McSame opposes Palin -- the confusion continues

According to the LA Times:

"For much of his long career in Washington, John McCain has been throwing darts at the special spending system known as earmarking, through which powerful members of Congress can deliver federal cash for pet projects back home with little or no public scrutiny. He's even gone so far as to publish "pork lists" detailing these financial favors.

Three times in recent years, McCain's catalogs of "objectionable" spending have included earmarks for this small Alaska town, requested by its mayor at the time -- Sarah Palin.

Now, McCain, the likely Republican presidential nominee, has chosen Palin as his running mate, touting her as a reformer just like him...."

Now wait for it: A McSame spokesperson says Palin was "disgusted" that small towns like hers were dependent on earmarks. That will come as a major surprise to mayors and town managers across Massachusetts. Nor does it explain why she hired a lobbyist to pick up more funds.
