Pisshaw! Now you are just in the realm of total fantasy.


Point well made and I guess if the McCain camp is going to make "Thanks but no thanks" a rally cry then the facts you have presented are a good counter to it.

Hmmmm... going through Snopes, there is an "iffy" entry for Sarah Palin where she is purported to have said, "So Sambo beat that b!tch" when Obama clinched the nomination.

I must admit I didn't run into many Black people on my trip to Alaska but one would have to wonder if she is that racist/sexist.

Isn't that a governor's job, to protect the best interests of their state? By, for example, grabbing as much federal funding as they can for their state?

I say keep the half truths and rumors coming. I have no doubt that I could find or even make up hundreds of unsubstantiated things I heard that Obama has said. Or even true things. Talking about "white mans' greed" in the audacity of hope.

Honestly, to even post that is laughable.

I read on a blog that someone heard Obama say that he goes out at night and kills puppies and eats their livers in a Satanic ritual. Wow.....that's just aweful.

That could be one definition. However, to do so and then claim you fought against it is generally called "lying".

I think she said "Thanks but no thanks for that bridge to nowhere". She didn't say "I sent the money back because there was nothing valuable we could do with it". I think there is a distinction. She was against the wasteful spending aspect, bit using the federal funds to do necessary things to improve her state.

I think there is a distinction between opposing a project that becomes overwhelmingly unpopular, and then deciding on your own what to do with the money that was ear-marked for said pork barrel project. The money came from the feds--was it really kosher for her to be taking money that was approved for one project BY SOMEONE ELSE, and then taking that money and deciding on your own to spend it on something else?

Come on scaeagles, she is trying to campaign as a reformer, ergo spendthrift. Saying no to bloat. Cutting taxes. Not diverting tax money for your OWN pet projects.

I'm not saying governors can't take money earmarked for one thing to use on other projects. Well, I don't know if that's illegal... but my point is that it's something she is heavily campaigning on and I find it pretty hypocritical.

OK folks you are hearing this from me... whatever happens if it's Hillary vs. Palin in 2012 I will vote for Hillary (good lord I didn't think I'd ever say that).

I wouldn't expect anything else than you voting for Hillary, particularly if hypocrisy is such a turnoff.

Hillary vs. Palin? Scary thought indeed.

Two floaters in the bowl, which do you pick?

She said neither of those.
