WTF?!? Palin: Oil Spill Proves We Were Right About 'Drill, Baby, Drill
Edited on Wed Jun-02-10 10:01 AM by kpete
Palin: Told You So About Drilling!

Sarah Palin says Deepwater Horizon catastrophe proves she was right about 'Drill, Baby, Drill' since she only meant drilling on land -- even though she also meant drilling at sea.

........................

Last night, former half-term Alaska governor Sarah Palin believed she'd found a way to both absolve her oil-happy politics and blame environmentalists for the spill at the same time, and took to Twitter to rub it in.



"Extreme Greenies:
see now why we push"drill,baby,drill"of known reserves&promising finds in safe onshore places like ANWR? Now do you get it?"

3. IF the British Petroleum Gusher in the Gulf proves anything
it's that ANWR will NEVER be drilled because drilling in a wildlife refuge is simply too dangerous.

16. Yes but that location would be easier to hide from the public's eyes than a densely populated area
should a major oil spill occur.

5. She is revising the original intent of "Drill, Baby, Drill!"
When she and alll the other GOP goons were chanting that phrase at the RNC Convention, there was never any proviso that drilling on-land was good but drilling offshore was to be avoided. All their speeches and talking points demanded that we drill here, there, and everywhere, including offshore drilling, even deep-water drilling.

Gawd, I hope the GOPers run Pailin as their candidate in 2012. As popular as she is among their base, the polls show that the rest of the country sees her for the ranting idiot that she is.

23. You are absolutely correct.
And revising history works pretty well in the land of the 28 second attention span.

6. If you kill 11 people on land while driller it doesn't count
or is it because they would of been Alaskans and we already know Sarah doesn't care about the people of Alaska?

Somehow, she was able to keep her past BS out of the spotlight by keeping her f'ing pie-hole shut. What an ultra maroon.

24. Palin demonstrates better than anyone, even Bush, why reason doesn't work with these people.
Edited on Wed Jun-02-10 11:58 AM by glitch
They are reason-incapable, mentally disadvantaged. Their reptilian brains are in charge, no higher functions can break through.

IMO.

edit: although Tony Hayward is giving her strong competition. Actually, she's got quite a bit of competition lately, the field is getting crowded. Blankenship, Netanyahu, Blankfein, practically an infinite supply of the reason-disabled.

27. Hateful divider, once again.
While other people (politicians and private citizens)are working on solutions she's spreading the division and hate.

Some Christian. Everything that comes out of her mouth is hateful and divisive.

Hmmm. Someone else is famous for division and hatred. Could it be......

SATAN?

so that she can swim in it with ecstasy. Plenty of oil around!

31. Drill, baby, drill is just insane at its core?
Who will do the drilling? The US government? The Little Sisters of the Poor?

No, it will be done by global mega-corporations and there is no guarantee that any of the oil will remain in the US. In fact, there's every reason to believe that it will not. The oil will be sold on the world market to the highest bidder. That could be China. It could be Japan. Anyone. It won't reduce prices, because oil producers won't allow prices to drop. If the prices do start to come down, they will throttle back production to get prices back up.

The only ones who will benefit from "drill, baby, drill" are the mega-corporations -- not the people of the US.

ANWR is used by people who don't want to humanize what is really is - a refuge for Wildlife
