DISQUS

AMERICAblog: Sarah Palin wants to let the polar bears die, too. On global warming, she's aligned with" most discredited, fringe, extreme viewpoints"

    I'm not going to read through all the other comments, but has anyone posted that creationism is also one of her *selling points*?
  • larz · 1 year ago
    I read that earlier and was surprised that no one has picked up on that. The democrats need to tie creationism as an attack on science and technology - the very things we need to strengthen to develop new ways to reduce our dependence on oil.

    I was scrolling through the hundreds of posts in this thread when I noticed that yes, it is confirmed that she explicitly blames somebody named "Satan" for the dino bones.

    Or was that the last thread...

    Sarah Palin has an journalism degree from Idaho State AND was a television sportscaster, so I think she knows a little more than those smarty pants scientists!

    She thinks that polar bears make nice rugs near the fireplace.

    Joe...this could be important. Palin's maiden name was Heath. Does anyone know if she is related to Mike Heath of Maine's Chrstian Civic League?

    Does anyone else think this Palin brou-ha-ha is just a distraction from something else the Republican party is doing?

    I'm already sick of the media blitz behind this one.

    The buzz called her Dan Quayle in a skirt but I think we've hit on a Spiro Agnew in suit pants and a swept-up do.

    McCain's extremely tiny penis is evident here.

    After OBAMA's magnificent speech, Old Man McCain realized
    2 measly shrunken inches weren't going to do it.

    Palin definitely doubles the member-size for McCain, for sure.

    She supplies the balls as well.


    He'll supply the Geritol.

    I'm kinda convinced now that most politicians are the product of years of inbreeding ala Deliverance...

    Meanwhile... here is a little flashback about the KEATING 5...

    I can't stand it...

    "She is blunt, outspoken and charming. And don't assume she can't stand toe-to-toe with Joe Biden. She is a great debater. And she was runner-up for the Miss Alaska title, won Miss Congeniality in that contest and plays the flute."

    One heartbeat away from the button...

    IDK, Alaska is a pretty exotic state. What's the Coke-meister think of this?
  • anotherdumguy · 1 year ago
    WTF? McCain picks a woman. I get home and turn on my TV, and Obama and Biden are talking about ir from BEAVER, PA.
    I think this one upmanship is getting way out of hand.

    Eye-rack and nook-yular.

    are you f*ckin kidding me?
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    Sarah Palin has a horrible, whiny nasally, high pitched voice... Yea, yea, yea... I know that is something she can't help but if the Democrats had chosen a woman with her voice we would NEVER hear the end of it!
  • Bostonian_Queer_in_Dallas · 1 year ago
    I've been reading about this little twerp Palin all day and it is beyond hilarious....no experience, barely qualified for dog catcher, thinks Adam and Eve had dino pets, the list is long and scary. I mean really. This is pathetic beyond belief. This scares the shit out of me if Karl Rove has set up his Diebolding again, should the votes be close. McSame could drop dead in two years and this "hockey mom" takes over???? Jesus are we ever so fucked. I mean Jesus we are truly fucked.

    Joe, Didn't you see the Huffpost picture of her sitting on a bearskin???

    SHE'S A NIGHTMARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. I follow the plight of endangered species and this bitch just literally ordered wholesale slaughter and open season on barely improving wolf populations! Not to mention actively working to remove polar bears from protection! She's a psycho-bitch! What woman is pro-Bush platform and a HUGE anti-Enviro? It's crazy! And McCain is schizo. Those are NOT family values for the future or families anywhere. If you give a hoot about the enviro., she's as bad as it gets.

    Dear "Americablog Reader,"

    A few hours ago, the news broke that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been selected by Sen. John McCain as the vice presidential candidate for the Republican ticket.

    As a Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund supporter, you are no doubt aware of Governor Palin’s dismal record, from her staunch support for special interests and Big Oil to her terrible assault on wolves and other wildlife.

    As much of the nation wonders just who Sarah Palin is, I wanted to pass along my statement that I've just released.

    Please read it and pass it along to everyone you know.

    Thanks for your continued support,

    Shocking Choice by John McCain

    WASHINGTON-- Senator John McCain just announced his choice for running mate: Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. To follow is a statement by Rodger Schlickeisen, president of Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.

    “Senator McCain’s choice for a running mate is beyond belief. By choosing Sarah Palin, McCain has clearly made a decision to continue the Bush legacy of destructive environmental policies.

    “Sarah Palin, whose husband works for BP (formerly British Petroleum), has repeatedly put special interests first when it comes to the environment. In her scant two years as governor, she has lobbied aggressively to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, pushed for more drilling off of Alaska’s coasts, and put special interests above science. Ms. Palin has made it clear through her actions that she is unwilling to do even as much as the Bush administration to address the impacts of global warming. Her most recent effort has been to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list, putting Big Oil before sound science. As unbelievable as this may sound, this actually puts her to the right of the Bush administration.

    “This is Senator McCain’s first significant choice in building his executive team and it’s a bad one. It has to raise serious doubts in the minds of voters about John McCain’s commitment to conservation, to addressing the impacts of global warming and to ensuring our country ends its dependency on oil.”

    The fascist republicans lead by McCain and company will spear nothing in a effect to stay off any kind of post election accounting of bushism that sure to happen once Obama is elected and elected he will be!

    No women in American today will choose to put her "right to choose" and the balance of power at the Supreme Court at risk... no woman can be that crazed... well maybe the republican women who are already brain washed and brain dead from the pressures of the Christian far right!
  • Wesinoregon · 1 year ago
    Just reading about her stupidity is sickening. So, she is a Gov. of 20 months? Everyone should know Alaska closes down during winter. Guess that cuts her experience even deeper. Interesting to know that all of Alaska population is the size of Austin, Tx. And, Austin has a mayor. So, she was nothing more than a mayor of a city instead of a state.
  • vlhamilton · 1 year ago
    How wonderful. It looks like the Republican Party has another "Compassionate Conservative" on their ticket! How sad for ANWAR and the wolves and Polar Bears! How sad for the environmental movement!
    Now we have an even bigger reason to make sure we elect Senators Obama and Biden to the White House! Please, everyone, help to get out the votes from voters for peace, progress, courage, compassion and clean energy! These are the true "American Values" we need at this critical time!

    Saw a couple of pictures of her,one she's on a bearskin rug and the other I thought may have been her in a seal skin coat. The natives have every right to harvest these animals,as they have for millions of years,but for her,just to look cool as she thinks it makes her,is just atrocious and unconscionable.
