This story comes from the AP off of AOL.com
http://news.aol.com/...
It says she basically did a Haliburton on the pipeline deal that she so gleefully rambled about at the RNC convention and in numerous speeches thereafter. It wasn't a 'no-bid' contract, but the AP reports that she manipulated the deal in various ways to make sure that a company she had ties to got it and that no one else had a real shot.
We all know she's violated ethics laws, she's flip flopped on earmarks and bridges to nowhere, her political beliefs are just to the Right of Jerry Falwell and Sean Hannity etc. etc.
But for the AP to report on this and for it to show up on AOL which by the way I'm always finding to be way Right of Center in its reporting, to me, is monumental.
The steady drip of stupidity and scandal seems never-ending with the Palin-McCain ticket.
I just hope that the MSM picks up on this.
It's one thing to spend $150,000 on clothes in 6 weeks - more than the average American family earns in 2 years, or 85% of the average cost of a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house. But it's another thing to get caught in another manipulation of the system to benefit oneself.
Charge per diem when you're at home in Wasilla instead of Juneau... check Charge clothes to the McCain Campaign...check
Call Obama a pal of terrorists ... while you run with kids from the Alaska Independence Party? Check
Call Ayers a terrorist, but not the bombers of abortion clinics...? Check
Pal around with Witch Doctors at your funky, funky church up there in Wasilla? Check
Talk about being mayor of Wasilla as if it's like being mayor of LA or Chicago or DC...? And on and on..
And, now manipulate the pipeline deal for your own interests. ...
What won't this woman do...?
I'm pro-Obama. I've been wanting him to be President ever since I read "Dreams of My Father" after listening to his 2004 DNC convention speech. I've been against McCain since he surfaced as the GOP nominee. But I am SOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo completely against everything Sarah Palin stands for. She is the manifestation of all that is really evil on the conservative corrupt side of the aisle and that we need to remove from American politics and indeed American society.
Please, please, please GOTV GOTV GOTV !!! Not just for Obama, who we all love and respect here and then some... But GOTV against Sarah Palin Please.
