It turns out that, contrary to what Democrats are saying–to the point of accusing the Republican ticket of lying–Sarah Palin DID kill the Bridge to Nowhere. Here is the whole story.

Yes, she once supported it. But so what, if she was willing to change her mind? Yes, she used the money for something else, but these were federal highway funds that all states get and are dependent on. Yes, she built a bridge to Wasilla, Alaska’s fifth largest city, but so what? It isn’t wrong to build bridges that go somewhere, that are needed. But did she kill the Bridge to Nowhere? Yes, she did.

Furthermore, contrary to Democratic charges that the Republicans are “lying,” Barack Obama DID push a bill mandating comprehensive sex education for kindergartners. It wasn’t just to teach children to report sexual abuse. The bill mandated specifically that kindergarten children be taught about AIDS.
