After a year of supporting the proposed bridge, near Ketchikan, Gov. Palin pulled state funds from the project, which killed the bridge for good, but she never said "no thanks" to the Federal funds promised by Congress -- $233 million.

In fact, here's the list of how Palin is spending those federal tax dollars - on other highway projects around Alaska. As a candidate for governor, she defended every dollar for roads and bridges the state could wrangle from Washington, according to the Congressional Record and the Alaska Department of Transportation.

...............................

By repeating the claim she said no thanks to the bridge, the implication is that she confronted a spendthrift Congress recklessly wasting money.

The record shows she wanted that bridge until the end and kept the money.

It ran in Australia.

7. Palin IS a mean individual

10. Look at convention tape when she and Cindy are on stage together.

Cindy runs from her. She probably has body odor. Most dogs do you know.

2. Gosh it's just not McCain/Palins day.

6. That's just remarkable. She's a fucking liar. A fucking big liar.

8. CBS has been debunking stuff daily.

On the evening news they will give a quote, and then say, "but the reality is that..." and immediately neutralize the lie. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

That's the way I like to see a media outlet behave! All it takes is a little spine. Bravo CBS.

11. Palin's reponse ?

[FatDave]

12. Bet she says it again tomorrow though.

These people have no shame, and I don't think their voters watch the news.

[Kool Kitty]

13. They don't watch the news-they watch FOX.

[AZBlue]

14. Please contact CBS and thank them for being honest about this!

It's a sad thing that we have to use positive reinforcement like this on the media, but if we want to win, we do.

[FrenchieCat]

15. She's a great big liar!

[avaistheone1]

18. Yup, keep hammering them on their lies

and start dismantling his lame stump speech/acceptance.

It sucks and is nothing but distortions. Rip it apart and call them for being a ship of fulls propelled by hot air.
