Get the EPA out of the way. Get the feds out of the way.

Constitutional rights. The rights of the people. Those resources belong to them. Same for Texas, Florida, California, and any other State with oil reserves.

Drill, Baby, Drill!

You see that liberals like Bob, cherry pick the evidence they find on the web. They are nothing but google addicts and believe any thing on the web that supports their debate. Fools and idiots they are and I have proven it here on town hall!

From here..http://www.anwr.org/case.htm

Since July 1977, the pipeline has carried more than 13 billion barrels of oil from Alaska's North Slope. During that time Alaska oil has supplied 20% of domestic production, amounting to nearly a $300 billion offset to the national trade deficit. Natural gas, produced with the oil, continues to be reinjected pending studies to determine feasibility of a pipeline to U.S. markets. Prudhoe Bay gas reserves are 30.9 trillion cubic feet.

CHRIS WALLACE: "Would you say you're more knowledgeable about domestic and foreign affairs now than you were two years ago?

PALIN: "Well, I would hope so. Yes, I am. Two years ago, my engagement was on the state of Alaska, largest, most diverse state in the union. 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy coming from our state, desiring to and working towards ramping up that domestic energy production. That was my focus and now of course my focus has been enlarged. So I sure as heck better be more astute on these current events, national issues than I was two years ago."

In fact Alaska, largest, most diverse state in the...

It was a good tough interview and Sarah Palin came off well holding her ground. Bewtween her kick as* Tea Party speech on saturday, a good interview on sunday morning, and some more kick as* speeches in the great state of Texas Palin has had a great weekend. I love it! Sarah Palin publically kicks Dumbo in the nuts time after time and little Obama is running scared of that mean Sarah Palin. LOL, watching Palin toy with Obama, is like watching a lioness toy with the poodle that is Obama. Dumbo is running scared!

You may have noticed that many women have decided to voice their opinions lately. Women who previously thought it was better to be silent.

Is that being "mouthy"?

I attended a Tea Party rally in April of last year. It was great--thousands of people being what you would call "mouthy". Yes, we used our mouths, our voices, to be heard. No guns, no hatred, just words.

Guess what? There were men there, too. Would you call them "mouthy"?

McCain will win his re-election to the Senate.

Palin therefore will have a loyal supporter there. How you feel about amnesty now is irrelevant. It's coming on a fast track and hopefully conditions will be placed on it by people like McCain. Or would you rather have Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer doing the honors?

Either way; Palin won't be hurt with McCain on her side. We shouldn't care what Cindy McCain's giving her money to. The money belongs to her. She won't run for office.

We can't take her seriously when she supports a man who supports amnesty. A man whose wife is doing same sex marriage contrary to what 30 states have decided when voters were given the choice. If she supports state rights then she should not support a candidate who wants a federal ammendment to support same sex marriage.

She needs to have boundaries.

There has to be a lump in Hillary's throat; to see what kind of cupcake took the nomination away from her. Inept Bum!

McCain OTOH, has been a class act. You won't see him unravel or hurt the ones who hated him. When La Presidenta has her term, he'll make a worthy cabinet member. The guy's a gentleman.

keep us safer but the short'sighted voters voted with their emotions instead of brains! As for the Muslim President Obama, what in his background prepared him to be our 'commander in chief'? Furthermore, being his fathers 'Muslim' son, he doesn't have the heart for putting his
own down. Perhaps that is why he is so laid back and has ignored the seriousness of Islam
terrorist?! Only when heavily pressured, does he take a stand and fight that enemy.

of her own. While she gives John Mc'Cain moral support it doesn't change her. No politician will agree with every position their choice for a leader stands for. They should decide if the good is more good and the bad less bad, then in the other ones being considered and support that person. She has been faulted for supporting ScottBrown, when he is pro'choice. Well, she isn't going to marry him ha and again, why can't one take the bad with the good, when the good is so strong for the prosperity and security of Americans? Go Sarah!

Dreadnaught. Anyone with common sense would in all fairness have to challenge your unfounded wild opinions and factless assumptions, covering Lady Sarah. Palin hasn't been corrupted by the Wash., establisnment, not yet anyway, ha! She is the real deal sincere and honest. So she
isn't perfect but give credit where credit is due! Lady Sarah, a true Patriot and gift from God, Amen!

I noted that Chris Wallce took her to task for endorsing Rand Paul. Now, I have some disagreements with what I know of Rand Paul, but at least (as far as I know) Paul's basic understanding and defense of the Constitution are solid - not so John McCain.

As I said, I like Palin, but her endorsement of, and campaigning for, McCain will hurt her. That certainly troubles me.

They won't because they all say they hate big govt and then cry for more Medicare. I'm with Bachman on this one, cut Medicare until it dies on the vine.

Ya think?

That's why Dread is spot on when he writes, "Palin supports the exact same policies of George Bush and Cheney. Stuff that the Tea Party folks claim to oppose 75% of. If they hate big government, fiscal insanity, and corporate involvement with government (or vice versa), then they should shun this woman."

to become beholden to another is shown here with Palin's decision to back Mc Cain instead of Hayworth. Mc Cain is NOT on Sarah's plane of thought concerning any aspect of governing, and I believe that backing him will indeed hurt her somewhat; but what is she to do? she clearly owes him
'something' for giving her the opportunity of being able to get out there into the public limelight so she can lend her support to the conservative cause. What to do, what to do, what to do.
What would the rest of you who are dissing her, do were you in her shoes?

I really think she gets it. I don't know if she will run for the presidency in 2012, or that I would support her if she did - it's too early.

Having said that, I don't agree with everything any politician, even those who I would vote for hands down, says. I think she's wrong campaigning for John McCain. I understand her loyalty but I think it will cost her with her reputation as a solid conservative. It's an indication that her convictions are not as solid as I previously thought.

I have possibly not heard the words spoken by Sarah Palin out both sides of her mouth.

Nor do I suspect her of cynicism because she trusts the Tea Party camp to treat her fair and square.

Nor have I ever despaired of the Republican Party being the one which is basically honorable. ALL factions; Neo, Paleo, center, right of center-- One party with honor. Otherwise-- really cynical people refuse to be united, IMHO.

The Democrat party is hopeless, I think.

Third party candidates aren't what we need. We need good leadership. We need it in the GOP. And we have no need of dividers. A third party is only a divisive affair / or *good* for the Democrats.
