Palin's 1st Solo: Less Than 20 Minutes, With Teleprompter, Lies About Bridge.
http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/president/28349534.html?elr=KArks7PYDiaK7DUqEiaDUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUU

CARSON CITY, Nev. - Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin made her first solo campaign appearance outside her home state Saturday, sticking largely to a speech that has boosted her popularity among Republican faithful but drawn criticism for having misstatements.

The Alaska governor repeated her claim to have killed the now-famous "Bridge to Nowhere," which her running mate, Arizona Sen. John McCain, has derided as wasteful pork. Palin first approved of the project. She turned against it only after it proved to be a political embarrassment.

"We're going to take our case for reform, that needed reform in D.C., to voters of every background, every party, no party," she said. "We're going to shake things up."

Palin spoke less than 20 minutes, using a teleprompter, at the late Saturday event in a roller hockey rink.

4. She's not a witch.
She may be a lying sack of shit, a fundy wacko neo-nazi rapture-ready idiot bigot, but she's not a witch. Not even close.

8. Let's be clear on this...
She never opposed it. Ever.

The Bridge to Nowhere was an issue before Palin ever became governor, so she was never in a position to say "Thanks, but no thanks" to anybody. It became an issue during 2005, at a time when Palin was a private citizen (not even the Mayor of East Bumblefuck, AK)

The funding was stripped from the appropriations bill on November 16, 2006. Palin did not become governor until December 6, 2006.

What I'd like to see a report ask is, "To whom did you say, Thanks but no thanks?"

Her story is complete and unadulterated bullshit.

17. I might be inclined to believe the Palin/Mccain ticket if they were to fire every single one of the
lobbyists currently employed with the Repuke campaign. Maybe even have an iota or two of respect for them but actions speak louder than words. A campaign up to it's eyeballs in lobbyists will never EVER put Country/America First.

F you repukes!!

20.  Garrison Keillor said it best:
The bums have tiptoed out the back door
and circled around to the front and
started yelling: “Throw the bums out!”


Lipstick for Miss Porky.

22. I can almost guarantee she isn't
reading the newspapers. Probably even keeping her from seeing any headlines.

That shouldn't bee hard though, she doesn't seem like the curious type that goes digging for information.
