AP: Sarah Palin is a liar
The Associated Press just wrote about Palin's speech today. She lied in it. A lot. And they caught her.

John McCain and Sarah Palin are criticizing Democrat Barack Obama over requesting money for his home state of Illinois even though the Alaska governor's record is mixed.

At a rally, the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate accused Obama of requesting nearly $1 billion in earmarks.

In fact, Obama hasn't asked for any earmarks this year and last year, he sought $311 million worth.

Palin has cut back on pork-barrel requests, but in her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation.

1. Just call her Mooselini.
From an article about Il Duce" His incredible magnetism and public speaking skills disguised the fact that his speeches, when analyzed, were completely contradictory and his facts blatantly incorrect.

109. The Queen of Pork has climbed on my list because of the "welfare queen" meme
the Rs have used so effectively over the generations.
"Queen of Pork" inescapably carries some of that "welfare queen" stigma.
And, it fits Palin. She so strived to be crowned a queen of something.
Since "Queen" helps with her wish fulfillment too, it works for everyone! :rofl:

41. Full disclosure:
I did not think of it myself. I saw it on a smaller website and hadn't seen it here, so I thought it deserved more exposure. Not clever enough to think of it myself, but I was clever enough to recognize someone else's brilliance. Spread it around, people!

72. On Chris Matthews today
A few people were calling her a "pork barreler," which got shortened to "porker." The term was used three times before someone stopped himself, and said, "Did I just call Sarah Palin a 'porker'?" Priceless.

I'm waiting for someone to post the clip. Matthews was on fire today-- he was eating Republicans alive. Think he might be mad about losing the anchor gig for the elections?

What I'd really like to see is someone with the tools and the skills (which isn't me) paste "Mooselini" at the bottom of the photo, maybe crop the sides a bit -- and voila! A lovely poster to print and share!

Caribou Barbie still fits. Barbie though ??? she does look forties though..maybe late.
More so after somewhere earlier pics shown. Trying too hard to look like mom. looks matronly. Accentuates the contrast to beer wife..tries to look like 30s/20s Buffalo Chips Queen at mid 50's.

I used to date someone like her, the sister of the original Virginia Slims model. She was a real JAP. Even her brother, who didn't like his sister dating a Goy, agreed with me.
Sarah fits the character perfectly, and it rhymes better.

12. What a hoot. "I thought he wouldn't want to go there". What she meant was "I was prayin'
he wouldn't want to go there."



Just the other day our opponent brought up earmarks — and frankly I was surprised that he would even raise the subject at all," Palin said. "I thought he wouldn't want to go there."

Obama hasn't asked for any earmarks this year. Last year, he asked for $311 million worth, about $25 for every Illinois resident. Alaska asked this year for earmarks totaling $198 million, about $295 for every Alaska citizen.

Palin has cut back on pork project requests, but under her administration, Alaska is still and by far the largest per-capita consumer of federal pet-project spending.



If Sarah Palin thinks at all, it's not about the truth.

home of the Frozen Tundra.

I also have relatives in northern Saskatchewan. It's not the tundra that bothers me. It's what Alaska seems to do to the minds of its inhabitants. (Or maybe it's just that all the crazies gravitate up there. It's kinda like Idaho North.

It's weird up there for sure. My hubby's girlfriend was originally from Wasilla and she's given us an earful about Sarah Palin. No friend of hers, clearly, but she doesn't want her name publicized because she has family up there and apparently Sarah and Todd are known for their vindictiveness. I like hubby's girlfriend, she's quirky and geeky but has a really good heart. She's as terrified that Alaska is going to export Sarah Failin as we were that our old home state, Texas, was going to export Dubya. See how that turned out!

The media has been cowed and played. And they are fine with it, because their bosses bottom lines are what is at stake.

A little more hard hitting and edgy than they've been doing. This, I think, is the direction they need to go in.

28. McBush lies about Sen. Obama. The lies show how stupid
McBush is because the lies he tells have been proven to be lies within hours of the telling of them.

Examples:

McBush said that Sen. Obama has never worked with the Repugs on Legislation.

McBush said that Sen. Obama would raise taxes on all Americans.

57. What a weak critique... "she once appeared to support it."
She "appeared" to support it? She made it part of her gubernatorial campaign, and only changed her position well after the earmarks were spiked by Congress. Just ask the people on Ketchikan island. This reporter should find new work.
    State abandons "bridge to nowhere"
    Published: September 21, 2007

    Palin on Friday said the Ketchikan project was $329 million short of full funding.

