Roll call Votes on the resolution containing the Bridge to nowhere funds:

Roll call Votes on the proposed amendment to take the Bridge money and use it for the victims of Katrina:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s2005-262


Still the fact goes unaddressed: OBAMA and BIDEN voted to send the money to Alaska to build the bridge in the first place. Even when they could've sent it to rebuild Louisiana, the dynamic duo still voted it to go to Alaska. Could it be because Obama and Biden are pork-barrel buffoons?? Hmmmm?

At the moment the Obama campaign is playing a dangerous game of gotcha, since the record shows both Obama and Biden to be solidly behind the most visible symbol of wasteful spending in Washington.

So the facts are plain. When it mattered, Gov. Palin stood up to Sen. Stevens and dealt the Bridge to Nowhere its death blow. This is something the U.S. Congress and senators Obama and Biden failed to do on multiple occasions.

And while it’s true that John McCain, unlike his running mate, has always opposed pork-barrel earmarks, Sarah Palin, unlike Obama and Biden, did the right thing when it counted most and stopped an egregious example of earmark abuse. And now, of course, Palin has joined McCain in calling for an end to earmarks.

Isn’t it better to come around to the right position than to keep on being wrong? http://article.nationalreview.com/print/?q=Y2FiMjBlNWE0ZTJhNDBjZWExYzA2M2M5MWZkYmFlN2I=


How are those 30 lawyers doing in Alaska, anyway? :rofl3:


State Abandons Ketchikan 'bridge to nowhere' Published: September 21, 2007

JUNEAU -- The state of Alaska on Friday officially abandoned the controversial "bridge to nowhere" project in Ketchikan that became a symbol of federal pork-barrel spending.

The $398 million bridge would have connected Ketchikan to its airport on a nearby island.

"Ketchikan desires a better way to reach the airport, but the $398 million bridge is not the answer," Gov. Sarah Palin said in a prepared statement.

She directed the state transportation department to find the most "fiscally responsible" alternative for access to the airport. http://dwb.adn.com/news/alaska/story/9320482p-9235189c.html


Gravina Access Project Redirected

September 21, 2007, Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today directed the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities to look for the most fiscally responsible alternative for access to the Ketchikan airport and Gravina Island instead of proceeding any further with the proposed $398 million bridge. http://web.archive.org/web/20071214143302/http://www.gov.state.ak.us/archive.php?id=623&type=1
 
Bush put a bunch of unqualified people in high ranking positions too. What's your point? Are you saying you approve of this practice?

What are you going on about? More double standards/hypocrisy.

Plain appointed a bunch of her high school buddies. So your defense is "hey look over there"? :laugh:[/QUOTE]

Just proving you wrong again. Sorry to break it to you. Actually you are the one who is deflecting. Once again, just making up your own reality. You choose to ignore your side doing the same thing and then say the guy who is not on your side is bad because they are doing the same thing you likely defended your guy for doing.

You're getting pretty desperate. You're grasping for anything now, huh?
 
Speaking of worthless ideologue, we're still waiting for substance from your answers. Every criticism you've had seems personal, not merit based. C'mon, show us the money.

that's really funny you say that gonz, because her base of support is essentially based on personality. again, caribou barbie. hey' let's post her high school photo again! weeee!

oh, yeah, and the fact that she can parrot the fringe right bucket o' beliefs.

and "the money" is already there if you were paying attention:

she's gone along with misleading portrayals of her role as heroic earmark killer and her visits to "iraq" (kuwait) and ireland (refueling stop).

she's refusing to cooperate with an investigation into "troopergate." maybe she didn't do anyhting. but what she trying to hide?

there are numerous rumblings about cronyism and nepotism within her alaska regime. maybe they're true. maybe not. but given the volume of such stories, are we confident there's nothing there? are we confident that there's nothing there in light of all the other various accusations that point to some level of dishonesty? the preponderance of evidence suggests there is something there, despite whatever internet shitnews postings peel can scrounge up to defend his hooters waitress vp candidate with.

(and again, of course there's nothing to obama's relationship with rev. wright either, right? all these candidates are just victims of vicious smear campaigns...)

she has ZERO foreign policy experience AND she does not strike as intelligent enough to compensate for any lack of experience through appropriate use of experts/advisors.

she's involved in a super whack-o church. sorry, don't want her to be speaking tongues while there's a crisis.

her husband has ties to a wacko secessionist movement.

oh, yeah, and here's the real objection: she can't answer any real questions. she just defaults back to the fringe_right bullshit bucket. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE - at least that i can find - THAT THERE IS ANYTHING GOING ON BEHIND THOSE DOE EYES. nothing, nada, shit.

dishonest, dumb cheerleader a heartbeat away from the presidency.
 
