How is Sarah Palin Paying for Road Trip? Hmmmmm?

Libs are hopelessly confused by the difference between taxpayer-funded spending and private citizens spending their own money.

There's a difference? I thought all money was the government's. That's why tax cuts are a form of government spending, the one type of spending that the far left fringe wants curtailed.

[AFreeBird]

Well, technically it is taxpayer money since taxpayers are free to send her money. The difference is that the money sent to SarahPAC is freely given rather than confiscated...err excuse me, redistributed, by force of law.

Says it all.

The “I HATE Sarah Palin” campaign continues.

[Texas Eagle]

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

You're assuming this twit is reporting the exchange accurately.

[Paperdoll]

None of your —— business, Sheila!

[Lazlo in PA]

Right on. That would have been the proper response.

Libs are hopelessly confused by the difference between taxpayer-funded spending and private citizens spending their own money.

Yep. Money given to SarahPAC is freely donated by the public. Money acquired by taxation is confiscated. Not too hard to see the difference unless your a dimwit liberal who can't think beyond their own biases.

what we need is a continuing list of the msm:

their salaries,
bankruptcies,
marriages and affairs,
crimes,

etc.

[Cricket24]

She should have asked...”Why? Are you paying for my trip? If not, it’s NONE of your business!!”

[silverleaf]

It is not a personal vacation

It is funded by her PAC and has a political mission

Nothing wrong with that. No one forces anyone to donate to “SarahPac”

Unlike our taxes that support obama and wookie on their 5-star diplovacations

[PLD]

Well Sheila it is none of your damn business how she is paying for it..As for the bus I saw the bus on her show while she was traveling Alaska and that was more than likely two or more years ago..It just has been painted since that show..

Why don't you go and ask the Muslim who is paying for all his vacations and all the gas the free loaders are using twenty four hours a day...No he is suppose to tell that since he is using our money for it..She doesn't have to tell you a damn thing since she is not one of our elected officials,but your president is..

“I’m not asking you to pay for a penny of this trip,” she said.”

That seems like a perfect retort.

[COBOL2Java]

Palin got “visibly irritated” with a journolist hoping to find dirt (and/or making dirt up where it doesn’t exist)? Now, THAT’s news!

[Political Junkie Too]

I noticed that when the MSM reported on Michele's upcoming fundraising trip to San Francisco, they were sure to mention that she's also attending one non-fundraising event, too. That's how the Obama's justify the expenses.

Hey, princess--ASK HER. Just ASK HER.

Haw haw haw

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

PING!!!! This is precisely why she has not declared early----the leftist MSM is already snooping trying to find something wrong with how she's paying for her trip so that she can be nailed with FEC violations.

And I guess that Sheila never bothered to watch Sarah Palin's Alaska, where she would have seen the Palin family driving around in that very same RV (carrying the same Alaska license plates).

[End Times Sentinel]

ABC News pointed out that she often talks about the economy and how much money we're spending.

Uhmmm... "we" as in OUR FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.

Is this chick actually so stupid that she's fundamentally misunderstood the greatest issue of our generation?

I understand that journalists are amongst the dumbest "professionals" out there, but this is beyond the pale.

The reporterette is from the City of Evil: Sheila graduated with a B.A. in history from Cornell University.

I contributed, recurring, $20.12....that oughta take that RV down the road 25 miles.

Go Sarah. Tell them, at least it’s not taxpayer money ( and name any of Barry’s junkets).
