This may have been asked and answered but my only question is - who pays for all the security at these events? Thanks for the news!

Bragg under not one, but two TriCare signs. She probably has no idea that TriCare is the title of military (and dependents') health care. And yes, it is a government-run program that has been in effect for decades. Looks like I am not the only inquiring mind... answers, anyone??? @ Nora #122

Are they on the state of AK COBRA or with Indian Health Service which Todd and his dependents should be eligible for, or are they paying out of pocket with her new found riches? Sarah has spent most of her adult life as an active participant and representative of the government - from City council, Mayor, to Governor and national VP candidate - she is hardly anti government, it has been her career.

He asked me about it and I just told him it was a site I blogged at and left it at that.He doesn't know the site.So I am safe and he moved to a different location,same job as a manager but a lot of different people some even blue collar workers instead of all white collar.

This is serious guys. It is not funny knowing the many ignorant people who are drunk with Sarah and Glenn Beck Cool aid. This country is so screwed. Total destruction ahead of us. Almost half a nation believes in this clueless lier. The number of clueless, uninformed people in this country is scary.
