Palin: I'm a Big Supporter of Offshore Drilling, page 1

WASHINGTON -- Sarah Palin says she remains a "big supporter of offshore drilling" despite the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Article Source

But Palin also tells "Fox News Sunday" that oil companies need to be held accountable. The former Alaska governor suggests that drilling on land in places like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is safer than trying to extract oil from beneath the ocean floor.

Hmm, so she's an expert on Oil Drilling now, both on and offshore?

"Safer" she says

Then proceed to make themselves look stupid and make Palin look like a genius!

Oh sorry, I was unable to find any credible source for where Palin received her Petroleum Engineering Degree. You're welcome to post that info at your leisure.

I love it when people try to make Palin look like she doesn't know what she is talking about.

No one really has to try to do this.

She does it just fine herself.

Seriously...during the biggest oil disaster ever...she is going to say she still supports off shore drilling....IDIOT.

How can you possible not be a big supporter of drilling for oil?

Perhaps these multibillionaire oil companies with money junky CEO's should have had the foresight to invest in safer & cleaner alternate energy sources back in the 80's and 90's, and by now we'd have been able to remove our oil dependency. There's more to life than maximising every last bit of profit so they can pay billions in bonuses. One day the oil will run out, but these companies will all leave it too late to adapt.

For anyone to advocate for more drilling now is simply ridiculous. We've had most of the solutions there for over a decade - solar panels, wind-turbines, hydrogen. We can't rely on oil anymore, and hope that nuclear fusion will be ready in time.

Her being Governor of Alaska, and making deals with the Oil Companies to benefit citizens of her state is enough for me.

LOL...oh stop...please....you're killing me.


Yes...she is an oil expert...and an expert on Russia because she was closer to it than most Americans.

People that are in the Palin cult are hilarious...I mean really...they are paying her daughter who is a single mother that had lots of sex and got preg as a teen to talk about ABSTINENCE....LOL.

Please tell me you seriously don't believe Palin is nothing but a joke...please?

the more you criticize the smarter Palin looks in comparison!

So me being critical of her makes me stupid? This in fact what you are trying to convey, yes?

In that respect, the opposite should apply, where as I guess my stance would be....

the more you praise the dumber Palin looks in comparison!

Safe to say, we agree to disagree

Stop talking about this subject. Since you are not a petroleum expert, you are not allowed to have an opinion on it or talk about it.

Of course I'm being sarcastic. You don't have to be an expert on something to have an opinion on it. I recommend you learn more about opinions and how they work. As it turns out, you don't need to be an expert to have an opinion.

That wasn't an opinion, she suggests it "is safer". Had she suggested "is safer in my opinion" then you'd have an argument.
