Mean girl

Sarah Palin has a way of using "old boys" -- then dumping them when they become inconvenient.

    "This is just more of the same nonsense. obama has thrown more folks under the bus since the primaries began, starting with the man he could never disown and then promptly did when he became a political liability, i.e. Rev. Wright. And don't rely on someone else's view of obama's record, examine his actual votes yourself--they're listed on his own website."

    Talk about nonsense! I'd suggest a look at McCain's voting record, especially in regard to what's happening now in the economy (oh, yeah, and there are those wars we're paying for, too) and how many people he's had to throw under the bus during his own campaign. He's staved off on the lobbyists. Carly? She got millions after her decidedly, verifiably bad stint at HP. Gramm? He's STILL the advisor, and we the people are just a bunch of whiners. And hey, how about those Reverends Hagee and Parsley? Courted first and then dejected? Uh, YES. But Sarah stepped in--Evangelicals aboard. And if anyone cares about so-called "women's issues" or health care or Head Start for kids or the mininum wage or benefits for the troops, check out those votes by McCain, too.
