Palin’s Lie Caught on Camera, Says Obama Campaign

[DogPoundPup]

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has lied and dissembled about her past support for the “Bridge to Nowhere “earmark, as many journalists have reported.

Now, the Obama campaign is circulating a photograph of Palin literally bragging about her support for the bridge, with a note titled “I supported the ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt.”

Here’s the picture worth a thousand fact-checks:



It’s from Palin’s 2006 campaign, explains an Obama aide, where “she’s proudly posing with a T-shirt that reads, ‘NOWHERE ALASKA 99901.’”

Now, from a distance, the entire fight over the bridge earmark could look silly, compared to bigger problems facing the country.

Obama is arguing, however, that the McCain campaign’s blatant lies, about issues small and large, reveal the GOP nominee’s approach to governance.

It is indeed striking that McCain picked this fight, touting his running mate’s “reform” record not through spin, or selective biography, but by flatly lying about her recent actions.

1. Sounds like a crappy Fox tv show about teenage angst: Nowhere Alaska 99901.

Dude, did you lose your virginity yet?

Dude, you know it.

Dude, so who was the lucky recipient, if I may so inquire?

Dude, her name was Bristol.

Dude, that name sounds so familiar.

Dude, it should, she's the daughter of the Governor.

Dude, the one that was selected to be the veep for Grampa Wasshizzname?

Dude, you know it.

Dude, you're so screwed.

Dude, naw, I'm moving to Canada next week.

Dude, nice move.

Dude, I'm going to claim I'm a political prisoner.

Dude, a political prisoner?

Dude, yeah, a political prisoner of love!

Dude, that is so funny.

Dude, I'm so dead.

Dude, what now, pray tell me.

Dude, she's going to be my mother-in-law.

Dude, you are so dead.

Dude, I know.

2. I want to take that picture of Palin with the "Nowhere" t-shirt

and turn the zip code upside down and change the 01 to I AM. Then I'd have a picture of Palin with a t-shirt that says:

NOWHERE, ALASKA
I AM 666

or just:
NOWHERE, ALASKA
666

would suffice. Then I'd send it to every fundie I knew and ask them if they thought Palin was the Whore of Babylon too. On the other hand, I've got real shit I need to do.

3. It's just a trap..

The bridge routine is just a trap, baiting us...

They are already dragging this up....

"Though Gov. Palin originally supported the earmark spending on the Ketchikan bridge (“to nowhere), she eventually killed the project, chosing to spend Federal money on other infrasturcture programs.

However, Sen. Biden and Sen. Obama voted for funding the Bridge, even when given a second chance by Sen. Tom Coburn, who proposed shifting earmark funds to Katrina relief."

5. Yes, everything is a Rove engineered trap.

7. Epic. Fail. Pizzaboy.

8. The entire budget wouldn't have passed otherwise

and the Democrats blamed for not being able to get a budget. Coburn knew the amendment wouldn't pass.

9. Porky Palin kept the money and spent it on some other pork project.

Big improvement. :eyes: So much for Mooselini's claim that Alaskans will build things they need themselves. The Hawky Maum needs to wean herself from the government teat.

10. And Johnny McSame didn't vote at all

Absent again. How many votes has this man missed?

6. Obama Team is right, imo...it's about the bigger picture

of lying about anything and their approach to governing.

Good on the Obama research team coming up with the ever present pics of palin(never met a photo op she couldn't make) so her lies can be documented for The Facts Ads.
