Palin’s Pork

9/2/08, 12:39 pm EST

The Palin pick was intended to shore up John McCain’s support among religious conservatives — the megachurch moms — while underscoring his image as a fiscal reformer.

On count two, her cred is quickly unraveling. Not only was she not in fact an opponent of the bridge to nowhere as claimed, but she brought home big-time bacon to her tiny town during her bumpy mayoral tenure:

WaPo:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin employed a lobbying firm to secure almost $27 million in federal earmarks for a town of 6,700 residents while she was its mayor.

That’s north of $4,000 in pork per person.

If you vote for a woman just because she’s a woman, you’re not a feminist – you’re a sexist. Period.

Doesnt matter though, Palin may not even make it to November on the ticket. She’s proving to be a nightmare against McCains narrative and image.

Mama gives the town porkbarrel.

Daughter seems to like getting porked, too.

True Repubs. True Americans. LOL!!

Hey, EST:
Why is it necessary to call people who don’t agree with your choice “Obamabots?” Some of his supporters may be cheerleaders but most are just informed citizens. And secondly, why the reference to “feelings?” It seems like your candidate(s) is in it as deep as the rest. This isn’t a football game, it’s choosing our next leader. OUR next leader. The EVIL empire are the other guys. Why do you treat your fellow Americans with such disdane?

Hey woman for VP.

Does Rush tell you when to use the bathroom too? Don’t forget he’s a drug addict and can’t be trusted.

Vote for me, I have a vagina. Is there any proof that she has even been in D.C.? She is a book burning, anti-sex education, polar bear killing, Nazi. She doesn’t believe in birth control at all, for herself or her daughter or anyone else.
