Palin continues 'Bridge to Nowhere' claim

Posted: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 11:42 AM by Domenico Montanaro

“I told Congress thanks but no thanks for that ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ up in Alaska. If a state wanted a bridge, we were gonna build it ourselves.”

But Palin has come under from Democrats and non-partisan fact-checkers for saying she opposed federal funding for a bridge to a sparsely populated Alaskan town, when she originally supported the bridge as a gubernatorial candidate. She kept the line in her stump speech Tuesday, as part of her description of tax-and-earmark reform as governor.

“On the same day that dozens of news organizations have exposed Gov. Palin’s phony Bridge to Nowhere claim as a ‘naked lie,’ she and John McCain continue to repeat the claim in their stump speeches,” Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor said. “Maybe tomorrow she’ll tell us she sold it on eBay.”

2. That's what we need to see more of, the media

actually making an effort to report the truth.

7. Wonder if Charlie Gibson will ask her why she keeps lying about it?

:rofl: Yeah, right.

[redqueen]

3. I bet she just keeps on lying. She knows her base doesn't care about the truth,

only truthiness.

[lapfog_1]

4. She has her script to read.

Really, this is just another Beauty Pageant to her. She has her answer to the question... "Whirled Peas" and she is sticking to it. What more do you want????

5. We need nasty commercials from Obama accusing Palin of being shameless and

you'll see Joke Scumborough, Pat Buchanazi, and Wolfie playing those commercials for free. We need to make some waves, and I see that Obama called Palin shameless today :wow:

8. we might want to STFU on this, both our guys voted for the bridge

and mcbush voted against it. we're not running against caribou barbie either, lets focus on our real opponent.

[azmouse]

9. The Dems aren't telling lie after lie about the bridge.

They need to continue going after her on this until the truth is so obvious she has to shut up.

[enfield collector]

11. yeah,I know that, but both our guys voted to fund the bridge, twice. she didn't

vote to fund it, she has a get out clause and the RW media will smear shit all over us.

[Lex]

12. Stop being scared to stand up to LIES.

That's going to get us exactly nowhere.

[azmouse]

13. She didn't return the money. She spent it on a road to nowhere.

We have to combat the lies.

[Lex]
