Comments on: Well, Sarah Palin Just Lost *My* Vote… http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2008/10/12/well-sarah-palin-just-lost-my-vote/ by Hemant Mehta Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:39:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Miko http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2008/10/12/well-sarah-palin-just-lost-my-vote/#comment-233635 Miko Sun, 12 Oct 2008 15:52:25 +0000 http://friendlyatheist.com/?p=5096#comment-233635 "Your job is going be to be out there, reaching the people - (the) hurting people" Are we sure that the "the" should be added there? Maybe "hurting" wasn't intended as an adjective (describing "people") but in its more standard role as gerund (describing "your job"). “Your job is going be to be out there, reaching the people – (the) hurting people”

I could see that, but for her to bill the state for personal trips to see ministers? That jumps the fence and crosses the line.

What the f%&@ is the point of ethics laws if they have no bearing on ethics?! I don’t understand how one report can say that she violated ethics laws, but that her actions were not unethical.

I'd like to know more. Specifically, I'd to know if this report might be slanted so as to make things look worse than they are. Don't misunderstand me. Palin is the reason I won't be voting for McCain. Still, the kind of captiousness she had been subjected to irks me. There are those out there who drool like Pavlov's dog anytime there's so much as a rumor that she might have taken a misstep. First I’ve heard of this. I’d like to know more.

I also have no problem with spending money on a visit from the Pope or the Dalai Lama. Franklin Graham is a bit of a stretch, though.
