Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's SarahPAC has donated money to the campaigns of Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Orrin Hatch of Utah, as well as to Republican Ohio Senate candidate Rob Portman, according to a Friday filing with the Federal Election Commission.
The exact amounts of the contributions were not reported, but Palin had to list the names of candidates she had financially supported to make SarahPAC a bona fide political action committee.
Her contributions to Arizona Sen. John McCain, for whom she served as a running mate in the 2008 presidential campaign, and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski had been reported in a previous filings

Fight with the Democrats, not other Republicans. Or their won’t be anything left of your country.
Reagan campaigned hard for Pete Wilson in CA in 1982. He also had Richard Schweiker as his VP choice in 1976.
Please say it ain’t so...
The first order of business is to get power back. RINOs being what they are will follow a conservative lead just as readily as they’ll reach across the damned aisle.
Note this is SarahPac, not Gov. Palin’s personal endorsement/contribution.
EXACTLY..when I saw that her Pac gave money to Lindsey Graham at first I was like OH YUCK!! but then I thought, wait a second, he is locked in til 2014, why would she give him money, he isn’t even running for anything right now. If he were running in 2010 I would understand, but he isn’t, so why give him a dime. My guess is that they all gave to her Pac, since it was new and she had never had a Pac before, they all contributed to get her started(because no one knew how much money her Pac would make) now since it made a good amount, she is returning the money back to them. If she had endorsed any of those guys, she would have posted it on her facebook page, the ONLY candidate she has endorsed is Rick Perry, which she did months ago. She hasn’t endorsed anyone else
I like Palin, but I am of the opinion that she is not a conservative - these donations to the worst Rinos in the Senate confirm it.
If she were to spend the next few years reading every conservative book ever written and refining her message around conservatism and a return to constitutional principles and fiscal responsibility - then maybe I'll change my opinion.
HECK YEAH. I totally agree with that. Let’s take our country back, from BOTH sides. I haven’t been real impressed with many Republicans these days, except for a few. Just watch, some Republicans will vote for Obama’s DeathCare, I can guarantee it.
As far as Sarah’s Pac is concerned, I have a gut feeling, that the ones she gave money to had already given her money and she was paying them back. She hasn’t endorsed anyone except for Rick Perry, if she had endorsed anyone she would have issued a statement.
Whaddaya wanna bet she’s stronger on illegal immigration than Rubio is—but you support him on your profile page.

Rush Limbaugh defended Palin and heralded her as the “most prominent and articulate voice” for conservatism.
There is no one who can draw the crowds and energize them
as Sarah Palin.
some like to use various false excuses they don’t like Palin because they don’t want to give themselves away
as the bunker folks.
Palin understands we are at war and the enemy who hit us on 9/11 declared war on us. Her son fights in Iraq.
The Paulite isolationist hate those who understand we are at war.
One major reason Marxist Cindy Sheehan supported Ron Paul.
Palin supports RINO. Big shame.
True conservatives need to rally around Mike Huckabee. He’s a real conservative. Huckabee did a fundraiser for Marco Rubio. Also Jim Gilchrist, co-founder of the Minutemen, endorsed Huckabee during the 2008 primary. This is proof that Huckabee is conservative.
Huck’s a big government social conservative—not someone the country would back and not the man for these big-government times.
“I live in Ohio, and I am voting for Mr. Portman.”
I researched Portman, and he seems like a pretty good guy.
So one report and you are taking flight.
I just noticed something about WHEN the money was given to 3 out of 5 of the names on that list, July 17th, wasn’t that around the time she announced how much the Pac had made? This isn’t a contribution, she is giving them back what they gave her. Until I an proven wrong that is the theory I am going with, because she has NEVER even mentioned Lindsey Graham’s name. So this is looking more and more like reimbursement for a contribution they made at the beginning when she first started her Pac, now that its successful, she is giving the money back
I hadn’t thought of that. I hope you’re right.
I agree with you, and the real story here is not that she supports RINOS, but that some of her supporters are hypocrits, attacking others for things they will understand when she does them.
The date and explanation sound similar to what I have head earlier and probably correct.
Some of these folks also don’t want a woman for president
and arn’t adult enough to state this so become bottom feeders with slime and trashing of the only Conservative who can beat Obama, Sarah Palin.
