McCain and Palin the Reform America Needs!
The energy situation is one of the most important issues this election. John McCain chose one of the best for the job when it comes to energy. Choosing the Vice President is the first move as a President and it really tells us the judgment of the next President of the United States.
Sarah Palin is a reformer and “Governor Palin’s credentials as an agent of reform exceed Barack Obama’s. Mr. Obama rose through the Chicago Democratic machine without a peep of push-back. Alaska’s politics are deeply inbred and backed by energy-industry money. Mr. Obama slid past the kind of forces that Mrs. Palin took head on”(JohnMcCain.com).
Governor Sarah Palin is the head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. She is for offshore drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and the Artic National Wildlife Refuge, but she is also for imposing new taxes on the oil companies. And you all know how I am against taxes, but you would think that this might make some liberals happy. Fortunately, Palin did say, “…a national windfall profits tax on oil companies will hinder domestic energy production”(Associated Press ).
Palin has also pushed, “…for more competition for the construction of a $26 billion pipeline to bring natural gas from the North Slope to the lower 48 states by favoring the TransCanada pipeline project, backed by independent companies over one proposed by BP and ConocoPhillips. She has tangled with Exxon Mobil and other oil companies over their reluctance to develop gas fields on state land” (Associated Press).
And of course Sarah Palin along with McCain are strongly for finding new alternative energy. She and McCain are just for helping the American hard working families well we wait decades for every single person to be able to afford a new alternative energy automobile.
