Josh Marshall begs to differ!
Her state gets more earmarks than any other state in the country.
To give you some perspective, Palin herself requested at least ten times the dollar value of earmarks as most states get total every year.
The AP added "When pressed about Palin's record of requesting and accepting such money for Alaska, McCain ignored the record and said: "Not as governor she didn't."
How much did she request?
From ADN.com:
Palin requested $197 million this year and $256 million last year. Per capital, that's $288 this year and $376 last year.
The news debunks what McCain said. So, why does John McCain lie the way he does? Why does George Bush lie? It is simple really. They are talking to the religious people of their party. They are followers. The clergy tells them what they want to know about politics and religion and they never question anything! Why should they? The clergy are suppose to speak to them from God. Surely God would never lie to them about anything John McCain says! It is faith based. They are too trusting! Sadly there are a large portion of people that will believe Johns lies!
On the other hand, what if John isn't lying? What do I mean by that question? What if he believes what he said on the view? Then that should make you even more concerned! When he believes the spin given to him, without question, he is either not in control of his own campaign or even worse he is incompetent and will say anything to get elected.
