ace... I dont how we got from earmarks to higher ed aid.
Back to "Let's not let facts get in the way of a good story or empty political rhetoric. Please carry on."
I will carry on as requested.
Do you think these "facts" should get in the way: McCain speaking in Virginia yesterday, with Palin at his side: “We’re never going to spend $3 million again to study the DNA of bears in Montana.”
White sitting at a desk somewhere in Congress are the dozens of FY 09 earmark requests from Palin's administration, including: a request for $3.2 million from the Alaska Dept of Fish and Game for "monitoring ice seal population....research on genetics of harbour seals..."
Earmarks requested by the State of Alaska (pdf...the source doc from the State of Alaska website)
...or might it reasonably be viewed by some as "empty political rhetoric" on the part of McCain.
