Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean”

I got nothing against her hell i only wish it was her running for prez instead of mccain. as for unnamed sources spreading propaganda against her i think their time might be better spent making up some good lies for obama. i haven't heard him speak about one issue other than to dodge around how he's gonna actually accomplish all his big plans.

After serving 4 years of VP, she could very well be the President in 2013.
And that's got the leftwing media and Obamabots scared to death.
So get your hate driven drivel out, start hitting the conspiracy theory blogs.
Sling all the mud you want, its great substitute for reality.

Now that is Bullshit, She is hardly qualified, she has been called on her lies.
Like her being against the bridge to nowhere. She was trying her ass off to get the funding for it until congress started saying what a big piece of pork it was and then she suddenly turns against it.
She got caught with her pants down and she had to reverse herself. Look at her record, she isn't as she appears.
Most of the Men who think she's all that are just voting with their dicks and not using their brains. Jesus, if your going to make a statement like that, at least make it factual.
Palin is nothing but a desperate attempt at gaining the Pissed off Hilary Clinton Supporter vote and nothing else.

CCAGW: Bridging the Knowledge Gap on the "Bridge to Nowhere"





Last update: 6:29 p.m. EDT Sept. 11, 2008


WASHINGTON, Sep 11, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) today released a backgrounder on congressional funding for the bridge from Ketchikan to Gravina Island in Alaska, better known as the "Bridge to Nowhere." The material addresses some of the questions raised about the history of the bridge and its ultimate demise.
"There has been much debate and even more speculation about how funds for the Bridge to Nowhere were first provided, Congress's role in changing the nature of the funding, and the various options the state of Alaska had to build the bridge," said CCAGW President Tom Schatz. "Many in the media and the public are providing an opinion when they should be providing the facts. We intend to continually update this document on our website as additional verifiable information becomes available."
The Bridge to Nowhere was first funded in August 2005 through the 2005 SAFETEA-LU Act through a $223 million earmark inserted by then-House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Don Young (R-Alaska). In October, 2005, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) offered an amendment to the fiscal 2006 Transportation Appropriations Act to transfer $75 million in funding for the Bridge to Nowhere, along with money for the Knik Arm Bridge in Alaska, to support the rebuilding of the Twin Spans Bridge in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. His amendment was defeated by a vote of 15-82. Senators Biden (D-Del.) and Obama (D-Ill.) voted against the amendment; Sen. McCain (R-Ariz.) was not present for the vote.
In November, 2005, Congress included language in the final version of the fiscal 2006 Transportation Appropriations Act that allowed the state of Alaska to either spend money on the two bridges or on other surface transportation projects. In October, 2006, Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski included $91 million for the Gravina Island Bridge in his budget submission for fiscal year 2007. As a candidate for governor, Sarah Palin expressed a mixture of support and doubt about the bridge, particularly about how the project would be funded. As governor, she submitted her budget on January 17, 2007 without any money for the bridge. On July 17, 2007, the Associated Press reported that "The state of Alaska on Friday officially abandoned the 'bridge to nowhere' project that became a nationwide symbol of federal pork-barrel spending." Governor Palin said in a statement that "Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport, but the $398 million bridge is not the answer."
"Media reports that Congress killed the Bridge to Nowhere are not accurate," said Schatz. "The 2006 transportation appropriations bill allowed Alaska to decide whether or not to move forward. Governor Murkowski said yes; Governor Palin said no. Any discussion about the project should begin with facts."
The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste is the lobbying arm of Citizens Against Government Waste, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government.

You got your drivel, I got mine.

Mr Factual.

So, both B. Hussien O'Bama and Joe Biden voted in favor of funding the Bridge to Nowhere" and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin turned it down. That sounds about right to me.

Palin only turned it down when it was becomeing unpopular in Washington DC, before that she was working hard to get the funding from Washington DC. Nice try at covering it up but it's already out that she was for be before she ways against it.
