When is Sarah Palin going on The View?
Palin cut more than $200 mill from the earmark bag. I believe she asked for 3 earmarks, and cut more than half the earmarks the state was receiving.
Pretty good. Does Obama have something to compare it to?
Palin cut more than $200 mill from the earmark bag. I believe she asked for 3 earmarks, and cut more than half the earmarks the state was receiving.
when it comes to earmarks, Palin is no purist like McCain.
While she was mayor of the small town of Wasilla, Alaska, Palin hired a lobbyist to seek federal money for special projects. Wasilla obtained 14 earmarks, totaling $27 million, between 2000-2003, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan watchdog group that monitors federal spending.
As governor, Palin has asked for 31 earmarks worth $197 million for the 2009 fiscal year. State budget documents show that the state requested 52 earmarks worth $256 million for the 2008 budget year.
Fact Check: McCain misstates Palin earmarks record - Yahoo! News
It crazy how the right just spews whatever lies the party feeds them without checking.
a transcript:
WALTERS: What is she going to reform specifically, senator?
MCCAIN: Well, first of all, earmark spending, which she vetoed a half a billion dollars worth in the state of Alaska.
WALTERS: She also took some earmarks there.
BEHAR: A lot.
MCCAIN: No, not as governor she didnt, she vetoed
WALTERS: As Mayor.
MCCAIN: Well, look, the fact is that she was a reform governor.

Think Progress On The View, McCain Falsely Claims Palin Never Requested Earmarks As Governor Of Alaska
I await your concession on this matter Allie!
Good grief. Is that all you guys can pull up? Mistakes made on the campaign trail?
It isn't like a concentrated effort to pull the wool over the public's eyes. She vetoed hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks. She halved the earmarks that were already in place.
This is semantics. Carry on.
excuses are like assholes and you allie, are an asshole...
it's kind of sad and pathetic how scared the repubs are now... LOL
Naa.. thats Oprah... or was it springer?
What's wrong with earmarks ?
LOL.. apparently thats Sarahs new stance after charlie asked her about the millions of dollars in requests... some of which were for studying shelfish mating habits...
you're asking me like I give a fuck about earmarks? really?
Obama isn't running his campaign as an anti-earmark candidate dillo. SHE IS!
If she didn't open her fat trap about how against them she was no one would give two shits about the fact that she's a fund sucking earmark lover.
what part of HYPOCRISY is alluding you?
really stop jerkin off, allow the blood flow to return to the head with the brain and think about it...
Palin cut more than $200 mill from the earmark bag. I believe she asked for 3 earmarks, and cut more than half the earmarks the state was receiving.
Pretty good. Does Obama have something to compare it to?
The only reason I bring it up is because the spin NOW is that earmarks are all bad-----she prides herself in cutting only the WASTEFUL ones. There is a difference so I thought I would explain that before people start making asses of themselves.
Well, shouldn't you be taking that up with McCain since he is the one doing the earmark spinning?
