“Extreme deep water drilling is not the preferred choice to meet our country’s energy needs, but your (environmentalists) protests and lawsuits and lies about onshore and shallow water drilling have locked up safer areas. It’s catching up with you. The tragic, unprecedented deep water Gulf oil spill proves it.” Sarah Palin (or more likely her ghost writer)
Sarah Palin is a liar. No shades of gray - she's a liar - and a stupid one at that. When it's not an act of God, it's the environmentalists' fault. In fact deep water drilling has been the greatest focus of concern for years. There is more red tape, regulation and the potential for litigation with deep water drilling than in shallow. The fact that there have been more suits involving shallow wells is because there are just more shallow wells. But big oil has not been "forced" to go deep. There are thousands of unused shallow water leases. The 'safer' areas have not been locked up. It's all about return on investment. They go where they think they can make the most money. Profits.
Palin and these other dirt balls never made any distinction between deep and shallow drilling before this mess. It wasn't 'drill shallow drill'. This is juvenile and twisted and bizarre. It's the sort of reasoning that enables one to blame the Jews for enraging Hitler. It is inflammatory, disingenuous, irresponsible, and utterly unproductive game playing. She cares nothing about truth, our environment, or even the average working man who must live and work on the gulf coast. Inflame, anger, agitate all to keep her speakers fees high. To date she has cashed in on her 'political' career to the tune of 12 million dollars and all she's ever really done is ride the coattails of a real politician in a failed run for national office and turn her back on the State of Alaska midterm.
