MM,

<<That's been going on since before Palin was born. She has nothing to do with it.>>

True it has been going on for a long time but she has everything to do with it. Mayor Palin and governor Palin partook when it was in her city's and state's best interest. Palin hired a lobbyist for a town with at most, 9 thousand people and got several millions of dollars. She kept the money for the bridge to nowhere after being for it and then being against it when the political winds changed and didn't give it back as she has implied. And all of it is above board, well documented, legal with nothing wrong with it EXCEPT when you then try to sell yourself as someone who is against these practices and now wants to be a reformer by ignoring your past. She would have more credibility if she said she partook but now sees that, in the best interest of the country, she was wrong.

Same thing if Obama would say he has tons of executive experience. He doesn't, no matter how you want to try to dress up his resume(or put lipstick on it since this is what is driving this stupid controversy). You would be all over that comment if he actually had made it.

If this wasn't politics and if Palin was applying for an anti-earmark job with her resume, no way she would be hired unless the people doing the hiring were wanting to get inside the mind of those asking for earmarks.
