seems mccain may have chosen very well. as i see more of him obama seems to be a celebrity rather than a commander or serious leader.
if i had a gun and was therefore american id vote mccain.
)[/spoiler]On social issues, she is pro-life, ie opposed to abortion in all circumstances, unless the mother's life is threatened. Member of the National Rifle Association, Sarah Palin welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court of USA ending the ban on carrying weapons in the country's capital.
Favourable the death penalty, it is also opposed to gay marriage and sex education classes in school, preferring to advocate sexual abstinence before marriage.
She also believes that creationism and the theory of evolution must similarly be taught in schools.
On economic issues, Sarah Palin considers himself fiscally conservative, not knowing better system that economic liberalism to ensure the best projects forward.
On the environment, it has repeatedly affirmed that global warming was perhaps not a problem created by man and as governor of Alaska, has complained to Washington to counter the government's decision George W. Bush to place polar bears on the list of endangered species.
On energy issues, it is partisan of the construction of a pipeline to transport natural gas across Alaska and the opening to exploration of the nature reserve Arctic (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge).
In a recent interview with Newsmax.com Palin noted that warming would affect Alaska "more than any other state, because of our location." But she added, "I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made." If Palin is still that ambivalent on climate change, it would put her to the right even of President Bush, who after years of claiming that more research was needed on the issue, now acknowledges the U.S. should reduce man-made carbon emissions to avert dangerous global warming.
She opposes strengthening protections for beluga whales in Alaska's Cook Inlet, where oil and gas development has been proposed, and she spent $500 million in state money to encourage the development of a 1,700-mile pipeline that would transport natural gas from Alaska's rich North Shore. When the Department of the Interior in May listed the polar bear as a threatened species due to warming—an action that could interfere with drilling in Alaska's coastal waters, where the polar bears live —Palin sued the Federal Government in response. "Our main concern with Sarah Palin's positions are that they are based on doing what is best for the oil industry, and not what is best for Americans," says David Willett, national press secretary for the Sierra Club.
"When America set aside the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge," McCain has said, "we called it a �refuge' for a reason."
“So Sambo beat the **Filtered**!”
This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.
Racial and ethnic slurs may be “just Alaska” and, clearly, they are common, everyday chatter for Palin.
Besides insulting Obama with a Step-N’-Fetch-It, “darkie musical” swipe, people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’s Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs” – how efficient, lumping two apparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well as the more colourful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative “f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasillians interviewed for this article.
Brilliant choice.
