Sarah Palin: Cause of Global Warming 'Kinda Doesn't Matter'

Back to blog

Give me a break

John McCain is not confused - you are. He is not showing signs of dementia - he remembers who his wife is - one President seemed to forget. And the remark about the cancer is plain dirty.

I agree that Sarah Palin needs to learn more about global warming and needs to more carfully choose her words. But, honestly, I think even if she gave a carefully worded thesis on global warming, some people who just don't want her or John McCain in office at any cost, would complain about her answers.

She is indeed religious (oh, horrors!) but to call her a fundamentalist extremist, is just plain over the top. An "American Taliban"?? Sounds like you need to get informed more than she does. Obviously, you don't know what that means.

If Gov. Palin were given the time that Barack Obama has had to be informed, I believe things would be totally different. He didn't know anything about global warming either until he had time to study it, trust me. I read your note before checking your gender, but I would have guessed it from the extreme negative comments.

The good ole' media

No matter what Palin says, how she says it, or what she is really saying, will be taken out of context and exploited by the media. Quite simple to see.

Those of you who want to vote for Obama have no creativism. If you did you would want to be rewarded for it and not have it sucked up by Obama's socialistic state.

Can It Really Be Fixed?

I, for one, am glad to see a slightly cavalier approach to global warming. It's interesting that the topic has gone off the air a little bit recently, thanks mainly to the fact that recent reports have come out to show that our air temperature hasn't actually increased as predicted.

The media and governments don't like that - it doesn't give the newspapers a story and the government can't use it as an excuse to tax.

Palin's attitude of not worrying about what caused it might be because she's seen the same reports that say it wasn't all man's fault in the first place.

Cheap slander

Judkis obviously is not a journalist.

Just bored. The headline quote taken out of context implies one idea. In the next sentence Palin says "we need to do something about it." Opposite idea. Just crap.

Cause of Global Warming 'Kinda Doesn't Matter

Well, she's kinda right.

Isn't it just like an Obama luvin', left wing, tree hugging liberal to grab a Headline by scouring for the most innocuous turn of a phrase by Palin. If you’re so interested in Global Warming you and your Al Gore worshipping, idiodic comrade’s should stop blowing so much hot air.

Johnny, I don’t care how your room got messed up, but it better be clean before dinner!

That’s the way normal people talk – Mom’s not politicians. You remember Mom – she’s the one who didn’t abort you.

We don't need an airhead as President

If John McCain can't serve as President, we don't need an airhead who thinks climate change kinda doesn't matter taking over.

John McCain is confused, showing signs of dementia, likely to have his melanoma cancer return and is mindlessly spouting lies from his sleazy, dishonest campaign. Another four years of Bush would totally destroy our country and this is what the American people would get with McCain.

Sarah Palin is clearly unqualified to be President, is a religious fundamentalist extremist who would take away a women's right to choose and would create an American Taliban reversing all the gains in civil rights. For the sake of our country, we must make sure that Barack Obama is elected President.

Palin says the cause doesn't matter, we just need to fix it.

If one wants to fix a problem, one must know what caused the problem.

How can Palin say that it ''doesn't matter'' what caused global warming, but we just need to fix it?

If we don't know what caused global warming, how will we know the way to fix it?

Palin's ramblings become more devoid of reason with each passing day.
