"She said WHAT?"
Posted on 12/16/2009 9:39:27 AM PST by SeekAndFind
fter Arnold Schwarzenegger criticized Sarah Palin’s stance on global warming yesterday, few thought it would take long for Palin to respond. She launched a broadside on her Facebook page, and reminded California’s governor that the “grain of salt” the Governator recommended should be taken with economic advice from the leader of a state in free-fall and unable to budget its money properly. Even if the world is warming, it doesn’t mean that the warming is either anthropogenic or catastrophic — and conservation doesn’t mean killing the economy:
Why is Governor Schwarzenegger pushing for the same sorts of policies in Copenhagen that have helped drive his state into record deficits and unemployment? Perhaps he will recall that I live in our nation’s only Arctic state and that I was among the first governors to create a sub-cabinet to deal specifically with climate change. While I and all Alaskans witness the impacts of changes in weather patterns firsthand, I have repeatedly said that we can’t primarily blame man’s activities for those changes. And while I did look for practical responses to those changes, what I didn’t do was hamstring Alaska’s job creators with burdensome regulations so that I could act “greener than thou” when talking to reporters.
As Allahpundit noted, the attack on Palin seems pretty strange, from a political point of view. After all, Palin has been a bit of a moderate on climate change, not a “denier” or even a skeptic. Having her as an arms-length ally would make a lot more sense to the AGW True Believers, who could (a) leverage her influence on the Right to get some momentum for action, and (b) marginalize skeptics and “deniers” by using Palin in that sense. Even “practical changes” could give enough movement to declare some victories in the US.
This demonstrates that Schwarzenegger cares more about the electoral politics involved than the climate change issues, and he’s not the only one. The AGW True Believers aren’t interested in working with people to build consensus towards a compromise; they want to dictate their solutions and use questionable science and sky-is-falling hysteria to get it. Sarah Palin is the canary in the coal mine, so to speak, that demonstrates this.
And Palin’s right to skewer Arnold on economics. When California shows that it has the fiscal responsibility to actually cut its spending and bring its budget into balance while not overburdening its citizens with oppressive taxes and regulation, then perhaps its governor can offer advice on economics and policy. Until then, Arnold should mind his own store and save his wit for the state legislature.
Good response....and its not surprising that Arnold criticized Palin...he’s a RINO !!!
Don't you love it?
KICK ASS BABY!... :)

Sarah’s amazin’,
Ahnold’s a-dazin’!
“Death panels”, “greener than thou”, “Drill here now”, Sarah is being effective at re-capturing the language- something that the leftists have been good at doing, to our detriment.
You betcha!
And from her speech at the RNC:
“here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion — I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.”
Sarah is a brain surgeon in a tent full of toddlers. Time to put the kids to bed.
The GOP better wake the F up.

For a supposed idiot Palin sure handed The Governator his hat here.
Get some Sarah!
The libs are in absolute total denial about this.
I actaully read a blog post that stated CA would be coming out of its doldrums because the “greening of jobs” would kick in and bring prosperity.
I have a feeling the RINOs are soon going to learn not to pick a fight with Sarah Palin. She is devastating counterpuncher.
The first State to Charge and Prosecute Al Gore for Fraud will Be the State remembered as the ones who saved America.
Spain almost bankrupt.
I "suspect" Sarah Palin has an extensively superior amount of executive experience.
Arnold might be advised to tread lightly... Sarah will verbally castrate him... although the steroid use has probably have taken care of that from a physiological point of view...
Hey Arnold, Sarah doesn't "play act"! This "movie", should you attempt to "flex your muscles" will not have a happy ending scripted for you.
For Greenie both Fly everywhere in there Private Jets.
However, Palin is my new hero. I cannot believe she has weathered the storm and come out smiling. Amazing woman.
Heh. Remember when Arnold first got elected and some otherwise decent republicans were talking about amending the constitution so the GOP could run this clown for higher office?
He had to criticize; he needs Zero to bail out his state.
She's got brains too. She just up and ate Arnold's lunch.

Over the weekend I watch Pumping Iron on DVD Boy Arnold was high
Arnold has finally, completely, lost his mind. That’s what happens when you treat with Democrats.
Let’s compare the carbon footprints of Sarah from Alaska to Arnold, the collector of gas guzzling Hummers.
