As we now know, Sarah Palin participated in the building of the "Road to Nowhere". According to her Alaskan assistant, the earmark was to be used ONLY for this road, that the contract for the road was initiated under the previous governor, and that since the contract was signed, there was nothing she could do.

If she is, falsely, taking credit for saying "Thanks, but no thanks" to the Bridge to Nowhere, and it preceded the Road to Nowhere, why was she silent on this?

All contracts can be stopped; its done all the time, and governments have good success in this. There may be a cost to stopping a contract, but it wouldn't have been the full cost of the contract.

She could have stopped this wasteful spending, but simply chose not to do so. She chose to allow the taxpayers to spend an earmark on a useless project. Her record on getting the government on the right track is clearly questionable. Do you think her policies will change if she becomes VP, or worse President?
