Palin Backs Off Bridge To Nowhere Lie, Admits She Supported ‘Infrastructure Being Built In The State’
Palin Backs Off Bridge To Nowhere Lie, Admits She Supported ‘Infrastructure Being Built In The State’
During her interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson tonight, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) seemed to admit that she has repeatedly lied to the American public. Palin has repeatedly claimed that she had said, “Thanks, but no thanks” to Congress for money to build the infamous Bridge to Nowhere.
Tonight, Palin did not object as Gibson explained that “it’s now pretty clearly documented that you supported that bridge before you opposed it.” She defended the earmarking process saying, “It’s not inappropriate for a mayor or for a governor to…plug into the federal budget”:
GIBSON: But it’s now pretty clearly documented. You supported that bridge before you opposed it. You were wearing a t-shirt in the 2006 campaign, showed your support for the bridge to nowhere.
But you turned against it after Congress had basically pulled the plug on it. [...]
PALIN: I was for infrastructure being built in the state. And it’s not inappropriate for a mayor or for a governor to request and to work with their Congress — their congressmen, their congresswomen, to plug into the federal budget along with every other state a share of the federal budget for infrastructure.
What I supported was the link between a community and its airport. And we have found that link now.
Watch it:
As ThinkProgress has documented, Palin was a strong backer of the project and expressed her desire to renew federal funding for the project on several occasions.
According a ThinkProgress count, Palin and the McCain campaign have repeated the Bridge to Nowhere lie 31 times since August 31, when McCain first announced his pick. Palin repeated the lie herself 8 times to both national audiences and at smaller campaign stops.
Will Palin apologize for having misled the public?

Yes, a community of 50 people and its $300 million airport!
September 12th, 2008 at 7:13 pmI have my fingers crossed that Charlie asks her what she did with the earmark money.
Let the American people know, dear Sarah, that you kept it anyway, to spend on your own pet projects, like the road to nowhere that was built despite the bridge to nowhere being nixed.
I can’t say it often enough: Palin kept the ph*ucking $233 million dollars anyway!

September 12th, 2008 at 7:16 pmMcCain blasts Obama for money requested for Illinois, but per resident—Palin requested 25 times as much for residents of Alaska. Under her, Alaska leads nation in earmarks per resident. It received $1.84 from federal government for every dollar paid. California receives $0.78 for every dollar paid.
2005 Alaska paid $5,434 fed taxes per resident and received $13,950 per resident from federal government.

I think these statistics can inly point to one thing …. palin is a socialist .
September 12th, 2008 at 7:21 pmtheir congressmen, their congresswomen, to plug into the federal budget along with every other state a share of the federal budget for infrastructure.
No. Her state wants more than its share. Alaska gets almost two dollars in federal funding for every dollar it sends to the federal government. She also pilfered 27 million dollars in earmarks from the federal government for a town in which 1100 people vote. There is no way in hell Wasilla sent anywhere near that to the federal government.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:23 pm“I was for infrastructure being built in the state. And it’s not inappropriate for a mayor or for a governor to request and to work with their Congress”
… and you lied about it 31 TIMES, that’s 31 TIMES too many. What will you lie about next?
September 12th, 2008 at 7:23 pmI loved her line about “since I am being an open book about myself”. What a crock! Virtually all she has to talk about is herself and her little life in her little bubble in Alaska. She sure can’t talk about foreign policy, education policy, social policy, economic policy or military policy.
She is still the self-absorbed Pentacostal Pork-barrel Princess of Wasilla as far as I am concerned. And it is good that she is being exposed to the American public. The hard right will fall out of love with her and she will quickly wear thin for the rest of us.
She is a mealy-mouthed political opportunist who will be one of several millstones hanging around McNumbNuts’ neck by the time election day rolls around.
I still believe that Obama is going to play this election like a basketball game. He has an excellent team on the court. He has more fans in the stands and home-court advantage. He knows when to bring it and he knows how to bring it. The ancient shooting guard who can’t raise his arms above his shoulders and his smarmy little cheerleader are no match for him.

