Kerry keeps after Palin

Global warming is non-sense. In the 1970's it was Global Cooling and they wanted banned areasol spray cans. The libs and environmentalist can't make up their minds. What caused the ice age to melt?...airplanes, suvs? Be reasonable people. Temperature changes are normal. If you are so worried about the continued existence of planet earth then you should be more concerned with the nut jobs who have nuclear bombs and will use them. Spend time controlling the what can be controlled and not on some theory of global warming. Granted there are many "scientist" that say it exists BUT there are just as many scientist and perhaps more that say it is a falsehood. The real basis is for people to make tons of money on you based on nothing.

It irks me that people talk of "global warming" as the reason to change the way we consume non-renewable energy resources. I don't care what the 200-year snippet of 5-year smoothed temperature profile looks like, but based solely on satellite data from 1978, the globe has been cooling since 1998.

The real reason: non-renewable energy sources don't last forever. The wells won't be able to supply our demand forever (maybe 10-20 more years). If we're not prepared to transition some energy demand to a different source, that would be catastrophic. A small sacrifice now may help us avert a complete future financial meltdown.

John Kerry...another FAILED american experiment!!!

If you are ready to give the government even more money then support Cap and Trade...higher gasoline...higher diesel fuel...higher consumables at Wally World...higher utilities...sure go ahead support Obama and his leaches who are sucking America dry

You go Sarah...you got em runnin!!!

What's Kerry going to do when Obama gets booted for not being nat. Born US Citizen? That's right, new movie about him- Harry Potter and the half-blood Prince! Bye Sotameyer, bye GM, Bye Chrysler, bye AIG. May save USA

Hey Sen. Kerry, pass me some of that ketchup (Heinz), you stocked up on, when you married the misses! On a serious note...wait a second, I cannot think of one with Kerry or the great GW Con!

No one in the world is buying it, even Europe, hell Spain's unemployment is through the roof, because of this crap. For every 1 green job, Spain has lost 2 jobs. Cap & Trade may have some merit in theory, but it is a house of cards and a shell game for the elite to cash in on the pepople of USA.

Radical Reductiist, Cutting through the BS Everyday!

Sarah Palin is worthless! I wish her retirement would have meant we would hear less of her.. apparently not. How hard is it to see through the rampant corporate greed in this country and that shils like Palin are promoting a plan that works only for the ultra-rich?! Open your eyes! Keep fighting the fight Kerry!!

I am so surprised by so many comments that speak of the "fraud" of Global Warming. Recent polls have suggested that scientists in general agree somewhere around 80-90% with the Global Warming Theory. I think people get confused because their weather hasn't suddenly jumped 20 degrees over night. That is not what Global Warming is. The temperature of the oceans rises causing changes in the weather that we are already seeing (wetter years in the deserts, dryer years in the rainforests and odd weather at all times of the year). Before people criticize Global Warming I believe they should at least understand it and post real arguments against it.

Kerry has posted a nice editorial about truth. While I am a self proclaimed liberal I do have to agree with some on here that he is not the most trustworthy politician. He is, however, not incorrect in his statements here. Energy reform into the new millenium is going to create so many jobs that currently are not here. If companies were to create factories to produce supplies here then we would benefit even more than current proposals show. The government can only go so far in producing jobs, companies also have to be willing to adapt to the new millenium or all of the jobs will go overseas, unfortunately. Energy companies should follow smartly along these lines and adapt so that they can benefit from this, however too many are spending countless dollars campaigning against the future instead of adapting to it. Social evolution at its best, companies who fail to adapt to a new strategy inevitable cease to exist.

My utility company has already stated that we can expect by next spring an increase of approx 12% due to acquiring energy from "green" sources. Cap & Tax is what it is - a giant CON.

this legislation will:
have zero effect on any real climate variation
propel the unemployment levels to upward of 14.8%
escalate average consumer utility costs 25-30%
succeed only in making large government larger
have no effect on multimillionaires such as Kary

Can any of you on the right debate an issue without insulting a person? All of your comments are just insults. Making fun of someones looks; the way they speak; the state they reside in; etc etc. It's old hat and quite childish! The issue at hand is "Cap & Trade", not John Kerry's apearance.

