Really? Is that your definition of her supporting the bailout? Her saying that "something" needs to be done. Did you miss the "not necessarily this" part?
That is a good point. I think she was trying to appear supportive of her running mate McCain but at the same time trying to say that she did not support that specific action.
Think Progress » Palin: What The Bailout Does Is Help Those Who Are Concerned About Health Care Reform
COURIC: Why isnt it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
PALIN: Ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy Oh, its got to be about job creation too. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions.
She voiced support for it more than once
An edited version of the interview.....but not edited enough to cover up her true intent.
She did say that health care reform must be about reining in spending and reducing taxes.
Also she says that the bailouts must do something about job creation. Helping banks make loans to small businesses. Not much of that ever happened. The funds were used by banks to buy out other banks. I don't think she would approve of this.