    "It's clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island," Palin said.

    "Much of the public's attitude toward Alaska bridges is based on inaccurate portrayals of the projects here. But we need to focus on what we can do, rather than fight over what has happened," she said.


And check out this comment, from the above page, dated Sept. 2007, obviously long before there were VP considerations...
    Quite a Week

    Let's see...besides sign her son up for the service with lots of press, sit in on the Kott trial where she knew there'd be TV cameras, cold-cock Uncle Ted so she'd get lots of weekend press, call in and pick a fight with a talk radio host, and go back on two campaign promises (one to support the bridge (she said it to SE Conference) and one to conduct business out in the open (but instead she made ...

116. So they haven't changed all *that* much, then.
When the story first broke, they were the nicest about it, portraying it as a 'flip flop' and avoiding the issue of her lying about it in her first speech to the nation.

122. Consider the contrast between all the lies and exaggerations by Palin Re: her background ...
... and what the media response was to Hillary's "Bosnia sniper fire" exaggeration.

Palin is lying to pad her resume ("lying to embellish her record", as Olbermann said last night), but the media is ignoring it entirely.

62. The media isn't giving her a pass on this stuff.
I've seen these refutation stories now in multiple markets: CNN, MSNBC, NPR, WSJ. Now AP, which is going to reach a lot of homes. So are they upset at not getting access to her, or are they simply doing their jobs and checking facts? Either way, it helps give fuller disclosure to the public, and with such a short time frame before the election that has to be a good thing.

87. What I think is going to be fun is watching Palin try to manipulate her way out of this shit
from everything I've read she seems to be a bully and has gotten where she has with slightly above average looks, slightly above average intelligence and way above average willingness to destroy her enemies. Might have worked in a small place like Alaska but how's that going to work in the real world? Unless, of course, she and McCain manage to win this election and it will be even scarier than Bush because I think Palin is even more of a sociopath. Oh, and McCain had better get himself a food taster because if they win the election I don't doubt she'd be willing to off him to get the #1 spot.

119. They're refusing to say she lied about the Bridge to Nowhere.
"THE FACTS: Palin did abandon plans to build the nearly $400 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport. But she made her decision after the project had become an embarrassment to the state, after federal dollars for the project were pulled back and diverted to other uses in Alaska, and after she had appeared to support the bridge during her campaign for governor."

They haven't changed that much at all. Don't be fooled. They know that other outlets are all over it, and are trying to avoid giving away the fact that they're FOX-lite.

104. True believers ...
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 07:25 AM by daggahead
I hate to think this, but none of these lies matter. No matter how many are exposed, no matter how McCain's record shows he's no maverick, it will not matter. The corporate media (as already shown to back down to their masters by removing Olbermann and Matthews from any political coverage) will not allow Palin's lies or McCain's flip-flops to be exposed.

I am nervous that we're seeing a build-up to a repeat of 2004 ...

It shows that the truth does not matter, because it will never be brought to light by the conservative-owned media. Also, the faithful, true believers on the right would never let themselves believe the truth, either.

I'm seriously considering moving to if McSame/Failin win.

It seems to me that the American people ARE that stupid...so
why doesn't Obama start playing the game. After all, you can't
hate the player for playing the game. Obama should start
telling the american people he has the cure for cancer and
that he has already re-frozen the north pole and he sent the
order to kill Kim Jong Il .... The American people will buy
it!! They will buy anything!! HEY EVERYONE!!! MCDONALD'S BIG
MAC IS THE HEALTHIEST FOOD YOU CAN EAT!! 
Maybe the American people just don't care anymore. It seems
that Bush has successfully pissed off everyone including all
the people who voted for him. They are tired of the lies. 
The American people have given up on 2 candidates with their
different idea's battling it out until the best man wins. They
just want to vote for whoever and not have to think about it
anymore. 
GUESS WHAT?! YOU HAVE TO THINK!!!!!! WHY IS THINKING SO HARD
FOR SOME PEOPLE?! 
I am so tired of all the apathetic American's out there!!! I
will move to another country in a heartbeat if McCain somehow
wins this election. A campaign of lies seems to work, so I say
to Obama LIE YOUR ASS OFF SUPERMAN.