Kerry as a truth-squad leader? Give me a break! I think he's using Palin as an object for his vendetta against the conservatives. Poor guy, he still needs the spotlight.

The Huffington Post and Daily Kos. Two liberal leaning rags.

The moral of the story. Who Cares.

I'm from Massachusetts -- John Kerry is a big bag of hot air and a major cause of climate change. John Kerry loves to hear himself talk. He specializes in misguiding people. John -- there will be job losses and [hopefully] new jobs created. Tell it like it is. A lot of people will be displaced from their current jobs. Those same people may get displaced for a long time and may have to change their live styles to fit a lower income. And it's NOT going to be one (1) job gained for every one (1) lost. This is more than just a numbers game -- these are real people your dealing with you horse's a$$.

John Kerry is nothing but an overt stooge for Ted Kennedy. Ted should resign from the Senate due to his health in which I have great empathy due to a loss of the same nature.

Kerry married millions (Heinz) and will never have to live the life of a "typical" Amereican citizen.

These people in Washington are so full of b.s. that if they are in such a hurry to rid the nation of "obnoxious gasses" they should simply place a shroud over the entire beltway. That would eliminate 50% of the toxic gas on the east coast.

It should be impossible for 536 people (House-Senate-1 President) to completely dismantle a nation but these clowns are proceeding at an unprecidented rate.

God help our grandchildren.

if we eliminate all the comments that have to do with name-calling or that disparage Palin or Kerry, what do we get? evidence of an informed electorate? a civil discourse on the merits of each side? this country desperately needs to teach civil and productive political discourse....

Love how rich people will say anything to throw people off the truth. Do you people really think that those idiots in D.C. aren't going to tax all of us? They could of used Eminent Domain type of law to keep people working and saved all those trillions of dollar. Take their profits like they take our land for the good of the masses not the few. If your company lays off anyone for the profit margin we'll take that profit to keep them working. I'll guarantee you that with any law of that type layoff would be removed from the dictionary. Cap and trade is the only way the president can get around to taxing everyone without being a lair about no new taxes below two hundred thousand. Sarah is just trying to keep them honest. How fast the dems up north turned on one of their own even if she was a rep. until the lower 48 dems said sink her you idiots. In sports we stand behide our team even if they suck. Not one person on this earth will ever get everyone to agree remember what happened to Chrit?

Sad that Kerry had to waste the time and energy to respond to the certifiable idiot.
However, ignorance needs to be reigned in. Good job Senator!

SARA PALIN WILL NOT GO AWAY. SHE SHOULD TAKE TIME OUT ENTIRELY AND DEVOTE HER TIME TO HER FAMILY. IT IS OVER, LET IT GO PALIN WE HAVE HAD ENOUGHT OF HER REMARKS WHICH MEAN NOTHING. THANK YOU AND GOOD BYE!"

Kerry, Palin, Cheney,

Does anyone, anywhere, care what they have to say?

Sarah Palin is an oil inspired 21st century nazi. She would do anything to protect her donors at the oil company, even if it comes at the cost of refusing to address the facts of global warming. In no way would this bill harm farmers or Joe six pack. And YES, it is obvious that the bill would create thousands of new jobs for middle and low class citizens. Furthermore, why does anyone still listen to this woman? Do people even comrehend the low level of intelligence of virtually everything that come out of her mouth? ... She still is hot though, so I better pop a few viagra and listen to what shes says on mute...then I bet she's super smart!

Considering that Palin is the (ex) Governor of Alaska, a state that survives off of kickbacks from Exxon and other big oil companies, I hardly think she's a credible voice on energy reform.

Duh! For those who want to write Palin off as "insignificant" or a lightweight might do well to hold on to something sturdy- or you risk being blown away. She is a major force and has a virtual army encouraging her to continue forward.

