Wrong. Rewatch the speech. She said "sold" it on eBay. Only later did she "fix" the phrase to "put" it on eBay. Why does she bother highlighting a failure though? It didn't sell. She resorted to "giving it away" to some crony at a steep discount. Why does McCain continue to say she made a profit on the sale? Can't he get the facts straight or does he not care?
When funds are allocated for a specific project (the Bridge to Nowhere) and that project is stopped, isn't it ethical to return those funds? Or did she just scribble out the name "Bridge to Nowhere" on the $260million check and write in "Election Funds"
The point is an "earmark maverick" as she and McCain claim to be would've returned the money. She kept it. WRONG!She also said "To the parents of special needs ********, you have a friend in the oval office." When, in fact, she cut special needs healthcare funding in Alaska by $5mil?
Some friend. The Republican base knows nothing or cares nothing about her beliefs or accomplishments. All they see is "a beautiful, hometown girl" who makes them feel good. It is the political equivalent of Paris Hilton being the Veep.
