McCain voted against the bill once, missing the second vote. Obama and Biden voted for it twice.
They are calling Palin a "liar" about her claim of killing the bridge, but they should tread carefully. The bill they voted for (twice) that earmarked monies for the bridge was in fact, and surprisingly, killed by Palin upon becoming governor of Alaska.
So the facts are plain. When it mattered, Gov. Palin stood up to Sen. Stevens and dealt the Bridge to Nowhere its death blow. This is something the U.S. Congress and senators Obama and Biden failed to do on multiple occasions.
And while it’s true that John McCain, unlike his running mate, has always opposed pork-barrel earmarks, Sarah Palin, unlike Obama and Biden, did the right thing when it counted most and stopped an egregious example of earmark abuse. And now, of course, Palin has joined McCain in calling for an end to earmarks.
Isn’t it better to come around to the right position than to keep on being wrong?
