So remove that, then complain because she went to meeting with her kids that cost 20k on Alaska Air or whatever she flew. It doesn't make any sense...
Thats good she got rid of one bill of expense. But she makes another for the tax payer. If she wanted her family with her she should pay for there stay and flight herself.

As I stated, this is going on all the time. Every politician does this. You want to complain do it across the board....singling out one person for doing something everyone of them does is hypocritical, seems as if you condone one doing it but not the other.
Some do it to varying degrees some less, some more, but they all do it. Here is an analogy that may make some sense. Politicians are dogs. Their spending of our tax dollars is the equivalent to them leaving a nice size loaf in the house. I will still take the dog that does it on the tile all the time instead of the carpeted baby's play room repeatedly....when choosing between these two types of dogs.

What's really funny about this is that she tries to protray the image of the working class while calling out Obama as the elitest when in fact, she's nothing like the "Walmart Mom's" and has much more in common with Rodeo Drive moms

Imagine if she did decide to wear cloths from Walmart and let the people know that, I bet it would have really helped their campaign and could have swayed many more votes. That said, I doubt an elitest like Cindy McCain would ever allow herself to be seen with anyone in less then a $1000 dollar outfit. It just goes to show the disconnected the GOP is with the average American.
Side note, is it legal or even ethical to use campaign funds to go on lavish shopping sprees?

Palin just happen to be the one today that caught my attention. As for other threads I said too politicians are ###%&!.An as for Palin I thought we might have some one that wasn't one of them.

Well if think its ok for her just to spend 20k of tax payers $ on her family. Lets be fair and pay for the spouses and let them go to Iraq and see there loved ones thats been over there for months on end.

Yes, but us paying for Palin's shoes didn't lead to an economic "crisis" or failure of large companies...
Palin is not the only person who has done this. Is it wrong? Maybe, but are you in a pinch because of it?

She's using donated money from the campaign contribution. Chill out.
I'm pretty sure if Palin wore a $100 dress, the liberal news would still find a way to attack her: "Palin wears trashy dress, doesn't take the campaign seriously".

This is just silly, you are upset because she is using public funds to travel to official events with some of her family.
And the reason she is using public funds is because she sold the state jet where her family could have just "hopped on."

She used public funds for more then just the plane ride to and from for her kids. I think it's great she wanted to take her kids with her but she should have used her own money--it's not like they couldn't afford it.
