How is Sarah Palin Paying for Road Trip? Hmmmmm?
ABC News ^ | 06.01.11 | Sheila Marikar

Posted on 06/01/2011 10:09:50 AM PDT by rface

"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.

Hey, ABC ... go ask Mooshell how much she’s spending on her AF2 trips. Or ask the 0ne how much he’s spent on golf.

Add me to those who want you TO continue pointing out that Barry Dunham Obama Soetoro is not a natural born citizen.

I love finding out candidates’parents names, etc.

Besides, it’s the TRUTH!!!

Sorry Sarah fumbled on the answer and let this twerp get to her.

Not really a fumble.

Sarah recognized an agenda driven question and responded with a question herself (Why would you ask a question like that?), to shift the focus from the subject of the question to the motivation to ask the question. It exposed the "reporter" as a biased political shill.

There are better ways to do this for the general public, but no comment that worked well to destroy the "reporter's" credibility would be reported (smirk) by ABC.

Since Sarah is a private citizen it’s nobody’s business how she pays for her summer vacation! Period!

Mooshell is in the “ruling class” as is the One,
so there’s absolutely no problem in them spending money frivolously,
even if that money doesn’t really belong to them personally.

Guess how Michelle big Obummer’s trip was paid for when she went to Spain on AF#1?

Tooling around in a converted RV is not a big deal.
Retiree's do it all the time.
How does stuff like this make air time on ABC.
Yeah the Lame Stream Media is objective. What a joke.

Imho, you’re providing an important service here regarding any potential candidate. Please include me with those who want you to continue.

why not just answer the question and put it to bed?

“SarahPac”, a political action committee that accepts only voluntary donations, is funding this trip, and my family is using our personal RV to keep down the expenses.”

Why be defensive, irritated, evasive, flustered, or dismissive? Now that we know SarahPac is paying her bills, we know it is not a vacation. The Palins are on a political trail, a well-intentioned one. It is a natural question to ask who is paying the bills.

Puh leeze. This was a softball, and she IS playing ball.
If her quote here is reported accurately, I don't respect the way she handled this. She sounds like she got rattled for no reason, why be defensive about SarahPac?

She can handle herself against these people who are about to have their heads explode because she just smiles and goes on her merry way.

TELL THEM NOTHING AND LET THEM MAKE FOOLS OF THEMSELVES.

To: All; left that other site
Families take vacations, it is America's way. Family vacations are self paid. Gas and motels are all self paid. People save up monies for their trips, cruises, and driving vacations.

Do we ask everyone where the money comes from to pay for their for anything they choose to do?

STUPID questions, constantly being invasive and accusatory. The price of being a candidate, is the ruthless questions, full of sarcasm, and twisted into ridiculous directions. Father God keep Sarah and her family under your wings. As they go out and come in... Bless America. and Let not evil prevail, in Jesus name, amen

Sarah actually addressed this question in the interview with Greta Van Susteren. She ALSO quipped that with gas prices being so high, they might have to cut the trip short. So she stated exactly how it was being paid for and got a shot in on obamaat the same time.
AND if she was visibly irritated at a gotcha question after she has already answered the question the reporter asked, I don’t blame her one bit. It sounds like this so-ccalled reporter wouldn’t give it up even after she had the answer.

The ratio of those indicating they want me to continue pointing out that Barry isn't a Natural Born Citizen is 55:11.

Count me in that 55 side!!!!

I post regularly on a Delaware forum and have been trying to find your post in regard to Joe Biden being NBC and Bambi not. If you could find it in your heart to either point me in the right direction or freepmail it to me (at your leisure) I would be forever in your debt.

His statement is ironic because Sarah, as a faithful Christian, is making exactly the amount of money that God intended and not one penny more. Nothing enters our lives but that which God allows. Old Charlie is obviously ignorant of that concept.
