I guess he doesn't watch much T.V. being a radio guy and all.
After reading his (longwinded dissertation comes to mind), I could not help myself. If I get banned well so be it. The truth hurts sometimes. I would like to ask him....And when is she going to return the money?
According to CBS news- Reality Check-
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4409028n
She killed a project that was already killed by congress?
Saved me money but kept it! I said kept it!
Spent it on other unfunded transportation projects in her state.
$ 233 million $$$$$$$
Sounds like she will fit in perfectly.
I hope she doesn't save me any more.
I digress, back on topic.
Is this not fraud of some sort, can a govenor do that? Like cashing a canceled check and spending it before anyone knows it is gone then telling you "no thanks, we don't need it." Is this piece in any way non-factual? If it is please enlighten me.

(CBS) When John McCain introduced Gov. Sarah Palin, she not only was someone who shared his distaste for Congressional earmarks, all those direct, often hidden federal grants of tax dollars for local projects. She went on to claim she'd killed off one of the worst earmarks ever, a $233 million bridge from Ketchikan, Alaska, to Gravina Island.
"I told Congress, 'thanks, but no thanks,' on that bridge-to-nowhere," Palin said.
'No thanks' to that bridge? Here are the facts, as reported by CBS News correspondent Wyatt Andrews. Congress killed off the earmark well before Gov. Palin formally abandoned it. And while the bridge is in fact a dead project, the state still kept the money — all $233 million in federal funds — for other transportation needs.
The record also shows that two years ago, Palin supported the bridge.
Here is the whole article if you care to check it out.

I know you said everyone knows my feelings on Ms. Palin by now(Mr.Mod.), and enuff is enuff basically, well this has nothing to do with whether I like her or not. New revelations every day.
Even if it isn't fraud or theft, she is still defrauding the american public with her claims. People in her town are scared to death of her and the possible retaliations and/or ramifications.
Is this overkill? Maybe, but this news is out there and we all need to hear it.
See what her friend and neighbor (a very brave soul by the sound of things) has to say about her.

I have tried to move on but you MUST realize how important this is.
And we will get no new revelations about any of the other candidates. She burst onto the national spotlight only days ago and things just keep coming out about Ms.Sarah Baracuda. If this is my last post, it's been swell knowing you guys this short time. Grant me one small request and check out Mudflats article mentioned above and enlighten me if this all sounds like to much left wing scutiny for possibly your next V.P. and/or President.
Get involved and dig. Not just her but all candidates.
P.S. Did I mention Wasilla's proximity to the Haarp project.
This lady is starting to scare me alot! Maybe more so if she loses.
