In addition to her frightening lack of qualification to be vice president (much less president) of the United States, Palin is an evangelical, anti-choice, pro-gun, right-wing conservative who wants creationism taught in schools.
Although in the past two years the Arctic summer sea ice shrunk to the lowest levels ever recorded, Palin apparently does not believe it is human-induced or cause for alarm.
Oil and gas drilling. Palin has supported oil and gas drilling plans anywhere in Alaska, including in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the central Arctic, the entire Arctic Ocean, and in fish-rich Bristol Bay and Cook Inlet. On her watch, regulation and government oversight of Alaska oil facilities is terribly lacking, and she has declined to establish a citizens' advisory council to provide more effective public oversight of the expanding oil and gas operations in Arctic Alaska.
The pattern is clear. On the environment, Sarah Palin is essentially George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and perhaps James Watt rolled into one, but with a more pleasant demeanor.

One other point: Reliable records of Artic Ice coverage only go back to 1979. So, when you hear those hysterical reports of “lowest ever recorded”, “ever” is a pretty short period of time!
Oh? It's larger this year than last:
Yes the whole picture - Less above Alaska and Canada, but MORE above Siberia, sort of like some sort of equilibrium
i love how making a choice to let the baby live is being anti-choice... it is the right choice, and the only one i support.

Bigbob, you should make some bumper stickers. I’d put one on my truck. “McCain/Palin cut, kill, dig, drill!”
I love it!!
Rick Steiner’s record as a maggot infected mediot pushing the gay agenda to endanger lives of young people is beyond abysmal:

Yo, Rick why is every maggot infected gay mediot so mentally ill about Sarah? Is it your AIDs dementia, the Aids drugs or just your mentally ill CNS system?
The leftist goal is to bankrupt the middle class who has to pay all the taxes to support their hack relatives & friends on the public payroll
You are not going to split the American people on this one this time. We want all forms of our own energy and we want it now. No more excuses from your imaginary "sides".
As long as there are puppies to train, and fish to wrap. Can't do that with radio, TV, or the Internet, you know!
The hard left in Seattle knows that outside of an average 25 mile strip of land with Interstate 5 as its center, the rest of the state lives like Sarah Palin's lifestyle. Yes, they get stupid and vote Rat every once in awhile, but its because they don't always make the connection between the smiling Democrat insurance salesman down the street and giving power to the radical elites from Seattle.
I spent 37 years in WA, and figured if someone on the GOP side could do at least a halfhearted attempt at explaining to those small town folks why it's important to NOT vote Democrat, that state would flip from solid blue to at least modest red. The assclowns at the PI probably figured this out, too.
???? I am not making any excuses. There are legitimate efforts to develop alternative energy sources, but we should not automatically approve all proposals for government programs that carry the label "alternative energy." How about Al Gore's "green energy credits?"
If McCain is elected, I hope he will veto the worst kind of pork.
I hope McCain approves a line item veto. This rediculous gridlock game needs to come to an end.
