Before I knew how to do a screen capture, the democrat party there used to have it on their web page, that Palin stopped the project, but they took it off a couple of days after she became the veep candidate.

Pretty cool how she and Mav made political hay out of opposition to Federal spending on the bridge, but kept the money anyway.

They still make a great team.

Lets get them together again!

Furthermore, on Sep. 3, 2008 a reporter in Ketchikan sent the Gov. a letter he had written to the media who were howling and lying about this:

Dear Media Moguls,

I am Tom Miller, a reporter at the Ketchikan Daily News for the past 18 years. Ketchikan is the town on the other end of the Bridge to Nowhere.

Don’t be fooled by bloggers or others saying Patin was inconsistent about the bridge when she was in Ketchikan, offering limited support for the project, compared to how she acted as governor, when she nixed it in its expensive form.

Here are stories written by our Ketchikan Daily News reporter, Scott Bowlen, about Patin in Ketchikan while running for governor, and what she said later when she cut the bridge from consideration. I’ve highlighted portions I think are pertinent to her stand on the issue.

She emphasized “reasonableness” and said at the beginning, in the first statement I know of on the topic, that the bridge, as promoted, was “grandiose.” It’s important to realize there were about 13 alternative designs for this bridge. It was the community that insisted on the most expensive version for various reasons.

The above is part of an even more extensive group of emails posted here for anyone wanting the truth. The emails show she even tried to figure out how to give the money back, even though most of it (received during the Murkowski Administration) was "formula funds" not specific to the Gravina Island Bridge. The lawyers said it couldn't be done and Don Young was having a fit over it.

She killed this turkey before she ever met John McCain and long before the GOP nominee had been selected.

Trolling through her emails ... the gift that keeps on giving.

There is so much to love about Sarah. She is honest, witty, charming, a solid conservative and very beautiful. Her greatest asset is getting the Libs so upset that they froth at the mouth and piss all over themselves.
