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.

When I was a child my ambition was to become an illustrator for Walt Disney. This is as far as I’ve gotten. LOL!

Most of the posts here are cheerleading, trying to justify Sarah’s answers or providing what the poster thinks would have been a good answer. And she hasn’t even declared officially, she’s just taking a road trip. It’s going to be a long campaign. Questions about the legitimacy of spending, both government and personal, have to be fielded by politicians constantly.....

Well said. Instead of the cheerleading it would be nice to read something relative to the use of PAC funds. No doubt if Sarah is using the funds inappropriately someone will file a complaint. Heck even if she is not miss using PAC funds someone will file a complaint. It would be nice for those of us who are tired of the lies to have factual info to rely on. I do hope Sarah has all her "i's and t's" dotted.

Don't policitians use their PAC money for personal use all the time, as long as it has some political purpose? In Sarah's case, her family is visiting National monuments and areas pertinent to American history, and calling national attention to how we've moved from what the Founding Fathers envisioned for this country.

The money in SarahPAC wasn't left over from the previous election, it's money that has been donated SINCE then. It's not subject, as far as I know to FEC rules regarding money spent on elections. Hillary used her PAC money for years after her election, and I haven't heard of anyone going after her for it.

Of course, that doesn't mean they won't TRY to beat Sarah up over it.

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!

Agree with your comments. Also, one of my favorite shows from long ago was “The Gray Ghost”. Are you related or is that just your handle?

Don’tcha love how the lamestreamers worry about this but ignored Obama’s shady, socialist, past, his palling around with terrorists like Rashid Khalidi, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, Bernadine Dohrn, and a whole slew of others ?

The question was a distraction and is 100% bullshit and no dim has been asked that question in my lifetime... especially one that is not running and it is high time that Conservatives disallow the media their free hand in shaping the campaign template... Rush has pounded that theme now for two years and Sarah listens to Rush... so should you.

Sarah handled it quite well... Sarah told the bitch for obama that SHE was not asking her for a dime and it was none of her business and unless YOU have donated to SarahPac... it is none of your business either... if you have... by contacting them you may get further information. Funny how this new way of thinking goes over the heads of those stuck in the politics of the last century.

um, no I don't have to listen to what Rush tells me or what anyone else tells me for that matter. No Sarah should not cater to the media, but as far as is it my business, yes it is. Funny how those who are so heavily invested in their own opinion, with great "authority" don't afford others the same. And let me guess, you wrapped yourself in the American flag as you typed your comment, correct? OBTW, I ignored the memo that says you must say all things good about Sarah or say nothing at all. I do hope Sarah kicks @ss and takes no prisoners, but a blind approach to her actions by her followers won't help Sarah. She should have done better on the question.

All that you did was to write more bullsh!t. All you have is your opinion... that gives you no right here on FR to NOT have it questioned... question mine all that you wish... but stop with the hyperbolic attacks like your flag comment. It only reflects poorly on you... not me.
