http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2011/05/31/palin_eliminate_all_energy_subsidies.html Palin: Eliminate All Energy Subsidies DILLSBURG, Pa. -- Asked Tuesday whether she supports the federal subsidy of ethanol, an always critical issue in the presidential nominating cycle, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin went one step further and called for the elimination of all energy subsidies. "I think that all of our energy subsidies need to be relooked at today and eliminated," Palin told RCP during a quick stop at a coffee shop in this picturesque town tucked into the south-central Pennsylvania countryside. "And we need to make sure that we're investing and allowing our businesses to invest in reliable energy products right now that aren't going to necessitate subsidies because, bottom line, we can't afford it."
Yeah, it was. "I think that all of our energy subsidies need to be relooked at today and eliminated," Saying "I think..." indicates she's unsure, guessing at best. "need to be "relooked" at" (maybe that's an Inuit word?) and eliminated. Why would you need to "relook" at something when you've already decided without basis that you are eliminating it?
"I think" is saying "I believe" And "re-look" is a word: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/relook Time for a relook at media stocks? I'm guessing you had a public school education.

Whats your point? This energy thing is pure partisan. She is still in the pockets of big oil as are many on the right.
I ask this in all naivete... If I actually believed in (Issue X), and the people I represent wanted (Issue X), and an interest for (Issue X) wanted to donate to my campaign, that's not illegal, right? Is it considered immoral? Holy cow. Did that all get spent campaigning? Is there a slush fund somewhere he can use for 2012? Where does excess go? Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing him for raising money (I know McCain, Palin, et al also do) but just the mechanics of where it comes from and goes. And if a PAC says that: and his spokesman says , then where does that money go?
My point is politicians should be held to statements like these. There's hope when a candidate at least makes these kinds of statements. There's no expectation if the candidate doesn't.

well, I get what she's saying. Although it's an issue that came later, it's kind of a "big picture" argument that she was trying to say. In the sense that she's clearly not saying that he actually warned the British (as the title implies) as much as he metaphorically warned them. Like a 'shot across the bow' sorta thing. Err... I mean... what an idiot!
You do realize that President Obama got more money from BP than any other politician, right? Do they teach you to think for yourself in college these days, or are your professors moderators at DemocraticUnderground?
"Relook" is a word. LOL There is nothing better than somebody pulling out the Idiot Card while proving that they were wrong, and the Idiot was actually correct.
Yowza. She possesses a different kind of intelligence than other politicians and it shows here. She isn't particularly well-educated in the facts that we've been trained to care about. It makes her appear dumb when confronted when she's questioned by the likes of Charles Gibson and Katie Couric. However, she has terrific instincts about what makes up the American character and sees the world unburdened by nuance. Being able to see in black and white can be a gift; it allows you to get past all the flotsam and jetsam of an issue and get to the heart of it. Taking a 2,700 page health care plan and boiling it down to "death panels", for example. She's not my cup of tea, but I do understand her appeal. BTW, you can tell when she's starting to get out of her depth by her hard blinking while she struggles with words. Obama does the same thing; it's painful to watch.
As much as I would welcome the grass roots type of candidate, some one who could create a groundswell of support from all of the people, as much as I would welcome a female president from simple means with straight forward Teddy Roosevelt no bullshit thinking...that is just painfull to watch.
