There have been some misinformation about her--but there has been far more provided by Palin and John McCain than there has been opponents to Palin's VP nominaion. Palin has lied nonstop since McCain introduced her as his VP pick, so if you want to get upset about misinformation, look to Sarah Palin.
It has not been proven that Palin was an AIP member. It has been documented that she is affiliated with the program, her husband has been a member, and she has endorsed the organization by her speaking at ther 2008 convention. Since the AIP is a seccessionist group, this is a distinctly un-American stance. I would NEVER affiliate myself with a seccesionist group, and certainly would not speak at their conventions, would you? She hasn't just "on occasion" tried to get federal money. She is a pork-barrel 'ho. In fact, John McCain has in the past specifically criticized the earmarks for Alaska. Her own videotaped speech before her church indicates that she belives that the Iraq War is God's will and God's plan. There is no telling who Bristol had sex with to become pregnant. All you have is Sarah Palin's word for it and, of course, she is a continual liar. She was not vetted. Any attempts to claim so are lies. She turned down the money for the bridge only when it became very unpopular. She then used at least part of the money to pay for lobbyists to get--you guessed it!--pork-barrel earmarks. Palin's speech was written by a speechwriter. Obama writes his own speeches. I can't say for Bidens, but his speeches certainly echo his own fiery personality, so I would think he had considerable input into the process. Sarah Palin wore a Pat Buchanan campaign button. People who wear campaign buttons usually indicate they support the candidate. We the evidence of her wearing his button and Buchnan's statements that she was a supporter against---Sarah Palin's word. We all know her word has as much worth as toiletpaper at the bottom of an outhouse. She and her staff most certainly tried to get he ex-BIL fired and then fired his boss. This is what she is being investigated for. There is extensive evidence to support this. Now, what do you have to say about her charging the state of Alaska per-diem charges for living in her own house? How supportive of women is she, really, when, as mayor, her appointed police chief charged rape victims for the rape evidence collection kits? ------ On Sep 9, 6:14 am, mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here are some of the debunked rumours: > > 1.
