re: But you want someone else to do the work
Here is the timeline for the bridge to nowhere showing why the Democrats were praising her in the first place.
With Democrats mischaracterizing Governor Palin’s role in the “Bridge to Nowhere,†here is what you need to know: as governor of Alaska, Gov. Palin consistently opposed the bridge, and finally killed the project in September of 2007. Below is a complete narrative of the story, as well as a timeline of key dates.
Long before Sarah Palin became governor of Alaska, Congress had already appropriated the federal funding for the Ketchikan Bridge. While running for office, Palin said she would not stand in the way of infrastructure, but after her election, Palin took immediate action to stop the project. In her first budget, less than one month after becoming governor, Palin included no funds for the bridge project, saying that the state needed to make “wise, sensible choices.â€
BTW,Looks like you had it wrong on your speculation Robert.
