Palin admits she lied about the bridge to nowhere.

[tiemedown]

i cannot wait until she vanishes, then real women can run and america wont be the laughing stock of the political world anymore ... i mean bush and palin just a few years away from one another...how depressing is that?

[dprague]

This woman is an International joke...hahahahahahha Stupid Americas rear theirs heads again...hahahahaa

[danielcalkins]

There were two mistakes Sarah Palin made on this issue. 1). She didn't tell the truth about supporting this issue before she was against using federal earmarks for the project. She could have easily said she is for a bridge in Ketchikan that leads to somewhere important (an international airport), but not for solely using federal monies. 2) She betrayed the majority of her home state by refering to a rural community as "nowhere". She might as well call Alaska "nowhere".

[daderone]

I'm a little concerned about this whole earmark talk to begin with. Earmarks actually go to support a lot of things I would certainly consider worthwhile. Is this like one of those cache 22's where hard-line extreme right wing conservatives call extreme right wingers like Bush, McCain, Palin liberal B/c Bush wants 2 destroy public schools so he says he supports it,defunds it, runs it into the ground? like our nation kinda huh? Our military? Our national gaurd? Economy? $3 trillion 2 China!

[someweirdgayguy]

If a politician would say something like "Yeah I fucked up, sorry about that." I think that alone would be the key factor in getting them elected.

Who's fooled by this beating around the bush shit? Just be fucking honest for once in your goddamn life you worthless cunt.

[daderone]

whoa watch the McCain language alright. Lets be civil.

I think you mean like say Joe Biden admits he was wrong for his vote on Iraq. I agree and feel the same way. I actually trusted Bush to do what we needed to do. What a bad mistake. I'll admit it.

Ask McCain and the economy is going great and we need another war for em to fumble. Well I don't like Iran one bit, in fact I could just assume bomb them, but I wouldn't trust McCain/Palin 2 do nething & would rather not go into needless war

[mggimp]

McCain polls are at 48%. That translates into almost half of the population is dumb enough to vote this Redneck, GWBushlike woman into office. They seem to over look the fact that McCain has cancer 4x, Melanoma is not curable.(I know my sis just died 8/15/08)Just because she has a snatch doesn't make it right that she could lead this country and meet with world leaders!. Palin represents the dumbing down of America!

[heyalchang]

Sigh. Both are right.

Yes, she did kill the bridge in office.

Yes, that meant she changed her mind.

Yes, Congress removed the earmark- but still sent Alaska the money.

Yes, she killed the bridge and kept the money.

Yes, Alaska's earmarks are highest percapita

Yes, she reduces them each year.

re: "$/per-capita" Alaska is vast-- large as 1/5 of the lower 48 states, 65% federal land and requires dramatically more infrastructure than say, San Francisco, 7x7 mile city w/the same "# of residents".

[daderone]

lol i loved the last one "she reduces them each year" what year was that?

I mean say the guy before you is the absolute most corrupt person in the world, and you're the second. I'm just sayin pissed on snow ain't white and u shouldn't drink it no matter what anybody says. That there is some pissed up snow. I ain't drinkin it.

[daderone]

Palin has the mark of Cain and that t-shirt says 666 on it. Coincidence?

[MonsterSound]

Shirt reads "NOWHERE ALASKA 99901"

There are enough real Palin/McCain lies and no need to invent them.

[daderone]

999 666 i think you're splitting hairs and I'm not inventing anything everything i said was true. There are plenty of lies they've told you're absolutely right. This isn't a lie they're telling. I don't believe in the devil, but if i did that would scare me. Forgive me for commenting so that others may consider if she's the devil. If I believed in one she might fit the bill. Thats for someone else to say.

[ironchopsticks]

A smart person wouldn't have given the biggest speech of her life so fraught with lies, knowing the media would fact-check every single detail.

[OhioDemocrat]

Failin Palin. Failing to tell the truth yet again!

[stuartallenmills]

She lies and doesn't blink (think things through) and doesn't know much about anything.

Are these the new Republican ideals?

[Neoconhater]

Palin is an expert!!.........an expert liar!

[thetinyman]

Why didn't you return the money little miss pork barrel queen?

[Carolab]

One more point: Alaska ranks #1 in earmarks per capita.

[Carolab]

What is also quite interesting and which Charlie failed to mention, is that this was a pet project of now-disgraced indicted Alaska senator Ted Stevens, and Palin directed Steven's 527 organization for re-election.

[Carolab]

"This lady is not qualified to run a local PTA much less be VP under an extremely old man."

Your comment reminds me: did you hear that the Alaska PTA has NO record of Sarah Palin ever SERVING on the PTA? They say only that she paid dues for three years. So THAT was a lie too, when she spoke of her executive experience as a PTA mom.

[Carolab]

She didn't think the bridge was a wasteful expense in 2006--but when it became unpopular, AND when she found out Alaska would have to pay for it, she dropped support for it but took the money, which she used to build a "road to nowhere"--a gravel road. That road didn't cost $223M! Why didn't she return the money? Why did she support the bridge as a valid "infrastructure project" in the first place, yet wouldn't pay for the rest of it with Alaska's own budget money?

[medeak]

puke blech go away and shoot wolves from airplanes

[cookseyt]

This lady is not qualified to run a local PTA much less be VP under an extremely old man.

That is as they say "one heartbeat away from the Presidency".

Palin - FAIL.

[estebanx]

A serial liar, just like her running mate.

[ProfMTH]

Exactly.
