"How am I paying for it? SarahPAC," she said, adding that she's traveling in "our own personal motor home that we've had in Alaska."
Palin didn't answer when asked how long she's owned the bus that's adorned with the Constitution and a larger-than-life version of her signature. When asked, twice, how much her "One Nation Tour" has cost four days into the trip, she got visibly irritated.
"Check SarahPAC.com," she said. "I don't know why in the world you would ask a question like that. I'm just thinking about America and our foundations and our freedoms and our opportunities. Why would you ask something ..."
ABC News pointed out that she often talks about the economy and how much money we're spending.
"What does our economy have to do with how much we're -- I'm not asking you to pay for a penny of this trip," she said.
Cue the national anthem: the conversation was cut short when a group of school children visiting the monument launched into "The Star Spangled Banner."
SaraPAC.com does not currently offer any information about how much money has been spent on the tour. It does, however, feature a big green "Donate" button, inviting visitors to help fund Palin's trip across the nation.
donate????? => Adverisements on sites like Drudgereport.com also encourage Palin fans to donate.

how much does it cost the US taxpayer every time “the won” goes golfing?
She shouldda said;
“Well, it AIN’T taxpayer money!!!”
The Bimbo should of asked who paid for the Moochers trip to Europe for 500 people.
Libs are hopelessly confused by the difference between taxpayer-funded spending and private citizens spending their own money.
Go Sarah! It’s none of their business how Sarah pays for her own personal vacation.
Well, maybe not every word. Maybe every other word.
Well, maybe not every other word. Maybe every third word. Well, maybe not every third word.....
LMAO...
Palin has the media “angry... spitting angry....like a tornado of anger....whirling about”
I will support Palin just for pissing off the media lol.
They don’t even pretend anymore. This could have been written by a DailyKos diarist.
Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama isn't!

ABC news has pointed out that Sheila Marikar becomes visibly irritated when she sees successful people work hard, raise families and contribute to society.
Hey, Sheila, can we see your expense reports?
The MSM is going beserk trying to smear Palin-their hatred is pathological.
She should have said, “The entire trip across the United States will cost less than the Obamas’ date night on Air Force One to New York City. And isn’t taxpayer money.”
Just think of all the personal and professional ‘misdemeanors’ the MSM routinely overlooks when reporting on Liberal politicians!
Now, here's the MSM tripping over their own feet to direct this kind of a question to a private citizen! And, let's face it...Sarah Palin is (as of NOW) a private citizen who can go where she wants, how she wants so long as she doesn't break the law.
The MSM has been indulged like this, for so long that they have completely forgotten their mission.
NOW, for some reason the personal finances of a private citizen are newsworthy... more newsworthy that the actual reason that Gov. Palin is traveling AT ALL!!! Maybe they think we are all knuckleheads like Liberal voters!!
Gov. Palin- How many people did you employee for this tour, cuz lord knows, we need jobs after May's employment numbers.
Sorry Sarah fumbled on the answer and let this twerp get to her
response:
“This tour is being funded by SarahPac, a federally registered political action committee dedicated to building America’s future by supporting fresh ideas and candidates who share my vision for reform and innovation.
All contributions are voluntary. Note that my family is using a personal RV to minimize expenses.
Next question?”
Maybe you should try SarahPAC.com.
