As a vice presidential candidate, Gov. Sarah Palin has railed against federal earmarks, or congressional funding for pork-barrel projects. "In our state, we reformed the abuses of earmarks," Palin recently boasted to a rally in Lancaster, Pa. "We championed earmark reform up there," she said, "to stop Congress from wasting public money on things that didn't serve the public interest."


But musty records culled from the archives of the Wasilla, Alaska, city government reveal that Palin was directly involved in soliciting millions of dollars in earmarks for Wasilla when she was mayor. And she got help from a well-connected Washington lobbyist. (cont)

Same old shit we have now. Say one thing, do another.

Let me annunciate that for you......Pol-lie-tician!

Let it be known that I have on problem with our leaders that push for earmarks. That's what we elect them to do is bring home the bacon. What I have a problem with is those that say they don't do it, but have a record of doing it. That's called a lie.

Ladies and gentlemen, Sarah Palin presents the Road to Nowhere:
