Is Pallin pro-Science?
Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 09:50 AM by samsingh
The argument that Alaska being near Russia makes her an expet on Russian foreign policy is a vote for Osmosis - well learning through Osmosis. It's half science really.

1. She needs to be grilled to a crisp on her views about evolution and the origins of the Earth
That would be very revealing.

5. That quaint notion about a land bridge between Alaska and Siberia
would also be interesting to revisit.

9. Question # 1 from journalists should be...
"How old is the earth?"

Second: "Do you expect to see the end of the world as we know it during your lifetime?"

Only problem is, so many Murikans would answer the wrong way on those questions themselves that more of the dumbshits would end up vote McLame/Failin.

18. I don't expct to see the end of the earth in my lifetime. The end of the species
is a different matter.

2. It's "spooky action at a distance"
Slightly more seriously, we know she's never been to any part of Russia; has she ever had a Russian visit her as part of the governor's job? If not, then the "she knows foreign policy because of being close to Russia" can be smacked down in one easy move.

3. Depends on what they taught her at Wasilla High
Her degree plan required no science classes from what I saw. I guess most what she knows about science came from Field & Stream and the wingnuts she listened to on Sundays.

7. I am awaiting news on what books she has ever read. Ever.
I have a strong suspicion that Miss Wasilla is the most ignorant choice for VP ever.

8. Gee, could that possibly be one of the many reasons they won't let her talk to anybody?
I know I'd like to hear the answer to this question from her mouth.

10. We've all learned that location = expertise. I always wanted to be a pirate,
now, I can say I have experience because I live near the ocean! Great!

11. more like the holy ghost entering her body
being filled with the spirit , so to speak

LMAO

Palin was filled with the spirit of foreign policy experience. She is washed in the blood of the caribou and is filled with the spirit of experience. She was anointed with crude and touched by the hand of party elders.

19. Pro-science - NO. Pro-intelligence - NO. Pro-decency-NO.
Se seems to be pro-censorship, pro-big brother, anti-constitution, anti-civil rights, anti-humanist, anti-common sense, pro-Palin.

24. She's for choice when it comes to Science
Choose to believe what you want

-- the oil crowd vs. global warming scientists
-- creationism vs. evolution
-- whether or not polar bears are endangered
