Wow some reformer. Now she is changing records to claim that the money the citizens of Alaska paid for her kids to travel was official business. This includes a trip to watch Todd in a snowmobile competition. This was not illegal but certainly doesn't reflect her claims to be a reformer and fiscal watchdog. Alaska Funded Palin Kids' Travel
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.
The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.
In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls.
Voters who are still on the fence read and evaluate for yourself and don't let us be the ones to interpret for you. You are smart enough to decide for yourself if it is ok or not.
Oh get the hell over it.
If that's the best you can do you obviously are grasping at straws b/c you won't acknowledge Barry's ties to terrorists and BS groups like ACORN.
Is all the money given to Barry JUST for Barry? Why is his wife (who the heck is Michelle Obama other than someone who has never been proud of the county she lives in and sucks the $$ out of?) travelling around the country and running her mouth at the cost of donation dollars? I don't want to see his wife or his kids...but the DONATIONS never officially designated for Michelle or the kids are paying for their travel and hotels..or aren't they?
Is/was Alaska complaining? Or are YOU and the rest of the Barry huggers complaining?
Prove that she changed "records".
This is how low you need to go and how scared you are that Palin is in the mix?
It happens ALL the time. Go investigate the powers that be who run every state and see what they "get away with". Start with Barry in Illinois.
Pathetic!
What the hockey puck do you expect from a woman who doesn't even know what the VP's role is.
Has South Park done an episode on her yet????
No, still waiting for Joe Biden to explain the international incident that will happen when Barry is elected to "test" the 47 year old POTUS (should the moron be elected). Speaks volumes when your VP thinks you suck and have no experience. 100 days in congress...good one!
And then we need to find out who, exactly, are Bosniacs?
And if you don't know what I'm talking about...get your head out of the sand and and inform yourself before you press that button for Bosniac Joe and I endorse Ayers Pin Head Barry.

You know, there are some really big morons on this site. But still ...
People give money to the campaigns. The campaigns hire lots and lots and lots of people. They do things like pay for staffers to travel in support of the campaign. If Michelle travels to Virginia to give a speech, the campaign pays for it.
This is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen posted here, and that's saying something.

Love it when idiots call other people "Idiot!" It's so cute.

We're not talking about the $150Gs the GOP put out for the Palin's wardrobe. This is about Gov Palin stealing money from her constituents by falsifying expense reports. Here are a few legitimate media reports about the issue, not info from 'blogs' that repugs are so fond of.

We don't know if Alaska was complaining. In any event, it's unethical, whether it bothered the state of Alaska or not.
But some organizers of these events said they were surprised when the Palin children showed up uninvited, or said they agreed to a request by the governor to allow the children to attend.
On Aug. 6, three weeks before Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain chose Palin his running mate, and after Alaska reporters asked for the records, Palin ordered changes to previously filed expense reports for her daughters' travel.
Plus more. Heck, this was in my local paper. I read it this morning. I knew she altered records.