I live in one of the fly over states and we are always astounded that Massachusetts elects low lifes like Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank and know nothings like John Kerry. I have been to Boston and I know there is intelligent life there but you would never know it by the representatives you elect.

kerry a a bigger freakin LIAR then obama the Marxist LIAR

I'm from Massachusetts -- John Kerry is a big bag of hot air and a major cause of climate change. John Kerry loves to hear himself talk. He specializes in misguiding people. John -- there will be job losses and [hopefully] new jobs created. Tell it like it is. A lot of people will be displaced from their current jobs.

Kerry: Palin's numbers are wrong! Here, trust these numbers from the completely objective and unbiased...Center For American Progress?

C'mon, even Wikipedia describes it as "a liberal political policy research and advocacy organization." Next time you all want to pat Kerry on the back for "telling the truth," just remember to do the same to a Republican senator when he starts pulling numbers from the Cato Institute to support a Republican initiative.

Somebody's got to talk back to what there is of content in Palin's accusations. She's got that Alaska viewpoint on oil and we all know she wants to drill and despoil the wilderness up there. She's got that extraction for profit mentality and it's nothing new (we did it to the redwoods long time ago) but she doesn't seem to have the preservation consciousness that I would think goes along with "conservative." When did conservative start to mean money grubbing and denial of habitat? That's more exploitation than conservation. Everybody knows this.

Please read "The Great American Bubble Machine" from Matt Taibbi and you will understand how "Global Warming" is a money maker for Goldman Sach those in the Know. Kerry and others are marching to the same drummer.

If you believe that the USA should do this when the rest of the world refuses, you're idiots. Most developing nations such as China and India will not join this crap of an idea.

Palin is insignificant and inconsequential to the point of being self-satirizing. The Overbaked Alaskan should return to the confines of the Artic wilderness or continue hunting endangered species from the comfort of her helicopter. We simply don't need her advice.

So how does a posted comment wind up not being posted? Does the truth hurt that much?

Kerry obviously doesn't know anything about math or he would know that Palin is right on with her comments. If $1.2 billion more income is to be generated from his environmental improvements that would result in 80,000 new jobs, that means an average of $15,000 per year to each new job it creates. He has not considered that addtiional costs to generate $1.2 billion in new income would reduce the salary and the number fo jobs he is talking about. If we continue to rely on foreign oil and the price continues to grow over the next 10 years, Palin in absoulutely correct, more jobs will lost do to high energy costs.

quite interesting. Instead of addressing the issue: energy policy, everybody is talking about people.

If anybody thinks that growing grass and "burning" it in cars will ever achieve an energy independent US than he will get what he deserves.
electric cars - there is not enough power in the system to re-charge those batteries.
a rationl solution would be to build a national power grid, that will aloow to build efficient atomic power plants( breeders) far from urban concentrations( so "accident" concerns are mitigated, but nobody is talking about it as gossip is juicier.

if a short term sol

Kerry is a bore and not believeable. Anyone who thinks we can change global warming without China, India and others are fooling themselves. This will not work and all it will do is put the US in a precariuos position economically. Of course, people like Kerry have nothing to lose.

Sounds to me as if Sen. Ketchup wants his own Nobel. How sad.

Palin is all sound and fury signifying nothing -- as the quote goes....

Palin's interest is simply Palin.

That said:

Kerry is trying to show how wrong Palin is, but unfortunately neither Palin nor her followers want the truth. They want their worldview to be right, never mind the truth.

You cannot convince someone who cannot and will not recognize reality.

Trying to convince anyone like Palin that he/she is wrong is a waste of time.

Ugh, John Kerry? Atlleast I can read his comments, it is far faster than listening to him speak. I don't know, do any of you trust any of these people? Republican or Democrat? They all seem to pretty much stink at running the country. I think we, regular people, are going to be on the losing end no matter who is in charge. I use to believe in Global Warming but I have doubts now, the left is trying to hard to destroy any one who doesn't agree, just makes me wonder. And my vote for Obama..what a waste, what a disappointment, no change, no difference.

Chicken Kerry: "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" All you henny-penny Dems keep cowering with him. Morons.