September 12th, 2008 at 7:27 pmMoney from oil resources distributed equally among the people? That’s downright communistic. Sarah “Hugo Chavez” Palin!
Palin – Caught in a lie, over & over & over. And so many other lies. Palin – you are not fit to be VP. You are ignorant of major issues, lie about your record, hide from the press. You are, politely put, a loser, and it is very sad that many clueless Repubs are willing to vote you into office, even though they dislike you & know you are completely unprepared for this job. That says so much for Repubs- willing to sacrifice country for greed & false politics. It’s truly time for Repubs, their lies, their mindless attacks, their worship of anti-Americans, to stop right now. The whole world is sick of the Republican bullying, lies, & false attacks. Repubs need to stop being childish tantrum-throwers & grow up– maybe they could actually talk about their issues & policies? Don’t hold your breath!!

September 12th, 2008 at 7:34 pmThere’s a line to play over and over as the federal funds comparison is flashed on the screen. The highest? Can’t you get official numbers for budget? Leaves the town millions in debt? Pushes more subsidies? Doesn’t look like very good reform, does it?
See whats happened here folks? Alaska separated from the lower 48 and next to russia has alrready fallen to the communists !
September 12th, 2008 at 7:35 pmWasilla never had a deficit before her. She left it with $27 million (?) deficit—for a town of 7,000.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:36 pmThere you have it. In less than two weeks, she has capitulated from the pure BS she has been repeating over and over again. The lying is not of any import to the GOP base. However, I can’t imagine the independents not evaluating the vetting process done by the public after JM’s camp knee jerk genuflect to James Dobson.

September 12th, 2008 at 7:39 pmI like pointing out that she was pregnant with Track before she married and that Track was sent to high school in Michigan because he was getting in trouble with the law. Possibly made a deal to join the military. It would be besides the point if social conservatives were not constantly telling us how superior they were in parenting.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:40 pmOh no …. not a commie ?……. a tax and spend democrat ?
September 12th, 2008 at 7:42 pmThis is all so confusing , maybe we can all call into to Fuch snoose and ask Bill O really to clarify this for us.
Here’s my beef:
Alaska has no income tax, and no state sales tax (there is some local sales tax, such as the one in Wasilla that Palin raised a half percent to 2.5% to pay for her legacy ice sports center).
BUT, they get nearly twice as much money from the Feds as they pay.
AND, they get huge checks each year for every man, woman and child from the state oil revenues, and those checks went up by $1200 per head this year because of Palin’s windfall profits tax on her state’s Big Oil, which had windfalls because they price gouged the rest of us!
Alaska is beyond a welfare state. It is organized crime.
To be fair, I’m blaming it all on Palin, but she can’t run as the maverick reformer when she porked up the pork, not the other way around.

September 12th, 2008 at 7:51 pmQ: How can you tell someone is lying?
A: When you hear, “I’m John McCain and I approved this message.”
September 12th, 2008 at 7:54 pmAgreed, spencers mom. There is an American value at stake here that republicans never talk about — fairness and equity. Alaska is at least two standard deviations outside the normal range of distribution by any measure of fairness and equity.
This is what makes all of Failin’ Palin’s pronouncements so utterly ridiculous. She hasn’t “reformed” her welfare state. She has just rearranged the deck chairs and elbowed a couple of fellow public officials away from the trough that she still feeds at.
September 12th, 2008 at 7:56 pmMcStain and Palin remind me of a late night infomercial.
They’re selling some new gizmo or diet plan, promising something never seen before, with all kinds of “testimonials” and rave reviews. Most know is a scam, but threre is still a huge segment of the population who will buy into the scam and fork over money that they can’t afford for a product that will certainly fail to deliver as promised.
Unfortunately, our election system doesn’t come with “money back guarantee” and we’ve clearly seen that the current congress won’t investigate the fraud and criminal activity and bring the liars to justice.

