A Pro Palin thread

It was not her bill.

On June 12, 2003, Keith Ashdown of Taxpayers for Common Sense, an advocacy group that tracks federal spending, issued a news release awarding a "Golden Fleece" to Rep. Don Young, the Alaska Republican who sponsored the bridge. The AP even wrote a story about it.

As for Palin ending the project. Gosh, what was she thinking? She was being fiscally responsible.... the horror!
A congressional committee directed the $225 million earmarked for the Gravina Island bridge to the Alaska Department of Transportation. So Alaska would keep the money, but it would no longer be tied to the Bridge to Nowhere. Alaska could decide how to spend the money as it saw fit. But with the estimated cost of the bridge rising sharply, and amid the reality that more federal dollars were not forthcoming, Gov. Sarah Palin officially killed the project on Sept. 21, 2007.

Sounds like she knows exactly how things work and what can get done and what cannot.

I noticed you have only focused on the Bridge to Nowhere. One of better moments as I have shown.

Next!

"Many just accept that lame duck status, and they hit that road. They draw a paycheck. They kind of milk it. And I'm not going to put Alaskans through that," she said.

How about she just does her fucking job? I mean... either she thinks the Lt. Governor can do it better... or she just doesn't wanna deal with the scrutiny anymore. Either way, out of her league. Not presidential material... couldn't even finish her first term.

Alaska has been succling the govt teat for decades. I will getcha some numbers.


Lastly I found this quote... and I just had to share. "When, earlier today, Sarah expressed a desire for more "Trigs" in the world, I could not have agreed more, because Down syndrome is just too cute to be reserved for 1 in 800 births."

God that is insensitive and funny. Probably lost for humor on you...

you don't just quit.

You will also notice I go one thing at a time. I like sharing too. I notice that you are intellectually dishonest. Sharing is caring.

That entire paragraph up there is a distraction from the fact that Palin supported that bridge and road until, out of embarrassment, the fed cut funding.

Once dumped she is the chick that says "I'm leaving you...".

Do you deny any of the following:

1. Sarah Palin supported the bridge before funding was cut.

2. The project was a national embarrassment.

3. Once funding was cut, Palin said "no way".


If so please evidence and address those things only please.
