How about Governor Palin

Kyra, just because you are from AK, does not mean you have your facts straight. The money from congress was never meant to pay for the entire bridge. The state was always going to kick in another $175 million. Palin was an absolute supporter of this bridge, and was more than willing to take the federal money to build it. It wasn’t until some in congress tried to divert that money to more needed project, like Katrina rebuilding, that it became a symbol of out of control pork barrel spending. Only then did Palin actually oppose it, because by then the federal money wasn’t there, and the state couldn’t afford to put up the rest. You can have your own opinion, but you cant have your own facts.

“look how many people McCain has gained JUST BY PICKING A WOMAN”

And you don’t think this is sexist? Hillary was a consideration for VP because of her qualifications, not because she is a woman. As you just said, McCain picked her solely because she is a woman. THAT is sexist.

“And as far as the Police Officer she fired, yes it was her ex brother in law, but thats not why he was fired, for one, he went to work numerous times under the influence and very wasted, and the MAIN reason was that he tasered his 8 yr old son on purpous!!”

So you expect us to believe that the govenor got involved in wanting a drunken state trooper fired, a trooper who just happened to be her sister’s ex-husband and was locked in a custody battle with her. None of that had anything to do with Palin wanting him fired? Palin said this just last month:

“pressure could have been perceived to exist, although I have only now become aware of it.”

Why would it even have ever come up to ever be perceived that way. Would palin have gotten invloved in a troopers misconduct if it had not been her ex-brother in law?

“And, Xoxo11, it wasn’t Palin who didn’t know the Bush doctrine, it was CHARLIE.”

Uhh… Ethmer, Did you see the interview? Gibson is the one who had to explain it to Palin. He even told her when Bush initially said it. Are you really trying to say she knew what Gibson was talking about?
