For starters, my apologies to all for my off the hook posts earlier in this thread. I let my passion get the best of me.

I gotta admit this one makes me scratch my head a little. But I want to know more than just the side of the story we have been told.

She has also okayed the drilling of oil in her neck of the woods.
So drilling on about 1000 acres of the extreme north slope, a barren wasteland, is a bad thing?


Our country is in total disarray because of global warming. The icebergs are melting fast and furiously causing a domino affect with the animals whose lives depend on those icebergs. The forests that the animals live are being ripped apart.
I first refer you to this article.

I sadly do not have it handy, but I saw an article that had some pretty strong evidence that linked global temperature to the suns activity. I mean, that just makes sense. This is not to say that we should not be good stewards of our planet. I support, both with my money and my time, the activities of several organizations that probably do more to protect our environment than you would want to believe. The two biggest ones are the NRA and the National Wild Turkey Federation.

But I digress...

Surely our environment needs some TLC, but I do not subscribe to the sensational ideas you put forth. "Total Disarray?"

Ice Melting?

It seems the topic is still a matter of scientific debate.

FWIW, I pay a great deal of attention to the global warming debate. It matters to me because in the next year or so, my family is going to roll the dice and buy a sizeable farm in South Dakota. I am getting back to my roots and I am going to spend the rest of my days working the land. So this issue matters to me. Alot.

What will a woman with 5 children do if, God forbid, something happens to McCain who is 72 is, which I doubt, elected into office? Will she be able to run this country in his absence??? Don't think so. She doesn't have the experience.
Here is what I do not understand... This woman is everything the womens liberation types want all women to be. Yet, now she is being derided for it. Can one of you ladies explain how it is all of a sudden a BAD thing to be a working mother?

VOTE OBAMA!!!!
Because he is better than YOU! LOL
