I'm scared that she'll hit me over the head for the last pair of designer shoes on the sales rack. :eek3: Not really, I don't wear designer shoes. :giggle:

I don't think she does, either.

That's fine.

As long she's not calling the shot on environmental policies.

Need to drill our own oil and get away from Middle Eastern oil and oil from unstable and unfriendly countries for a change. Canada is the U.S. #1 oil importer.
 
Trust me, she got some seriously expensive designer clothing and accessories during the campaign. I loved her boots! Now, those I would buy if I could afford them.

Are you quoting Palin's book? You need to cite.

You guys don't have much oil, hence the reason why you need to import it from the Albertan oil sands.

Expensive shoes or boots do not equate as being designer shoes.

She didn't buy them. The campaign team did it for her, and her husband, and her family.

Yeah, one of the reasons she was investigated. For not returning thousands of dollars worth of clothes.

Sallylou, looks like you should have said designer footwear. lol.

Incorrect, in the Green River Shale formation alone (in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado) there is an estimated amount of oil locked up in the shale that's several times bigger than Saudi Arabia alone. About twice as much as Middle East oil. You need to study up on this, logger. There is even an oil drilling boom in North Dakota (Bakken oil) which happens to be the only state out of 50 that gained jobs rather than lost jobs. This oil estimates do not even include the potential amount on offshore oil such as the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic and Pacific, and even around Alaska, too. We're literally saturated with both conventional and unconventional oil, and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas, too. Not to mention potential use of methane hydrate which is estimated that the U.S. carries the greater percentage of the world's methane hydrate.

So why can't we just use this and stop fighting?

pst pst - we're trying to deplete Middle Eastern oil fields so that we can make them buy our oil at triple rate :cool2:

oh crap! :mad2:

Beside they keep talking about having plenty of oils in here and that we should try to be less dependent on Arab nations as winning point to get elected... and then they never follow thru it. Been like that for decades. nothing new. :cool2:

In short, environmental wackos, lobbyists, and politicians who thwarted every attempt to do so. Thirty some years ago about 70 percent of our oil came from our own oil while 30 percent were imported oil. Through lawsuits and politicians getting in the way we now use oil where 70 percent of it is imported while 30 percent from our own backyard domestic oil. It's better to drill for our own oil and create jobs, become more oil independent, re-circulate the money back into our economy and at the same time have more freedom and less worry to work towards an oil-free energy economy. We spend about $500 billion a year on foreign oil. Imagine re-directing most of that money back into our own economy for a change.
