Palin In '06: I Won't Let "Spinmeisters" Turn Bridge To Nowhere Into "Something Negative"

On the campaign trail Saturday, Gov. Sarah Palin defended her record on earmarks and spending claiming - per ABC's Jake Tapper - that she "championed reform of earmark spending by Congress, and I told the Congress thanks but no thanks on that 'Bridge to Nowhere.' If our state wanted a bridge, we'd build it ourselves."

By now, it is evident that the Alaska Republican is either knowingly deceiving voters or simply has her facts wrong when it comes to her support for the bridge. Palin backed the project when she ran for the governor's seat, even posing for a picture holding a t-shirt reading "Nowhere, Alaska" - a sympathetic gesture to the ridiculed construction plans.

And, it turns out, she once promised the voters of her home state that she would not only come to the defense of the bridge but would "not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that's so negative."

Why aren't the Democrats running an ad about this everywhere?

I think an ad should hit her with these things:

1. Bridge to Nowhere flip flop
2. Connection to Ted Stevens
3. Banning library books
4. No Plane was sold on E-Bay
5. Leaving her town 20 Million in Debt
6. Trooper Gate

Then simply suggest she is just another politician in the mold of GWB a heartbeat away from the presidency.

He obviously didn't care to vet her - but did they really think the rest of us wouldn't dig up this stuff?

Thank you Al Gore for inventing the internet :-) which allows us to get that info in a hurry.

Today in the Arizona Republic, a columnist ended her column with that phrase, "Sarah Palin is a bridge to nowhere." It was great.

It sums up her hypocrisy, the fact that she isn't a reformer, that she lies, and it can't be spun as sexist.

It's such a great line it needs to be seen by some of the big shots who come to DU for ideas.
