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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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).

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.
