Bridge to Nowhere a lie!

In all of the fancy new commercials that McCain and Palin have out you can usually hear how she "stopped the bridge to nowhere"! Wow, what a slogan, right, if she can stop the bridge to nowhere she must be able to do anything, or at least that's what they want you to think. But it should really upset everyone when they give you snid-bits of stories without a hint of truth. A truth that would make the slogan obsolete and idiotic. 

The fact is, that Palin did not stop any bridge. The bridge in question was a $400 million project that was suppose to run from Ketchikan to an island with only 50 residents and an airport. Palin was all for the bridge until she realized it was an embarrassment to her state after federal funding was pulled. So instead she used the bridge money elsewhere, completely flip-flopping her story as she told congress "thanks, but no thanks for the bridge to no where. " Palin abandoned the project and abandoned her fellow Alaskans who thought she was in this fight along side them.
