Palin: 'Trust the oil industry'

[Ban Hammer 13,345]

I don't think anyone needs permission to ask a question.

Just wondering why you think Palin and Limbaugh don't have a chance at elected office.

full of questions, yet no answers, this one.

as i said before, when you start answering my questions, then you will get answers to your questions.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Wow you're really quite petty aren't you Charles.

[Ban Hammer 13,345]

Wow you're really quite petty aren't you Charles.

more like a refusal to play your game - you know: you ask questions, want answers, yet offer no answers of your own.

Like how I refused to play your game - you know: you ask questions, want answers, yet offer no answers of your own.

Yes Charles you are petty.

Yes Charles you are petty.

just one small detail you've overlooked - i asked you a question first.

so who's really being petty here?

Yes you did. But it was moot, you could have answered it for yourself were you inclined to actually participate. Regardless, I don't owe you anything Charles.

What I love about you Chuck is how it's really important to you to appear just that one step above, even if the difference is so incremental that it's effectively difference at all.

Marvellous.

how was it moot, when you have nothing to say about expanding your statement? and how can i answer it on your behalf?

seriously, i was quite interested in what you would criticize obama about. instead, you've taken this opportunity for dialogue and turned it into a sidestep circus. congrats!

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

You could have answered it on your own behalf, on the basis that there is a lot to criticise Obama for. You don't need my opinion in order to do that, do you?

Unless perhaps you think that Obama is doing a flawless job... Who knows - perhaps you do, but I doubt it

Besides, it had little to do with what I was talking about.

so i am supposed to answer for you. duly noted.

and while there are a few minor things along the way, i think obama is doing pretty good.

Palin called the spill "very tragic" during a speech Saturday night in Independence, Mo., according to the Kansas City Star.

But as a major proponent of offshore drilling, the former Republican vice presidential nominee said that she'd still wants "our country to be able to trust the oil industry."

"We've got to tap domestically because energy security will be the key to our prosperity," she said as part of a 30-minute speech, which she echoed in large part the next day in Wichita, Kan.

Hrmm, not so sure I 'trust' anyone, but she's bang on accurate about energy security....

The title is misleading. It implies that Palin is telling us to "trust the oil industry" when she really said "she’d still wants “our country to be able to trust the oil industry.”". Two different things. One is a statement the other is a goal or wish. All in all I find nothing wrong with what she said. Energy security is a key to prosperity.

me too... wondering if the list is as trivial as i'm thinking it would be.

Spill, baby, spill!

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

I know I trust the oil industry since they have our best interest in mind.

No doubt. Now that the goods are spilling into the Gulf, the oil industry is coming to realize that it isn't their oil but ours. Isn't that nice?

You answer for yourself, Chucky. I think I made that fairly clear.