Gov. Palin suffers from a juvenile intellect. Her political consciousness arises from and defines itself by religious and social issues -- a limited view. As a former beauty queen (who looks good in her expensive outfits), she relishes the limelight and the adulation. The youngsters call someone like her a "drama queen." Last year, she received the maximum attention of her lifetime as the vice-president candidate of the Republican Party. This experience spoiled her permanently. She enjoys being the center of attention. Now she has run away from the nuts and bolts politics of her home state. Further, she hates her state’s ethical restrictions on political figures like herself who will not or cannot distinguish between state and personal spending. Her mentality dooms her. The Republican Party bosses realize the disaster she helped visit on the failed presidential campaign, by her antics and her arbitrariness. As a result, she will never again run for higher office, although she may take a stab at it out of a flawed personality seeking attention for its own sake. Her past will not disappear in the brightness of her smile. In fact, the national spotlight reaches past the smile test to the nooks and crannies of the entire picture of an individual’s life. Gov. Palin under this intense, non-stop scrutiny will appear clearly as a lightweight not ready ever for anything involving national responsibility. The news media on a slow day will continue to publicize Gov. Palin for the inherent dramatic interest of this coverage in order to gain audience for pleasing advertisers whose payments to the news media pay its bills. Gov. Palin will serve as public popcorn.

Anything that John Kerry says is laughable! He believes that job creation means that he takes our money and pays someone to do the job. He is clueless how many people no longer have private sector jobs because he prefers everyone work for the gov't. He has the same viewpoint on charity. He doesn't believe on giving anyone his own money, but he will take ours so he can feel "charitable" to everyone who asks him for money. It is his life to spend other people's earnings!

I guess I'm not bright enough to get all the subtle nuances of the cap & tax plan. I haven't read the plan, but I as a Washington State resident I do know that forced use of "Green" energy will significantly increase your monthly energy bill. A couple of years ago WA voted to require a 20% use of "Green" energy. Funny how hydro electricity didn't count as green, so now we must purchase the difference to total 20% at ridiculous rates, while our much less expensive hydro power is sold elsewhere for a nice double dip by the power companies. While I don't believe 100% of what either side says, I do know that the more effort and legislation expended by the government for "our own good" always comes at a high price and even though I have not read the plan yet it is beginning to smell familiar already. Better warm up the checkbook.

If you all want our country to improve, you should really start paying attention to Sarah Palin, because she is going to be your President in about 42 months from now.

Gwen Ifill's question about cap-and-trade during the Palin/Biden debate on October 3, 2008:

IFILL: We do need to keep within our two minutes. But I just wanted to ask you, do you support capping carbon emissions?

PALIN: I do. I do.

Outstanding job Senator Kerry! Bravo.

Come on! Sarah Palin just doesn't have the intellectual depth to be in public office.

In the Cap and Trade Bill, you as a home owner will have to have someone from the government come in and inspect your home, before you sell it, and tell you what you need to upgrade and replace. This could cost you more than what your house is worth, if the market continues to fall. I don't understand why so many people want the government watching their every move and telling them what they can do and say. Perhaps, some would be more comfortable with a video camera in their home with a red light and a green light so you can know what to choose on a day to day basis. Do we really want Cap and Trade forced down our throats? Voted on and signed in the middle of the night like a thief in the night??
This is about us as American People...

Here in the DC area, we pretty much agree that Palin had a ghost writer for that piece. She cannot speak a coherent, non-tangential, meandering sentence. Therefore, how can she write one?

Palin does an Op-Ed in that notorious right-wing paper, the Washington Post. Kerry responds with blog entries on the Huffington Post and the Daily Kos, famous bastions of objectivity both. Was he afraid that the big bad "wingnuts" wouldn't let him lie with impunity unless he used websites, parts of which have repeatedly been disavowed by President Obama? I'm old enough to remember when the "Letters to the Editor" at the Globe at least attempted to present both sides of the story. Tom Winship is rolling over in his grave.

John Fraud Kerry...truth squad...STOP! You're killing me
BWAHAHAH

Kerry and Bravo in the same sentence = Oxymoron with the emphasis on MORON.

The only hope the GOP has of winning back the White House in 2012 is if the Obama administration proves to be a spectacular failure. Palin is positioning herself for the moment -- if it comes -- by being the candidate who said the loudest: I told ya.

