s call for a full investigation into this scandal. Because it involves many of the same personalities and entities behind the Copenhagen conference, Climategate calls into question many of the proposals being pushed there, including anything that would lead to a cap and tax plan.
Policy should be based on sound science, not snake oil. I took a stand against such snake oil science when I sued the federal government over its decision to list the polar bear as an endangered species despite the fact that the polar bear population has increased. I’ve never denied the reality of climate change; in fact, I was the first governor to create a subcabinet position to deal specifically with the issue. I saw the impact of changing weather patterns firsthand while serving as governor of our only Arctic state. But while we recognize the effects of changing water levels, erosion patterns, and glacial ice melt, we cannot primarily blame man’s activities for the earth’s cyclical weather changes. The drastic economic measures being pushed by dogmatic environmentalists won’t change the weather, but will dramatically change our economy for the worse.
Policy decisions require real science and real solutions, not junk science and doomsday scare tactics pushed by an environmental priesthood that capitalizes on the public’s worry and makes them feel that owning an SUV is a “sin” against the planet. In his inaugural address, President Obama declared his intention to “restore science to its rightful place.” Boycotting Copenhagen while this scandal is thoroughly investigated would send a strong message that the United States government will not be a party to fraudulent scientific practices. Saying no to Copenhagen and cap and tax are first steps in “restoring science to its rightful place.”

Yes, sir! Almost as great as me. She’s just saying what I’ve been thinking for years. :)
Woo-hoo!
Sarah, please don't endorse McCain's Senate campaign.
Thank you.
you’re wasting your time
just notice that he chose the name he has... it wasn’t foisted on him
anyway, good try, and I agree with you
*rolls eyes*
Sarah Palin: the Constitutional Charles Martel.
Go, Sarahcuda!
You know, you may be right, this way she wouldn’t be exposing Obama and his Left wing agenda
Where is the lipstick? ;)
‘there are no death panels in the bill!’
‘there are death panels, but they are just end of life counseling sessions’
‘we removed death panels from the bill!’
I realized what her resignation speech meant, what we were in for, and how she was going to do more to influence legislation from FACEBOOK, than any GOP Senator or Congressman.
There's a reason, I suspect, that they say the landscape of Alaska is littered with the remains of those who underestimated this lady!
Love SARAH!!! She is Ronald Reagan in a skirt in Naughty Monkeys heels! (Hey, for all you guys out there, Naughty Monkeys are a brand of shoes and she wore them on the campaign trail)!!!! Drill baby drill!
My son gave me the collection of those CD's last Christmas. They are awesome! I agree with you, she is using them as a model and in a very effective way.
That hack against the Duncan Hunter was that after 30 years in congress NOBODY knew who he was. I think Hunter easily had the best conservative credentials. But if you’ve been “LEADING” the conservative fight for 30 years and I don’t even know your name, there is something wrong. Your attacks on Fred Thompson (A great conservative) were LEGEND on the FR.
And now, you’re at it again, you just haven’t reached the screaming, fever pitch that you were at during the last campaign.
Though as a mere community organizer at heart — who peddled “doomsday scare tactics” for a living — what more can you expect from Barry Jr., but yet another fool’s errand to Copenhagen to lick the boot of his statist masters?
I assume you're not talking about Obama then, because he would be the worst person for the job, obviously.
Interesting thought. Just a different medium. Hmmmm...
Boy, I miss him.
Who am I attacking now?
And FWIW, every single thing I said about Fred was true. Now if you want to claim he’s a great conservative now, that is one thing. But his record was quite iffy, and I don’t mean McCain-Fiengold-Thompson.
It depends upon your perspective. If your goal is to get communists in the White House, then I’d say you’ve succeeded. You’ve got to give him credit for that, LOL.
Hey, give him a break! The bumpers weren’t up.
I said, “at best” the second best person for the job. 0bama (as of 12:11 PM EST) would come in somewhere around 308,081,980...just ahead of Pelosi, Reid, Barney Frank and Nidal Malik Hasan.
