The really big lesson is:
3). McCain, Palin, Biden and Obama are all lying thieving Kleptocrats.
Really, can’t we do better? Is putting a Republican in office really important when they have shown time and again they are NOT fiscally conservative (or even responsible)
This “well, Obama and Biden do bad things too” stuff really gets old. When are we going to hold out leaders accountable instead of just settling for Republicans that are barely better than Democrats when they are parties of thieves.
I suppose, sadly, we get what we deserve...

Both Obama and Biden in the Senate voted for building this Alaska bridge to nowhere not only once, but twice.
#1) Both Obama and Biden approved funds for this bridge.
#2) There was an attempt in the Senate to divert these bridge funds to Katrina victims in New Orleans.
Both Obama and Biden voted against diverting these bridge funds to Katrina victims.
Palin, after these monies showed up in Alaska killed this bridge to nowhere project.

in the lipstick on a pig issue, Obama blamed the media bias of stirring up a frenzy! He would need to be delusional to think the media is shilling for the republicans. As soon as he jumped on the media, I knew he was done.
