Bridge to Nowhere
The Road to the Bridge to Nowhere
By David Knowles - Politics DailySticking with the motor vehicle theme for a moment. There's news out of Alaska about that Bridge to Nowhere, you know, the one that Sarah Palin was for building before it became a national disgrace. The money, as we now know, was not sent back to U.S. taxpayers, but kept by Palin's government. What did they do with it? Well, part of it was spent to build the road to the bridge to nowhere. And now that road is finished. From the Associated Press:JUNEAU, Alaska - Alaska now has a Road to Nowhere going to what would have been the Bridge to Nowhere. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's transportation ...
The Real Bridge to Nowhere!
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyIt has been widely reported that Sarah Palin only opposed the "Bridge to Nowhere" after it became a political joke, and that the state kept funds for the bridge project. Now, we know what she spent that money on. From ADN.com: To Palin's credit, there is no evidence of a fire pit, or flammable liquid of any kind, in the library.

By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyRepublican Vice-Presidential nominee and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has an unusual ally backing up her claim to have killed the infamous "bridge to nowhere," a $398 million earmark pet project sponsored by Alaska Senator Ted Stevens (R).

Palin has mentioned her rejection of the project at nearly every opportunity on the campaign trail, famously declaring that she told Congress, "thanks, but no thanks," on the bridge. The Obama campaign and its supporters have cried foul, claiming ...

By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe Obama campaign sent out a memo today, along with the accompanying picture, to challenge Palin's claim that she opposed Ted Stevens' "Bridge to Nowhere" earmark. (via email) I Supported the Bridge to Nowhere and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt Given that the McCain campaign again claimed that Governor Palin opposed the "Bridge to Nowhere" in their new ad today despite the fact that the claim has been repeatedly debunked, we thought you'd be interested in seeing the following photograph from Governor Palin's 2006 campaign in which she's proudly posing with a t-shirt that reads "NOWHERE ...
Palin Was for the 'Bridge to Nowhere,' Too
By David Knowles - Politics DailyMythbusters, start your engines! A key rationale that John McCain uses to justify his choice of Sarah Palin as anything but a crass, cynical play for disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters, is that Palin is a reformer who opposed the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere." The problem? Palin fought for the bridge before she fought against it. As George Stephanopoulos pointed out to a flat-footed Lindsay Graham:But Senator, she turned against that, only she campaigned for it in her 2006 race, and turned against it in 2007 only after it became a national joke.
