Sarah palin is like an onion. The more you peel it, the smellier it gets. EVERYTHING has been hypocritical in this race.

Lie) "I Told congress, thanks, but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere (to thunderous applause)

Fact) It is now a matter of public record that she supported the bridge only until it became an embarrassment for her and her state.

Lie Palin: "That private jet?, I sold it on Ebay"

Lie McCain: "She even made a profit"

Fact: The plane was put on ebay but did not sell. It was sold to a private bidder for a NET LOSS.

Lie: "I'm a hockey mom, im just like you"

Fact: She spends $150 per day on Makeup, and over $3,000 per day on clothes from Saks 5th Avenue, Neiman Marcus, etc.