September 12th, 2008 at 7:59 pmI think there is way too much attention being payed to the vice presidential candidate.
Let’s concentrate on the one that wants to be in charge.
I don’t vote for vice-president.
I don’t think many people do.
However, I do feel that whoever the presidential candidate chooses does reflect on his judgement and the way he intends to staff and run the White House.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:01 pmWe already went through eight years of choosing people for ideology only, rather than for ability. I don’t think it went very well.

September 12th, 2008 at 8:04 pmHere’s another point to be made on the welfare state thing:
Toddy and Princess Sarah have five kids — 7 x $3,200 = $22,400. Princess Sarah’s salary is $125,000 per year and let’s assume that the average state sales tax is 3 percent . . . that’s $3,750. Between the per diems she has charged for staying in her own home and for questionable travel and expenses of her husband and children, she has skimmed another $60,000 or so.
In other words, she is a “welfare queen” who gets more than $86,000 per year just by virtue of the number of kids she has and where she lives. I doubt that her situation is very “relatable” by the standards of most lower or middle class Americans.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:05 pmHere’s a viable third-party candidate –> http://www.arnoldziffel.com/
I like his platform and he doesn’t wear lipstick.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:10 pmFrom buzzflash.com by Meg White:
She offered a $150 incentive in taxpayer money to hunters who, after they’d killed a wolf, hacked off the front left leg of the animal as proof. The aerial shooters land their planes and helicopters, walk up to the wolves and hack off the front left paw to receive $150 in taxpayer money for each one turned in!
She ignored the 172 scientists who told her point blank that the numbers the state came up with for optimal moose population were unsustainably high, and dismissed their request for an even-handed conservation policy. She refused to provide evidence that the program even worked to raise the moose population. Instead, she approved a $400,000 state-funded advertising campaign that praised the success of the wolf culling program just three weeks before a public referendum vote on the matter.

Why would Palin apologize to the public for misleading them — first, the mainstream media has to inform the public that she did so.
The media have been asking questions of her, yes, but she is defended by the toady of the day, and that’s where it ends.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:20 pm“There you have it, folks, you decide.”
On the other hand, the GOOPers have accomplished three very important goals here:
1. They’ve managed to draw attention away from the fact that Johnny is basically an incoherent, nasty old man most of the time…
2. They’ve turned the 2008 Presidential election into some bizarre combination of pro wrestling and Dancin’ With the Stars…
3. They’ve FINALLY, utterly and completely destroyed any last, lingering traces of dignity, respect and admiration this country had left in the collective eyes of the world… someone should check and see if the Statue of Libertytis crying right now.

Sort of. Venezuela owns Citgo so the money that Chavez gives to the citizens of Venezuela left over actual profits, after Chavez uses the oil money to run his country. Palin gives Alaskans money from taxes on the oil companies, who drill on federal lands (our land) who ship that oil overseas to furriners and commies and such.

Well, perhaps, except for:
- His first major decision shows incredibly poor judgement
- His first major decision shows his spur of the moment, little thought required process
- His first major decision was made without proper vetting
- His first major decision brought us some who:
Lies!
And lies!
And lies some more!
Is under numerous investigations!
Is attempting to exert executive privilege to avoid releasing information that will clearly be damaging, and over which she has not right to the claim!
Is woefully unprepared and lacks basic knowledge!
And, most importantly:
McCain’s chances of living under the strain of the presidency is not good!
So, yes, Palin is #2 (HA! that’s funny!) but she’s very much in a position to be #1 should they win in November.
PEACE
September 12th, 2008 at 9:20 pmYou are not being forceful enough here – Palin simply lied, and everyone should knopw it. Even for McCain or Palin to try and lay claim to her having “killed” the project is more than misleading.
If a family requests a relative to be removed from life-support and a nurse unplugs the machine, did the nurse kill the patient?
The project, as pushed for by Palin and Alaska was killed by Congress even before Palin took office:
What really happened here is that Palin dropped support for the project once it became clear that Alaska would have to cover at least some of the cost!
September 12th, 2008 at 9:21 pmImagine McCain Palin get ellected (o.k. the election is stolen and the supreme court appoints them). Imagine the neo cons and big oil (among others) directing McCain what to do. McCain does their bidding for a while but when the orders get too crazy he won’t cooperate anymore.
September 12th, 2008 at 9:22 pmThen he has an “accident” or his cancer reoccurs, or some other “calamity” befalls him. Then imagine Palin as our President. Someone who doesn’t think a war with Russia is a big deal. The neocons and arms manufacturers push for this war so they can steal billions of dollars. Then Palin, because she’s as dumb as they come, follows their orders and a war begins.
Imagine the end of the world.
Am I too far off? Have the past two elections been stolen with impunity? Why do you think it won’t happen again? Theres already a great deal of ellectionering in the battleground states (I’m surprised I havent’ read about in in TP).
What if it does happen again, it’s proven, then nothing happens because the Republicans are in charge like they are now?