Plain is the one making up shit.

"By the time Palin pulled the plug on the Gravina bridge project in September 2007, much of the federal funding for the bridge had already been diverted to other transportation projects. The bridge would cost $398-million, Palin said then, and Alaska was $329-million short."

http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/675/

She did not kill the bridge. She did not tell Congress "thanks, but no thanks". Why do you defend her repeated lies?

Sorry to break it to you but that is wrong. The appropriation was amended and the money spent in accordance with the wishes of the state.

http://councilfor.cagw.org/site/News2?abbr=CCAGW_&page=NewsArticle&id=11594

“Media reports that Congress killed the Bridge to Nowhere are not accurate,” said Schatz. “The 2006 transportation appropriations bill allowed Alaska to decide whether or not to move forward. Governor Murkowski said yes; Governor Palin said no. Any discussion about the project should begin with facts.”

Once again, just making up your own reality. Your own link is entitled "She killed it, but it was nearly dead".

From your link:

The project also raised bitter debate in Congress, and several attempts were made to yank funding for the project. (Biden and Obama voted against pulling that funding - j) In the fall of 2005, Congress removed the language specifically directing the money to the bridge, but it kept the money in place and left it up to Alaska to decide which transportation projects the state would like to spend it on. (Just exactly what I have been saying and posting in BIG RED LETTERS which you choose to ignore. - j)

By the time Palin pulled the plug on the Gravina bridge project in September 2007, much of the federal funding for the bridge had already been diverted to other transportation projects. (Which is exactly what the appropriation said that THE STATE could do with the money. - j)

You're grasping for anything now huh? You're getting pretty desperate.
 
You're the single biggest liar and troll here Jimbo. Don't start tryiing to deflect onto others.

What's your point?

Is he lying daily about that like Palin Jiimbo> Or are you just trying to change the subject?

Sorry to break it to you but Obama lies on every subject he touches on.
 
It was sarcasm dumbass. Pointing out that Gonz had chery picked a bunch of shit.

That's what you do. You cherrypick what sounds good and ignore things from the same story when taken in context.

You can't just keep saying shit you wish was true.

Oh Nooes! That's got to get Jimbo's panties in a bunch. She flip flopped from his side.

Sorry to break it to you. Not a flip-flop at all. You need to learn the difference between "can" and "are". I guess you still haven't gotten that dictionary.

Just proving you wrong again. You're grasping for anything now huh? Misdirected quotes posted out of context? Tsk,tsk. You're getting pretty desperate.
 
What's your point?

Exactly what was typed.

Sorry to break it to you but Obama lies on every subject he touches on.

Can't hold a candle to the McCain/Palin lying barrage.

CNN demolishes McCain campaigns lies. Oh noes!

That's what you do. You cherrypick what sounds good and ignore things from the same story when taken in context.

No, Gonz did that.

You can't just keep saying shit you wish was true.

I've been leaving that to you for quite awhile.

It was a flip flop Jimbo. Must suck for you.

Just proving you wrong again. You're grasping for anything now huh? Misdirected quotes posted out of context? Tsk,tsk. You're getting pretty desperate.

Sorry Jimbo, you haven't proven anything wrong yet. No need to grasp when when Palin just gives us scandals daily. Must suck for you.
 
Once again, just making up your own reality. Your own link is entitled "She killed it, but it was nearly dead".

thanks for posting that, jim.

it's really heroic to kill something that is nearly dead anyway. and it's really honest to portray yourself as the valiant hunter when you've done nothing more than scraped roadkill off the pavement.
 
so, jim, she kept the money, right?

No, and hell no. She didn't "keep" anything. If she had, she would be in prison for embezzlement.

The STATE kept the money; and according to your next post HERE you gloatingly acknowledge that most of the money was nearly all spent without any intervention on her part whatsoever.

Nice try, though. Keep up the good work.

Fine. Then let's put it this way instead and maybe, just maybe, it will appease your visceral hatred of all things Pailn.

SHE PUT IT OUT OF ITS MISERY
 
Now that we have beaten this dead horse to death still one more time; anyone wanna try to tackle Tasergate now?
