Factchecking Palin

[Shogun]

No shit?
And then she found out how much it was going to cost, and realized it might not be completed.

So she managed to get the money and do some expansion ANYWAY, moron.

She's a genius.

THAT IS NOT WHAT THE ARTICLE YOU POSTED SAYS BABA

and baba.. what the fuck is this? I searched this link high and low and dont see the paragraph you posted at all.



She has drastically reduced earmark requests and spending since her tenure:

Media Matters - "CBS' Schieffer asserted Palin was "against earmarks" and "bridge to nowhere" without noting her earmark requests, previous reported support for bridge
The Palin administration has responded to this message by requesting 31 earmarks, down from 54 last year. Of these, 27 involve continuing or previous appropriations and four are new. The total dollar amount of these requests has been reduced from about $550 million in the previous year to just less than $200 million.

Further, the governor has insisted that each Alaska request must demonstrate an important federal purpose and strong public support.

We also have heard that, wherever possible, a state or local match should be provided. The state's budget requests incorporate this principle."