September 12th, 2008 at 9:36 pmI believe the progressive blogs are making a huge impact on reporting the truth to the public.
repugs still want make a joke out of democracy by using ruthless methods (a perfect example cowards.)
I know some body here posted the Paul Krugman’s article. It’s really good up until the last paragraph.
They’re probably also counting on the prevalence of horse-race reporting, so that instead of the story being “McCain campaign lies,” it becomes “Obama on defensive in face of attacks.”
RIGHT ON!
The shit is finally hitting the fan.
BTW — I believe someone here posted(??) Where are the dems to counter repugs’ bs. Where the hell are they? S/he (poster) said Sen. Obama should kick them to the curb.

“Sarah Palin has been getting briefed on what she needs to know to be John McCain’s vice president. The first thing they taught her was CPR.”
—Conan O’Brien
“New Rule: Republicans must stop saying Obama is an elitist and just admit you don’t like him because of something he can’t help, something that’s a result of the way he was born. Admit it—you’re not voting for him because he’s smarter than you.”
—Bill Maher
And the funniest line of the week:
“[Sarah Palin] knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America. … And, uh, she also happens to represent, be governor of a state that’s right next to Russia.”
September 12th, 2008 at 10:12 pm—John McCain on Palin’s foreign policy experience
Hot off the wire from the Cincinnati Enquirer:
About one-third of the absentee ballot applications received at the Hamilton County Board of Elections have been ruled invalid because Republican Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign printed a version of the form with an extra, unneeded box on it.
It turns out the problem is that the McCain campaign added a box on these forms that required you to check it to confirm you were an eligible voter. Yep, that’s right- check here if you are eligible to vote. I guess the act of actually requesting an absentee ballot doesn’t qualify that. And if you don’t check it…
… bingo. You get the picture. And the McCain campaign has sent out over a MILLION of these forms. The State of Ohio and the local election boards, understandably, don’t want to pay to fix the mistake on this.
Over seven-hundred and fifty absentee applications have been rejected so far. If we’re counting on absentee and early voting to help us mobilize our GOTV effort, then this is a clear and present danger to it.
September 12th, 2008 at 10:14 pmHere’s the biggest “break” that McNumbNuts has made with the party of GDumbya.
Confronted with the fact that GDumbya is an inarticulate, drunken boob, the republicans have asked that we all overlook his “form” because of the “substance” of the man (I guess they’re referring to his resolve and compassion — bleck!).
Now, the Pentacostal Pork-barrel Princess of Wasilla springs onto the scene. McNumbNuts’ cynical, desperate, poorly-vetted VP selection is a know-nothing novice political opportunist but she’s got boobs. So McNumbNuts asks us to overlook her lack of “substance” because of her “form”.
September 12th, 2008 at 10:28 pmTo summarize the Straight Talk Express. McCain is against lobbyists – so his campaign staff is mainly lobbyists. He’s anti-K street but his congressional aides has all done so much good for lobbyists that they are running to K street in the droves.
Palin is anti-earmark but her state gets $2 back for every 1 they send to the feds.
Why do you lib-rals not bless the ground that these saints walk on. So Selfishly acting against their interests !
September 12th, 2008 at 10:31 pm87 Marie: Since when do the States abrogate their responsibilty and let the very biased candidates print their forms ?
Is the next step a ballot where you can only check McCain and nothing else ?
September 12th, 2008 at 10:35 pmRemember: You can’t have “appalling” without “palin.”
September 12th, 2008 at 10:39 pmAs others have said, I wish Gibson had followed up and asked what she did with the money.
September 12th, 2008 at 10:42 pmI must admit, the McCain-Palin Comedy Tour is an entertaining diversion during the Daily Show’s rerun week…
So looking forward to Stewart and Colbert’s recap!
September 12th, 2008 at 11:05 pmwhy would plain have a big whoop-da-do for her son farewell. Doesn’t she know she just marked him? This isn’t “Private Benjamin.”

