Palin contradictions...

[4dmin]

Isn't that still pretty much saying no? And besides what's the difference between that and Obama saying "I'm going to put the countries national security at risk by pulling out of Iraq before we finish the job" and then him saying "Oh wait scratch that since I don't really have a clue on foreign policy I asked someone and they told me it's not a good idea to pull out just yet so I think I'm gonna wait" .

first off if your going to " " use actual statements... and you are incorrect to begin with. he seeks a timeline to with drawl troops and if you were keeping up w/ currents events Bush announced yesterday he is starting to do that w/ 8k before the end of the year.

furthermore she didn't say NO, she ran on the policy in 2006 and even questioned about it she said she would not step on infrastructure changes... later after idea was being opposed she changed her tune and then kept the money which was 320 million. then you see her on tv spouting on how "she told the gov't no thank you; if they wanted to build a bridge they would do it THEMSELVES"... really? then why keep the money

You missed the entire point of my post Paul. I am keeping up with the current events I'm simply using one of his statements as an example of how hypocritical you sound. It's was ok for Obama to step into the ring demanding immediate troop withdrawl with disregard to whether or not the job was done and then change his tune but it's not ok for Palin to do the same?

I don't remember if it was you or not that sat here and preached about how oh Obama changes his tune because "new information" comes to light but yet Palin supports something and changes her mind about something and it's a contradiction? Dude if you want to see contradictions look at your own canidate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHEIi4XKRmM

Admin's point is that even though Palin has been claiming that she told the Gov't "no thank you" and made it sound like she was trying to be independent of taking Gov't money... she still kept the money. So even though the bridge was not built, Palin still got 320 million of federal money.

ALSO, Obama's opposition to the surge was that he wanted the Iraqui's to take over. Yeah, the surge has reduced violence, but now we have a whole lot more troops over there and the Iraqis still haven't taken over and have no accountability for the state of their own country. It just makes Iraq more dependent on us.

Edit: and as far as Barack "changing his tune," now that the surge is happening, the game is changed. If he becomes president he will inherit the surge. So it makes sense to adapt the policies he proposes to match the things that will be going on when he gets into office. Being stubborn and having a "stay the course" mindset is what got us into all this in the 1st place.

Ok and what did she do with the money? I'd be curious to see what happened to it because I'm sure it still ended up going to something useful. I still see no difference between that and Obama changing his tune. If anything it's worse she wants to be Vice President and He wants to be PRESIDENT.

Did you even watch the first minute of that video?The reason he didn't support the surge is he thought it would increase violence in Iraq no where did he say anything about not supporting it to make Iraq accountable for themselves.

Also it can be argued that not having a stay the course mentality and finish the job is what got this whole mess started almost 40 years ago.
