But is that allegation true?

Yes.

For someone who is not a member, she has certainly been a presence at their conventions, etc.

I think something like this would be more appropriate for Palin:

Okay, kids, you can talk to your parents!

Palin is proof of a human walking with a dinosaur.




Thank you, folks! I'll be here all week. Enjoy the King Crab legs at the buffet!

Alaskan King crab legs?

Well, it appears that little Miss Fiscal Conservative has been billing the state for her kid's travel expenses and bringing them to events they were not invited to. She claims they were working.

Palin's Family Values.

It is admirable that she wants her family with her, but I don't think the state hired her kids to work- aren't most of them underage?

From what I've seen she turns things to her favor.

Interesting conversation with my drawing instructor last night.

She's an artist so as you might expect she's got a pretty socially liberal attitude. But I've generally suspected she leans conservative in that, "I'm used to old white people running the country" sort of way. Statements like, "I've never been a fan of Dali, he's just too weird," are what have lead me to that conclusion.

As I was leaving my lesson last night she sighed and said, "I can't wait for this election to be over." I took the bait, gave a commiserating sigh and mumble back. Then she said, "You know, McCain keeps shooting himself in the foot," with a disappointed note in her voice. Not sure what I was about to get myself into I replied, "Well, I can't say I'm too upset about that."

Her response was, "Well, I'm voting for Obama." She went on to say that she thinks McCain's a great guy, and a hero, and that the problem with his campaign has been that he's been getting bad advice. BUT, he's been taking that advice, which has made her think he's just wouldn't be able to handle the Presidency. "We don't need another Bush," she said. And what a great point. Beyond anything, Bush's presidency has been characterized by surrounding himself with people who have encouraged him to do wrong things, and then taking that encouragement. That, more than anything else, is what links McCain to Bush after this candidacy, and that's why he's losing this election.
