I gotta list these things.
1. After only 20 months as governor has hired a lawyer to protect in her "Troopergate." And we all know what applying "gate" means.
2. As mayor of a town of less than 9 thousand, inherited zero debt, ran up a 22 million dollar debt.
3. She incorrectly pronounces "nuclear" as "nucular."
4. She attended secessionist conventions.
5. This is a big one for me because it is from a live TV interview from ONLY ONE MONTH AGO! She said "I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?"
6. The Alaska state senator running an investigation of Gov. Palin says the McCain campaign is using stall tactics to prevent him from releasing his final report by Oct. 31, four days before the November election. Clear abuse of power.
7. Obama says I can't talk about her underage pregnant daugher, but I can say (8.) that she "eloped" and had a baby less than 8 full months later.
I have seen a photo (it is real) of Mrs. Palin wearing a shirt that says "I may be broke but, I'm not flat busted." I married a sexy librarian with big hooters, I get the appeal, but (9.) that's white trash.
10. In her first television interview after being selected said she "opposed the 'Bridge to Nowhere.'" As The New Republic's Bradford Plumer shows, citing reports from the Anchorage Daily News and PALIN'S OWN OFFICIAL STATMENT, Palin supported the bridge AT EVERY STEP!
A). Liar.
B) She supported it in campaign ads, it's not conjure. This direct refutes "pork buster."
Ten is enough.
Nope.
11. Hired a lobbyist firm to get her small town far more than their fair share of federal taxes. Ronnie would not approve.
True or not. Fair or not. Classless or not. That's all people are talking about.
She is a bad pick.
Admit it!
