18 months as governor, found to have violated ethics, and now another? Is this what you want?
"Palin faces new ethics complaint over kids' travel Print By RACHEL D'ORO, Associated Press Writer Rachel D'oro, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 18 mins ago ANCHORAGE, Alaska – A new ethics complaint has been filed against Sarah Palin, accusing the Alaska governor of abusing her power by charging the state when her children traveled with her. The complaint alleges that the Republican vice presidential nominee used her official position as governor for personal gain, violating a statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. It follows a report by The Associated Press last week that Palin charged the state more than $21,000 for her three daughters' commercial flights, including events where they weren't invited, and later ordered their expense forms amended to specify official state business. In some cases, Palin also has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls. The complaint released Wednesday says Palin charged the travel costs for events her children were not invited to and where they served in no legitimate state purpose or business. Administration officials have said Alaska law allows governors to charge the state for their family's travel if they conduct state business. "Governor Palin intentionally secured unwarranted benefits for family members, improperly used state property to benefit her personal and financial interests, and illegally altered documents that were the subject of a Public Records request," the complaint states. Earlier this month, a legislative report found Palin violated state ethics laws when she fired her public safety commissioner. The state's Personnel Board also has hired an independent counsel for a similar investigation. "and illegally altered documents that were the subject of a Public Records request," the complaint states." This lady is a walking ethics violation. We have seen enough from Bush. She thinks she is above the law! It is sad that we even consider these type of people with no morals, who is now looking to 2012 and has been called a "Diva" and "rogue" by her own campaign, who also says she isn't qualified to be president! Palin was not even endorsed by her own newspaper! Obama was! Pathetic!

Don't worry. Everyone who is educated understands what a ridiculous human being Sarah Palin is. The election is over in less than a week, and she will go back to being a terrible mother in Alaska.

WOW! This is soooo much more important to Obama's shady past....go ahead and vote for Obama and I will be right here struggling, but laughing at you for being so concerned over such ridiculous, mundane, and material things. Obama is so pure....he is the "Messiah" that is going to mend all your wrongs....sorry, I forgot for a minute. Haven't you ever heard the term that if it "sounds too good to be true, then it probably is?" Obama has more skeletons in his closet and if he gets elected, they will probably be proven true.
