Palin's Nonsensical Answer On Domestic Energy

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/18/palin-energy-nonsense/

TRANSCRIPT:
"Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first," Palin said. "So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first."

Common sense? What common sense? Sounded like gibberish to me

Palin rocks! no doubt the left can't understand common sense.

The United States does export hydrocarbons, natural gas and coal are more likely to go to China and India than to domestic companies or power plants. We could use a revamp on our domestic production of items (Clothing,electronics, food) rather than spend resources to cheap labor markets. Environmental and Labor politics needs to adapt. Personally, we need someway to put aside our corporate and progressive agendas for real solutions. Doing everything for a purpose rather than symbols.

Wow. I'm amazed that people comment without even knowing the definition of a simple economic term.

"fungible"??? I guess she is trying to say "tangible." How is ths women even remotely close to being considered a viable leader? She is ignorant to such a degree that it becomes disturbing that she has one adherent., let alone millions. Have we as a country fallen this far off the map intellectually to actually give any credence to the words that come stumbling out of this dunce's mouth?

Well it's totally fungible especially when you compare it to the heaveh birdtation & the dares dareson. Everyone knows it doesn't flag when you behead the pit.
