(Community Matters) Will someone please help me understand why so many good, honorable people who identify more with the Republican Party than with independents or Democrats aren’t as outraged by misleading statements and lies as I am? Of course, those in the news just now and which I’ll cite in a minute are from the campaign. But, it’s a continuation of Bush/Cheney statements about weapons of mass destruction, about wiretapping or not wiretapping, about politicizing the DOJ while saying we’re not politicizing the DOJ.
The two most recent comments are Palin’s. She said “and when the deal was struck, we began a nearly $40 billion natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence. That pipeline, when the last section is laid and its valves are opened, will lead . . .” So, the problem is, NOT ONE section of pipe has been laid. The pipeline hasn’t received even federal approval. It may never get built. Second, the bridge to nowhere. Palin’s comments that she told the federal government no thanks. Come on, we’ve now all read that she did so only after first embracing, defending, even campaigning on the bridge. So, I don’t get this. Why no similar outrage from those who support McCain or Palin. Or is there outrage but its drowned out by others?
