Where the xyz do they think he comes from if not from the tax payer
The problem is, the bridge story has legs and it still hasn’t really been addressed adequately by either the McCain camp or Palin. I don’t think she can wait until the ABC interview tomorrow night to talk about it.
Wyatt Andrews, news commentator for CBS news radio, said this morning in his news broadcast that Palin DID in fact, keep the entire 236 million dollars, essentially calling her a liar to her face...it was my understanding that those earmarked funds were CANCELED, and she only kept the original transportation dollars allocated her state, which every state gets. We need a sourced fact-check on this. A similar article in the WSJ yesterday said “she kept the money” and implied she lied about supporting the bridge.
The MSM and the lefty blogosphere are obsessed now with the idea she must have lied about the bridge, and they’ve lined up in lockstep to try to re-create the “I was for the 87 billion dollars before I was against it” Kerry gaffe that dogged him all through the 2004 election.
The McCain/Palin camp needs to forcefully, aggressively respond to this with an explanation, or I fear it will dog Sarah throughout this election.
My point exactly. This epitomizes the stupidity on the left. They actually believe the government somehow has 2 sources from which to spend, our tax dollars and “their own” money.
Of course they DO control the printing presses....
Wow! $90! I didn't realize Biden was so incredibly effective at bringing home the bacon to his state.
