Sarah Palin can bandy about rhetoric on her supposed fiscal discretion all she wants, but that won’t alter the discovery that she spent thousands of her constituents’ tax dollars— so that she could hang at home. At the GOP convention last week, Palin charmed the pants off of Americans, claiming, “I got rid of a few things in the governor’s office that I didn’t believe our citizens should have to pay for.” Well evidently, Palin felt that citizens should have to pay for her to stay at home for over 300 evenings, since she charged many of those evenings to the state for “lodging” expenses.
According to the Washington Post:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has billed taxpayers for 312 nights spent in her own home during her first 19 months in office, charging a "per diem" allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business…
She wrote some form of "Lodging -- own residence" or "Lodging -- Wasilla residence" more than 30 times at the same time she took a per diem, according to the reports. In two dozen undated amendments to the reports, the governor deleted the reference to staying in her home but still charged the per diem.
While she’s at it, Palin might as well try charging the state for lodging expenses when she goes to church; it is the house of God after all. Then again, perhaps it would be savvier for Palin to divert some attention from her controversial Pentecostal upbringing and her recent attendance at the Wasilla Bible Church on August 17 when David Brickner proclaimed “"Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. When a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment -- you can't miss it."
This June, Palin spoke at her former church, the Assembly of God, and told them, “I think God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas pipeline built… I can do my job there is developing my natural resources, but all of that doesn’t do any good if the people of Alaska’s heart is not good with God.” One can only wonder how Palin was able to determine that God willed a gas pipeline built. Did he speak to her in a vision? Were there were heaven-sent signs? Did the Lord confer with her via e-mail?
Oh wait, now I understand! God must have willed Palin to screw taxpayers over.

If you're going to go there, you might as well throw in some information on how much we've paid for Biden to take the Amtrak back and forth to Delaware every day FOR 35 YEARS?
And by the way, on the subject of the whole "pipeline prayer" thing, she was asking (not demanding or ordering) graduates of a Master's Commission program (kind of like Mormon missionaries?) to help her out by praying for the good of Alaska. She knows her audiences, and the "no good if heart's not right with God" is her being motivational, illustrating the Masters potential impact for good. It's what you do at graduation ceremonies. (Plus, maybe the pipeline efforts weren't going so well at the time, and she was asking for a little help from the being upstairs?) As far as I know, no one has any tapes of her claiming to be a vessel for his holy word (even though that's what she was likely brought up to believe). And if we had some stories of her trying to beat down the Alaska senate with the Will of God we'd have probably seen it by now.
Yeah, this is really some shocking, damaging stuff. Sheesh. I hope Tracy's not a journalism major, or (shudder) pre-law. Google should never have shown me this. Bad google. Posted 09/10/2008 12:42 AMReply
I gather no one has ever read a blog or online publication and thus typos disproof actual critical points.
Palin's falsification on the per diem documents are illegal bilking of money. Okay, possibly a minor mistake, but still a bad sign in her under 2 years as a public official (no mayor of a city, populace smaller than a block of Chicago, does not count). Another bad sign might be her firing someone for not firing her ex-brother-in-law. Another might be having someone fired for shooting a moose that she ate the meat from, while she destroys the wildlife at a record pace in Alaska. Another might be her supporting more drilling in Alaska and, yes, citing the need to ask for God's support. Another might be her vetoing Sex Ed funding while her high school teenager has at least one child (assuming the enormous felony question about the current baby are unfounded).
The most simple fact is she has practically no experience, an impressive number of questionable actions in under 2 years, and is a reactionary conservative who has stated absolute intention to outlaw abortion even in cases of rape and incest--the Court is at best one judge away from this change.
