Why should they have to pay anything towards that "Sarah Palin's Alaska". This is a poor State, her own State and she still takes it from them. Palin didn't have to take anything out of their pockets. What a crook she even takes from her own State.

I agree, but I also have to acknowledge the dilemma posed by digging up dirt on democrats. Democrat voters WILL vote for dirty Democrat politicians. That's what makes it hard to hold them accountable. Because all the news outlets can do is publish the story. It is the people who would vote for them that have to hold them accountable. And since their side doesn't hold any particular standards for pols beyond their stance of certain issues, Dem corruption stories don't really make the same splash that Republican stories do.