September 13th, 2008 at 1:16 amTheir getting caught in these lies publicly,,, finally. Palin here and McCain was confronted pretty rough on “The View” for his two fictitious campaign ads. It’s about time.
September 13th, 2008 at 1:52 amThe good part in all this is America is learning about the Alaskan gravy train regarding Federal funding. We are seeing how much tax dollars go to Alaska in proportion to the number of people who live there.
September 13th, 2008 at 10:50 amJust once, I would like to see it go like this:
GIBSON: But it’s now pretty clearly documented. You supported that bridge before you opposed it. You were wearing a t-shirt in the 2006 campaign, showed your support for the bridge to nowhere.
But you turned against it after Congress had basically pulled the plug on it. […]
PALIN: I was for infrastructure being built in the state. And it’s not inappropriate for a mayor or for a governor to request and to work with their Congress — their congressmen, their congresswomen, to plug into the federal budget along with every other state a share of the federal budget for infrastructure.
What I supported was the link between a community and its airport. And we have found that link now.
GIBSON: Yes, okay… but that doesn’t explain why you lied openly and repeatedly about, until it was shown otherwise. Was it inappropriate to lie shamelessly to the American voters that way? Were you hoping to play on their ignorance, or what exactly?
September 14th, 2008 at 12:26 amThis is another example that the “old world jounalism of Murrow, Cronkite and Rather is dead and buried. In the case of the Time Magazine reporter Ms Tumulty, she seems to think the finding out the who, what, where, when and how have been replaced with a steno pad, which she records what ABC said in rebuttle to the complaint of Congressman Kucinich. There is a great disconnect with what happened and the points made by ABC. She asks little of no questions to ABC. She takes what is handed to her and repeats it vebatim and then calls that reporting. I call is stenography. Lida Sohbet sohbet sesli chat Gelinlik Modelleri

If you’re referring to Karl Schwarz’ articles, if they are true, how will we ever know unless the news media gets involved without bias? The military under orders not to speak out may never convey Karl Scharz’ expose’. Sesli Sohbet If Cheney was truly involved in 9/11 and protected in some way, then he’s being protected by what may be going on in the Caspian Sea area as well. That pre-9/11 August 10, 2000 article drives the point home to me that Cheney had a vested interest in the oil at the Caspian Sea area (before 9/11). Fx15 From all I’ve read in Schwarz’ articles, he claims the Taliban was working on a deal with Argentina with that pipeline in the Caspian Sea area and UNOCOL wanted the deal instead. Orjinal Lida It’s too much to get into here and I’m not able to convey in here what Schwarz has presented in his articles. Sikis Dig into Schwarz’ articles to learn more about the unnamed soldier’s experiences related to so-called Black Ops missions in the Caspian Sea area in Schwarz’ article. What Schwarz had to present in this article is an eye opener: kurtlar vadisi pusu izle

Let the American people know, dear Sarah, that you kept it anyway, to spend on your own pet projects, like the road to nowhere that was built despite the bridge to nowhere being nixed.
