The eBay Myth

Okay I give, what is the difference between a "myth" and a lie?

It can't be lipstick.

Smooth Sarah, and the magic plane.

Why are stupid people saying she lied , see said only that she didn't think the Governor needed a jet and put it on Ebay, which is all true. In a national speech she should have went into the fine detail and said well a didn't get bids so through word of mouth from my staff we sold it privately and then count the pilot, fuel and maintenance costs she saved anally plus the jet itself and she if it was a profit. The big story is she said she put it on Ebay (true) and McCain said she sold it on Ebay (not true)sold it privately.

How can you sell a jet at a profit, who would pay for a 2 year old jet the original price, and let's not add the fuel, pilot, and maintenance costs which anally would be another couple of hundred thousand a year, just ask P.Diddy. Next time she tells the story she can go on to every detail, how she put it on Ebay and after a couple of months it didn't sell so then through word of mouth ........ would that make the fine (unbiased, saw this story yesterday on Huff.) media happy. She recouped 90% of the plane's cost for the tax payers and the maintenance and fuel costs, what a bad bad person.

The real Bridge to Nowhere goes from Palin's mouth to the truth. She's told so many lies and half-truths that it's appalling. Palin would not last 5 minutes in a Q&A with Tim Russert.

What they don't mention is that she had to blow the guy from Valdez to get him to buy the plane. Talk about a dedicated public servant. And it's not like the Governor of Alaska would ever need a plane, since there are no vast distances to cover there.

Sometimes selling airplanes or boats at a loss is better than keeping them and feeding them (and paying for their maintanance and pilots)

My God, what a woman! Obama would have added this to the jet he already has (the one he painted over the American flag on it's tail before the world tour and added his "O" logos for $500,000)...and to let go of the cook and housekeeper in the Governors mansion! With 5 kids and what must be a terrific husband! I can tell you, I wouldn't have done that, but she really must be a reformer and straight talker. I love McCain's pick and it's his first Executive decision and millions of us approve!
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN/PALIN

Don't forget the other "bridge to Nowhere' that is proposed from Anchorage to near Point McKenzie, (near Wasilla). It is more expensive, and about as worthless as the one in Ketchikan. The Dept of Transportation continues to spend $ orignally earmarked for it, but like the Gravina Island bridge was never returned.

"Palin supported the bridge to nowhere.
Palin raised taxes.
Palin hired a lobbyist for her town.
Palin put her town of 7,000 in $26 million dollars of debt."

And she was elected Governor with over 80% approval rating.

The un-biased media myth.

She'll be out before the debates. It's one lie after another with this woman and McCain will be persuaded he can't carry her baggage. The only reasons she's still on the ticket are McCain's infatuation and the big bucks flowing in from the religious right.

I recommend putting Al Gore and Obamas jets on E-Bay. It would be good for the enviornment.

Palins another crooked republican who just knows how to massage some good p.r for herself.

So many conflicting storys

Sell the plane, push to get federal highway funds, then say you don't want the highway funds, say your for small govt, then run up deficits in both Wasilla and the state budgets,

Sarah "I soold it on eeebbay" Palin is wrong for the job. Did she sell her integrity on ebay too? I don't think she has told the truth yet.

Palin raised taxes.
Palin hired a lobbyist for her town.
Palin put her town of 7,000 in $26 million dollars of debt.

Obama and Biden appropriated the funds for a bridge to "nowhere"(Which Palin objected to the reference to an Alaska town as nowhere".

A time-honored Bush/Cheney tactic: repeat a lie often enough until enough people believe it to be true! So much for "change!"

She wasn't in labor when she boarded the plane. She was leaking amniotic fluid. But as most women know, doctors advise women not to travel in their last few months of pregnancy because it can induce labor. So, I think flying in the first place was foolish and shows a lack of judgement. Not to mention not telling her family the baby had downs. Her older children were surprised at the hospital.From an interveiw in the current People magazine.

Oh, puh-leeze. She got rid of the plane. It seems the left would be impressed that she therefore wasn't wasting the fuel it would take to run it, but nooooooo.

But, Barack Obama has yet to repudiate the man who launched Obama's career in his own home, who happens to also be an unrepentant self-declared terrorist.

Good luck reading about anything to do with Barack Obama's inexorable disingenuousness here.

bearsr154, her pitch isn't just that she 'said no' to the bridge to nowhere (which isn't technically true either), but that 'she told congress thanks, but no thanks' (which is a bald-faced lie).

She's trying to sound tough like she stood up to congress or something, but she has to lie to do it.
