Neither should any politician charge their state or country for taking their families with them on their trips, but they do! They all do, including the president, and yet it seems that Sarah Palin is the only one who has to reimburse her state! Nobody ever files any complaints against any of the rest for this, at least none that we hear about! That seems unfair and a little one sided to me!

Eventually, EVERYTHING comes out in the wash. Whether it is bleach or detergent to be used, the dirt will always come to the surface. I love Sarah and her family, even though she may not be 'seeing clearly' on a few things. But thats OK. At least she is not a coward, and she always TRIES to do the right thing. Don't you Sarah?

How can you tell when a politician is lying?

Their lips are moving.

There are still major questions about the Palins' home in Wasilla. Was it built for free by the contractors who got the sports center job? Graft appears to be rampant in Alaska.

She has to take her daughters with her on trips--when she leaves them at home they get pregnant.

Just curious - did Obama reimburse the US Gov. for the family trip a couple of weeks ago to Paris & London? They took both 747s so that Obama could come back separately by himself while the rest of the family (including mom in law) could go sightseeing.

I thought the amount owed was more than $10,000. Did they say some trips were okay?

The Question is "why did she charge her chldrens tickets to the state of Alaska to begin with?". The lady got plenty of money in her bank account,but its pretty obvious that she tried to charge the state and was hoping noone would notice. unfortnately Sarah, someone with ethical values noticed and made you cough up the money which you shouldn't have taken out and robbed the state from in the first place. There's really no reason for this article as she didn't do anything spectacular. She just paid back money to Alaska that she stole. It's a good thing she isn't in the whitehouse because we wouldn't want to find out how much she would've hid underneath her blouse. She is a typical republican who doesn't want to save people money, but instead collect, steal, and create more problems for the citizens of america.
