-- Although Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden routinely mocks his Republican counterpart, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, for her onetime support of the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere," Biden and his running mate voted to keep the project alive twice.
Both Biden and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama voted to kill a Senate amendment that would have diverted federal funding for the bridge to repair a Louisiana span badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina, Senate records show.
And both voted for the final transportation bill that included the $223 million earmark for the Alaska project.

Obama is America’s bridge to obvlivion!
I was about to post this. “CNN Has Impartial Moment.” Amazing. Is Rush’s tirade this morning causing media to step back for a second?
This topic is running a close second to the PBS Palin poll...



If I had know that McCain promised to veto ANY bill that had ‘earmarks’ I would have been supporting him sooner.
But with his record.. who knew? (see McCain/Feingold)
Thank God he picked Palin or there might never have been enough press coverage (no time- after they were done with “The One”)
;->
Even though they both voted against diverting the funds?
AMEN to that. God help us if he wins!
But I for my part am doing all I can to help McCain/Palin.
Tough going in this ultra blue state of Rhode Island. I guess they don’t call it the Ocean (Blue) State for nothing.
PS: Isn’t it funny its the most corrupt state in the union too.
Nah, Chris Matthews has been sent out by NBC to speak for Obama in Bristol, Virginia this week. [I’m tempted to freep the freak with a sign on the side of my motorhome asking if he’s still got that almost blackman Obama tingle going up his white, liberal, presstitute leg.] The alphabet networks are the fifth column enemy and now aren’t even trying to hide it from the dumbed-down voters. The Obama campaign lies wouldn’t have life if nbot for the media working off of the DNC talking points.

No! You mean that Obama and Biden are actually lying, two faced, sacks of feces?
Hard to imagine. /sarc...
Let’s see according to CNN Palin turned down the Bridge to Nowhere only after it had become a national joke. I guess that’s why it was supported 93-1 in the senate. Obviously the senate didn’t think it was a joke or else they wouldn’t have turned down the proposal to shift the funds from Alaska to New Orleans. Palin could have used those funds for the “bridge” but instead turned it down. CNN can’t stand Palin getting credit for anything. I guess putting Biden in a bad light is progess somewhat.