Do the math. By Kerry's figures each job would cost the Govt. (us) about 900k pr job. Hows that for efficiency...a real "job machine". Now if our competitors such as China and India state that they will not abide by any new standards for CO2 emmision then profit, business, and jobs will be going overseas. I guess he forgot to mention that.

Palin's refrain on energy and environmental issues... same ole: "Drill Baby Drill"

This is old-school resistance to change and it's dangerously myopic, ignoring long term problems created by current methods of energy consumption and extraction.

The U.S. will have to be disciplined and forgo seeking only short-term gains as we transform our infrastructure and human capital to stay competitive in energy, science and technology.

We have some strong opinions on here today. Most of you have no idea what you're talking about. You're going to make grand claims that global warming is nonsense when it's been taught as fact up until about 8-9 years ago when our Oil Man was voted into office. It's fact that ocean levels are rising, ice is melting and the climate is changing. Those are all facts. Not disputable... but you dispute them anyway. Why is that? Because facts don't get in the way of Repulbican ideals.

And for those Sarah Palin lovers, keep loving. We're not scared at all. Although I love the rally cry. We're afraid of a dimwit!! Maybe we are a bit because we just had to deal with 8 years of one dimwit that you all put in office. And maybe we're afraid it will happen again... But I actually think most democrats would appreciate and enjoy seeing her be your top candidate next time around. I know I would love to watch more debates where she can showcase her nervous winking twitch and lack of common sense. And then we can also watch soft reporters like Charlie and Katie lob more softballs at her to whiff at. I mean really, the next Reagan? Whoever wrote that is just dillusional.

These discussions are a waste: Mitt Romney is the choice

I am impressed that ex-Gov Palin was able to gleam this much information from People Magazine

"First Kerry advocates "Wind Energy". Simple follow up question. Mr. Kerry, if all federal subsidies for "Wind Energy" were to stop, would "Wind Energy" be economically viable? Answer: Only inside of the District of Columbia. (Lots of hot air)

Second Kerry advocates "Bio Mass". Simple follow up question. Mr. Kerry, if all federal subsidies for "Bio Mass" were to stop, would "Bio Mass" be economically viable? Answer: Only inside of the District of Columbia. (Full of s....)"

Ok, they are not more economically viable today without the subsidies. So what? They are undoubtedly more clean. Heating your home with firewood is probably more economical today, but where would we be in a few years if everyone did that?

Why are people arguing about the exact details of the global warming 'debate'? Aren't these the same arguments we heard in the seventies about mercury going into the water and acid rain in the nineties? You know what, so of those polluting companies probably did go out of business when the new laws were passed, but it was still the right thing to do.

I agree we need to debate Cap & Trade as a means to a solution. We need an effective answer, and we need facts to find one. 90% of the naysayers are not presenting an alternative, other than the status quo. When it comes to pollution and spewing things into our atmosphere, I think we can do better than we are doing, and I think we should.

This is conduct unbecoming a U.S. Senator. John Kerry should not be twisting himself into gymnastic contortions on this. He doth Protest too much. It's clear that Palin has struck a chord with the glass-chinned liberal crowd, most notably Kerry.

Hey John Kerry - Why the Long Face??

(Hee!)

Any group of voters who would actually elect Jon Carey to any office, including dog catcher, have proven beyond a doubt they lack enough intelligence to deserve that privilege to vote. Carey is an embarrassment to our country, and should be brought up on charges. Me thinks you conservative haters doth protest waaay too much.

This guy is a such a bore. All the countries problems are solved, the promised unemployment figure is below the 8% target. John Kerry (and Ted Kennedy) are examples of poor leadership. Kerry brings nothing new to the discussion. Who cares about Palin? Quit distracting, John. John. Do the job you were elected to (by blind-sheep voters) and stop the sideshows. If you are bored or incapable of doing you job resign please. I liked you much better when you said and did nothing, which you seem to do except for these minor outbursts of nothingness.

