Barack Obama and Joe Biden did NOT vote for the Bridge to Nowhere

[gateley]

as claimed by that McCain guy the other night on TV.

Mike Malloy just named the four Dems who did, and O and Joe were NOT among them.

ANOTHER lie!

1. Jesus...how deep is that hole they are digging?

[1corona4u]

2. I guess no one else cares?

I heard it from freeps a couple of times today...

5. I rec'd this.

[Cha]

7. We care..this is going to

be spread far and wide:bounce:

[elocs]

3. I heard that and wondered about it,

if the funding was put in with something they could not vote against, but it was a lie after all. Why lie about something that is so easy to check?

[Cha]

6. Because they don't give a shit..they're going for

broke.

[Cha]

4. Rec'd! Let's get this to Front Page and The Greatest!

I read that they did on DU and I thought "oh dawg".. should have fucking known better even if it was just for a second!

The goperverts strategy is ..the bigger the lie the more you say it over and over again.

8. Repugs lie for a reason. If people fall for the lie you know your propaganda is working.

9. McCain's camp shouldn't have opened this can of worms

The Alaskans wanted the money returned and used to help Katrina victims. Instead...

"This is smoke and mirrors. It’s a cheap stunt by the GOP to deflect public criticism that doesn’t really change much of anything. All the conference committee did was remove the earmark for the bridges. Alaska will still be getting the same obscene amount of money from the federal government, it’s just that the state won’t be required to use it to build those two particular bridges. It’ll be up to the executive and the state legislature to decide how to spend it."
