I’m celebrating eight years here on FR and posted over 900 threads so I’m not a troll. However, I’m beginning to have some questions, I don’t know how serious, about Sarah Palin’s veracity. I listened to all of Fox’s interviews, both with Todd and with Sarah and picked up a couple of discrepancies with what she said. Let me be specific.

First, Greta asked Todd about the circumstances surrounding her selection. He said they didn’t tell the three girls about their mother’s selection until they arrived in Ohio about 10:30-11:00 p.m. that Thursday night. He took away their cell phones so they couldn’t even call their friends that they were going on a trip. Sarah, on the other hand, said they had a family council, told the girls and voted on it (Part 1, minute 0:45). Someone’s version doesn’t track.

Second, last night, Hannity asked her about the bridge to nowhere and whether she had ever favored it (Part 6, minute 3:30). She just said she opposed it and that they went to a ferry to get people between Ketchican and their airport. The record appears to show she did favor it at first but changed her mind when the cost almost doubled (and when the national focus on earmarks began).

So just asking for clarification. Duck if you must, but if answering make sure there are no differences in current and previous statements or in events that occurred just a couple of weeks ago. And, BTW, Hannity gave a friendly interview, with softballs. If I noticed some differences over the past few nights, I imagine the corrupt MSM will pull them out two and highlight them.

How do you know that the family vote was with knowledge that she was on the short list ? or in between the time after she was picked and Dayton.

We dont know the exact timeline. I think it would be a bit of a stretch to see dishonestly unless you were out looking for it. and then you have to ask. What would be her motive to lie ?

The two versions are not necessarily incompatible, if you assume that the Palin family had a huddle in Ohio before the official announcement, with the option of killing the announcement if the girls had screaming objections.
