Roger, per Larry Also’s first comment on this thread that the bridge to nowhere stuff isn’t pulled down, don’t you think you should correct your post so that it isn’t false and misleading?

The “left” is another matter, but the Democratic Party remains what it has been since Martin Van Buren invented it under Andrew Jackson – a Spoils System devoted to seizing resources from the productive sectors of society and distributing them to their supporters and themselves. Power for money for power. Thus Fannie and Freddie are jusified as helping people buy houses but really exist to pay huge salaries to the Jamie Goreliks of the world. “Ideas” and “concerns” are pretexts. It was ever thus.

fred:
That’s right. And if they had voted with Coburn and killed the bridge, Palin would have saluted them for good deeds.
OT:
Coburn was a guy I was hoping McCain would pick. He is a great Senator, and a man who is under review with the Senate ethics committee for delivering babies for free. The Senate thinks its unethical because he works at a for-profit hospital. And Harry Reid can’t stand him, either.

Obama and Biden voted for it before they voted for it.

It would appear that Senators Obama and Biden “voted” for the “nowhere” bridge funding a second time — by not supporting a proposal by Senator Coburn that the earmarked bridge funds be used for Katrina relief. To paraphrase Little Bonaparte in “Some Like It Hot”, “you mean you voted for the bridge to nowhere, TWICE!!”

It’s true that the left doesn’t get it, and they may never get it. Even some on the right don’t get it. Boiled down, what’s happening is that Sarah Palin is putting everyone on the TV side of the camera to shame, and is a source of pride to the people on the viewing side. She was a nuclear bomb that went off, and the fallout isn’t even close to being finsihed.

Jay:

Obama and Biden both voted for the Bridge, McCain did not. And when all that happened in Alaska, no one questioned the fact that Palin killed the bridge. It was not debated until she became McCain’s running mate. After that the left felt the need to revise and rewrite history.

In a delayed reaction, Obama had me thinking about something that I hadn’t thought about for years. It was that statement of his, where he said he had considered joining the military but didn’t because there was no war going on at the time. True there was no war then, but there certainly was something going on at a national level that was riling the country up…the hostage crisis…perpetuated by that “tiny problem” country called Iran. I wouldn’t be surprised if enlistments during that period were much higher than what had been the norm prior to the hostage takeover.

The most amazing political flip I’ve seen in my lifetime is how you almost never hear liberals saying they are going to raise taxes. Sometimes they even say they will cut them, but rearly raise them.

Before Reagan they argued for raising taxes to make “infrastructure investments” as a way to “jump start the economy”.

Now, it amounts to political suicide. Reagan did that.
