The real question is what rock did YOU crawl out from? How do you people justify this type of attack? Exactly what has Palin done, either personally or politically, to warrant such ignorant comments?
The travel expenses were investigated and it was concluded there was no wrongdoing. Making matters worse for the Palin attack dogs is that, despite the ruling, she still paid back those expenses that were deemed ‘questionable’. When has a politician ever done that before? We already know the problem is rampant in Washington. Are you prepared to demand that all politicians, at every level, be investigated for abuse of power for using taxpayer money for personal travel? …yeah, I didn’t think so.
