Palin's contempt for Cyprus

Postby CBBB » Wed Oct 29, 2008 4:40 pm

One of the efforts that will assist in securing our energy future is the development of clean-coal technology. And here we have another big disagreement with our opponents. Last month Joe Biden told a voter -- and I quote -- "we're not supporting clean coal." He says clean coal's a good idea for China -- but sorry, Ohio, Joe Biden says it's not for you.

That's just nonsense, and there's plenty more of it in Senator Biden's record. He's against drilling off our coasts, for environmental reasons. But he says that offshore drilling holds real promise for the island nation of Cyprus -- as if the environmental safeguards of the Cypriots are more rigorous than our own. And so far as he and Senator Obama are concerned, nuclear power's okay, too -- but only for France and other European nations. Our opponents seem to have all sorts of solutions for the energy needs of other nations -- now if only they'd focus more on what America needs.

What do you expect to hear from an Ex Beauty Queen, who was the mayor and governor of a town and state with less populatio than Cyprus. McCain thought he could pull the Hillary vote by selecting this stupid woman. Tuesday Obama and Biden will win by a landslide.

Palin

Palin is a joke!

Don't forget the Republican Party has always been a staunch supporter of Turkey.

Greek foreign policy has become hostage to NATO in the meantime. Greece allowed NATO to use several airfields in Greece for the bombing of her Orthodox sister Serbia during the Kosovo crisis.

And little more than a mild protest came from the Greek government when NATO bombed Serbia on Orthodox Easter 1999.

While both Greece and Turkey are fellow NATO members, Turkey is always treated like the favoured son by the U.S.

I don't think the poor woman appreciates Americans have the World's highest Carbon Footprint per Capita, and should be looking to reduce this by any means possible, before she can dictate how others behave.

I am pleasantly surprised! She not only knows where Cyprus is but she refrained from calling us Cyprians!

Bravo Palin 8)

This is why we need to be closer to Russia,our natural allies,who are getting stronger and are the only real threat to Turkey in the area.
