Palin's Latest Facebook Note
As the vice president knows, I have always advocated an all-of-the-above approach to American energy independence. Among other things, my alternative energy goal for Alaska sits at 50 percent because Alaska reached more than 20 percent during my term in office. The Obama-Biden administration, on the other hand, recently announced a renewable goal of only 25 percent. However, domestic drilling should remain a top priority in order to meet America’s consumption and security needs.
The vice president’s extreme opposition to domestic energy development goes all the way back to 1973 when he opposed the Alaska pipeline bill. As Ann Coulter pointed out, “Biden cast one of only five votes against the pipeline that has produced more than 15 billion barrels of oil, supplied nearly 20 percent of this nation’s oil, created tens of thousands of jobs, added hundreds of billions of dollars to the U.S. economy and reduced money transfers to the nation’s enemies by about the same amount.”
This nonsensical opposition to American domestic energy development continues to this day. Apparently the Obama-Biden administration only approves of offshore drilling in Brazil, where it will provide security and jobs for Brazilians. This election is about American security and American jobs.
There’s one way to tell Vice President Biden that we’re tired of folks in Washington distorting our message and hampering our nation’s progress: Hoffman, Baby, Hoffman!
- Sarah Palin
What is this - feed the troll day? Look - she’s said time and again she wants to drill (’drill baby drill’ - ring any bells).
Now simmer down and let us enjoy Palin once again verbally pwning Biden.
Never point out the obvious to the oblivious.
Which is obviously why she started out talking about "all of the above." I get it ... you read into her posts, whatever you want them to say. I begin to realize that to folks like you, Sarah Palin is like Chauncey Gardiner with breasts.
Now simmer down and let us enjoy Palin once again verbally pwning Biden.
Yawn....
Her facebook page is my new home page.
Joe Isuzu would find a one man rockfight complicated.
> Never point out the obvious to the oblivious.
Heh, you’re right about that.
If you’re in an exec master’s program, you’ll have a huge conservative audience. I couldn’t keep my opinions silent. Just give your prof a copy of the federalists papers. Don’t suck up, and don’t give an inch, they’ll never know we’re here if you are silenced, we need to voice freedom! Being a Masters student, you need to appeal to his ‘higher learning and diversity’ and ask him to discuss the fed papers with your class as opposed to socialism. I did a master’s degree, grad 2000, things sure have changed, even in this short period of time.
Hey, perfesser...
Or did you forget the sarcasm at the end of your post?
Reagan oft used bon mots to emphasize a point. Was he not acting presidential?
Mitt, Huck, Palenty, and that ilk don’t have the background or qualifications for President.
They would be lucky to draw 100 people to a rally.
Smooth talkers won’t cut it.
They didn’t have the courage to serve their country, nor the courage to speak up or as one at the last min. to support the conservative Republican vs two left wing hacks
in a congressional election.
If you want ivy league elites, Lincoln wouldn’t have been your guy.
I laugh at the Palin bashers, always afraid to state who they are for or give the lame comment, to early to support someone.
Perfect!
“It’s just not a fair fight.”
And she’s hot. Hotter and smarter than anything they could hope to come up with. Ann Coulter’s never had kids, which was the excuse for Ann being hotter and smarter than anything the left could come up with.
Palin’s had kids, and she’s better looking than her husband, which is a tall order, smarter, and maybe tougher.
This was from Palin’s Facebook page and as such is followed primarily by her supporters and people familiar with both her policies/ideas and the day-to-day beatings she takes in the MSM. No doubt many of them know about Biden mocking her “drill baby drill” slogan. I think that’s what she was addressing and alluding to, for the most part.
The demand for specific, detailed policies seems somewhat premature. She is not a presidential candidate, after all, no matter how much the media can’t leave her alone (despite their hatred).
I disagree that she gave up her “best chance” for presidential aspirations when she resigned the governorship. But I do agree with you that she has a long road ahead with the electorate at large. She has handled herself with extreme professionalism and decorum to this point, IMO, and has certainly come farther than any other politician I can think of might have, under similar attack. I think many people from outside the conservative base may be willing to give her a second look, esp. as we go further into the morass of Obamaconomics.
Reagan had the advantage of a long political pedigree, including two full terms as governor of California; and decades of written and spoken political commentaries that had established his intellectual bona fides.
Sarah Palin doesn't have that luxury right now. She's got to lay serious groundwork among the general public, and she's not doing it.
[... She’s quick to say what she’s against,
but doesn’t actually say what she’s for...]
Her record and her actions represent clearly
what she is for.
Palin is for the American people, not corrupt politicians like Biden who survive by selling off Americas sovereignty to the highest bidder.
Palin is for Capitalism...
Palin is for Free Enterprise...
Palin is for America’s economic interests abroad.
Palin is for American citizens living free and secure from domestic terrorists like Reid and Pelosi and foreign terrorists, like Obummer.
Palin is for representative taxation.
Palin is for less government.
Palin is for the everyman like me (I’m not so sure about you)
Palin is for the unborn child.
Palin is for the child born with special blessings, like Trig.
Palin is for your right to say what you like even if it is derogatory toward her.
