Alaskans point out several inaccuracies in Palin’s Convention Speech

[pathansen]

GASLINE:
"I know some people interpreted what she said to say that we're going to have a gasline very soon," Gara said. "I don't know if she meant to say that, but a gasline is coming, we hope in 2018 or 2020. And we have a lot of major hurdles, a lot of work ahead of us."

Shepro said, "Certainly taking credit for a gasline that isn't created is probably an embellishment."

CORRUPTION:
But Shepro said, even more egregious than the gasline comment "is that she's taken credit for cleaning up corruption in Alaskan government."

Irksome to local lawmakers is that she takes credit for what was a team effort.

"Well, I've spent my last six years in this Legislature trying to clean it up. And she has, at times, worked with us on that, and I appreciate that," Gara said. "For me to take credit, or for her to take credit for something we've all done together, I think is a bit of a stretch."

Shepro was more blunt in his criticism: "Everything that has taken place was done by the feds."

BRIDGE TO NOWHERE:
But what was, perhaps, most offensive to some Alaskans is when she said, "I told the Congress, 'Thanks, but no thanks' for that Bridge to Nowhere."

"The bridge wasn't built, but that's because the feds took the bridge out, Congress took the bridge, but left the money. And the money was used for other things," he said.

The $233 million was used for state transportation. Also, Congress killed off the earmark before Palin even had the chance to say, "No thanks."

1. I'd love to see an Ad that has Palin talking about her Accomplishments....

..and then as she make these statements (that are false), a Large stamp comes on the screen that says LIAR!

[pathansen]

3. Hopefully her lies will be disclosed during the debates

This must be part of the reason she won't speak with the press.

2. PALIAR

The stupid Republican sheeple eat up her lies. They would've followed Hitler with just as much zeal.

4. They took only a very short time to vet her

only a day or 2, I heard so wonder how many other lies will come out.
