Kerry, moveon,org still worried about Sarah Palin

The same Democrat left wing that has been insisting that Sarah Palin is politically dead must have a fear of ghosts. Gov. Palin's Washington Post op-ed exposing Obama and the Democrats' cap and trade ambitions as a cap and tax scheme has elicited strong reaction from Sen. John Kerry in a Huffington Post piece and prompted moveon.org to solicit donations to fund an anti-Palin ad.

Astounding, is it not, that a supposedly "politically dead" Sarah Palin can write one op-ed, and it causes the hard left to mobilize by sending Kerry to his keyboard and moveon.org to initiate an e-mail fundraising campaign to advertise against her?

The editors of Investor's Business Daily:

Kerry, who opposed the Cape Wind project off breezy Cape Cod because a wind farm capturing energy from ocean breezes might spoil his view, went ballistic. In a thinly veiled reference to Tina Fey's "Saturday Night Live" skit, he repeated the warm-monger mantra that the "global climate change crisis threatens our economy and national security in profound ways" and that "Gov. Palin need look no further than the view from her front porch in Alaska to see how destructive this crisis can be."

[...]

From Palin's front porch, senator, she can see "the largest private-sector energy project in history" — her "3,000-mile natural gas pipeline (that) will transport hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of our clean natural gas to hungry markets across America."

From Palin's front porch you can also see the 2,000-acre part of ANWR's frozen tundra that contains 10.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil (such estimates often underestimate actual yields) and that could supply all the oil needs of Kerry's Massachusetts for 75 years.

And from her front porch, Palin can see the Chukchi Sea northwest of Alaska's landmass. Awaiting development there, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, are 1.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, or 30% of the world's supply, and 83 billion barrels of oil, 4% of global conventional resources.

Sarah Palin certainly knows how to push the left's buttons. We can't wait until she is unshackled from Alaska and is free to raise funds and campaign for conservative candidates in earnest. And while she's at it, there are certain to be more op-eds exposing Obama and the Democrats for the drunken engineers they are and the train wreck they are making of Mr. Franklin's republic.
