Thread: Palin's Choice for VP

What's the rest of the story, what were the earmarks for? There's lots of good earmarks all the time. How about all the earmarks that have gone to Florida and your Cuban anti-Castro causes.

Bush does have a veto you know. Back in the day the Republican houses could have passed the line item veto too, they did control both houses as well as the executive for 6 of the last 8 years?

What about Sara Palin and her assertation about killing the "bridge to no where", the bridge was cancelled, but she fails to include the fact that she kept the earmark money and spent it on other projects in Alaska. What about the 28 million dollars in earmarks that she accepted while the mayor of a town of 6000 people. She really sounds like she's against government waste.

How much money has John McCain set aside in earmarks? $10 000 000 for U of Arizona and $14 300 000 to create a buffer zone around Luke AFB to name but two. By the way you are aware that Mc Cain voted against the Bush tax cuts right?

Like Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) said regarding McCains earmarks, “One man’s pork is another man’s alternate white meat,” , “If he asked for it, we put it in.” . Hmmm and he's a republican too.
