Is earmark-loving Palin really a "reformer"?

Question

See, IN HER OWN HANDWRITING: http://www.washingtonindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/council-scribble.jpg

One of Sarah Palin’s major selling points is her supposed reputation as an anti-wasteful-spending reformer who will clean up Washington. Well, the only problem with that is her records from back when she was mayor have surfaced, and in those records she boasts about getting, you guessed it, federal money for pork barrel projects.

And guess who criticized her pork barrel politics? Yep. Ol' McCain himself: http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-earmarks3-2008sep03,0,2482434.story

Answer 1

Exactly...and she also has ties to Steven Silver (whose client was also Jack Abramhoff), the Washington Lobbyists to help her get some of that "good government cheese" to bring to her tiny town...Everytime I think about Palin and how much money she brought to her tiny towns in Alaska...I think about how the cities in my area (DC-MD-VA) are struggling to come up with the monies for schools, roads, transportations etc....I live in a once rural area and still don't have access to a subway or bus routes that can get me to DC...So I have to drive...Wasteful spending for Sarah Palin makes me sick to my stomach....She needs to pay that money back....

Answer 2

She's more like George Bush than McCain himself.

Answer 3

They are not reformers. They are both Republicans like Bush. Duhhh

Answer 4

She's a complete fraud and phony, who, as you point out, shamelessly lies repeatedly about her own record, why would anyone believe anything she says about Obama?
