Everyone lately has been complaining about Sarah Palin being for the Bridge To Nowhere before she was against it. Ironically, these are the same people who complained about John Kerry being a flip-flopper last time.
However, both Obama and Biden voted to fund the bridge, even when given a chance by Sen. Coburn to divert the funds to Katrina relief. McCain did not vote, although he is on record opposing the bridge earmark. Yet again Obama is allowed to accuse someone else of doing exactly the same thing he has done himself. When are people going to realize what a hypocrite he is? This is getting ridiculous and yet nothing is being said.
The rumors about Sarah Palin have been running rampant. From her faking her pregnancy to banning books, it seems like everyone wants to believe the first thing they hear about this woman. The thing that is hard ot believe though, is how easy it is to check these facts out. They are all false. She did not fake her pregnancy, she did not want to ban books, she did not cut funding for special needs programs, the list goes on.
Obama and his supporters had to launch a site just to stop the rumors about him, yet these hypocrites are gleefully going around smearing this woman and her family. Don’t agree wither actual policies, fine, neither do I. Is it so much to ask though that we have a mature, rational discussion in this country?
You know people who believe any of the following should not be allowed to vote:
1. Obama is a Muslim
2. Obama is not an American citizen
3. Palin faked her pregnancy
4. Palin wanted to ban books
Or any of the other countless, baseless rumors about any candidate. There are enough valid reasons to not vote for either.
The thing is, if you listen to the whole quote you know he was talking about McCain’s policies, but this phrase was chosen specifically to harken back to Palin’s own lipstick comment. This man is supposed to be brilliant and a great orator, yet either he was too stupid to realize people would jump on this, or, did in fact want to evoke Palin with this comment.
I am sick of hearing the “She’s not qualified” argument. These are former VPs and the experience they had before becoming the candidate:
Vice-Presidents in history:
Thomas Marshall-He served as Governor of Indiana from 1909 to 1913.
Chester Arthur- Arthur was a member of the Stalwart faction of the Republican Party and a political protégé of Roscoe Conkling, rising to Collector of Customs for the Port of New York
Calvin Coolidge- Mayor, State Legislature, Governor
Henry Wallace- Sec. Of Agriculture
Charles Dawes- Comptroller of currency, failed Senate bid