Truth squad? John Kerry? His Vietnam service record is a sham and Palin has more integrity than Kerry could ever dream about. The only positive aspect of Franken getting elected to the Senate is that Minnesota is now a bigger joke than Massachusetts. It is such a disgrace that we are stuck with these idiots for 6 year terms and that there are no term limits! Democracy at its best! It's hysterical how the loonie left and their media cohorts keep attacking Palin but she always manages to rise above it! Go Sarah...01/20/13

Both sides have lost track of the truth in climate change and neither side is correct.
No one disagrees with the warming of the planet, but rather the cause(s).
We earthlings spend 10% of our time in an inter-glacial period and the rest in a glaciating environment.
There is no question that the current inter-glacial period will end as the increased moisture (primary climate driving force) through added cloud coverage spreads to increased snow in both hemispheres thus reflecting the key wavelengths from our sun back into space, bringing on the ice age as it has always done.
What happens bewteen now & then is irrelevant.

Sarah, watch out, Johnnie might be tiring of Tereza, he might be using these articles as pseudo-intellectual foreplay to try to attract you.

John Kerry Truth squad. That is just to funny. I wonder if he asked Manny Ortiz about Sarah. Maybe the truth is with his medals, that he first threw then didn't throw away. Must be with his medical records for his purple hearts.
BTW MK the sunspot activity is decreasing and so is the average global temp. Libs never let the facts get in the way of a good argument.

How dare John Kerry attack Palin's family!

At some point the people who didn't vote for John Kerry because he married up will realize they voted for a guy who married up in the next election.

John Kerry is a big LOOOOZA.

Sarah Palin is NOT a conservationist.

OK, if you want an economical alternative. I can offer several.

First. The obvious one. Nuclear power. Also obviously missing from our new "energy policy". Cut the red-tape, and get some built. BTW, Obama's stunt regarding Yucca Mountain was obvious political deception. The licensing process with the NRC is still moving forward. Nothing else can be done, til the NRC issues a license. Bet no one heard that from the state-sponcored media.

If you want to get "greener", how about tidal/wave energy. While unreliable, it is still far more dependable than solar or wind.

Third, how about hydro power. Did anyone notice that no one is talking about it. BTW, in Washington state (state with the most hydro potential), hydro is NOT even considered a "renewable energy". That is because the "government' wants to force the development of wind energy. I can only guess whose pockets get bigger because of it.

If you want to solve an energy crisis, how about using people that actually understand the technology, instead of attorneys that are trying to figure out how to profit from it.

BTW, the "money" that is paid to farmers for wind-farms, comes from my income in the form of higher taxes, because of federal subsidies. It is a known FACT in the electrical industry, that "wind energy" will end immediately, when the federal funding stops. Because it is unreliable and un-profitable.

You pinheads can not think on your own, cap and TAX is a power/money grab for the far left Obama whitehouse. Obama himself said to reporters before the election that cap and trade will make our energy cost skyrocket... But of course you didnt get that audio clip from the far superior mainstream media huh?

Global warming this, global warming that. Glaciers are re-forming in the artic and yearly temp averages are on the decline. There is NO real scientific proof that our carbon emissions are causing any global warming.

I am from Wasilla and cannot help but find it funny all the print that she is getting. Here, she is known as wanting to be popular and ambitious. Not known for being smart. And really folks, since when do women who enter beauty contests are out to help the world? They are out to help themselves. They may even like attention and money. As far as being a great point guard, she was never able to play for the schools she went to after hight school. And now we are expecting her to understand what the best things are for the USA? She doesn't know, and is more interested in sounding good than in learning.

As much as I detest Palin and her bankrupt philosophy, I can't help but fear that John Kerry is the wrong person to take her on. I vote for Kerry when he runs for re-election, but only in November. I never vote for him in the preliminary election because I think he's been a fairly ineffective senator. He's a media hound, he's more interested in grabbing onto an issue and milking it then he's interested in bringing some substantive results and, frankly, he should have learned working alongside his colleague, Senator Ted Kennedy, that substance is much more rewarding than flash. Kennedy's a workhorse. and may well be the greatest senator in the history of the U.S. Senate. Kerry should've emulated his senior colleague during the past 24 years. But Kerry, alas, has no soul. I'll still vote for him, because I could never vote for a Republican. But Kerry should let Claire McCaskill or Barbara Boxer take on Palin. Kerry does not help. Palin's smart enough to play the gender issue against Kerry. And Kerry's foolhardy enough to let her succeed.

