Palin Said Apt To "Cut, Kill, Dig, Drill"
Source: CBS News/AP

McCain's Running Mate Has Had Frequent Run-Ins With Environmentalists, Especially In Alaska

(AP) At the National Governors Association conference where she first met John McCain, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had other business: making her case to Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne against classifying the polar bear as a threatened species.

Months later she sued Kempthorne, arguing that the Bush administration didn't use the best science in concluding that without further protection, the polar bear faces eventual extinction because of disappearing sea ice as the result of global warming.

...

She has defended Alaska's right to shoot down wolves from the air to boost caribou and moose herds for hunters, and - contrary to a view held by McCain - is not convinced that global warming is the result of human activity.

Environmentalists have nicknamed Palin the "killa from Wasilla," a reference to the small town where she formerly was mayor.

"Her philosophy from our perspective is cut, kill, dig and drill," said John Toppenberg, director of the Alaska Wildlife Alliance, maintaining she is "in the Stone Age of wildlife management and is very opposed to utilizing accepted science."

6. Mind-boggling ...
It is astonishing that this woman could actually become Vice President. Senator Biden's resume/experience totally overwhelms Palin's. She has no experience in foreign affairs, no national policy experience, along with being vindictive and mean-spirited. This countries recent history is to reward ignorant "no-nothings" and look down upon intelligent public servants. It is maddening that, for example, an Ivy League education is "elitist", but it is OK to attend five universities prior to obtaining your Journalism degree from the University of Idaho. My faith in the American voter has nearly become non-existant. People "out there" seem to love her.

I've checked some of the "woo woo" wingnut message boards, and it is astonishing to read the comments. I truly hope that these comments represnt only a small portion of the voting population. It is of the utmost, critical, importance that the Obama/Biden team win in November.

Sorry about the rant :)

18. Oh well. At least Palin brings some executive experience to the ticket.
By their logic, McCain has none. Hell, why not actually put her at the top of the ticket (she's already the defacto presidential nominee)?

3. "very opposed to utilizing accepted science"
Well, no wonder. IIRC, science is against the word of almighty GAWD.

Kill!! Kill!!! Kill!!!!

Gosh, haven't we evolved beyond that? I guess not because so many are actually buying her cheers!

It amazes me how so many can be easily lead by the nose.

19. For Ellen
Thought that I had apologized for the typing, which would include paragraph breaks. Sorry it was unreadable for you. Guess I will break it up and use smaller words next time.

You made my point for me, thanks

20. You are unreadable - due to not knowing how to make paragraphs.
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 08:29 PM by superconnected
And you are most likely a freeper - due to your little attack on the last person who pointed out your lack of paragraphs. Smaller words have nothing to do with lack of punctuation. Lack of education does.

That said, your post smells like freeper all over it - right down to your inability to punctuate.
