Palin Fought Polar Bear Protections and took sides with big oil companies. Is this the person to run America?

While arguing against the U.S. government's own studies, Palin has embraced research funded in part by the petroleum industry, which concluded "it is simply not prudent to overstate the certainty" that climate change, or any other single factor, is responsible for "observed patterns in polar bear population ecology." McCain's vice-presidential pick, Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin, sued the Bush Administration in federal court recently, charging it was too accepting of climate change studies which overstated the phenomenon's impact on polar bears. The result, she argued, would be a negative impact on her state's businesses, including oil and gas extraction.

    She is not the person I want to run our country if McCain were to drop out. Palin is not the one. I'm sorry but I do not want her as a VP. All Obama all the time.

    Do you realize that Polar Bears are actually INCREASING in #'s since the '80s? Polar Bears on the protected list is just stupid to begin with.

    Climate change activists/alarmists have no problem lying and misrepresenting scientific algorithms to link unrelated things together to further their political agenda.

    Polar bear meat is yummy!!!! Who cares about a fricken polar bear. As for drilling for oil- most Americans would like to be able to afford to fill up their cars again.

    Drill for oil on American soil to help the American economy.

    Palin knows that humans come before animals - unlike the baby-killer party.

    Sounds good to me, unless you have come up with a way to have the polar bear power my car.

    If not, please be quite.
