Those who side with Big Oil and other corporate polluters over new clean energy jobs for America will likely pay a price for doing so on November 2, 2010.

The only question that is left is whether the promised popularity of her book says more about her or about those who buy her book.

Worse than the fibs therein is the impact on the environment of wasting paper and fuel to mass produce this tripe.

This article is WEAK. They proclaim Palin is wrong and foe proof they quote someone else proclaiming Palin is wrong. Of course cap n trade IS a tax on low income earners. Of course it violates barrys promise. Redefenition of terms is NOT the change Americans voted for.

Your use of caps isn't going to change anyone's mind unless you can explain how the CBO is wrong.

Sarah has her own views on environmental & energy policy. Millions of Americans look to her for guidance & wisdom in these crucial areas.

I read the first two supposedly false hoods told by Palin. The arguments that she was wrong are pretty flimsy themselves. They admit more than one cap and trade bill and the one would have raised costs a lot on the poor. So much for truth in in the fact checkers.

The second sounds much the same, while there may be a way to opt out of universal building codes, it probably wouldn't be easy and might be costly, and would definitely help attorney's out at the cost of everyone else. Again, the fact checkers seem to be using misleading spin more than facts.

This is not surprising. We don't need to report on every idiotic lie that comes out of SP's publicity machine. Just the ones that get loudly reverberated through the faux truth echo chambers are even worth mention and only to protect ourselves.
