She’s quite a reformer! Sarah Palin’s earmarks rank up there with some of the stranger ones we’ve seen.
According to Alaska’s 2009 catalog of earmark requests the state’s sea life are in great need of federal money. As Politico points out, Palin’s office requested $2 million in federal monies to study crab mating habits; $494,900 for the recreational halibut harvest and $3.2 million for seal genetics research.
Again, this stuff is very routine, but on a daily basis they are repeating the lie that she is a “reformer” when it comes to earmarks. It doesn’t pass the smell test.
If you voted for George W. Bush, and now realize his campaign promises were mostly BS, how can you believe the BS coming from this campaign, which is being run by the same people?
This campaign is no different from a campaign for low-fat potato chips. The marketer hypes up lower fat content, and gullible consumers think they’re eating health food. Then they look in the mirror and wonder why they’re still fat.
Look in the mirror, and ask yourself if you’re buying their bullshit.