The more the Democrats go after Sarah Palin, the stronger she becomes among the lunatic fringe of The Republican party and the Taliban type Christians. Go get her folks, the best thing that could happen is to have her seize control of The Republican party and turn it into the Titanic, after it hit the iceberg. Her Republican party needs to be turned into the tiny, doctrinaire, xenophobic collection of tin hat wearing gun-nuts that can finally get the respect it deserves, before we flush it.

I am sick to death of all those elitists in Washington DC who think they know everything and that I can't make decisions for my own life! I want the government to shut up and get out of my life and I want those idiots in the government to get out of Washington, go home, shut their mouth, get a real job, and do some real work for a change! Maybe then they could bring some real hope and change to the country!!!

Could you come up with two more irrelevant politicians?

I'm a Republican and I believe Sarah Palin is the epitome of what an idiot is. She runs on borrowed brain cells from Dan Quayle. I'm happy she's leaving her role and pray to the high heavens above we don't see her in 2012. LOR RRRDDDY.

John Kerry, If you think "the most important legislation we've considered in a long, long time is tackling global climate change" you've lost your mind! Are you kidding? You are so out of touch it is nothing short of astonishing.

I wonder if Kerry would like to talk about his relationships with AIG? Na, probably not, it's not a convenient truth. I wouldn't give you two cents for Kerry or Palin. Kerry could only get elected in Massachusetts. Palin was probably a good enough governor of a very small state (by population) but not ready for prime time. Neither of these two are worth the space you're giving them, let them have their little spat by email between two of them and leave the more sensible, intelligent people - that would be everybody else - out of it.

Kerry's hypocrisy is outrageous. He's all for wind power, except if it spoils the view of Nantucket Sound for his rich friends. He's a terrible senator, he doesn't do anything for the good of the state, he's a congenital liar and a loser.

Excuse makers for the Bush years are not out of business just yet. Sarah Palin is a loser and a quitter and you are falling all over yourselves with the one liner cheap shots and excuses for her failings. Sarah is countering by using the Rush Limbaugh technique,...blame the other side with the slime you are accused of possessing, then, change the topic citing some tangential trumped up controversy shouting louder and louder. Then, keep repeating all of it over and over until the loyal followers believe the repetitious hoohaw. Voila! There you have it, Sarah is a sucess and makes sense!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey TiredOfBlueStateHypocrisy:

You're way off base about the Dem's trying to make Palin look like Dan Quayle. She makes Dan Quayle look slike a rhodes Scholor.

But please, run her again. She's the best insurance we have against the neo-cons returning to power and destroying our economy and our Constituion.

Kerry-three months in Vietnam, three purple hearts and a silver star, all phoney. Navy officers at the time wrote themselves up for commendations because they were considered honorable and above reproach. The navy long ago stopped letting officers write themselves up for awards, sweet Jesus, what a liar. We are supposed to respect the word of a gigilo, how silly. What is a shame is that he is the best the democrats, of which I am one, have to offer as a candidate.

as a mass native and viet nam era vet I'm still amazed at the 2004 election.that said,ex-gov. palin has again tried to appeal to the lowest common denominator in order to get an audience.jeezzzzz!!!!, how can anyone not see how ignorant(see dubya) she is.if you try just once to think for yourself you'd all see this.kerry actually earned his yale degree(again dubya),so i tend to give him the benifit of his education.

Sarah who?

Loved the Levi sell out this weekend on her real motive -- cash!

Thankfully she is just grabbing from the economic wheel her Republican Party promotes (at least on the National level) and not going the I am in office and will extort from you!

Kerry should go to Spain where they decided to go green creating thousands of new jobs in the environmental field. Problem was for every job they "created" they lost 2.5 jobs in other fields. Cap & Trade will do wonders for job creation... in India & China.

