Re: Palin Speech

Nice try Booger - she never said she was for the bridge. She said she was insulted by the term "bridge to nowhere". Did you even bother to read the links you provided?
That's the point actually. She defended the proposal as one that would be good for Alaska. Perhaps she did so for altruistic reasons, maybe she felt (and rightly so) that it would lead to job creation in her state. The point is, either way, she was in favor of the proposal until she became Governor and after Ted Stevens threw his hissyfit on the floor of the senate when his pork wouldn't get passed. She, in fact, did NOT say "thanks, but no thanks" as she implied in her speech. Now you may not care that she's at worst, lying and at best, stretching the truth, but there's no question she's not being upfront about it.

It would be very easy for Obama et al to put out an ad with her current statement on Alaska and her previous one. No sexism, no personal attacks. Just Palin vs. Palin.

This is somebody been in Congress for 26 years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign. And now he tells us that he’s the one who’s gonna take on the old boys' network,” he said. “In the McCain campaign that’s called a staff meeting!- Obama, 9/17/2008
