Sarah Palin lies again on Bridge to Nowhere, earmarks

Sarah Palin famously said in her Republican convention speech that she told Congress "thanks, but no thanks" for the Bridge to Nowhere. Now, this has been discredited in just about every media outlet in the country. During the Charlie Gibson interview, she didn't even deny that she in fact lobbied for the bridge when she was running for governor.

This, of course, has not stopped her from making the same claim dozens of times since it's been discredited. But what's even more interesting is that she apparently kept as much of the money as the federal government sent her. What happened to thanks, but no thanks?

Though the entire financing for the bridge did not pan out, the US government has set aside $73 million for the project. So far, a lot of money has been wasted building access roads to bridges that don't exist and never will. Of course, people get rich off these projects, so they don't give a damn where they lead as long as the money leads right back into their pockets.

So, I'd like to start a simple campaign called "Give the Money Back." If Sarah Palin is going to claim how much she dislikes earmarks -- despite the fact that she asked for over $250 million in earmarks this year for Alaska and asked for more earmarks per capita for Wasilla than any other city in the country -- let her prove it. Why doesn't she give back the $73 million set aside for this useless project?

Remember that's our money. Republicans love to talk about how it's the taxpayer's money and they know how to spend it better than the government. In this case, I agree. I certainly know how to spend it better than the Alaskan government. So, give it back.

Pass this message on. Demand that Sarah Palin give back our money. That $73 million is now sitting in the bank account to nowhere. It's time that it be returned to its rightful owners -- us!

i know you posted this comment ten months ago, but you point out that though sarah palin cut money that was designated to the special olympic children she still cares because she increased funding by 200 % id have to say that this act doesnt really mean she cares ill use a cliche example to prove it mike vick killed dogs right? then he donates to various animal shelters and groups but really hes doing that for public image, not because he feels sorry for the dead dogs same can be said bout palin

GO MCAIN 08 U HAVE MA VOTE SHIT ON OBAMA

The REPUBLICANS have stalled, filibustered & blocked 190 Good & Sound DEMOCRAT BILLS in Congress, meant to help the American People.

The DEMOCRATS have only a SINGLE (1) MAJORITY VOTE in the Senate. The REPUBLICANS have consistently refused to provide the DEMOCRATS with the 9 additional votes needed to overturn the numerous Bush's vetoes.

The REPUBLICANS are the reason why Congress has such a low rating.

VOTE TO GIVE THE DEMOCRATS THE NEEDED FILIBUSTER-PROOF "60 SEATS" IN THE SENATE.

Bush allowed ENRON & OIL COMMODITIES SPECULATORS to deregulate in 2001.

(ENRON LOOPHOLE)

ENRON went Bankrupt after STEALING BILLION$ from the AMERICAN CONSUMERS.

OIL COMMODITIES SPECULATORS forced the price of gas at the pump to be artificially inflated--OVERCHARGING BILLION$ to the AMERICAN CONSUMERS.

DEMOCRATS proposed the PUMP ACT bill & the PRICE GAUGING PREVENTION bill to reduce the price & help the AMERICAN CONSUMERS.

THEY WERE BLOCKED BY BUSH VETO & THE REPUBLICAN PARTY !!

Interesting isn't it that her TRUE NATURE is clearly revealed by her NAME and "self- proclaimed" ATTRIBUTE.

More Revealing Anagrams:
