Is everyone going to ignore it but Rush and Greta?
IFILL: Let me clear something up, Sen. McCain has said he supports caps on carbon emissions. Sen. Obama has said he supports clean coal technology, which I don't believe you've always supported.
BIDEN: I have always supported it. That's a fact.
IFILL: Well, clear it up for us, both of you, and start with Gov. Palin.
PALIN: Yes, Sen. McCain does support this. The chant is "drill, baby, drill." And that's what we hear all across this country in our rallies because people are so hungry for those domestic sources of energy to be tapped into.
They know that even in my own energy-producing state we have billions of barrels of oil and hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of clean, green natural gas. And we're building a nearly $40 billion natural gas pipeline which is North America's largest and most you expensive infrastructure project ever to flow those sources of energy into hungry markets.
Barack Obama and Sen. Biden, you've said no to everything in trying to find a domestic solution to the energy crisis that we're in. You even called drilling -- safe, environmentally-friendly drilling offshore as raping the outer continental shelf.
There -- with new technology, with tiny footprints even on land, it is safe to drill and we need to do more of that. But also in that "all of the above" approach that Sen. McCain supports, the alternative fuels will be tapped into: the nuclear, the clean coal.
I was surprised to hear you mention that because you had said that there isn't anything -- such a thing as clean coal. And I think you said it in a rope line, too, at one of your rallies.
IFILL: We do need to keep within our two minutes. But I just wanted to ask you, do you support capping carbon emissions?
PALIN: I do. I do.
IFILL: OK. And on the clean coal issue?
BIDEN: Absolutely. Absolutely we do. We call for setting hard targets, number one...
Yeah she got caught in a trap. Do I disagree with the guy who put me on the ticket. Can't you see the David Shusters of the world running up to McCain and saying "your VP candidate just said she's against what you stand for. How do you respond Sen. McCain?".
Now Sarah is free to state her own positions.
Wow it is in there, I just read down to where she said it.
Actually, she did, during the debates. I remember being worried by that, and assumed/hoped she was subordinating her own views to support her running mate McCain's position.
So, I've been waiting to hear her repudiate this. Now, on to amnestia.
She’s so dumb, why would WaPo even give her the space. She can probably barely read. /s
The only thing I disagree with is Palin continuing to go to Leftist new sources...
I’d like to see her on other news sources as well..
Maybe Palin is taking the conservative fight directly to the belly of the enemy.
My apologies. I thought everyone here was familiar with the liberal mantra that anyone who had conservative ideas was simply a Fox news drone who couldn't think for themselves.
btt!
Sarah just started an issue based conversation, yet you worry because of what the media says about her. As conservatives we have to get beyond how the media frames this. All conservatives will be tarred as mean, stupid, or both while truly mean and stupid liberals are given a pass. The sooner we fight back by not believing them, the better.
Excellent Bump!
Amazing that they’ll claim that Palin couldn’t possibly have written this,
but seem to have no interest whatsoever in who wrote “Dreams of My Father” or any of 0bama’s speeches.
It’s pretty obvious he didn’t write the book - his other writing is sub-par where the writing in Dreams was clearly in the same “voice” as other things Ayres has written.
And as for 0bama’s “articulate speeches” - only when he’s reading someone else’s words off a teleprompter. That’s a fact. He cannot speak nearly as “articulately” when he doesn’t have others words in front of his face.
> Interesting because the McCain-Palin ticket supported a
> cap and trade policy.
That was McCain’s, NOT Palin’s, position.
There was a lot of behind the scenes tension in the McCain camp because Palin was way more conservative than McCain.
McCain’s people hated her.
Lakeshark is right. Sarah has always been about the issues. It’s the libtards that can’t seem to stay focused on them because if it’s about issues - they KNOW they lose.
The only thing I disagree with is Palin continuing to go to Leftist new sources (interviews with Chucky Gibson and the Perky Katie Couric) and now Editorials in the Washington Post. She needs to stick to Fox News, National Review, and American Spectator.
I actually believe extending herself to liberal media outlets is a good idea. There are plenty of disaffected Blue Dog democrats and PUMAs who are starting to get the scales removed from their eyes. I used to be the odd one out on a forum full of them. Even some democrats are starting to lose faith in both parties, and if Sarah Palin can reach out to both disaffected dems and her conservative base without changing her core values, then 2012 is hers to lose. They won’t switch to Fox immediately, so why not stick it to them in a place that they will likely frequent?
Sorry, I guess I failed to see your sarcasm towards the media. My mistake
Done.
