Why is Palin building a road to connect to the Bridge to Nowhere she claims she opposes?

I'd heard about the "Road to Nowhere" but hadn't made the connection. Palin, who supported the Bridge to Nowhere just two years ago, is still building a road that is meant to connect to the bridge - the bridge she now claims is unnecessary pork.

The state, however, never gave back any of the money that was originally earmarked for the Gravina Island bridge, said Weinstein and Elerding.

In fact, the Palin administration has spent "tens of millions of dollars" in federal funds to start building a road on Gravina Island that is supposed to link up to the yet-to-be-built bridge, Weinstein said.

"She said 'thanks but no thanks,' but they kept the money," said Elerding about her applause line.

Oh yeah, and Palin kept every dime of the federal money that was appropriated for the Bridge to Nowhere. Every single freaking dime. So she's not only for pork, she's for 100% welfare hand-outs, no strings attached. At least pork is earmarked for specific wasteful projects. Palin prefers when you just hand her your federal tax dollars, in wheelbarrows, and let her decide how to waste it.
