A Guide to Palin’s Earmark Requests

David Nather, staff writer for CQ Politics, has kindly provided a resource for Americans who want to find out for ourselves what the real scoop is on Gov. Palin and the pork barrel politics she claims to oppose.

Meanwhile... Gov. Palin struggles to explain WHY she is qualified to be a 72 year old heartbeat away from the Oval Office. Proclaiming "I'm ready" doesn't mean that she is. After all, many of the mentally ill or down-and-out addicts/alcoholics living on the streets of America would just as confidently proclaim themselves ready too.

Seems to me that voters have an obligation at the very least to ourselves to determine whether such proclamations are meritorious or vacuous.

If the apparent disconnect between Palin's claims about pork barrel politics and her own record of engaging in the same is any indication of the veracity of her other qualifying claims then I think that American voters have good reason to be skeptical.
