So, it isn't that she's opposed to earmarks it is just that she was opposed to that particular earmark?

(And yes, I seem to be really off the wagon today.)

Except for the time she spent in favor of that particular earmark.

She did indeed.

Directly from her speech at the convention -

Quote:

I told the Congress, "Thanks, but no thanks," on that Bridge to Nowhere.
Now, I do think she was making the point that she was against earmarks, so the very next line of her speech is problematic for me -

Quote:

If our state wanted to build a bridge, we were going to build it ourselves.
The first quoted line? Clearly saying they didn't need that bridge. Second quoted line? Certainly implying that she wasn't going to take the money.

She said that she said it, but she didn't say it when she says she claims to have said it. See what I'm saying?

Yes. Got it.

Funny except:

1) She doesn't support abstinence only education. She's on record as saying teaching students about condoms and other forms of birth control is ok provided abstinence is emphasized more.

2) Her daughter went to a school that did teach sex ed not abstinence.

But don't let the facts get in the way of a good joke;)

And, as we can see, her daughter didn't pay attention at school.
:D

Do you have a link for that? This is the widely-cited quote that shows that she is not a fan of teaching condoms in class.

By the way, I was being ocmpletely thick headed earlier. I don't know why I couldn't see what you were saying earlier than I did.
