Well, how about Gov. Palin? She’s you know, an up and comer from Alaska. She – they’re starting to run an ad now saying she opposed the bridge to nowhere. Well now, let’s get the facts clear here. When she was mayor, she hired a Washington lobbyist to get earmarks – pork barrel spending – all the things that John McCain says is bad, she lobbied to get! And got a whole lot of it. When it came to the bridge to nowhere, she was for it until everybody started raising a fuss about it and she started running for governor and then suddenly she was against it! You remember that? For it before you were against it? I mean you can’t just make stuff up. You can’t just recreate yourself. You can’t just reinvent yourself. The American people aren’t stupid.
No, the American people aren’t stupid. And they won’t tolerate this kind of gratutious attack on a genuine American hero, especially from a guy like Senator Obama who sought $740 million worth of earmarks of his own during a very short stint in the United States senate. Yes, my dear Obamaphiles, it’s true – during his time as a senator, Barack Obama has requested more than $1million/day for each day the senate has been in session. In case you’re keeping score at home, John McCain has never requested a single earmark during his lengthy senate career.
