Now that Alaska is front and center in the news again, it is a good time to catch up on a favorite story, The Bridge to Nowhere, using the Washington Post US Congress Votes Database.
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.
Sen. McCain did not vote on the Coburn Amendment, though he is on record as opposing the Ketchikan bridge earmark.

McCain didn't vote on the amendment
Obama defends natural disaster experience http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/01/obama-defends-natural-disaster-experience/
Bump
You just simply wouldn’t expect the corrupt MSM reporters to dig deep enough to gather up this information BEFORE bashing Sarah Palin, would you?
Corruption in the MSM has a long arm, and a small brain.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Simply. Wow.
Hope EVERYONE at the Convention pushes this story!!!!
Ruh-roh!!! Obama has (yet another) problem!!
But, it’s ok, he’s African-American. Only white conservatives like Bush are fair game when it comes to racism. When an African American (light weight) politician practices racism, it’s only because the conservative white guy forced him to do it!!!
(See how simple leftist “logic” is??)
I sent to Drudge...SEND, SEND SEND!!!
