Here are some more questions. Let's see which ones Charles Gibson will ask. Are you guys having fun?????????

13. You claim to have fought oil companies, please give us three specific examples of ways you have done this?

14. In 2012 the Polar Ice cap on the North Pole will completely disappear. What effect will this event have on Alaska and global warming?

15. You favor off-shore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, what are the risks of such drilling both environment and economic?

16. In recent articles and hearings, top environmental scientist James Hansen tells us that we have about one year to do something about global warming, yet your energy proposals are based on “drill, baby drill.” and will result in more carbon emissions rather than less. What is your response to Hansen’s findings?

17. When he worked for the government, Hansen’s findings were constantly censored by political appointees, like George Deutsch, whose only purpose for censoring Hansen was “to make the president look good.” What is your opinion of political appointees censoring or meddling with the work of scientists employed by the government?

18. Alaska’s economy is heavily dependent on oil. To what extent is your hatred of Obama, especially his energy plans, tied in with the economic interests of Alaska? Aren’t you putting the interests of Alaska first, instead of the good of the country?

19. Before you took office as mayor of Wasilla, the city government had a balanced budget. When you let office, the city government was $ 22 million in debt. How does this qualify you to run as vice president?

20. Your husband Todd arranges his work schedule so he can go fishing in Bristol Bay, yet you helped defeat the Alaska Clean Water initiative designed to protect the Bristol Bay fishery from the toxic wastes of the Pebble open pit mine which happens to be a foreign oil company.. Scientists tell us that these toxic wastes will destroy the Bristol Bay fishery. Would explain your position?

21. Since you are an expert on Russia what will be the effects on the life of the average soccer mom when the permafrost of Siberia melts?
I’m throwing down the gauntlet. Come on, Gibson, let’s ask some really hard ball questions. Are you “scurr’d”? If you aren’t up to it - Fine. Let ME conduct the interview.

PS. If you think Question 21 was a dumb question, that shows how uninformed YOU are. Get on the internet and find out. For real; it’s a question of life and death.
PSS. Are you guys ready for a war with Russia??? We're in for Armageddon!!! Hey, Sarah, make my day!!!!

Tonight’s the night.
ABC News Anchor Charles Gibson is going to interview Sarah Palin Thursday.
Here’s a list of questions I DARE Charles Gibson to ask. I tried to posted 1-6 on after another article before I reached my 3,000 character limit, but here are some more.
Why not set up a betting pool to see which questions Gibson actually asks.

6, Both you and McCain oppose the Employee Free Choice act, which Barack Obama supports. In face of the fatality rate among workers, like your husband Todd, why should you deny worker, like your husband Todd, the right to union representation

8. You favor a trade agreement with Colombia, where, late year alone, right wing death squads, aided and abetted buy the current Colombian governmen have murdered 39 trade unionists, like your husband Todd, and where 244 trade unionists, like your husband Todd, have received death threats. Since 1986, 2,550 Columbian union members, like your husband Todd, have been murdered. Are you concerned his trade pact will encourage many corporations off-shore of union-paying jobs to Colombia where workers, like your husband Todd, have no rights?
7, You are fond of calling Barack Obama an elitist, yet he has won the endorsement of USW, and of workers, like your husband. Would you explain why?
9. According to a recent recent report by the Mercer consulting firm, the average health care costs will go up by 5.7 % next year. They went up 5.7 % in 2008, and 2008, and 6.1 % in 2007
Since 2005, health care costs have gone up by 23%. Between 2003 and 2007 average deductive for individual grew from $ 250 to $ 400. For a family, it rose from $ 1,000 to $1,500. Insurance companies operate on a profit and feel free to drop people from their rolls whenever their illnesses become too expensive to treat. In what way will McCain’s health insurance plan protect working class people and their families from getting ripped off by insurance companies, especially in view of the future make up of the Supreme Court, which will always side with insurance companies against their clients?

10. You oppose all abortions, even in case of rape and incest. Will you pressure McCain to appoint judges which will overturn Roe vs. Wade?

11. You oppose all forms of stem cell research. Will you support judges who will ban stem cell research, even though children with special needs might benefit from such research?

12. You once said that the war Iraq was God’s task, even though Jesus said “Blessed are the Peace keepers for they shall see God. What other wars would you consider God’s task?

It looks like I've reached my limit. But don't despair I've got some more. I hope all the betters out there getting their bets on.

To the planet:
Burn, baby, burn.

Here’s a list of questions I DARE Charles Gibson to ask. I’m not a betting man, but may Las Vegas can set up a betting pool to see which if any of these questions Gibson actually will ask.
Let’s make this a game of 21.

1. Barack Obama supports equal pay for women. Both John McCain and you oppose equal pay.. Why?

2. You have campaigned for more oil produced on American soil, yet papers published by both the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute want to eliminate the 1977 ban on exporting oil. If Japan or Korea offered Alaskan a higher price for oil than America, would you favor lifting the ban?

3.. You recently told everyone that you put the governor’s private jet on sale on e-Bay. How did that sale actually work out. According to a recent article from the Washington Post, you billed the state $ 43,490 for travel to and from Wasilla.. Why haven’t you made all these details public?

4. What is your opinion of Karl Rove’s indictment by the House Judiciary committee?

5,. Your husband is a member of United Steel Workers. According to the magazine USW@Work, in 2006, 5,840 workers, like your husband, died from fatal workplace injuries and accidents. According to the USW@Work, this casualty rate is caused by a gutting of OSHA by the Bush administration, and overwork and over time which causes worker fatigue. In addition, according to USW@Work, 50,000 to 60,000 workers died of occpational related diseases. Do these statistics concern you?

Sorry, I'd ask more but my 3000 characters are up. I'll see if I can add more next time.
