Three times in recent years, the Arizona senator's lists of 'objectionable' pork spending have included earmarks requested by his new running mate.


"So while Sen. McCain was going after cutting earmarks in Washington," said Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for Common Sense, "Gov. Palin was going after getting earmarks."


This criticism I don't quite understand - but I do understand the political value of the criticism.


Isn't it her responsibility to try and get these earmarks if they are available. I mean if these earmarks were available to the City of San Diego and the Mayor didn't do his utmost to try and get the funds for the City I would be pissed...and if these earmarks are available to the State of California and Arnold did not try and put the state in line to get this pork - I'd say he isn't doing his job .

Now if it is the responsibility of the Congress to control all this pork barrel and they don't ...shouldn't the blame actually go on Congress for approving this crap?

...and I don't know where Obama stands on the issue - but the idea that come Jan 2009 the public would know what the pork is and who is voting to approve it - appeals to me as a tax payer.

What is Bush's approval rating something like 30%? My point is -it's not 0.0.

So like it or not some people still support him and his policies.

Sometimes reality is a bitch! :wf

Actually, Geeker, the reason i posted this was NOT to show that she is some reckless spender. Rather, it is to point out how she deceives and lies. She is trying to come across as some type of reformer of earmarks when in less than two years she has earmarked 400 million dollars for a state with a population a tenth the size as Illinois.

See my point? In just two weeks, this woman has told more lies than both candidates combined.

But thats a cop out. Why do we have to settle for that? If you have examples during this campaign where Obama is lying, lay them out. I would love to see them. Perhaps Im on the wrong horse.

It would be a cop out only If I was 100% certain to be voting for McCain/Palin. I am still very undecided at this point. Although I am a registered Republican, I am a very moderate one. In my heart of hearts, I believe both parties (Rep and Dem in general, not the current candidates) bring positive things to the table. My biggest gripe and complaints are with politicians as a whole. It just seems increasingly with every passing election (not only nationwide, but on a state and local level as well) we as American citizens are forced over and over to vote for the "lesser of two evils" candidate. And frankly, that just sucks. I realize that not every feels the same way I do, but I assure you that I am not alone.
