I fail to see anything too sinister in Sarah Palin's charging the government for these trips. There may be missing information. Did she go to church in conjunction with a legitimate business trip? Meeting Franklin Graham and other religious people of his standing may be very beneficial for Alaska. Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse and other Christian ministries do great work with disadvantaged people. Would you object if she was meeting with Jesse Jackson? How about the Reverend Al Sharpton? They are Christian leaders and I am sure that the govenment officials who meet with them charge the taxpayers for their expenses.

As far as I can tell, Sarah Palin's relationships are above board. She does not seem to spend a lot of time with the likes of Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, or William Ayers.
AcidTongue2X4-46, I think you are really insensitive considering the fact that Trigg has Downs Syndrome. He is not likely to be taking trigonometry. From the content of your post, I would deduce that you are not exactly the caliber of Einstein yourself.-

First of all, considering her political stands and her fiery, racist rhetoric about Obama, it would be almost impossible for her to want to meet w/ Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.

Secondly, if Obama travelled at taxpayer's expense to see Jackson and Sharpton, would you object?-

Don't you know the difference between a governor (who travels at taxpayer expense) and a candidate? Exactly WHEN was Obama the governor of Illinois?
To answer your question, if Obama visits Sharpton, he will continue to receive Secret Service protection, which for all candidates and their wives, cost taxpayers $106.6 million, according to Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan.

I agree this this is extremely insensitive and definitely not necessary! However, I negged you for the statements that preceded this one.-

I think Palin was insensitive naming him that.
'trig' is also an adjective, meaning clever and precise
Like nicknaming a 'weight-challenged' person 'tiny' or 'slim'
cool name tho-

they have these handy things called dictionaries...I'm not surprised Palin was unaware of the meaning on her son's name-IN ENGLISH-the language she speaks

would you find naming a kid born without a right hand [like the famous pitcher Jim Abbott] 'Handy' ironic and clever, or just cruel and in bad taste?
It's not the kids fault he's not trig
still a cool name tho
*everything you never wanted to know about the name 'Trigg'
