She changed her mind. So it's not a lie to say she opposed it because
she did after originally supporting it. Politicians change their
minds sometimes.

BTW, Obama and Biden both voted for the Bridge to Nowhere in the
Senate twice and both voted against an amendment to the bill that
would have taken $125 million out of the bridge project and transfer
it to rebuilding the Interstate 10 bridge between New Orleans and St.
Tammany?s Parish, which was destroyed by Katrina.

If being for the bridge was such a bad thing, why did Obama and Biden
vote for it?

Oh, wait, so Sarah Palin "changes her mind", and any Democrat "flip
flops". Pretty pathetic double standard, don't you think? And Ms. P did
not "change her mind", she endorsed the bridge while running for
Governor, but it was changed for her when it became a national scandal.
Even then, she did not return the federal money allocated to it; she
used it elsewhere. When the conservative Wall Street Journal takes her
to task on it, you know it is a serious problem.

Pretty nice way to rip off the taxpayer in my book, but "changing her
mind" in yours. But let's have the Magoo campaign burn up their cash
running denial ads. That's just fine.

Oh, she seems to be a fast learner. Three Los Angeles Times articles
today (Sept. 12), two on page A22 and one on B1, seem curious.

While she was mayor Wasilla police charged rape victims for the
evidence collection kits used in investigation cases. These kits go
for $300 to $1200 each. The Governor who was in office at that time
said yesterday that Wasilla was "unique" [literally that would mean
"the only one," I suppose] in charging victims for investigating the
crimes of which they were victims. The practice continued four years
until State lawmakers passed a bill ending it, over the objection of
the Wasilla police chief who said the city would have to find funds to
cover the costs of buying the rape kits and conducting the tests.
Maria Comella, a McCain spokeswoman, said Palin "does not believe, nor
has she ever believed, that rape victims should have to pay for an
evidence-gathering test."

The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee support a bill
backed by Palin to build a road through a federal wildlife refuge to
link King Cove, pop. 800, to an all-weather airport 25 miles away. The
price tag could reach $30 million. Federal approval would not include
earmarks.

Again on the ecology front: the day before McCain picked her Palin
wrote Governor Schwarzenegger asking him to veto a California bill
intended to reduce pollution in California ports by imposing
restrictions on truck traffic in the area and collecting a fee to fund
the program. (LA Times, 9/12, page B1). Palin says the bill would
harm consumers and the economy in both states.
