Roy, You and Turd Blossom.....
"Her budget chief directed state agencies to reduce earmark requests to only "the most compelling needs" with "a strong national purpose", explaining to reporters,"We really want to skinny down"
Fact Check for you Roy...since you did ask me nicely to respond to the specifics of Turds fantasy piece. However, please note that I prefer non-fiction vs having to respond to fiction...just so you will have this as a reference point in the future.
"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.
Those requests for the study of wildlife genetics and mating habits seems pretty antithetical to the long-standig views of Palin's running mate, John McCain.
"We're not going to spend $3 million of your tax dollars to study the DNA of bears in Montana," McCain said earlier this year, referring to a request from Montana for federal money to study the endangered grizzly bear. "I don't know if it was a paternity issue or criminal, but it was a waste of money."
Roy, Palin doesn't think that man is destroying the earth and she cares less about polar bears, but she would take your tax dollar and my tax dollar on seal genetics so a group of men can have more baby seals to club to death for a sports activity.....my kind of Gal!!! |
