So again, the truth is:

1) She really did get rid of the Governor’s executive jet. Yay!
2) She really did put it on e-Bay – though in the end, it had to be sold a different way… big freaking deal.

Palin was or wasn’t for the bridge but in the end didn’t accept it.
vs Biden is guilty of a serial perjury.
I get it now.

Palin, in fact, did the right thing and cancelled the Bridge to Nowhere.

Even Alaska Democrats admit that and give Palin credit. P.S., Jody, Palin wasn’t elected in 2007; she was elected in 2006. Get your facts right.

Or, in other words, Biden is too stupid to use his eyes.

Furthermore, I know that to the elite left, any bridge that doesn’t connect to Manhattan is a “bridge to nowhere.”

Indeed, she had opposed it since her election as governor.

Dan, she never opposed it. She reluctantly walked away from it. Then lied about it.

Congress killed the specific earmark in 2005, though kept the money in the budget. Palin campagined in Ketchikan in 2006, saying “OK, you’ve got Valley trash standing here in the middle of nowhere. I think we’re going to make a good team as we progress that bridge project.”

When asked directly about building the bridge later that year, she said ““Yes. I would like to see Alaska’s infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now – while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.”

When she finally cancelled the bridge after being elected in 2007, she was still very much in favor of it, saying:

Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it’s clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island. Much of the public’s attitude toward Alaska bridges is based on inaccurate portrayals of the projects here. But we need to focus on what we can do, rather than fight over what has happened

But she still kept the money Alaska had gotten.

So, at the convention, when she said: “I… championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress “thanks, but no thanks,” for that Bridge to Nowhere,” that’s a flat out lie. She did no such thing and her speech was far from accurate.

Which wouldn’t be so bad if she wasn’t still using it in her stump speeches. It’s one thing to “exaggerate” for effect, as both Obama and McCain do with the numbers they sling around about the effect of their rivals tax plans. But she’s flat out prevaricating.

The Bush story is wrong:

Oh, he knows. Thing is you’re supposed to be so stupid that you’ll believe everything he says so he doesn’t feel so stupid for believing it himself.

Dan, it would have been nice if the press had been able to ask her some questions the day after the Conventions ended.

Jody, it would have been nice if the press had the testicular fortitude to do their job and ask Comrade Obama some tough questions at any point in time. Let’s not forget also that Obama has promissed to sit down and talk with despotic thugs, but has ZERO interest in talking to the American people in townhall meetings. He told you to screw yourself and you lap it up even more.

At least with FactCheck, we can put to rest her statements of “I was always against the Bridge-To-NoWhere” business as, well, a lie.

Some of us know that Comrade Obama’s a lying piece of crap, but the media isn’t interested and won’t allow any real analysis of him. The wagons are circled and the Main Stream Glavlit are serving as the emperor’s clothes.

Gene – 12th Amendment (Mitch is correct).

But Mitchell, switch NH from Barack to McCain. You get a 269/269 tie.
Question what happens? Who wins?

Thanks for the question, Gene. Now let me explain how it works for you. In the case of one candidate does not receive 271 electorial votes, the election is decided by the House of Representatives. Each state has one one vote. I assume Obama would win because Democrats have the overall advantage, so I assume they have the advantage for number of state majorities as well.

#9: Kevin – anyone speaking to dozens of crowds day after day is going to make some gaffes… I’m lucky not to fumble my words every time I open my mouth – I’d be a blizzard of gaffes on the stump. Omaba’s reference to 57 states or Joe’s invitation to a guy in a wheelchair to stand mean very little.

They’re just not the best choice in this election

The Bush story is wrong: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/bushwave.asp

If she did, that would not have been accurate. The fact remains, she killed the bridge, so what she was accurate in what she said in her convention speech. Indeed, she had opposed it since her election as governor.
