We occasionally read a letter to the editor by an ordinary citizen that encapsulates the views of many, so we reprint Don E. Walston’s letter to the editor of the TC Palm.“Sometimes letter writers lie as well. Gov. Sarah Palin did not say she sold the state jet on e-Bay. She said, “That luxury jet was over the top; I put it on e-Bay.” It was sold at a loss by a jet broker, after no offers on e-Bay. Don’t lie about it.
“She is also taking hits about the “bridge to nowhere.” Gov. Palin originally supported the earmark spending on the Ketchikan bridge (to nowhere). She eventually killed the project, choosing to spend the federal money on other infrastructure programs.
“Sens. Joe Biden and Barack Obama voted for funding the “bridge to nowhere,” even when given a second chance by Sen. Tom Coburn, who proposed shifting earmark funds to Katrina relief.
“Sen. John McCain did not vote on the Coburn amendment, though he is on record as opposing the bridge.
“I’m tired of hearing how Gov. Palin is not qualified and only a heartbeat away from being president. Consider this, Nancy Pelosi is only two heartbeats away; now that’s scary. I can’t think of a better reason to prevent a president and vice president from riding on the same airplane.
“If your man Obama is so qualified and “in touch,” why isn’t Hillary Clinton on his ticket?"
--Don E. Walston, Fort Pierce, FL
