Frankly, she sounds like a typical Republican. One gets tired of her shenanigans, you wish she'd just go away, and they're trying to foist this wreck of a person off as the most qualified Republican after John McCain to be president. Despite the fact that she's ethically challenged, as confirmed by the Republicans in her state, and now she's clearly a thief. And teaching her children the same moral standard.

AP: "Palin children traveled on state expenses. VP hopeful charged state for children's travel, amended expense reports."

The first reason she's a wonderful pick for McCain is that she demonstrates the values of the Republican Party. More than anyone else in the country, she was picked to be a leader. McCain had to fight for his nomination, she was appointed after a long, hard search. Her ethical, moral and legal problems do not, in their eyes, make her any the less. Republican values.

Second, the country gets to see what is and isn't important to Republicans. It's important to attack others, not important to be honest. The old "listen to the words, don't check the deeds" that Bush has relied upon so much. I'm afraid that's ingrained in them.
