Not wishing to be outdone by the krazy new kids on the GOP block, Sarah Palin just posted her latest bizarre conspiracy theory to her Twitter feed: the Obama administration is deliberately destroying jobs to pass “cap and tax.”

Yes Sarah "Pls,FOCUS" on your "job" as unimpressive as it is. For example just because you're twitter, doesn't mean you have to write in short hand! In fact since you're not taking part in a conversation where time is of the essence, there's no reason at all for you to go QQing in 1337.

Well, it's no secret that I would like to see the moratorium lifted, but this is stupid.
The President really is between a rock and a hard place on this.
I understand why he thinks it was necessary to call the moratorium, but just happen to also believe it's the wrong thing to do, and he has been given lots of information about the impact of the moratorium that I hope he gets around to looking at.
But he didn't do it for the purpose of destroying jobs. He did it to try to assure the American people that steps are being taken to protect our waters from other incidents.

On a funny note my son realized after he got to work out in the hot sun yesterday that one of our annoying cats had peed on his hat. So my husband ran into WalMart and bought him the only cap that did not have a Razorback on it. It is an army baseball type thing. I told him he looks like Che now....my husband said "No, looks like Palin".
He refuses to wear the hat now.

I don't use the Left/Right scale to measure political stances. I refuse to be limited by the boarding requirements of horses.
I use a Wise and good/Batshit crazy scale instead. From my point of view the differences between the Batshit crazy of the 'Left' and Batshit crazy on the 'Right' is like the differences between a rattlesnake and a water moccasin, merely aesthetic.
The important point is that if you're bitten by either, you're fucked.

I don't know about the exploiting part, but the cap and trade proposal has a built-in provision for 4.2 billion dollars over 8 years for the people who will lose jobs with the passing of the cap and tax plan.

The woman is correct. anyone with any common sense or even a small amount of knowledge of deep water drilling will tell you that there will be thousands more jobs lost than what the white house will tell you.
one example is a deep water drilling tool company in Houston. has lost over a half a million dollars since the announcement of the moratorium and I realize that many don't really care at all how many Texans lose their oil related jobs but he also has reduced his employees by HALF. I guess they could become census workers and get laid off and rehired so Obama can count them several times for his next jobs report.