As an aside, we now know why Kerry has a long face, Øbama runs him over whenever someone yells "Liveshot" He finally found a narcissist that was faster to the mirror and camera than him.

During the presidential undemocratic primary Sen John Kerry said that America would be proving something to the Muslim world is we elected Barak Obama our president. When asked why, his responce was because he's a black man. We have indeed proven something to the Muslim world, that democrats hate women almost as much as they do.
Drilling in the US and using our natural gas would help decrease the effects of global warming just by reducing the need for our involvement in middle east conflicts. Our domination of the iol rich middle east results in enormous polution, as pu

Palin:

"Drill Baby Drill"

Obama:

"Tax Baby Tax"

Back in the '70's, somewhere along Comm Ave, I had the opportunity to give Kerry a knuckle sandwich. I'm sorry I pulled back. Might have knocked some sense into him...

Kerry has supposedly been a leader in Washington during this period that America has sunk into this abysmal state we are now in. Now rather than face the truth and help us find solutions he chooses to spend his time writing rebuttals to an ex-governor of ALASKA! Mr. Kerry, this is why you lost to a weak Republican candidate, the issues you choose to spend your time on are ridiculous. Unemployment is still rising. The stimulus plan is failing. Jobs in Massachusetts are disapearing. You choose to engage in a time consuming debate with a person many in your party consider a light-weight! It is a good thing Kennedy has long coattails...John F Kennedy that is!

Apparently someone forgot to remind Palin that she was for cap and trade last fall during the campaign. Once again, Palin opened her mouth in a desperate attempt to sound wonkish only to prove (once again) that words are hollow to her, only to be memorized without any indepth understanding.

I don't know what poll you are looking at that says 80-90% of scientists believe in the global warming theory...please cite your source.

The only poll I can find is a pew reasearch center poll that 84% of scientists believe global warming is caused by man made actions. That is all well and tru, the problem is that the poll polled all types of scientists not just meteorologists, climatologists, or earth scientists.

Quite frankly, I don't care if a "anthropologisst" or a "psychologist" thinks global warming is man made or not.

I applaud Senator Kerry for his commitment to this issue. And while I agree with Governor Palin that Waxman-Markey is not the best way to mitigate global climate change, I also believe that we have to look at the alternatives before it's too late. I implore the Senator and his colleagues to look at the system that the leading economists and scientists recommend: a revenue-neutral carbon tax. It would significantly reduce emissions, avoid the evasion and market manipulation inherent to cap and trade, incentivize "green" R&D and return the revenue to the people.

Kerry is a greedy tax fraud, he and Theresa bring in millions every year, they pay a whopping 12% in taxes. while the rest of us pay 30% and more even Bush pays 33%.

Kerry your opinion means nothing.
Sarah go democrat, and I will vote straight republican.

John who?

I didn't realize Kerry was still relevant.

Empty suit vs. Empty suit.

Nobody wins.

Kerry a leader? You're kidding! I thought he lost. What I remember about his campaign was the video of him walking around holding that rifle. He looked like Elmer Fudd. I'm surprised he didn't shoot himself in the foot! That's probably something else he could learn from Sarah Palin--how to shoot!

Are the Clinton's also paying Kerry?
I heard a comment the other day that has been hanging in the back of my mind....
"The Clinton's are behind all the falso ethics charges, private investigators, and negative media coverage against Palin"
Think about it.....
1) They certainly have the means to pay these people
2) Hileary wants more than anything to be the first female president. Is she afraid of Palin?
3) What other eeason is there for the media to be bashing her so aggressively?

2)

It seems that the people commenting here believe in Palin rather than vv. She is like a contemporary Joan of ARC.There is some recession going on and a phenomenal debt for bankrupt America. Her idea to invest in greener technology and to contimue to use the natural resources in the states alongside, is more realistic and cost effective than wholesale promotion of greener energy and the outlawing of other forms. RE capping READ outlawing energy not produced and controlled by the PARTY. ie Nationalisation. Think of the power having a monopoly on power would give Obamacamp....All in the name of saving the planet!
Do not trust blindly folks QUESTION.
